Bebeth

The 2nd blog is dedicated to my first child, Bethanie, we call her Bebeth sometimes. I decided to create one for her, as it is not fair if I only created one for her sister to be - Charmaine. This is to capture the precious moments and her milestones from now 15 mths till she grows up. Hope you enjoy it!

Prayer.....before sleep


I taught her from young to pray before she sleeps,

following is her style of prayer:


Thank you, God, I am healthy, I don't have cough, I don't have phlegm, I don't have runny nose, I don't have fever, I thank you God, I love mummy, I love daddy, I love Charmaine, I listen to Mummy, in Jesus name, I pray, amen, ..............now sleep (this phrase is because she copies me) ha..ha... she repeated every word i say, including my instruction to her to sleep.


Shy........


That's her biggest shy. I don't understand why she is so shy. It probably because we like to say "liu liu xiao....liu liu xiao" whenever she is naked. So when she grows up, she can understand that. I know, her daddy likes to tease her when she is naked, and laughs at her. From there, she becomes too shy, she will close the toilet door, when she is peeing, and asks her dad not to see her. Even, I, got it too. One day, I went to see her, bathing in the toilet, and I didn't laugh at her, she said' mummy didn't laugh at me, yes.....I said, why must mummy laugh at you, don't be shy, it's your own mummy". From then, she would say and repeat what I said that and she is no longer shy if i look at her naked.

sensible and sensitve

that's her character, from young I could tell as her mother. She was watching her favourite olie polie, polie (i think the girl's name), was crying when she attended to a flower who was feeling sad. Well, Bebeth quickly said, mummy, the flower is sad. By looking at the picture, she could tell that the flower was sad. And that moment, the tears burst out from Polie's eyes, Bebeth was crying, oh.....so sad, I hugged her and said, it's ok, ...it's just a movie. She really sobbed and i think she really felt the sadness Polie had.

Yes, I knew a couple of times, she could sense my feeling when I was upset or sad. She would try to console me in her way.

When her sister Charmaine fell down, she would ask: Are you OK?

Everytime I get on the car, and before I close the car door, she would always remind me; "Be careful your leg, mummy."

She is so loving and caring. That's one thing I love about her. Thanks God, she inherits this sensitive character from me.

Loving me tenderly

she is a very loving child. ........one thing about her, she is observant, one time, she saw my thumb cut, and plestered, she was so worried ..." oh not...blood come out". The next day she checked my thumb and said oh...better already. .....

her sister charmaine hit me with the toy on my thighs, and she would use the same toy, and rub it on my thighs the place when I was hit by her sister. She said oh no...mei mei beat mummy. She is really really a loving child.

She sometimes talks like this " I like mummy, i don't like daddy"

In fact I was quite tough on her, i will discipline her quite bad, sometimes when i am angry, i can just hit her with the flower stick. But she is scared of me, one thing she made a mistake, she knew it, because i have told her many times, to keep all her toys at the same place, but she always messed it around and sometimes there are blocks, puzzles pieces that gone missing. One night, I could not find one piece of letter A, she was scared, and finally out her fear, she remembered where she kept it, it was under the dining table.

I was very fierce when I was angry.

I am sorry my child, but i try to be more gentle next time.

I told her, she is the apple of mummy's right eye, and charmaine is the apple of mummy's left eye.
