Christmas Gift

What did you get for Christmas?

It's an activity board! I was trying to figure out what gift to get Samantha for Christmas. More books? Some more toys? Dolls? (gasp).

Then I came across this (and another) activity drawing board. What a great idea! On one side, there is a whiteboard. There are also magnetic alphabets and numbers provided, which can be used on the whiteboard as well. On the other side was a chalkboard. Some chalk is provided but I have put the chalk aside for now.

She seems to really like this activity drawing board. This is money well spent. She can draw (her favourite) a moon. Well almost.. if you really squint your eyes, it'll look like a moon.

Better yet, she can draw (well.. at least the location and numbers are correct) the parts of a face!



I start with a circle and ask her. Eyes? (She marks 2 places where the eyes should be. Nose? She marks the center of the face. Ears? She draws some squiggly for the ears on each side of the face. Mouth (yup.. it's in the right place as well. Along with the hair, cheeks, chin, teeth... Picasso would have been challenged!



Another masterpiece!

Strike a pose...

... there's nothing to it!

Merry Christmas to all readers of The Little One!

Christmas Eve at Cineleisure

We spent Christmas Eve at the Curve and Cineleisure. There was a big big crowd all around and parking was very difficult. As usual, Malaysia Boleh Parking Strategy was used by many. We then went to check out Cineleisure, to see what the fuss was all about.

This was after dinner at Dragon-I. Now Samantha also loves the Siu Long Pau. Not the entire Pau, but only the soup within the pau! She simple refuses to try the pastry or the meat inside, but just relishes the soup within. There was a big snakes and ladders display and Samantha wanted to try it out. Mama helped to take off her shoes.

She ran all around the opened area (giant snakes and ladders display stuck to the floor).







Daddy and Samantha!

A hat at Billion

Nice? It's a hat from Billion. 

Mickey Hat

Look at what I took back from 1Utama. It's a Disney Channel Mickey Hat!









Oooo.. Original you know..









Also, Samantha is now tall (and smart enough) to open the room doors.










Scooby Chin dropping by and pretending to be a mouse as well :)

In a bouncy net

Samantha had never tried a bouncy net before. What is a bouncy net? Well, in short, it's a net that bounces. The theory is to bounce a baby to sleep. Here she is trying out Yang Yang's net. Yang Yang is curiously wondering what is happening in his bed!






Where are you?!









The Little One in the Net? :)

Mickey at 1Utama

Mickey Mouse made his appearance at 1Utama for the Christmas celebrations. Here's Samantha and Mickey!








Daddy joining the fun

















Hmm.. looks like Mickey's ears.

Ponytail (2)

Hey! something is on my head!









Hahaha...









Oooo

















Mommy made it possible :) (photo taken by Samantha Yuen)

Ponytail (1)

This is a new experience for Samantha. She usually doesn't like hats, or people messing with her hair. So we were also surprised when she allowed us to tie up her hair.







See? Nice!









Where is the hair tie !?







Nice? Nice!

Little Photographer

Samantha likes taking photos. Here's a shot of her daddy!

Taking more photos

Looking at the LCD and snapping!

Exercise time!

It's time for exercise! I also have an exercise mat!









Put your arms out...









No no no.. you are doing it wrong!








That's more like it!
