A couple of weeks ago, L's school held a Book Character Day. The children were encouraged to go to school in their most favorite book character, and to bring along that story book. It was a happy news for me as that meant more DIY costume-making! Being a typical boy who is especially fond of heroes, L wanted to go as Percy Jackson,...
This was L's Chinese homework from his enrichment class. Did you manage to spot his mistakes? Like many typical Singaporean kids, L does not have enough exposure to the Chinese language as we seldom speak the language. This is probably one main reason why the Chinese enrichment centres are booming in their business here. It doesn't help that we also read more English books than...
Me: Whenever I feel sad or angry, I become happy when I look at your smiley face. L: Mama, when I make you angry, I smile at you okay? This is L. My number 2, who just turned 3 years in Sept. He is usually so sweet. Since he was about a year old, he would say "I love you, mommy" and shower...
The hand towel in my kitchen is placed next to the sink. I carried L up to wipe his hands towel and he said "Mommy, don't drop me in the dustbin okay?" (coz the dustbin is just below his legs). Whenever we play card games like Sleeping Queens, L would forget that it's his turn and we have to remind him. His reply...
Another action by L which caught me by surprise. I didn't realise that he can actually sign his name! He knew how to spell his name since a few months ago, and on Sunday, he looked at me, and signed his name, then pointed to himself and said "two years old!" Yes... the little boy is coming two years old :) ...
L has always been an observant boy since he was an infant. I took the opportunity to sign the letters when I sing the alphabet song to him (I learnt basic sign language a couple of years ago). His dexterity is quite developed, so he's now signing too! But for some of the more difficult signs, he'll say "I don't know". I find...
Bought this set of plastic toys to cheer the kids up while they recuperated from their flu and fever. Also, I liked the bright colours and how they can learn to "pot a flower". Ch potted a yellow flower, and L had a pink flower. After "watering" the flowers, Ch asked me what type of flower she had. We had a little discussion...
This is L, at 1y9mo. Cheeky. Mischievous. Loving. Helpful. He loves imitating his sister, in words and actions. When Ch puts on her bracelets, he does it. When Ch brings her doll out, he wants his teddy too. When Ch carries a backpack, he follows. He loves his sis, but also irritates her. He'll keep her shoes for her, and will bother to...
(Drew this on L's face during my god-son, J's birthday celebration. He looked so comical that many of my friends took a photo of him too. But oops, he rubbed his face on the sofa, and stained it with the face paint. Sorry gan ma!) Was reading my past blogs dated 2 years ago... how time flies. As I was reading, I realise...
My dear girl. Finally got a chance to see her in her cute kindy uniform on a school day. Usually, I'll leave for work shortly after she wakes to brush her teeth. Today, I only needed to start work at 9am as my school is rehearsing for our school musical production, Wizard of Oz. So, I took the chance to bring her down...
Reading my friend J's blog abt her daughter, I was motivated to do one for L too. Based on the website http://www.thenewparentsguide.com/baby-development-month-10to12.htm, Most babies should be able to . . . Say mama and dada to the right parents Hmm.... L seems to be saying da da to ZY, and "mum mum" when he sees me. But I'm highly doubtful coz when he sees...
MOV00854.3GP ZY, Ch and I have always loved staying in hotels. And to my surprise, even L loves it! We were at the Amara Sanctuary Resort at Sentosa during the Mar hols for a 2D1N stay. L and Ch were beaming with happiness the moment we went into the room. See the video :) When L's happy, he does the bouncing action on...

Finally have some time to update my blog. It has been a hectic and stressful month, but fortunately, life seems to be more peaceful now. Perhaps coz we are more aware of L's needs and wants, and have more or less a system of handling both kids. Here are some pictures to share, especially with those who have not seen the new kid...
Some updates abt L: His jaundice level went up. It was at 166 on Sat, when L was 3 days old. Over the few days, his body became more yellow, and he was sleepier. We decided to bring him to the polyclinic for a review yesterday though his scheduled appointment is supposed to be today (thank God we made that decision, if not...
