From my immediate post before this, I was given a few ideas for future post topics. The first two look like fun, so I am going to attempt them, the second one first!
Write about your conceptions about being a dad BEFORE you become and what happened after you become a ...

Got a call from my sister in law about the dinner arrangements for Friday, the usual day of the week where we have dinner with my parents in my eldest brother's house.
We are having a Father's Day dinner celebration!

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 ...

So this Daddee had actually taken a few days off work just to be with Caitlin, on her first school holiday break.

She props herself up on her elbows, on the bed, peering over the mini-mountains of pillows. In this light I can just make out the outline of her japanese doll haircut, and her eyebrows. She is looking at me.

Currently 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 ...

Finally, over the weekend we decided to do something as a family, a semi adventure for Caitlin too. We went to Genting Highlands.
Specifically we went to the outdoor theme park, seeing as Caitlin's been to the indoor one when her aunt was back for holidays not-too-distant-memory ago- even for a ...

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.
By distracted, for a 4 month old kid, is: Stop sucking, looking around, ...

I wanna post something, but I don't seem to have anything on my mind to share at the moment....
So, here's an image, or two, to share, instead.
Taken only just now. The room was dimly lit, naturally. Set the camera to very slow shutter speed; 10 sec shutter speed in fact. ...

Happy to report that Caitlin's colouring (ie, her motor skills with the pencil) has been improving steadily. She has been getting at least one star-rating from her homework from her teacher; who, earlier this year, was telling us that her motor skills was lacking.
Incidentally, it is coming to that time ...

Taking the cue from the comment on checking my own old photos and comparing them to my kids now, I thought I'd do this comparison!
I was actually naked in that picture! No, not shy, just that its easier doing a mugshot comparison this way.

A prequel episode:
Visit to the Doctor!
As with all newborns, Caitlin's first few visits to Dr Pixie's weren't exactly pleasant for her. But the one visit that really stood out in my memory, was the time when her cold / nasal congestion was so bad that she needed suction performed up ...
