Sophie today you turn two. It’s an age where you’re no longer a baby although I still call you that at times. It’s also an age that most parents dread as the twos have been given a bad name, often associated tantrum throwing, fighting for your independence amongst other things and hence the term “terrible twos”. We’ll try to reframe our mindset and call them the terrific twos and hope that you’ll live up to it!
Here’s a list with nuggets of memories of how you are at two.
- Your favorite color is purple despite mummy’s constant bombardment of all things pink in your wardrobe from dresses, socks, shoes, etc…
- Your vocabulary is expanding and you’re getting more vocal day by day. And just because you add a “please” loudly in your sentence, you assume you’ll get whatever you want.
- You are like a cat before bed time when you insist on scratching me before you sleep. You can’t even be fooled when I replace my arm with the bolster.
- You may look chor lor but really you’re a real princess at heart and can’t walk barefooted on grass and especially sand.
- Your favorite cartoon character evolved from Winnie, to Barney, to Elmo and the latest craze is all things Mickey. I couldn’t keep up that’s why you had an Elmo cake.
- You’re learning to count but always miss the number “5”when counting from 1-10.
- I wish that potty time (more specifically poo poo time) will soon be an easier time for you and me!
- You’re an avid reader and likes all books as long as there are stories of animals in them.
- You may only be two but you’re so thoughtful when you tell me we have to save the fruits for Daddy who’s driving and cant snack at the back of the car with us
- Last but not the least, you’re the sweetest, funniest, cutest, cuddliest toddler who has attitude with a personality to boot! And I pray that you’ll grow in confidence and bring joy and laughter to all those who around you!
Happy Birthday my National Day Darling!

Thanks for all your birthday wishes for Sophie!
Jo: when did Caylin get over it? Yes I do hope she’ll magically sit on her potty when it’s time to poo.
Happy belated birthday Sophie. God’s joy, wisdom, stature, favour be with you always. May you grow to be like mommy.
Thanks for the birthday wishes for Sophie, Lee Lee!
i can always relate to your post on cant kip up on what fav character the kiddo is into now. haha.. so i try not to expose new characters to him.. but he comes home telling mi barney when i swear i hav neber spoke its name in front of him even once..
i appreciate your determination to keep a record of Sophie’s growing progress while i can hardly rmb when was denson’s first flip, haha.. i m just focusing more on if he finishes his food/milk.. n when was the last doc visit.. so tat his health is not badly affected due to CC..
worries is constant on all mothers’ mind.. 🙁
Oh yes tell me about it. I was surprised she could identify angry birds when me and my hubby don’t even play the game. Yes and the same goes for Barney too. I’m sure they get all the exposure from school.
I agree that they grow up so fast and I also tend to forget her progress. Hence the blog serves to remind me of the nice and trying times during her growing up years.
You’re doing a great job juggling with work and Denson. It certainly a mom’s constant worry that their basic needs are adequately met and that the kids are growing healthy and happy.
My philosophy is happy moms, happy kids. So we just do what we can and not get overly worried.
agreed!
Happy mom = happy kid
so i dun scold him tat much anymore.. i reason out w him n kip repeating w a bubbly tone no negative vibes..
knowin i m no longer a teenage but still got to act like one.. haha
You mean but still want to act like one? Haha
still need to act like one.. energetic n tok as if u r forever young..
Happy Birthday, Sophie! 🙂 Loved the 2nd family shot btw!
Thanks! It’s my favorite too 🙂
