We have successfully weaned him for 1 week now :) there were some moments when he will point to the breast and still say "hot". I guess that's because of that one single sip that he tried when the breast was unfortunately coated with vingear! poor boy!
As he turns 2, i would say that his terrible twos and tantrums are making their appearance fast and furious. Yet those terrible moments will fade away when he smiles and hugs us all when he is all bright and cherry. And whenever i see him in a tantrum, i can just see the frustration that he has for being unable to express what he feels or wants. Those are the times when i hug him tightly and hope that the tantrum will melt away. Othertimes when i am too hot headed and i have to leave him in a safe concern to sort himself out for a while. I have been trying various combinations of time out in his notti corner and the "No" method but some works and some doesnt...
As he is 2, he is showing quite a lot of muscial talent :) be it songs and dancing or just tapping away to rhythm. Now he has mastered a few songs:
1. Twinkle twinkle little star
2. Happy Birthday
3. One little 2 little 2 little indian...
4. Old macdonald had a farm
5. Wheels on the bus
6. Rain rain go away
7. The theme song to chungington
8. The theme song to Cars (which is his all time favourite)
9. The theme song to Mickney Mouse playhouse
10. The theme song to Pocoyo
11. Emm.. some indian song that is on aunty sari's phone!
At age 2, he is also finally showing interest in puzzles! It started out with playing the Tozzle puzzle game on my iphone and then it has progressed to physical puzzles of home items and animals.. that keeps him occupied in the morning when aunty sari has to finish the housework.
The Little One now has a regular art time while he bathes cos he colours the walls with crayon! waterproof ones of cos:) sometimes we can see circles and lines and sometimes its just that doodle.. i hope to nurture more of such art work!
He is growing up fast and getting heavy to carry. Call it mummy's guilt but i love carry him!

Sneezing and a sleepless night..
After being well for a total of 3 weeks, the Little One had to get a block nose attack again. This is very frustrating!
It started out with a trip to ECP on Sunday and am not sure what he came into contact with but he started sneezing like nobody's business all morning and into the afternoon. I could tell that it was irritating him cos he kept rubbing his nose and sniffing. Well, that caused him to pretty much sleep super badly during his nap and the pattern repeated itself the whole of the night. We are pretty much super knackered. Someone.. bring me the coffee!
Luckily he was a sweetheart during the rest of the day and even sat through a dinner with us a Waraku :) He loves pasta so the trick is to set a plate in front of him and he will pretty much entertain himself with it. The only thing is that he still loves to use his hands to eat pasta..i gather that to him at least, it would be faster to use his hands compared to the fork. Well, not much complains since it keeps him occupied!
I hope that the visit to the doc will help resolve the problem and let us all get some sleep tonight.
PS: Weaning has continued for the rest of the week and i am so proud of him. I tried letting him lull himself to bed the whole of last week starting from tuesday and i am please to say that it has worked! Only that from last night, we had to resume the patting again just cos he was so cranky. I hope we can put back on track our good practise....soon.
