Mid Atumn Festival (03/10/09)

It was Mid Autumn Festival where the moon is supposedly to be the fullest of the year. Shannon made her very 1st lantern in school. Her lantern design was a fish but needed some modification by Daddy in order not to burn her lantern up.

She had fun chasing her cousins with the sparkling sticks. Here are some photos of her having fun.

Preparing for the Arrival of our 2nd Child

It had been a journey for all of us. Preparing the arrival of our 2nd child and cultivating Shannon on sharing her stuff with her sibling.

Yesterday we were packing the bag for Mummy to be ready for the delivery. I was telling Shannon that Mummy will need to go to the hospital to give birth and that she won't be able to follow. She bursts into tears saying she wants to go to the hospital to accompany Mummy. It was difficult to let her understand and without giving her the impression that baby was snatching her Mummy from her. Promise her that I will bring her to see Mummy and baby once Mummy had given birth.

Now she will call Mummy and ask to bring her to see doctor together. I'll have to need to rush home to pick her up to visit the gynae with Mummy tomorrow evening.
