Breathing time

Jesslyn can read Peter and Jane book 3. Not sure if she can read book 4 tho.
She is quite unreasonable sometimes. If she has taken a sweet and i suggest to give 1 to jerilyn, she would say No. Don't finish it and give her reasons so that I don't give any to Jerilyn.
She is reading Peter and Jane now.  The sentence goes like this:
Peter is here.
Peter is here and Jane is here.
She asked "why is there no AND here?" pointing to the between the lines. In short, she is quite inquisitive too. Just like always, she reads, writes and colours faster than Jerilyn. I have photos of their colouring quality but... hmm.. when can I upload.
Things have been working like robots nowadays. Since I have started my Master education, all I think of is assignment, assignment and assignment. Luckily, datelines for 2 of the 3 assignments have been  postponed by 2-3 weeks. Only now, I can breathe and do my assignment with more gusto. Previously, it was all about meeting the dateline.
One day, Jerilyn came home from school and announced "Mummy, I plan to buy Lamborghini." I thought only my teenage students would have such dreams. Jerilyn explained that her friend, Ryan has one green Lamborghini. So, she wants one. I asked her, how big is it? "It's this big." putting up both her arms at half a foot's length.
Oh! Did I tell you about Jerilyn's jealousy? No. She is not jealous at home but away from home. While we were dining at a fancy restaurant, as usual, the waiters would play and touch Jesslyn's cheeks.... I think I have done this.
Let's go to the next. We were at a bridal shop to enquire about family portrait packages. The salesgirl was playing with Jesslyn and even had her on her lap, tickling her and made Jesslyn laughed. At first, Jerilyn only watched. Later she didn't look very happy and we all noticed that. The 2 salesgirls were discussing about it. 1 of them said "You have neglected the elder one. Look at her. She is not happy." (in Cantonese). The more they talked, the more Jerilyn was unhappy and finally, she broke down and cried. Daddy didn't even know what was going on. I don't understand why is she so 'touchy' as she doesn't portray such behaviour at home. She has never been jealous of Jesslyn at home. I carried her out of the studio and asked her what happened. Her reply was "I don't want to talk about it."
