Sarah - 2 years Q3 update

My tutu tot before her class started

Quarterly faves.
1. Nail polish.  Learned from her mother and sister, enough said.
2. Water color. She enjoys water coloring so much, she wouldn't want to play outdoors!
3. Modeling compound.  We've been enjoying making fruits, animals, food and lots more.  I got her some good quality stuff (minus the steep price tag of Play Doh!) at Young Ones, a local school supply shop.   We make sure she washes her hands really well after every clay session.
4.  "It's dangerous!" and "oh my god" are what we hear from her lately.

Biking...with training wheels.
This month, Sarah finally got enough leg power to pedal her bike.  We'll give her a year or two to master the steering and pedalling before we take off the training wheels.  For now, she's happily cruising at the hallways and the playground area.

Fewer of these bad boys - vomit and constipation, hurray!
Vomiting has been a constant thing with her, with cries and coughs as trigger points.  Her pediatrician said she'll outgrow it, and it seems to be as lately the vomit monster has not been showing up.  As for the other villain, we've been giving Sarah daily doses of blended fresh fruits plus natural laxatives and probiotics.  She's passing motion almost daily, which is a big improvement from her previous once-in-3-days schedule.

She's starting to say the darndest things, here's a few:
1. When I scold her when she's being naughty, she'll quip "Mama, don't angry Sarah" then followed by "Sorry Mama, sorry."
2. While on Skype with my family, I asked Sarah to show her toys to her cousin Sofi.  She immediately gathered her toys around and said,  "Sofi, don't take Sarah's toys, it's dangerous!"
3. "Daddy, close the door."  After her father did, Sarah said, 'That's right."
4. Once when Sarah was having a mild diarrhea, our househelp asked her, "How's your tummy now Sarah?" and she replied, "My tummy's nice."  Throughout the day Ann asked her the same question.  Finally Sarah has had enough and said, "Ate Ann, stop asking!"
5.  Ravi ate the wantan mee I bought for Sarah.  Sarah turned to her father and said, "Daddy, don't eat my noodles next time k?  Daddy eat the spicy noodles, don't eat my noodles k?" :)
