Yeah! We have the bed to ourselves again! Charlotte has been sharing our bed with us since 6+ months old... As for Charmaine, she has been sleeping on the pull-out bed since 1+ month old in the nursery, which will be the girls' room in future...
Last Thursday, Charlotte suddenly told me that she wanted to sleep with mei mei! Dearie and I were very surprised and happy when she volunteered to sleep on the higher bed, while Charmaine slept on the pull-out bed... We kept our fingers crossed that it was not an impulse decision on Charlotte's part...
Luckily, she slept through the night on her own bed and only looked for us the next morning when she woke up! We feel so blessed that Charlotte's transition to her own bed is so smooth and the 2 girls are finally sleeping in their own bedroom... but sad to say, we still need to coax them to sleep separately at nights... guess we need to take 1 step at a time...
Wow! How time flies! It has been 5 months since my last entry... and tomorrow is a big day for Charlotte! She turns 2 tomorrow!
This time round, there is no birthday party but a family outing to Underwater World at Sentosa in the morning and dinner with my in-laws at Liang Court in the evening. Last year, Dearie also took leave and celebrated our birthdays (since mine was 2 days after Charlotte's). We also brought Charlotte to UW but she was too young then to really appreciate the fishes... This year, we believe she'll be able to have more fun at identifying and interacting with the fishes! Charmaine will be too young though... Hee, and the cycle begins...
Our 2 girls never fail to make us laugh... Their affection for each other really tug at our heartstrings... Every morning, when Charlotte opens her eyes, she will ask Daddy to wake up and look for Charmaine in the next room... Charmaine loves to watch her and will touch her hand or pull her clothes, to which Charlotte will say "En En likes Charlotte's shirt/pants"... Hope they will continue to stay close and love each other...
Have been a SAHM for nearly a year (having quit wef 3 Jun 09)... have gotten used to this lifestyle and look forward to every evening and weekend, when we can spend more time as a family. =) Tomorrow, we will wear our first family shirt, which we specially ordered for Charlotte's 2nd birthday. The birthday girl will also wear a tiara-headband, which we hope she'll not remove for photo-taking...
