Dearest Skyler,
After the party at Godma Audrey's, we went down to Takashimaya to buy a booster seat for you, Skyler! You are growing taller and the car seat is no longer tall enough for you - the seat belts actually have to curl upwards over your shoulders which may not be the safest thing. Thus we decided to get you a booster seat and maybe you should start using the car seat belt.
We were a bit worried about the safety issue still as though you may be too tall for a car seat, you're still a bit too short to use the car seat belt comfortably. Thus, we wanted to get a full back one but the seat back would not last long as you would outgrow it quite quickly so we did not think it was cost effective to get it. In the end, we got you a Ferrari booster seat. It is red in colour which was what you wanted and the colour matches the car seat that you are currently using.
We probably will not have you using the seat until you really outgrow your current seat, Skyler. It is safer for you to use the current seat until you really cannot fit in it any longer.
We love you lots, Darling.

Birthday Celebration Part 2
Dearest Skyler,
We went to Godma Audrey's place today where we met up with Mama's friends to celebrate Christmas and we took the opportunity to celebrate your birthday once more, Skyler. We had lots of sweet foodstuff and another cake to celebrate your birthday again, Skyler.
You both had lots of fun playing with all the other children and the amazing thing is that all of them are girls too! There were eight children there and all of you are girls! The other funny thing is that you are all going to be schoolmates as Mama's friends are all her former schoolmates and all of them will be sending their daughters to their former school like what we intend to do with you and Mei-mei!

Skyler's 4th Birthday
Dearest Princesses,
We had a birthday party for you today and invited Renee & Ivy to attend, Skyler.
Their mothers had come along and stayed throughout. You and Ashley, shared all your toys with them. The problem was that they did not really play with you both. It was quite sad for us as you were trying so hard to play with them but they kept on ignoring you. Sigh ... What kind of friends are these - too young? Maybe they just simply have not learnt the appropriate etiquette but it was sad that their mothers did not seem to notice and educate them. Oh well ... It was nice that the two of you played with each other though.
Grandma came a bit later and we had cake. We are glad that you had a birthday party and you seemed to be okay with it. We are glad that you had friends to celebrate it with.
We love you both so much!

Christmas
Dearest Princesses,
Today is Christmas Day. We went for church service with Grandma. After that, we went for lunch.
Bubu & Moh-moh came later in the day to celebrate the day with us and they gave you both your presents.
We asked Grandma to stay another night as we were afraid of a recurrence of her memory loss and we did not want her to be alone if it happened.
Christmas is a wonderful day for us to remember Christ's arrival on this earth, Darlings. Regardless of what happens as you girls grow older, you must always remember that we spend Christmas with family.
We love you both!

Christmas Eve Party
Dearest Princesses,
We went to Uncle Joo Shan's place for a Christmas gathering with our church group. We had invited Grandma along. Almost everyone in the group was there and therefore, there were lots of other children you could play with.
Skyler, you and Mama played the violin together as part of the evening's activities - almost all the young children played some musical instrument. It was very fun watching you all perform. Well done, all of you!
At the end of the evening, we headed home and suffered a scary episode when Grandma lost her memory. She kept on forgetting the events that had just taken place that day though she remembered everything else i.e. she remembered who we were, etc but she simply could not recall the day's happenings.
Papa in desperation called Mako in Canada and Pek-Pek in Cambodia. Mako said that there was nothing to worry about as this was something that had been happening with her friends - they would suffer a temporary memory loss but would regain their memories in a short time. However, they would have forgotten everything that took place during the memory loss.
It was an effort to get Pek-Pek but we finally got him and managed to have Grandma Skype with him and Che-che Reika. Grandma eventually regained her memory as she spoke with them and everything that had taken place in the last few hours were as if they never transpired! We decided to not ask her about it as we were fearful of triggering it again and we soon all went to bed.
What a day!
We love you both very very much!

Our Anniversary
Dearest Princesses,
Ashley, you slept through most of the night which was amazing. This gave us the opportunity to sleep for a longer period of time!
We woke up for a buffet breakfast fairly early in the morning. Papa did not really get to enjoy much of it as Papa had a tummy-ache but still we ate quite a bit - after yesterday's hi-tea buffet no less.
After breakfast, we went back to the room to nap. As there was time, we went to the swimming pool after the nap and then bathtubbed again after that. You so enjoy playing with the water in the pool, Skyler. Now, we just need you to want to learn to swim. We are still wondering when to bring you for proper lessons, Darling.
We then packed and checked out.
What a wonderful weekend. You girls are of a good age to enjoy the stay now. Thank you for sharing our anniversary with us. You girls are such important parts of our lives.
We love you both so much!

Hotel Stay
Dearest Princesses,
We checked in to a hotel for an overnite stay. The bed was huge and the linen soft and it was all so comfortable. After checking in, we went for a buffet lunch at the hotel restaurant. As usual, we ate our fill as we quite like the spread that they provide.
Later in the evening, Bubu & Moh-Moh came to visit for a short while.
After they left, we bathtubbed for a while together. Later in the night, we slept very well - even you did not really wake up in the middle of the night, Ashley.
