his art wall ;)

The little one has been taking art classes for sometime now and we decided to put up his works on a wall in the living room! It's a parent accompanied class so daddy normally goes with him while mummy waits for them and sometimes sips a nice coffee!
What is making this art class even more enjoyable is the accompany of his friends, faith, Kayla and Clare! And mummy has made some new friends too!
Hopefully when mummy pops, daddy will have this special one on one time with him ;)

The stupid silly haze

Haze = sensitive nose acting up again = daddy and mummy don't have to sleep well.

Its really terrible this haze thing and this time round, i must say that its really bad! Cos there are times when i can't even see the next block clearly. I sure hope that the skies clear up soon otherwise i will be in for endless rounds of blocked nose and mucus that irritates the hell out of the Little One.

So he skipped one day of school today... at least he gets to rest at home. The mummy and daddy has to pull themselves together and go to work, abit very sleepy and very grouchy.

Let's hope tonight will be better :)

Taking off t-shirt on his own

Had to blog this down before i forget - yesterday after dinner, we were watching tv together. It was yet another hot and sweltering day in Singapore.

Perhaps the t-shirt material wasn't that comfy or it was rough. But he kept tugging at his t-shirt and said "scratch mummy".. Think it was itchy. He pointed to the stack of t-shirt that Sari has nicely folded up and said "donkey" which is his way of saying i want the donkey t-shirt.

When we told him okie we will change him, he proceeded to tug at his t-shirt and you know what - he managed to take the t-shirt off himself! i was like wow.. okay, not the most incredible skill set but still, wow!

That's the woe of a working mummy i guess.. you might not be around to see all his firsts but when you do, you wonder if you should always be there for him :)

Stacking up books!

New game for the little one during bedtime. He goes over to his shelve and gets a few books and proceeds to stack them up and tells us "mummy.. Look.. See.. A house!". Didn't quite get it in the begining cos he only said make house..then it started to make more sense to me ;) at a point, he even added a roof to the structure! Must be something they are learning in school!
When I was putting him to bed tonight, he stretched out his hand against the wall and said " mummy trace" ;) awwww he wanted me to trace out his shadow. It occured to me just how small his hands still are.. Positively heart moment.

Horsie?

The little one started a new game tonight:

Little One: Daddy.. horsie.. horsie
Daddy: Okie, come up (and the little one climbs on daddy's back- which of course kills the man totally)

Little One: Okie..enough .. (he proceeds to climb down and stands in front of the daddy, who still has to act as a horse, and pretends to reach into his pocket and takes something out to feed the "horse")
Daddy: munch munch munch...
Little One: Okies, let's go.. horsie!
Daddy: (groans) okie.. (has to do this like five times before the little one lets the horse rest!)

Wondering who taught the little one to feed the horse? Was it something that they were pretending playing in school? :) yes, its rather cute and all - even if it kills daddy's back!

30 months

The little one turn 30 months old this week! Wow that's like 2.5 years gone past in a flash.. Just remembering the moments when he was still a little infant, all helpless and all and now, look at him! The funny obese baby has shed most of his baby fats, has learnt (rather annoyingly) to insist on wearing only his ultraman t-shirt, feed himself and do star jumps!! There are of cos sweet moments when he says he loves me and others when he stomps his feet and cries " I dun want".
As we get ready to welcome the second little Yong into the household , I wonder how u will react and if u will turn jealous and all. Mummy worries about spending less time with you and so am getting daddy to do more with u nowadays. There are times when I think u understand ;) and for those moments of patience, I love u more!
You come home and tell me about ur day in school now and u have a new friend called Shanice ;) you always say that Shanice is v guai and Justin is noti! Well, everyone esle in class is noti, with the exception of Shanice!
We haven't started potty training u yet, partially becos of mummy being too big now to start anything but also, you still dun tell us when u need too!! U still like running off to a corner and hiding till u are done! Is it a form of security for u?
Well, for now ;) at least till mummy pops we will not be revisiting that.
Happy 30 month old birthday! We love u!

Didn't go on our Sept break

Old photo taken in universal studio...

Sigh.. in the end, becos the Little One was so sick, we cancelled our trip to Adelaide. Didn't want to bring him when the weather was going to be so cold plus he was running a fever. Felt very bad cos i knew that the Big One was so excited about going and all and even had a few gigs lined up during our stay there.

Well, as the Big One would say, there is a sliver lining in most things - and true enough, The Little One was more sick that we initally thought. Nothing big, but the raging fever didn't go down despite meds and this was unusual for him. At first, it was thought to be a nasal infection, but when a ugly rash started appearing, the ped said, probably rosela. Then after the rashes came out, but the fever did not subside.. in fact went higher - he had the scarlet fever. Yikes!

So we did spend the whole whole whole week stuck at home. It was massive tv time for everyone and in midway, we even found the energy to do up a lantern for the Little One's class project.

that plus aunty sari was away....

Well, we surived! and he is all well and good now :) back to his usual active active self
