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 [...]

“I good of colouring already..”
Did you know that “k” is for kettle?
I wonder what “L” will stand for?

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 rounds like she used to [...]
This is a semi serious issue. One that needs to be nipped in the bud, but that wasn’t!

Yo-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?

It’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 your pinyin?). And “car” is [...]
“..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 of it being self-inflicted.
So [...]
‘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 night: At Grandma’s and be [...]
I 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 home, she seems to have [...]
That 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 big, bigger than how I [...]
Ann 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 know if having brought her [...]
As you know, I had recently brought Caitlin to Sydney for Christmas. Mummee was already there in Sydney- Yes, I flew with a 3 yr old alone!
She’s been to Sydney once before when she was 2. So for this trip, she still remembered the whole experience of the journey (which is what airlines should pay [...]
To 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 is the latest victim of [...]
Traditionally & culturally, my family does not celebrate Christmas.
But that of course did not stop us from wanting to get Caitlin a present.
This Christmas was the first time I played Santa as a father- I didn’t really know how to go about it. And since becoming parents, we have always wanted to get our [...]
