Clarisse knows her preferrence

Chloe loves Mama to accompany her to sleep, so most of the time, Mama would spend the night with Chloe while Kakak would make sure Darling Clarisse is asleep first before she goes off. However, once in a while, Clarisse might be awaken by the TALKATIVE Chloe. Just for the past one week, Papa was the one who took charge of Baby Clarisse in the living room while Mama is accompanying Chloe in the bedroom. ** Can't put them together, otherwise it will take forever for them to fall asleep. **

Papa was given the GOLDEN Opportunity to spend time with Baby Clarisse for a few nights consecutively, and naturally the father and daughter's bond developed. Hehe...( * Good for you, Papa! *)

Papa's few nights of effort has been very fruitful. Last night, when Papa was home from work. Papa clapped his hands twice and extended his hands to Clarisse with two palms facing up (This is our Standard gesture before we carry our babies - let's call it a "pow pow" clap). Noone expected any response from a 7 months old Clarisse, and she surprised us by extended her both arms to Papa and her body leaned towards Papa (It means she wants Papa to hold her :P ). This was the first time we saw her responding to a "pow pow" clap. 

We were all delighted and Mama immediately put Baby Clarisse back to the couch and did the same "pow pow" clap, but she didn't leaned towards me nor extend her arms to Mama. Sob sob sob...  

"You were just lucky," Mama said to Papa.

Papa tried the "pow pow" clap again and Baby Clarisse extended her arms and leaned towards Papa again. Argghhh....

Round One
