Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

. Moomykin posted a few pics in a post she titled Max The Terror. After a few comments, we ended up with the idea to safeguard ourselves from the kids when they are grown: To have some insurance to protect us (blackmail?) from them.... So here's mine, posted on the www for ...

I don’t want to wake up to feed baby anymore!

Monday, June 16th, 2008

You all know how I looooooove feeding Caleb when it's my turn, during the night / wee hours of the morning; and how I looooooove exacting revenge on his bullying antics to his Daddee! And you all know how I am resisting comparing my two kids and their respective "achievements". But...

The actual Father’s Day!

Monday, June 16th, 2008

. Just posting a quick follow up on Father's Day celebrations! Had dim sum lunch with my parents and my two brothers and their families, Hot Mummee shouted! And dinner with my inlaws here: Afterwards I asked if Hot Mummee wanted to split the lunch's bill with me- I was surprised she shouted that. ...

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

. Aren't toddler / preschool birthday parties fun? Especially when it is held in an "adult" place, served with "adult" food, attended by more adults than kids?? Haha! Not trying to be mean to the parents of Princess T who organised it ;) Princess T and Caitlin have been friends almost ...

Favourites of the moment

Revenge on the bully is sweet!

Monday, May 12th, 2008

. Caleb the Daddee-bully, takes forever drinking his milk. He'd start off all keen; naturally cos he's hungry, then at about 3oz left (we give him 6oz at the moment), he'd start showing less interest and start being distracted.

Toddler and bad dreams, again.

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

For some reason, Caitlin seems to be having bad dreams again lately. I would have thought given we are all back home now for a few weeks already, and also with the Chinese New Year festivities since then being a positive distraction, that she shouldn't have anymore real reasons to be ...

Learning to use chopsticks

Friday, September 14th, 2007

We got Caitlin a pair of these chopsticks for beginners. The rings for the fingers are actually detachable, to swap with the extra rings provided for left-hand use. A young-family friend of ours (the distributor & importer of these) also has a daughter but almost a year older than Caitlin. ...

Incorrect baby formula?

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

We have been fortunate & grateful that Caitlin, from about 5 months old, would be knocking off to sleep between 9-10pm, & would not wake till about 8am. She is 2 years 8 months now. As she is a little older now & as-if-grown-up-ly allowed to stay up a little later, ...
