Carrots are crunchy?

Carrots are one of Claire-claire's favourite vegetables. They have a nice colour and are sweet. My papa even says they help keep Claire-claire's eyes bright.

My mama usually cook them until they're soft, so that it's easy for Claire-claire to eat them. Today, Claire-claire found out that carrots can be crunchy too!

Uncle Yoshi's gift

Claire-claire tried on a new dress today. My mama says it is a gift from Uncle Yoshi when Claire-claire was a baby. Uncle Yoshi told my papa that in Japan, girls wear them when they turned one.

See! Isn't this pretty? Claire-claire likes the cute rabbits on it.

Thank you, Uncle Yoshi!

Roseola

My papa and mama have been worried about Claire-claire the whole week. First, Claire-claire came down with a high fever. My papa says it hit 40 degrees Celsius one morning. When the fever finally subsided, a strange rash appeared all over Claire-claire's body. Luckily, Doctor Vanessa confirmed that it is not measles, but Roseola or "fake measles".Even though Claire-claire is not contagious anymore, my mama insists Claire-claire stays at home. My papa says it's so as not to scare others.

But Claire-claire is still having lots of fun!

Brush your teeth please

Claire-claire has a book called "Brush your teeth please". In this book, all the animals brush their teeth, even the fierce-looking lion! Claire-claire wants to have clean teeth like Mr Lion, so I brush my eight little pearlies with my pink toothbrush.

Noisy Clownmobile

Saturday mornings are my favourites. Claire-claire will be home with my papa and mama.

Claire-claire normally goes around the house, checking the cupboards, drawers and boxes to make sure that all the things are in their right places. Most times, Claire-claire does my rounds on foot. But today, Claire-claire did them in my noisy clownmobile!

Of course, Claire-claire has help from my mama.

The Elusive Dimple

My papa is sure Claire-claire has a dimple, somewhere. Today, Claire-claire decided to show it to him.
See, here it is, papa!

Hari Raya Outing

Claire-claire loves big buses. Yesterday, Claire-claire gets to dress up and sit on one. My mama says it's the best way to get around as taxis will be scarce on Hari Raya Day.

As a bonus, Claire-claire gets to sit on the train as well!

Look-a-like Meter

Everyone tells Claire-Claire that I look like my mama, even this supposed scientific tool.

Chocolate Surprise

Last week, Claire-claire saw some chocolates left on my Yee-yee's table. So when she was not looking, Claire-claire grabbed as many as I could and squeezed as many as my tiny mouth can hold. Emmm! Claire-claire has never tried them before but chocolates are yummy! No wonder my Yee-yee doesn't want to share them with me.

Very quickly and quietly, Claire-claire hid in a corner to eat them. Unfortunately, my Ah-ma came to check on Claire-claire! Arrgh!!! Ah-ma saw my chocolated-laced mouth and those in my hands. In a flash, my Yee-yee and Ah-ma took the two in my hands. And dug four out from my mouth! Never mind that, Claire-claire still have one hidden deep inside. Let's run away with it!

Oh no! Here comes my Ah-ma! Hmm..how did she know I have one more? Claire-claire struggled to keep my mouth shut, but in vain. Now, Claire-claire has none...

(Note from Claire-claire's papa: There are no photos because all hands are needed on deck. You probably can imagine all this happened in a flash.)

But Claire-claire has a photo! Everybody! Please help Claire-claire keep a lookout for this next time!

Mag-Mag 2.0

Claire-claire loves my orange Mag-Mag. Firstly, it looks cute. And my mama says it keeps me hydrated. Last week, my Mag-Mag got an "upgrade". Mama, now that Claire-claire has learnt how to use a straw, maybe there'll be less spills and wet necks with this one!
