Xinru has got a new pet

On Monday night, after taking our dinner, Xinru dashed to the Fish Shop. She always love to go there to see the fishes... The other day i told hubby that maybe we shall buy fishes for her but hubby was quite reluctant.. hehe.... So last night, i told Xinru to pick what fish she wants and i will pay for it but end up, Hubby was the one who paid them... heheh


We bought a small fish tank, 2 small fishes, 1 bottle of liquid for removing the chlorine in the water and 1 water plant.. All these cost about $17.50.. We though there are still some leftover fish food at home so we did not buy any... But when we reached home, we realised we have none.. So tonight i am going to bring Xinru to buy one bottle of fish food... :)

While the lady was packing the stuff, Xinru was so excited and keep saying that 'Is Xinru one.... Its mine...' she kept repeating it and i told her 'Yes, it's Xinru one but we have to wait for the aunty to pack right...' then she keep quiet...


When we reached home, my mom open the door and she told my mom '阿嬷,我有两只leh' then my mom ask her '什么两只?' then she say '两只鱼'...

Before we reached home, i told her some of the 'Dos and Don't' for the fish... i told her that 1. Xinru cannot keep feeding the fish... Only can do it once in the morning before going to school and the other time is at night when we return home from school.. 2.Cannot beat the fish tank 3. Cannot keep bugging to make the fish... She of course sure say okok but yet to know how she really behave... I told her that if she fed the fish too much, the fish will die and she told me that 'later eat 饱饱then死掉then buy new one...' when i heard that, i told her 'no no... if the fish 死掉then cannot buy liao....' then she listen liao and keep quite... hehe....

~~Here's Xinru's fish tank~~

Last night when Xinru reach home, she went to the kitchen and call out for her fish... She calls her fishes 'Fishy'.... I asked Hubby to pour some of the fish food on a scoop and get Xinru to put it into the fish tank... She was so cute.. She asked me 'Mummy, the fish don't want to eat... Why??' then i was told her that 'The fish will slowly go and mum mum the food one....' Then later on she went to see them again and she tell me 'Mummy, no more food... fish want to mum mum leh...' Then i told her tat some of the fish food are at the bottom... when the fish wan to eat, they will go and find..' Then she insist on feeding the fish... Then i ask her 'Xinru, if mummy give u rice now, you want to eat?' *she just took her dinner and fruites* Then she shake her head and i tell her again 'Xinru 吃饱饱 liao mah.. so Xinru don't want to eat... same as the fish lor... just now Xinru feed them already right.. so they 吃饱饱liao and don;t want to eat already... if they eat too much, later vomit and die how?' And she tell me 'later eat bao bao then vomit....' after that, she did not ask to feed them again...



Footnote:

I realised that she need a lot of explanation and if the explanation given is something that she can accept, she will jolly well listen and be good.... :)

Since she has such a character, i as her mom have to tell and talk a lot to her to make her understand.... Well... what to do.. be a 'lo so' mummy lor... hehehe...

Don't see her as a 2 and 1/2 year old toddler... She has her own thinking and understanding which is far more than and 2 and 1/2 year old kid.... Sometimes i do feel stress-up talking to her cause she will always reply you with something that you don't expect.... :)
