I was so touched and impressed by my precious little girl this evening. I got home after work just after Gabby's dinner. My dad had prepared dinner for my mom and I before he went out to work, and Calvin's on duty tonight. As expected, Gabby refused to let me go shower and insisted that I sit down with her. Even after I tried to distract her and lure her away so I can go take a shower, she insisted that I stay within her sight. Then I decided to use another tactic.

Me: Gabby, Po Po's hand pain pain. You go to the kitchen and help her take the bowls ok? If not, her hand pain cannot do it herself you know... You go and help her ok?
Gabby: *suddenly stopped insisting that I sit down with her, looked at Po Po, went over to hug Po Po and pointed to the kitchen.

Both my mom and I were dumbfounded... I can tell how pleased my mom was... she carried Gabby and walked towards to kitchen. Before they got to the kitchen, my mom turned around and told me in Mandarin, "she loves (dotes on) me..."

It was just a simple yet heartwarming gesture from a 20 month old. I'm so proud to be Gabby's Mommy!

This morning when Gabby and I reached school, we took the lift with these 2 boys and their mom. The older one is probably 5-6 years old and the younger one is probably 3-4.

The older boy walked into the lift and exclaimed, "Baby! Mommy, this is the baby...". Then he signalled to his younger brother and asked him to say hi and play with Gabby. Then the mom asked the younger boy, "So this is the baby that you told me about?"

And the mom turned to me and told me, "My son told me that there's a very cute girl in school that he likes to play with..." All this while, the younger boy looked at Gabby shyly... and the older boy kept trying to encourage his brother...

So cute!!! My little girl has a little admirer!!!
