Her first platform shoes

At least I also think that’s what it’s called.

updownshoes

But just like Daddee being innocently ignorant about its proper description, Caitlin was referring to her new pair of shoes as the “up down shoes”.

Now you gotta really sit down and think about how she could possibly come up with a name like that. I did, yet still couldn’t work it out; where for a while we were both frustrated that we didn’t know what she was referring to.

Until I sat her down and asked her what up-down shoes.

And she went and got it to show me.

“Why did you call it the ‘up-down shoes’?”

She pointed to the heel. “See Daddee; up?” and pointed to the toe “Down”.

More tongue action!

I was showing Caleb some of the videos I have taken; he does seem to like watching them too, and I kinda condone it ‘cos I remind him of who everyone is especially the relatives. Showed him the tongue action … Continue reading

Hands of a 4 year old.

I was just going through the photo library on my laptop… and this just occurred to me. Does this look like a hand of a 4 year old? Maybe it does to you. To me it looks more like- maybe … Continue reading

Our Sunday afternoon…

Woken by the kids, got them some morning snacks, and since it wasn’t too sunny and hot….

Luckily for everyone, Caleb actually likes to push from behind. But it won’t be long though, before he’d be wanting to ride.

Yes, they were still in their jammies. It’s Sunday okay- give us parents a break!

Evening came and it was time to get ready for bed.

Caleb can express his hunger quite audibly / comprehensibly now, by telling us “nan-nan”.

As you can see he’s quite comfortable on the beanbag. Quite a relief for all of us, since we don’t always have to be watching him when he feeds now.

Caitlin, on the other hand, was being rather cheeky about bedtime. Calls to her to go clean her teeth went unanswered.

We found her like this.

Now that’s one way of getting out of doing something. I gotta try that with Hot Mummee one day….

Another improvisation

With a lack of toys and an abundance of imagination, Caitlin has had to improvise and make pretend toys to spend (some of) her days. Yes I am a pathetic parent letting my kid endure this. Her “skills” in improvising … Continue reading

A 4 year old’s improvisation

Grandma helps with our shopping sometimes, since she has the opportunity as well as one who keeps an eye out for bargains and specials from the big retailers.

Last night there were 3 packs of diapers recently purchased (with one for us to bring home the remaining stays at grandma’s). The kids, getting bored waiting for the adults to get ready for dinner, thought to amuse themselves.

As the bags are plastic, the kids were stacking and riding them. I had to watch them to ensure they don’t slide off backwards, as it so easily would since its so slippery.

This is what Caitlin did, in between being told to be careful.

Gotta hand it to her!

The short hair. Still makes Daddee jealous!

At one stage I did want to try sporting a crew cut. Call it chicken, call it because-my-hair-is-thinning. It’s because the shape of my head will only make me look (more) silly. But my son sports it well- the second … Continue reading
