Apple In Papa's Eyes

Papa was on medical leave today due to his dry eyes. Ever since his lasik operation (many years ago), Papa has not been able to produce enough tears to lubricate his eyes. As a result, his eyes sometimes hurt very badly and need "aqua-blink" rehabilitation (my own term for it). However, that did not deter him from playing with his favourite little girl. And of course, she reciprocated by doing what he loves most - jamming with her guitar. In fact, she was singing and swaying to her own music!

Well after her "performance", we decided to let her practice "fishing". We used her original wooden fishing game to "train" her. It took a while but she mastered it well. I bought her this set of wooden fishing game before she was 1 year old. I was still wondering when she would be able to play with it... Well, the time has come apparently!
Then I tried out our own version. Sophie was definitely capable of picking up the "fish"using the fishing rod. However, I think she picked them up at random. If I were to ask her to pick up selectively (e.g. only the fish with "1"), I doubt she could do it. Nevertheless, we wanted to celebrate her success and not maul over what she cannot accomplish... yet.
Sophie, we (Papa and Mama) will always "sayang" you for who you are, regardless of what you do or do not... That's a promise promise...

  1. Ya agree, should celebrate the milestones our kids have achieved instead of those haven't. They will learn in time to come. We went through those learning phases too ...
