The adults call Sunday... the day when the Little One shows his power. Yes, he is often out in full force on Sundays.. be it playing, running, whining, crying, refusing to drink his milk or take his nap. We have since, come to terms with it.
But it is also every sunday, when me and the Big One get to spend one on one time with the Little One that he shows us how much he has grown and all the wonderful skills and words he has been learning. For the Sunday that just passed, i got happily suprised when he said "flow-er"! For the Little One, the word flower has been for the longest time, just "flow", just the first part of the word. But now, i realised that this little one is now capable to pronoucing the whole word!
And the 2nd surprise of the day was when he showed me he can now climb up and down a flight of stairs totally on his own! :) i had a super proud grin on my face.. my baby is growing up.
I love Sundays, despite all the anguish at times. It is the day when the Little One knows that he gets the undivided attention of us and us knowing that it is our special day as a family.

Oooops! The HFMD strikes
Sigh.. the Little One caught the HFMD... really poor thing cos we could see that he was in pain cos his tongue was covered with uclers, so couldn't really suck on milk.
It started with a higher than usual temperature on Friday morning. The school said that he was a little warm but after giving him some water, his temperature came down and it stayed down for the rest of the day.
On Saturday morning, his temp hovered around 37.3 - 37.5 degrees.. he was warmish but not really having a fever. No other signs so i concluded, maybe teething fever.
On Sunday, wow.. that's went the spots started to appear. In the morning, i brought him to the gp to check on one bigger spot and the doctor checked his mouth.. no uclers.. but wanted us to monitor him for more spots. Sure enough, the red spots started appearing at the end of the day.
So i arranged for FIL to bring him to the pd for a check on monday morning... sigh, one look and doc confirmed that it was HFMD. called school and told him,and the Little One will be on MC for 1 week.
Now, with the meds, he is feeling much better... still no fever and i sure hope it continues this way. Hope he gets well soon.

Bonding with papa
Noticed that this week, the Little One has been so eager to play with The Big One :)and that makes my heart skip a beat.. its just awww.. so touching.
Last night, when i was putting the Little One to bed, he must had heard the keys opening the front gate, he sat up from his lying down position and called "papa.. papa..". Usually i would keep him back in bed and not let him out of the room, but it was still relatively early and he hasn't seen his daddy before he gone to bed for 3 days (cos the Big One has been busy at work), so i tot, heck why not.
I lead him outside and the Little One flew into the daddy's arms, calling "papa.. papa". So sweet! And while the Big One was having his dinner, the Little One climbed onto the kitchen stool and joined his daddy for dinner, talking his usual gibberish while The Big One told him about his day at work. Me and Aunty Sari were grinning with pride!! Our little baby has certainly grown up.
And today, he even had quite a long telephone conversation with the Big One in the afternoon... not sure what he said, but he was definately listening very carefully to what his daddy had to tell him cos he had the serious look on his face.
:) I hope to see more moments like that!

In the New Year :)
Mummy has been busy and stuff has been happening on the home front that kept me sort of distracted.
This new year, we have lots of stuff happening in the Yong household:
1. The Little One is turning two!
2. To celebrate point 1, we are going to Bali for vacation in end march :) yippy..
3. Aunty Sari would have worked for us for 2 years now.. double yippy.. she is going on home leave.. not so yippy for mummy
4. Before we all embark on our vacations, us and aunty sari, we are renovating our house!
5. That happens after CNY... yippy grins :).. have to start packing the house immedidately after CNy.. not so yippy
6. How we got into this type of calendar, mummy cannot remember the reasoning
7. So by the time we finish the reno, and go on our vacation, it would be just in time for the Little One's 2nd birthday.. and his birthday pressie.. His Own Room! triple yippy for all of us
hhaha.. that's why the rush and the mad planning that has been keeping me doubly occupied.
So with the new home and all, perhaps i should have a birthday party for him..hmmmm dangerous tots..
:)An update on his school-he no longer crying and is doing well!
Here's him and me.. (okie not a very nice shot of both of us) one of the mornings when he was preparing to get to school..
