Hannah with the E-M5 – Part 3

Couple of developments over the last fortnight. We found that Hannah was in the (bad!) habit of saying “What???” whenever we called out for her. Not sure where she picked that up from! We took to gently correcting her to reply more politely when someone calls her, and within 2 days, she was able to say “Yes, Mommy/Daddy”?” instead of a “What?”.

A harder habit to correct though is her inclination to go all emotional and near tears and look pitiful whenever she doesn’t get her way or we don’t respond to her instantly when she calls for us. Whether it’s wanting to go to the toilet, wanting to take certain toys with her etc. Each time, we get her to stop crying first, and only then allow her to express her request. Not quite an easy behavior to correct, though we still manage to get her to stop crying each time first before telling us what she needs from us.

A couple of pictures from the weekend. =)

At 3 years 1 month, she can climb up the playground ladder @ Punggol Park on her own now, though Mommy is still ready to catch her if she missteps.
