Happy Children Day

:)Its the Little One's 2nd Children Day and i decided to take child care leave to have a fun day with him.

First stop, to the doc review where he was given the all clear.. the bad weather lately, with the bad haze and erratic rains caused his sensitive nose to act up. Luckily his blocked nose didn't get worse. Was reminded that he was overdue for his MMR jab but discussed with the doc and decided that we will get that done in about 2 weeks time, once he is all well again.

Then it was off to Aunty Susan's house again! Ginger, her dog wasn't at home cos he was off for a grooming session but the Little One still had loads of fun climbing up and down the steps and of cos, peering into the dog house to look for the dog! think he was a bit dissapointed that there was no dog this time around. He had some fun with the fountain and even went to Aunty Dorren's place for a short kids party.

Noticed that The Little One is quite comfortable at Aunty Susan's place, no doubt cos he is quite a regular there :)and am happy that he did not show any fear. Hopefully he will continue this when he starts school next year.

With his aunty..

Recently the Little One came down with another episode of blocked nose. And it had to happen last Friday when i was super busy with the F1 event. Had to choice but to make an emergency call for help to my mother to bring him to the doctor while i was at work. Had a important meeting that i couldn't reschedule. So the Little One's grandma came down that Friday plus over the weekend cos i was away at work for quite a bit, more to help entertain a grouchy toddler so that Sari could get some work done.

My sister had to get roped into the action too :) After the weekend with my mum and my sister, i must say that the Little One's collection of lanterns grew by erhmm.. quite a bit. Must find a chance to post a picture of his Doreamon one which emits bubbles! Quite cute but sigh, makes a mess of the floor at home.

Sister took a picture of the Little One - realised that he looks so grown up in this shot!

Trying to look cute in his silly face action again!

He has since recovered from his blocked nose episode - after some awful lot of mucus that we had to suck out of his nose and some sleepless nights. Last night, Sari told me that he has mastered the art of climbing onto the kitchen chair, with the aid of the table, stand on the chair and help himself to a chicken wing! And tonight, he repeated the act to reach for some vegs. What a monkey!

The Big one is away

In reservist.. again. But this time The Big One made us super proud when he got Gold for his IPPT :) yippy!!

So in this 3 weeks, i have to entertain the Little One at nights, with the help of Sari of cos :) So far he has been good.. woke me up at midnight last night to talk to me...after some "conversation" i was really all zoned out. Had to get Sari's help to put him back to bed. Am still recovering from my F1 weekend of work.

More updates on this again.. tonight am going to crawl into bed early.

New word this week

Noticed that the Little One started saying another new word "door".. or rather "dorrrr"

Tonight as i was putting him to bed and he was doing his usual going around the room to "check"(as in he would touch the cupboard "check", touch the door "check", touch the bed "check") he was saying "dorrr" when he was banging on the door.

The Little One was amused by the noise that he made when he was banging on the door and kept doing that a few times.. then he decided to bang on the wall, and eh, there was no sound. But he still said "dorr" :) guess it will take him some time to learn the word "wall".

Videos from the Long Weekend

At Chinese Garden and at Pasta Waraku at Changi Airport T2 :) Must listen hard to the background music in the 2nd video.. its very "retro".. we had to endure back to back songs from Michael Learns to Rock.

Chinese Garden

Ok, so the Little One is a Chinese Ah Pek wannabe... :)

For the Hari Raya long weekend, sari had planned a picnic with her friends at Chinese Garden. Yes, the Chinese Garden that is err. so super far away from bedok. Asked her why not have the picnic at East Coast.. she said Chinese Garden is cleaner. Well, i guess there must be a reason.

So, we decided that we will join in the fesitivies and bring the Little One along, to the Garden :) its the Big One's 2nd time there, in his whole life since he was like 6, and for me, i think the last time i went there must have been in primary school. Can't remember much about it, except some photos taken during my last trip.

Took some pictures and a video of the Little One running around.. he had lots of fun with us plus like a whole kampong of helpers which turned up for the picnic. Had so much fun that he KO-ed in the car on the way home and continued his nap for another 2 hours. :) grins.. happy mummy.

Verdict - Its clean but still very ulu!

Will post the pictures and video soon.

About rides

Nowadays, he loves rides, especially those that come in a shape of a car. he goes "car car car" and wants to climb up all by himself!

Here's one showing the Little One on a plane ride at Funan.. had to keep him entertain while the Big One was shopping at DVDs. Thankfully, he doesn't need for the ride to actually move.. just having the steering wheel and being able to turn it round and round, satisfies him for now! Otherwise mummy will start going broke.
