1st fall

I have started to let her have opportunity to make choices...

Today I took her shoes and wetsuit, asked her "Would you want to go for a walk or a swim?" She pondered a while, stared at the two things and said "walk walk"

After the walk around the Ng's "park", we reached home and played bubbles coz I just bought a new bubble gun. So she busied chasing after the bubbles, then she fell and scraped her knee, got blood type.. *boo hoo As I didn't want to dampen her high, I changed her into long pants and continued. Alamak, after she got "higher" and ran so fast ... the inevitably happen lar, her hand got a gash trying to break her next fall.





No cries from her, just a curious look while she stared at her palm. I stopped the play and brought her for a bathe with soap bubbles. After the bath I applied some cali bb cream to the wound, and I believe it stung her a little since it was as a open wound. I blew her hand, gave her a kiss but decided at the end to put a plaster just in case she goes touching and gets infected.


Great child, no whines... :) We were all very proud of her. Of course there was the drama when the grands (including my mil's twin sis) came back from church and when DD T woke up from his nap (he just touched down from flight) Oh the kisses, the hugs, the little one showing off her plaster "trying to explain what happen" and the grands giving their version of what happen. Me and God ma and Aunty Nita busied ourselves with preparation of tomorrow's Fathers Day, didn't bother to explain. We are doing Italian, Mexican feast....

I think she is a leftie, for both of the falls are on her left side. Which means he uses her left side the block falls.. hmmm don't know if its gotta do with the logic right side of the brains sending signals.. or that she is using her dominant side to protect her.. we shall see...

I read that kids fine with both sides, Ry tends to use her left too but I nudged her to use her right as well...cos lets face it, it's a right handed world BUT if she is a leftie, it's pretty awesome it usually means they are more creative.
