Why?

Cleo at Church

Isn’t this such a nice photo. Its taken by Brenda and i think Cleo looks lovely here.

I think the world is growing bigger for Cleo day by day. With every new thing she comes across the classic question “Why?” and “But Why?” is used repeatedly. I love explaining, but its hard to explain in order for her to understand. An easy one would be “Why raining?” ok Clouds she understand, Sun she understands, Hot she understands, evaporation is kind hard to explain… So basically is the water go up into the sky and becomes the cloud, then when there is too much water in the cloud, it falls back down as rain.

Why so many cranes? Because they are building a house. But why? Because… Why? Because… But Why?… and so on. Classic. :)

Cool Cleo

Gong Xi! Gong Xi! This is what Cleo wore on the first day of CNY 08. A nice rainbow-ish dress that brings up the bubbly character she has. With the orange shades, we have a cool little girl.

The girl is growing and now at 3yo she knows what she wants and most of the time insists persistently. There was one night we were at the petrol station and she was sleeping in the car, she woke up only when we were just leaving. She wanted to get down, she wanted to have a walk in the petrol station’s convenience store… but we just left… so this lead to a 3 hour tantrum that almost killed us her parents.

At 1am i could not take it anymore. I told my self, i’ll put myself in her shoes… “Going to the petrol station is a big deal”… ok… car keys.. off we go.

Cleo playing cards

The opinionated girl wants to do things her way. She just reached an age where she knows what she wants, she have preferences. My girl is growing… and the day will come when she knows who she wants to hang out with and i hope we her parents are in the list.
