So we had Caitlin first before we had Caleb. It’s a 3 year 2 months gap between them. Boys mature slower than girls. This is quite evident; individual personalities and characters aside. When Hot Mummee was pregnant the first time, I had quietly wished that our first one would a boy. This isn’t a tightly-held [...]

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

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 [...]

It’s the funniest and I guess creative-est thing she’s ever done! So we were on our way to a supermarket. I was running the shopping list verbally with her, play-testing if she can recall all the items we needed. “Why don’t we make a shopping list?” “Good idea, but I am driving….” “I’ll do it.” [...]

Reminiscing
July 21st, 2010 · No Comments · A toddler's POV, Caitlin the heiress
We think about the good times, the laughs we had, the activities we did together, the games we played, the things we shared. These are quite typical memories we have and we conjure up, when we are bored or when we miss those times, and especially so, the people who helped create them. We usually [...]
Learning to share

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” [...]
