I recall I used to do this to my mum as well when I was this age. Kinda also recall driving her crazy too. You feed the 2 year old a mouthful. And he keeps it there. No movement, no chewing, no swallowing. It’s J U S T T H E R E in his [...]

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 [...]

Hot Mummee and I came home on Sunday morning. The flight from Melbourne arrived KL at 5am local time; I booked the overnight one to save a day(light) for when we arrived, but didn’t realise till later that it actually arrived that early. But in any case, we did “gain” a full day despite my [...]

How do I break a waking crying baby at night?
November 4th, 2008 · 4 Comments · A father's POV, Caleb the heir, Food & feeding, Infant development
Daddee drifts in and out of sleep at his desk… Daddee has started developing a headache by mid-morning… Oh- sorry, did you call me? An ongoing struggle… He doesn’t seem to be breaking the habit… 3 nights in a row, he’s woken twice for feeds, and 3 times just because… Or was it 4 times? [...]

In a rut…

This week, actually for the past 3 weeks, Hot Mummee took it upon herself to craft her company’s business plan. Apparently the company has never had one. In hearing her describe the sections that are to go in, it sounded more like an extended version of a company profile than a business plan; a 12 [...]

I fear a tease coming on, though…

Well, it’s been two nights in a row now that Caleb’s slept through the whole night without waking. Well, almost. He knocked off around 9:30pm or 10pm, and didn’t wake till about 5:30am-ish. But that’s good enough for this Daddee and Mummee. He also feeds less crankily since he’s also had a good rest; but [...]

Attack of the noodles!
July 28th, 2008 · 4 Comments · A toddler's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Classic Quotes, Ergonomics, Food & feeding
Grandma was feeding Caitlin noodles. Grandma didn’t realise how hot the noodles was. Gave it to Caitlin, Caitlin immediately spat out, landing on her chest, and started crying. Grandma immediately brushed it off Caitlin’s chest, comforted her, and was feeling bad… “Sorry!! Grandma naughty! Grandma didn’t make sure the noodles was cool enough; Grandma naughty! [...]
