2:15am...

and my Megan is reading - more like flipping her book *sigh*

why why... why did I have to switch on the fan?!!! *bang head*

she was asleep by 9pm.. back to her normal timing.

tsk tsk...

Anyhow, the cutest thing happened this evening.

After dinner, Zack and I were (on our feet) hugging while chatting. A couple of smooches. Then we felt a little dwarf beside us, looked down and there was Megan standing next to us, staring up at us. She reached up and took Zack's hand (which was on my hips)! I reached down and she took my hand as well. (Mind you, Megan is at a stage where she doesn't like having her hands held - very independent and wants her freedom.) So we pretended to ignore her and continued smooching, just to see her reaction. She then hugged our legs and take Zack's hand again! HAHAHHAHA! Heart warming I tell you.. :)

Before dinner while saying grace, Megan gets very excited when we all hold hands in a circle and say grace.. and at the end of the prayer, Zack and I goes, "AMEN!" She loves it! :)

It is very interesting watching Megan's character development. When she is slightly younger (12-15 months), she just learnt to walk and was really gungho. "Don't hold my hand! I wanna walk on my own." Fiercely independent, a tad reckless. Go about her daily routine of home arrangement, chasing Pappe with a mindful focus, just a watchful eye on mummy.

Since she turned 15 months, things have changed slightly. She is more clingy (not sure if the trip to Europe played a part), realises that mummy & daddy are VIPs - mummy especially! :P. She follows me more closely at home as well. When she's scared, she'll run to me. More so when she's upset. Only mummy can soothe her when she fusses at night. It's like magic. Just a couple of days back, Megan was upset about something and she held up her arms for me to carry her. Zack wanted to carry her but she turned away from him. Awww... daddy was hurt :( Told him he gotta bathe and diaper change her more to win her favour. He actually paid more attention to her.. haha So yeah, Megan now likes being in the action, being involved with us. Loves our attention, our approval. Alot more aware of her surroundings and more cautious as well. Doesn't run amok like a kampong chicken the minute her feet touches the ground now (not as much). And definitely more affectionate :) She'll come hug us, lean against us, kiss us. One I love most is when I am sitting/squatting on the floor and she'll come hug my back and hold onto me. Melts your heart.... :)

Gosh.. its past 3am.. and i am hungry :(
nothing to eat at home.
feeling like a peanut butter sandwich..
