Went to the clinic for the maid’s medical checkup.
JS: Why kakak have to come here?
ME: For medical checkup to renew her work permit
JS: Why need work permit?
ME: If not kakak cannot work with us and must go home, else policeman will catch.
JS: I don’t want kakak to go back Indonesia. Kakak is my friend (Though she always bullies and talk rude to the maid)
While the maid has gone to the doctor’s room. JS kept asking for her, as though she would never return once enter the doc’s room

Every night before JS close her eyes to sleep, she would sprang up and ask me
“Mummy, have you lock all the doors?”
It has been weeks she repeated that. I don’t know why.

Once we were back home from our outing, we would changed into our home cloths. JS being observant, will also request to be changed.
She can now differenciate between uniforms, pyjamas, at home shirt (that’s what she calls it) and go out shirt.
“Mum, please change for me to at home shirt!” (Yes, she has started to call me MUM and hubby DAD…feel that she’s talking in such a grown up way. I don’t really like it. She must have learned from TV. I prefer her calling me Mummy)

Observant or Vain?
“Mummy/Kakak, why you always wear the same shirt to go out?”
“Not nice lah…change another one!”
The other day MIL came over. First thing JS said was
“Ah Mah, why every time you come Lavender, you wear the same shirt?” “Wear another shirt lah!”
Indeed MIL wears the same shirt every time she travels on a public transport, a not so flashy and old shirt as she does not want to attract too much “attention”.

My boy has also started recognising his different sets of clothes and would insist on wearing pyjamas for sleep, going out clothes for kai kai and at home clothes for staying in. For eg, if we want to just go out for a short while and don’t change him, he would kick up a fuss. He’s even fussy about the shoes he wears! Much more fussy than my girl used to be at his age.

It means JS has grown up and smart to recognize of different colors and even floral shapes.

It’s part of the growing up. Hope that she won’t recognize brand so early and ask me to buy expensive branded stuff for her. LOL
