Shannon's Favourite Colours

Nope... her favourite colours is not red and green... Those missing letters was her favourite colours. She took her favourite colours letter away from this board and her favourite colours are.......



BLUE and YELLOW

As you can see from the photo above, she kept all the rubbish blue and yellow papers, toys, puzzles in her backpack which she carries around everyday.

Fever Updates

Her fever went away when I checked on her at 330am last night.

However, her fever came back in the morning and goes up and down the whole day. Well, she was really cranky and hard to please today *pulls hair* I am canceling her class tomorrow. Let's hope that she gets more rest and recover soon.

Ohh... I still have a mountain of clothes to fold and pack! "Sigh"

After Zoo Excursion

Shannon looks so stylo with sunglasses on. ^_^

We left the zoo at about 430pm.. we were really tired. We called Aunt Jo and Uncle Dean and realised that they are at CWP. Thus, we decide to have dinner together. After dinner, we went to Kiddy Palace and Shannon started her shopping...

UTI Review

Early morning at 8am, we brought Shannon to KKH for VCUG

Initially, we opted to let Shannon sleep thru the procedure thinking of minimising her trauma to the test but was advised by the nurse that it is no good for her brain and it will take longer for the test to be done. Thus, we decided to go ahead with her eyes wide big.. :(

Its a traumatic day for her... She was all straped up and was crying non stop for the ordeal. I was inside holding her hand and trying to calm her down while she was struggling and screaming for help.. she stared straight in my eyes, crying for my help to get her out of that place... I feel really helpless and heartache to see her going thru the test.

Finally after 30 minutes, she released her urine in her bladder and doc said everything is okay and no scaring of her bladder...PHEW....

Shannon @ 17th Month

Shannon seems to very tired today... She was asking for her tibits right after we reached home.. I gave her some, put her on the sofa and went back to the kitchen to finish up some work. Somehow, i find its unusually quiet in the living room, so i went out and saw her sleeping in a sitting postion with the tibits lying on the sofa... :P

Baby Bonanza 2006 Semi-Final

Today is the semi-final of the baby bonanza 2006... went to compass point earlier for lunch before the contest starts... However, during lunch time, Shannon choked on a piece of meat and vomitted on herself.. :( quickly clean her up with water in the toilet ... although we brought extra clothing for her but i still find her abit smelly.. hehehe

As you can see on the second picture.. she started to lost her temper and was cranky all the way due to the earlier vomitting .. to make thing worse, the contest started later than expected... and she is getting more and more tired.. Daddy was standing in front of the stage in order to capture some memories.. I was trying to please her by running after her and pleasing her...

Finally, its our turn!! We went up the stage and again started some interview... She is sleepy so throughout the short interview, she is not really smiling at all... Frankly speaking, among the 20 toddlers, Shannon definitely had high chance squeezing into the Finals.... Guess the host is also trying to help me by asking a crucial question and I screwed it up. I was asked if Shannon's dress is bought specially for this event and my answer is NO!!! hahaha.. well, i am being frank but judges and the sponsors will definitely prefered someone who have a high regard for the event.

After result, we headed straight back home to have a good rest. We are contented that we have a chance to experience this contest and proud that Shannon is in the top 20 of all submitted entries...

Deep in our heart, Shannon is still our beloved prettiest princess... ^_^
