she and her swimming pool

she asks for her swimming pool everyday! this is what she'll do every night when i bring her up to the room.

she even took her blanket and sleep in it!! 

a wet saturday with kayla jie-jie

daddy set up ziyi's private pool once again two saturdays ago. i invited my friend Melanie to bring her 2.5 year old daughter Kayla along to play with ziyi. first, it would be fun to see them playing together, secondly i feel it was sucha waste of water if it was only ziyi playing alone, so Melanie, if you are reading this, let me know if you want to bring Kayla over again :D

i, on the other hand, was busy in the kitchen preparing a simple meal for our lunch. i cooked one-pot chicken rice with shiitake mushroom (easy peasy meal) and slow-cooked red bean soup. 

ziyi likes to play with water, unfortunately kayla was a little afraid and we had to coax her into the pool. i was told that she did not even sit in the water throughout the 1.5 hours in the pool! yes, the girls spent 1.5 hours out there and ziyi was a little tanned with bikini line marks on her body even though we put them at the car porch shaded area.

this girl threw tantrum when we told her to wait for kayla to be here 

before she could start playing with water!

mil managed to get her to pose for the camera :)

the girls hugging each other, sooo cute!

after meal they get to play with play-doh

ziyi received this pool (is it called ring pool?) from her piu yee on her 2nd birthday. we have not set it up for her to play yet as she has been falling ill frequently ever since she started her kindy. last week she has been well for a week and so we decided to let her play with water. hubby set the pool at our porch and she was the happiest kid on earth. her grandpa taught her to say "swimming pool" and she could pronounce it accurately. 

i left her to play in her pool with hubby keeping an eye on her while i went on to cook our lunch. the weather was just nice that day. she played for about 1.5 hours and still refused to come out. i had a hard time coaxing her. we'll try to let her play in the pool maybe once a month and hopefully there will be other little friends to come over and join her.
