This morning, as we were about to leave the house and going for breakfast, Cassie walked out the door with only ONE green sock on her right leg. Proudly she asked me : "mom, am i pretty ?". Of course my answer is always supportive and always a big 'YES, you are ! "
Happily, she walked everywhere with her green sock, ignoring others' strange look at her. She doesn't care how other look/judge/comment on her, just want to do her things and do it her way. Isn't this how we should all live our lives ? gutsy and boldly going out with what we want to do instead of cir cum to others judgments ?
Well, that's how i want to live my life and that's how i want her to live hers. Thus, today is the one green sock on right leg day ! and today, i have no intention to change her sock or explain to onlookers ! Go green sock !
we've been eating out lately and Cassie has took part in the food ordering when we're in the restaurant. We usually will let Cassie decide what she want to have for her meal.
Lately, she decided to be our waitress at home. She will bring me a card and ask me what do i want, then she will go to her table, jolt it down in her paper, and then tell me that i've gotto wait a while for my food because she's going to bake it in the oven. (her toy closet) hahaha.
i usually will say i want some juice, and chicken. Then last weekend, she asked me : "hey mom, how about some fun ?" Yes dear, isn't it great if we can order 'fun' from the menu ? :)
Since her flu+fever+food poisoning and etc sickness episodes last month, we've decided to stop sending Cassie to her kindergarten. Well, at least temporary (i thought).
She has many flu episodes ever since she started school. Due to her sensitive nose condition, she gets flu more easily than others and the flu tends to stay with her longer than others too. Because of that, in certain months, she came back with flu, it went on for 2 weeks, then she goes back to school again and the next day, she came back with flu again. Another thing is of-course she lose a lot of weight and i think she is skinny even when i checked the development chart, she is in the 'normal' range.
Anyways, ever since she stop school, things has gone better for her. She sleep better and she doesn't have the flu condition at all (ZERO incident) ! That is of-course the ultimate result we want to achieve.
A lot of ppl has asked if i'm afraid she might lose out in her academic development, some even proposed she goes to 'special' school. Well, i'm too worry about that at all. in terms of continue kindergarten, i think we'll wait and see. most probably, i think we're going to wait till next academic year before we begin the school routine again. Right now, the main focus is trying to boast up her antibodies' strength.
Now that she doesn't have school routin, it's a totally new home-school routine for her. :)
I gave 
Cassie a book full of blank pages and a pencil to keep her occupied. She carried this booklet wherever she goes. Cassie will scribe whenever and wherever, including to the restaurant, waiting in line at a checkout counter, in grandparent's place and etc.
I run through her book the other day and found some interesting drawings. This is one of the drawing that has a 'story' in it. It's about a girl and a spider. See how the spider is on top of the girls head and the girl is actually in a sitting position ?! :)
The drawing has a familiar thingie to it and i think it's from one of the rhymes she recites :).
Cassie was pretty concern over my bag and handphone. I did explain what happen to my bag and handphone and how the thief took the things. When i told her thief, she look at my with a lot of question marks because she doesn't understand the word thief.
Then i told her it's just like bad guys from the TV, she then said : "O !" and with a concern on her face. Then she asked me : "mom, who's going to help the bag ? " hahaha, she thinks the bag needed rescue.
Later the day, she told everyone about the incident and keep saying that the thief is really bad. Then she turn and ask me about the bag and phone again, i told her they are gone and i don't have any rite now. She then comfort me and said, 'Mom, it's OK. we'll go buy new one for you. What color do you want ?'
oh, sweet sweet Cassie. She knows how to soothe the pain away :)
She then came out with the idea to wash her bike when i was out watering the plant.
Of course she got herself all wet, but it was still a satisfactory tasks for her. She then jump straight into her bath tub rite after that.
We were out for a dinner yesterday. Half way through the dinner, Cassie asked me to feed her. She wanted me to cool down her food by blowing into her bowl. Just caught the flu, i told her i cannot do that because i'm sick.
Then, she turned to her dad and she asked : "dad, are you sick ?"
her dad answer : 'nope'
Cassie then said : "dad, can you cool down my food and blow into my bowl ?"
of course, her dad obliged...
hahaha ..
Cassie woke up and started drawing this morning. I left her doing it on her own while i fuss over my morning routine (brushing teeth & etc).
