Cats

Dear Sarah,

At 1.5 years old, you can already identify most of the animals together with their sounds. Not only that, you love them lots too. All of them. In fact these days, you refuse to wear a shirt unless it  has at least one animal picture or character on it. Of course your all time favourite is the penguin or "Awin" in your language and angry birds or "Aber tek" as you call it.

Today's story is however related to a specific cat only. A few months back, your Aki and Wan went to Miri via Kuching. So, during their transit in Kuching, they bought u a soft toy, in a form of cat. When you first saw it, you actually thought it was a real cat. You meow-ed at it many times and refuse to go near it but every excited nonetheless. After a while you realised that it was not a real cat and you lost interest.

However, of late, you fell in love with it and took it everywhere. You try to feed susu to the cat and always hugging and stroking it. You even take it with you to the nursery. But, the ultimate love you shown the cat was yesterday, when you showered it! Hahaha.

You've been avoiding shower time for many days now. Mommy was pleasantly surprised when you requested to shower when we got home. So we took off your clothes and diaper and was about to shower you when suddenly you said, "Wait, wait,wait" and went looking for the cat. "Cat, where are you?", Mommy heard you from the shower. A minute later you came back with the cat

Mommy : Sarah, what is the cat doing here? Put it away, it is shower time!
Sarah     : No want No Want No want. Cat shower time (pointing at the cat). 

Hahaha at this point mommy dah start gelak.

Mommy: Papa, help! Sarah wants to shower the cat. How?
Papa     : Bagi la. Janji dia shower.

Papa masa ni dah join gelak. Sarah marah because Mommy told papa and wont let you shower the cat. You tried to close the door on Mommy and refuse to shower until Mommy go away. Amboi!! But never mind, Mommy pegi jauh sikit.

So, papa switched on the shower and the first thing you did was to shove the cat's head under the running water..hahaha and when papa shampooed your hair, you took some and shampooed the cat.. Auww. And afterwards, when Mommy tried to dry you after the shower, you asked for the cat to be toweled as well. So last night, after dressing you, Mommy had an additional task,..... to blow dry the cat! Hahaha

Cat lepas shower.. Meow

Sorry sayang if Mommy offended you by laughing last night. You sure have a way to make mommy laugh. But, know that deep down Mommy is so proud of you for being so loving and responsible at such a young age.
