School’s out- Part 2
Monday, June 2nd, 2008So this Daddee had actually taken a few days off work just to be with Caitlin, on her first school holiday break.
Favourites of the moment
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008Currently it's Bee Movie. She won't have it any other way. Not Playhouse Disney channel (with a myriad of shows like Bananas in Pj's, Thomas and Friends, Pocoyo), not past faves like Bear in the Big Blue House or Little Einsteins on VCD's. Anytime we walk through the door, it's ...
Famous quotes for the moment!
Monday, May 19th, 2008. Sigh, this Daddee ah, so silly... It's okay Daddee, I licked it already! Daddee? Where is the talker from the radio? What do you mean? Where is the talker on the radio; where is he? ........ While playing with her Lego toys, we were trying to build a tall castle, which obviously kept falling over. ...
Toddler’s grammar, colouring, Daddee wordless again!
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008. "I good of colouring already.." Did you know that "k" is for kettle? I wonder what "L" will stand for?
Labour day holiday outing…
Friday, May 2nd, 2008. So today, May 1st, is Labour Day. Caitlin felt like "going shopping." So, we impromptu-ly agreed. Not that she needed to buy anything; to her shopping is akin to walking around in a shopping centre or a supermarket. Admittedly since starting school she has not had much chance in doing the ...
Mind your p’s and q’s, young lady!
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008This is a semi serious issue. One that needs to be nipped in the bud, but that wasn't!
Lookie what I can do, at 11 weeks old…
Thursday, March 27th, 2008Yo-check it, Adults! I am starting to hold my head up I am starting to hold my head up! I can also do this already! Yo man I am so clever now! Heh heh! I overhead Major-Adult-2 saying something about the "skydiving position"... What's position?
Our first academic argument
Thursday, March 6th, 2008It's not a bad thing. It's actually something good. And it's another you-had-to-be-there moment... We are on the road home. Caitlin is strapped in her seat at the back, watching the world go by. Okay, just watching the traffic go by... Caitlin: Daddee, what is "bus" in Mandarin? Daddee: ba si (don't know ...
Toddler and the top 40 chart
Thursday, February 14th, 2008"..Suicidal, suicidal..." Good lord what is she singing?? I would much rather she sing the earlier few verses, You're way too beeeaaaaauuuutiful girl... I thought she should know what she was singing, but of course at age 3 she may still be struggling with the concept of death, much less the idea ...
Family reunions- Toddler & baby brother
Saturday, February 2nd, 2008'Tis the season for it. But it was even more so this morning- Mummee and Caleb are home! From the airport, Mummee and Caleb headed for Mummee's parents', where she will continue her confinement and recuperation. Last night, I offered Caitlin a choice of where she would like to sleep the ...
Effects of separation anxiety?
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008I was told that during the weeks that I was away Caitlin was quite well behaved. She would greet her elders (my parents, siblings) in the mornings, sit quietly and eat on her own during meals- just generally being a happy kid (sans the occasional "I want my Daddee" breakdowns). Since coming ...
“Why so long??”
Friday, January 25th, 2008That was one of Caitlin's exclamations on why I was away this long. "Why no ticket??" was her reaction when a response was offered. To me, when I got home from the airport so late the previous night and seeing her already asleep, I recall thinking then that she seemed so ...
Separation anxiety
Thursday, January 24th, 2008Ann over at Autopsy of Ann has experienced it recently, when she started dropping her bubs off at child care before work. You guys would know that Caitlin and I are very close, and that I recently have had to be in Sydney for a few weeks, away from her. I don't ...
Toddler and money
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008To Caitlin, I must be the most broke daddy around. She is more observant now: She watches tv, she "reads" the newspapers' slip-in brochures, she flips through the mailbox-catalogs, she sees the shelves in the toy sections of departmental stores, she tries out the display units in the stores.... In short, she ...
