Over at The Gingerbread Mum, Adora is embarking on a project about putting effort into making our kids SMILE through little things everyday. I think it is meaningful. I used to take photo of Jiejie everyday! not only smiley, teary too. In particularly, fond of the moment when her eyes twinkle or having lots of thing to tell me but couldn't. But it was then, where there was just one child and I was not working. The effort was sort of diluted, after Little Bomber join us as family of four.
Things are always different when #2. Especially she is quite high in spirit. Then, the elder child forming her own mind, her own voice, it takes me more energy and patince to mother them as days passing us by.
Having said that, I do have a good number of smiley shots of my girls. Flipping through the photo album, it instinctively cheer me up from a daunt day.

A delightful smile from her, simply because she get to be out and about. |
Back in March 2007, playground or outdoor park were mandatory for the little Jiejie. She was a playful toddler. Asthmatic, but still playful. Usually heading out in the evening would sure do us good, especially when we had a tension day.
It was a breezing evening stroll at The Bottle Tree Park, while waiting for daddy to arrive at the bus stop nearby and headed home together. It was one of the good old days for just the three of us.
Four years elapsed, outdoor strolling was still the best way for us to enjoy family moment. This time round, Little Bomber was just turn One. We were in Water Promenade of Marina Bay Sand. Must be the big sister being goofy in front of her and she giggled, affectionately.
I recalled it was a another breezing family outing, watching Little Bomber wobbly, attempted to walk without support and Jiejie demonstrated few martial stances.

I have two. And this is a good reminder that I need to continue in capturing those enchanting smiles.
