When you have a little one at home, you realise how fast time flies and how fast the little one is growing! My Qi Ning is already twenty mths and 2 days old now! This busy mummy had no time to update her development last week.
Weight: 12 Kg
Height: 84cm
Toilet training: Successful, she can tell you when she want to poo & pee. Yea, mummy can save on diaper now!
I am happy with her overall development. She can sing quite well, new songs that she acquired this moths are: ABC song, There are seven days in a week, Jesus loves me, "ke ren lai". And sometime she would invent her own song.
At moment she loves to wear her slipper, whenever we go out she would ask to wear her slipper instaed of shoe. I told her to put on her shoes, her reply to me is "Ning Ning big girl wear slipper." I was suprised to hear saying that. Indeed my little girl is growing up fast! I really enjoy having her!

Busy, busy, busy
This week is a really busy week for me as it is the college annual family week where I am responsible for the events. Also because I am taking on teaching responsibility beginning this semester, I am not able to be home as early as I use to. My little girl is feeling the absence of her mummy. :(
Beginning this week, every morning she would hang on to me and refused to let me go to office. She would cry when I leave. This morning, when she saw me took out the office clothing, she actually asked me to put it back to the closet. I told her mummy need to go to the office and her answer is "cannot go"! It really sadden me to leave her behind everyday and some time I do feel guilty. Hope that she understand when she grows up why mummy need to go to office!

Horse riding trip!
Last weekend we went to Fraser Hill for our church camp. One of the highlight for everyone is the horse riding experience. Qi Ning also had a go at it. Last year when we took her there, she just sat on the horse and took a picture. This year she actually went for a walk on the horse with Shirley jie jie (Shirley jie jie share the same birthday as her). Qi Ning was so excited and wanted to go for another round!

To keep or not to keep the temporarily maid
About 11 days ago, we took a temporarily maid to help up at home. The agent say if we think she is ok, we can keep her. Have been observing her for the past weeks. For the first week, there were twice she woke up just before we get down for breakfast i.e 7.30am. Water is not boiled, her morning chores not done! She smile sheepishly and say "saya baru bangun" (just wake up), even after we have given her an alarm clock and is very sure that the alarm clock is working! Ask her if the alarm clock rings she say yes. We ask her to wake up at 6.00am or not later than 6.30am as per agent instruction but there are days that it doesn't seem to work!
She has improved in some of the task since the day she comes and seems to be eager to please us. She is not the smart type and does not take initiative in doing things. Even when you want to shows her how to do certain task, she will stand there and watch till you ask her to be involved!
We took her to the church retreat at Fraser Hill over the long weekend. There were three other maids, even those other maid told us not to keep her, saying she is inexperience and doesn't know how to do things.
For me, I do see her trying to do her best but I don't know whether is her nature or she is really slow, she just don't follow. You have to repeat and repeat for days then she will get it! I brought her to my sis-in-law place last Sunday, she has had maids for many years, her comment is that it seem like an attitude problem after she observe how my maid work in the kitchen for the evening.
I am not a very fussy person, I just want someone who can help do the housework and help to look after Qi Ning when I requires her to do so. Being a young girl she is not experience in taking care of little one. Ask her to help look after Qi ning she would normally just sit there with Qi ning or stand there looking at her. Told her, she has to communicate with Qi Ning and play with her if not Qi Ning would not want her. She is still not very good with Qi Ning yet.
So I am toying with the idea maybe I should not keep her. At the same time, I feel sorry for her. If I reject her, then this is her third time being rejected by an employer. I see that she is trying hard but somehow, I am not sure if she will continue to try hard when we take her on permanently! Her nature seem to be very lay back and I am not sure when our second baby arrive year end, with her slowness if she would be a help or a source of frustration! If I follow majority vote, she will have to go, if I let my heart have a say, I feel sorry for her and may keep her for trying hard but if I allowed my rational mind to be involved, then I may follow the majority. Hubby and I are undecided, we agreed we should observe her for a little longer b4 we decide! What do you say my blogger friends?!
