We had two families from church over for dinner today. We wanted to awe them with Singaporean food, or as close as I can manage with what I can get here, so we had chicken rice, Emperor chicken and sambal belachan prawns. They said they liked it!
Six adults, one teenager, and six kids under the age of five. It was managed chaos.
J had a great time as usual. He's so very sociable, and he and two other boys his age were just going wild with the cars and trains and dinosaurs. Super polite too today. Said, "Thank you for coming" as our guests were leaving.
We saw a bit more of E's personality today. Very fierce and possessive. There's a little girl, just a few months younger than E, and she picked up E's little doll that Grandma had bought. E immediately comes over and insists on having it back. She points accusingly at the little girl and whines, "Bay-beee. Bay-beee." And E wags her finger to say 'no' at the little girl, telling her not to take the doll away. Aiyoh, it's a bit distressing to see how much she has to learn in sharing, but at the same time, it was so funny to see her behaving like this. Then a while later, when E saw the little girl playing with something else, she remembers her doll, and demands the 'Bay-beee. Bay-beee' again. Even though at that point no one was playing with the doll, it was lying on the floor beside me.
