Thank you QY sweetie

Thank you QY sweetie, for being there for me when I was ill. I was feeling so miserable and closed to tears alone at home, till you came back smiling and gave me a big hug. I am glad you were there for me, staying by my side, stroking my hair and speaking so gently and lovingly to me. You remembered how you daddy place a cup of water at your bedside when you are ill, and you did the same for me. I am touched by your empathy and your care.
Your daddy asked you to take care of me and you willingly brought all your sleep stuff (1 big pillow, 2 small pillows, 2 bolsters, baobei, Caleb and Harrod) to sleep beside me, although you have always complained tha my mattress was uncomfortable.
You became so much more sensible knowing that mommy is ill. You know that I can't take care of you for a while, and you took the initiative to take care of yourself. I am so proud that you changed into your pyjamas without me asking. You were brave enough to switch on the toilet lights and entered the toilet alone although you never dared to do that in the past because you were terrified of the rats* there. I have always helped you to apply toothpaste and supervised your brushing, but now I know you are fully capable of doing it yourself. Dearest baby, you are so wonderful and I am glad you have grown and learnt so much. Thanks for bring so much care and warmth to me.

* Sorry dear, there is actually no rats in the toilet. It just your daddy's trick to get you into bed and close your eyes, so that you can fall asleep quickly.

She cheats again

She cheats again while playing 4-in-a-row. This girl can't take defeat or a draw. Everytime she realised she had played wrongly and I was going to win, she took out all the tokens and mess up the game. Then there was a game that started well, we keep encouraging her at every 4-in-a-row that she formed. We soon had a 2-2 draw, but she couldn't take the draw, and again messed up the game. That was the last draw, I got angry and walked off, declaring to my entire family that she CHEATED, and I am not going to play with her again.
