Yasmin at 14mths old

In life, I've learnt that we need not only experience but knowledge that guides our way.

This excerpt soothe me today:

" Hello, Suzanna!

Does it seem as if one minute your toddler is a shrinking violet clinging to your leg, and the next he's eagerly toddling toward the swing set without a backward glance? Those are classic examples of the push and pull you'll see your child go through on the road to independence. The best thing you can do is accept that sometimes he'll act needy and other times he'll ignore you. Give him the space he needs to explore (provided it's safe), but stay close by in case he wants to run back to you for an occasional hug of reassurance. Let your child's temperament be your guide, too: A cautious tot may need extra time to warm up to a new group of children, while you may need to closely supervise a spirited child so his exuberance doesn't overwhelm his playmates.

Hmmm...so that's why.

At 14mths old,Yasmin has been able to move confidently through the house.In Malay,she runs like a little "toyol".Hahaha..you could see her at one spot for a while.And suddenly,she springs behind you.Knocked onto her a few times actually without knowing.When we go out,she'll insist on us not holding her while she's walking.It can be tiring just chasing after her.(That's exercise-I've lost 4kgs looking after her!)

I bought her some stacking toys(small buckets with numbers on them).But she got frustrated when I'm not helping her.The good thing is that the toy could be used to play during her bathtime(It also has holes that represents the number on the bucket).So she has a splendid time scooping all the water.

Yasmin is babbling more nowadays.Sounds like a sentence of unknown words.In fact,I'll like to irritate her just to heer her make sounds.

Well...that's the recent updates about her.Meanwhile,I'm waiting for the rain to stop and the sun to shine.

It's a lovely day afterwhile.Because I'm with her.
