Caitlin likes to watch The Little Einsteins.
In it are 4 character kids who fly (Red) Rocket that seems to have a personality of its own. Together they go on their respective episodic adventures. The whole show is based on music, using snippets of classical music such as from Mozart, Bach, etc. They use big words [...]
So I had mentioned before that I was a little concerned about Caleb sleeping on his tummy when he was only at such a young age. Of course then the assurance that it was all ok by other mothers was, well, reassuring.
So he’s been sleeping on his front this whole time.
With his little stunt [...]
Here’s what’s in my car:
Caitlin’s shoes and slippers
My work shoes, by the driver’s feet, almost tucked under the seat
Work socks- don’t ask
The front passenger seat’s headrest, detached, sitting on the front seat itself
A tie on the front seat, within reach when I reach the office
A few more ties, in the storage box behind the hand [...]

Caitlin says:
I can emulate Daddee and repeat myself LOUDER when he says “Pardon?”, just like he does with Hot Mummee when she says “Hmm?”
I can wear my socks and shoes on my own now, most times getting the left and right right, or right and left right. Haha I made a joke.
I can make pretty [...]

Following up on the first post about my expectations of becoming a dad for the first time, I would like to continue with the second part of the blog-topic sugguestion- this time on becoming a dad for the second time.
I mentioned we were going to only have 2 kids. Since we already have Caitlin, we [...]

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 dad? How have you changed [...]

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 all their lives; the Mummee’s [...]
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 Bee Movie. Wanna watch what’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 toddler. This time it was [...]

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, turning his head allowing me [...]

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. Set the camera on the [...]

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 of the year again, where [...]
