So I had to be in Singapore for just two days this week. Hot Mummee and the two kids sent me to KL Sentral to catch the express train. It was just going to be a quick drive-by drop-off. I gave HM a hug and kiss, hopped out the car while Caitlin climbed infront to [...]

Shielding the world’s ugly truths

August 22nd, 2010 · 2 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Caitlin the heiress

So on our way home I swung by to pick up some fresh milk at a small mini-mart. Upon reaching the check-out my two little monkeys wandered over to the magazine stand and started rambling about some kids-show publication. I spotted the latest issue of Time, and tried discretely to hide it behind some other [...]

The shopping list

Reminiscing

Learning to share

July 12th, 2010 · No Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Caleb the heir, Parenting rules, life skills, siblings

iPhones can have games. Daddee has 2 kids. The 2 kids are of the ages now where they start to share almost similar levels of gameplay. They also don’t quite yet know how to share between themselves. And Daddee has an iPhone. You know the rest of the story. So tonight Caitlin had a “brilliant” [...]

Tilt to steer?

July 4th, 2010 · 2 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Caleb the heir, Ergonomics, Photo opp

I wrote about kids and iDevices recently about how adaptive they are with technology. I had just hooked up the PS2 this morning, after promising Caitlin I would this weekend; since her uncle had given her the Bee Movie game. She’s been bugging me to hook it up for a while now. Now, you know [...]
