Big j had a Funny conversation by pretending to call his grandma using the handsfree kit. He said he was driving and getting directions to drive home.

That was the question that big j asked me tonight. Really didn't know what to say! Told him he is a boy and not a princess.. Then the conversation went on :
Big j: tell me what is my name, what are the letters?
Me: you know how to spell you name right? You spell..
Big j: justin! Ok now mummy, what is my princess name?
Me: u are not a princess.. U are a prince!
Big j : say with me mummy, look at my mouth... Yang Cheng xun!
Me: that's ur Chinese name.. Not ur prince name!
So much after saying that berries is helping! ;(
Taken at bedtime today, reading a book with his daddy ;)

Small j with daddy and mummy!
We had a sunday morning with small j ;) big j got a fun filled day prepared by his grandparents. So off we went for a nice big breakkie at coffee club.. Just the 3 of us!
Now that big j is older and a lot more independent, his grandparents can really bring him out for half a day and he will be ok ... Just need to "return" him in time for his nap. So we do enjoy a good half of the day just with little j.. We think he enjoys it a lot too!
Picture of big j in the morning before he got picked up...Spidey balloon courtesy of my mum last night.
After the breakfast, we headed to our usual weekend haunt of parkway. Took the following pics after feeding the boy ;)
Think he got rather excited to see a friend in the mirror! Although this little j doesn't smile as much as his brother, the moments that he does can be so sweet!
Soon it was time to ahead home... Both boys taking their naps now. V blissful!

Big j started his first Chinese enrichment last week at Berries! Located at kembangan cc, the location is a big big plus point. Only draw back is that the timing isn't the most ideal at 3.45pm. Means that daddy has to bring him back earlier after sushi tei lunch, which happens ever week, after art class.
He gets a shorter nap and we have to bundle him out by 3.30pm! After dropping him off - cos that space has no parking, we head off to the supermarket at signal ;) it has turned out to be our mini couple time together... Short one till it's time to head off to pick him up again.
This month's lesson is focusing on household items - he learnt sha fa (sofa), deng (lamp), chuang (bed) and zhen tou (pillow) ;) not bad!! For last week's lesson they even made a mini-bed craft and the kids were told to practice making their beds when they got home.
Does he like it? ;) I think he does! It does help that his teacher is v v pretty!! The 1.5 hours of pure chinese each week is helping him speak in full mandarin sentences- he amazed me with that. Keep it up big J!!

Status Updates
Sounding too technical?? Just that it really has been too long since i regularly post. Perhaps its not enough time? or just no energy? really admire mummies who can religiously put up posts everyday. Maybe i should take the effort to do this - meaning blog, everyday!
First, updates on the big J- he has finally managed to learn how to blow his nose at a grand age of 3.5 years. I have never been so excited to see snot. It was amazing! Hoping that this will help alleviate his nasal congestion, which to those who know us, has been a big problem for him.
So far, he has seen dr Leong of ascent ent who has recommended taking out his tonsils and adenoids so as to improve his passage way and try to recorrect his mouth breathing and lower jaw malacussion. Dr lim, his regular ped, suggested that we also see dr Ann Koh who is the head of the allergies unit in Kkh, to do a sleep study and see if operation is warranted. His study has been scheduled to be on 19th jan and I hope all will be smooth.
For now, it's the sterimar 3 times a day and blowing of nose. Hope it helps ;) it's crazy I know- even dr Ann koh was remarking that I sounded like a medical professional during the consult cos I could use all the technical terms. Things I learn becos of my son!
For small j - who I affectionately call, "ah j j", has been down with a cold and cough. Keeping us up all night with his insistence of moving round the bed. he is a feisty one and will put up a struggle in a fight with gor gor. Good weight of 11.4kg and 6 teeth at 9 months ;) but far far more active than Justin - very good crawler and already cruising with support. Favorite song is twinkle twinkle and loves mickey mouse! Whereas Justin is quite an easy going kid, Jason is more stubborn.. Omg!
We try to spend the weekends with them ;) Sundays are still most crazy cos sari is off. Now big j has 2 enrichment classes on sat- art and Chinese, so sat are dedicated to that. Evenings are usually out for dinner or just bringing big j out somewhere( often the airport!). Sundays used to be for big j eq class at hougang that we had to discontinue cos of sheer distance. So now, we are in search for another breakkie hangout on Sundays.
We dun have the luxury of bringing small j home for his naps but luckily he does sleep outside- still needs to be carried but better than nothing!
Two boys and me 2 Saturdays ago ;) teaching them to love one another as brothers each day seems to be the mantra!

How has the j&js been?
That's what I call them collectively..j&j. They have been good to me- big j is getting more and more independent and able to do more things on his own. Small j is his cute adorable self, teething his upper front teeth( he already has his lower ones at 5.5 months) which causes me duress at nights but hey, it happens.
Work is driving me ding dong bell! And I am really trying to re learn the concept of time management! It's a mad mad rush from home to work and vice versa and thank goodness the commute isn't that bad. I always say now I have 2 full time jobs, one at work and the other that starts at 7pm. I thank god everyday for blessed Aunty sari, without her, I am so lost.
Some things get done, somethings just don't. But the j&js are happy ;) so, we are too!

Back to work
Yes! It has been a good 5.5 months since I left the office and so on 1st June, I headed back to corporate land. Missing the kids was an understatement but on the other hand,it felt good to be back at work too. I guess the time away made me appreciate the kids even more, especially the baby!
Just the week before I head back to work, sari went back for her 1 week vacation ad so me, was the official maid! Again, I don't know how she can look after the baby and still tackle all the household chores . Waising took leave the first three days and my mum the last 2 to help out and even with help, I could barely get anything done! Except cook for Justin. Blah, I make a super bad maid!
But on the more positive note, I got to bond with the baby cos I had to breastfeeding him - refuse to be bottle fed, and the experience was great! We even went to watch Kung Fu panda, with the big one really engrossed and the baby stuck to my boob! I now know what pple mean by " what ever works"!
These moments make me appreciate my family and all the ups and downs that come with it. No arrangement is perfect ;) but so long as the kids are happy and contended and we have enough, we are happy ;)
