A matter of mistaken identity

Mommy woke me up last Saturday night telling me to place Clarissa in the cot. Still daze and half asleep, I just took the child who looked like Christa (due to the clothing) and did just that. The following morning, I took a look at the children's bed and told Mommy, "Doesn't Christa just look more like Clarissa as she gets older?". Mommy said,"That's Clarissa on the bed! You took the wrong one last night. I thought you realised that?!".

I guess the children shared their clothing as they are almost the same size now, except that Clarissa is much slimmer.

What would I do if we ever get to half a dozen children?

Uncle has a fat and a shaky bum-bum!

Ooops!!! It was just after shaking the hands of a church friend where Clarissa made a startling remark, "Uncle has a fat and shaky bum-bum!". To my horror she mentioned it as he was just leaving. It's often that she does a running commentary of what people wear and how they look in their outfit. I asked her to repeat what she said about the uncle and she said nothing. We're planning to explain to her that she was to be careful what she says as not to hurt others.

Daddy, I want .... stomach!

Last night Christa was restless when Mommy went out of the bedroom and took some time to make a call. She came to me and tugged at my toes. I looked up and took a peek as I was tired after visiting a friend in hospital. "Daddy, I want ... stomach!" She grabbed the duvet and clamboured onto the bed right besides me. Within the next few seconds she jumped on my stomach(ouch!) and placed her whole body on my chest hugging on her bolster.

"Hmmm...! She wants some pampering!", I thought. I did a little of a massage on her back and patted her until she dozed off. "Hmmm...!", I said. "I could do that again!", I told Mommy when she came back. I placed her back on her bed and she had a last look at me before settling down in contentment. That seemed to have worked and I went on to have a chat with Mommy in the living room.

Tropical Fish and Tobacco Doesn't Mix!

I usually bring Clarissa and Christa to the Aquarium at One Utama where they would be busy staring at the huge tropical aquarium with large kaloi, kelah, koi, catfish, etc. They also get to feed the 'koi' with the fish food (RM2/packet). We always watch and see whether the fish have been fed before feeding them.

The only problem is that the shopping mall's smokers also puff away in the surrounding. Some even do it with their children around. How I would wish that Health Officials are better at enforcing the 'No-Smoking' rule! Besides, 31st May is World No Smoking Day!". Clarissa in protest tells me, "Daddy, why that uncle is so naughty smoking here and dirty the place?!".

Favourite Play Area and Crocs

Clarissa and Christa love to go to Anakku The Curve for one purpose i.e. to visit the play area. They have a cartoon video session while the children play on the slide, toy house and toy puzzle. At times, (if they don't fight over the toys) they would get to interact with the other children and parents.

I watch over them when they are there and Mommy has a look at the interesting clothing and baby accessories on display. Finally, the girls would keep the toys but we still have to figure out how to get the girls out of the play area. We almost always tell them 'the toys are nicer over the other side'!

Mommy tells me that we have to go shopping again for shoes this weekend. It's often difficult to get shoes that are safe, comfortable and lasting. Looks like it's time to go shopping for Crocs. They look really attractive and would look good on my girls anytime. Hmmm... no wonder why they also have a premium price tag!

So, it looks like we're gonna be heading to The Curve and IKANO Power Centre again this weekend!
