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 [...]

When he poops.

This title certainly got you clicking Everyone has their styles. Some hold their groins scurrying and yelling “I gotta go I GOTTA GO” while others do so subtly, yet while others (still) don’t tell you AT ALL that they have done it. As far as a number 1 goes, Caleb won’t tell you. At all. [...]

Christmas the silly season…
December 10th, 2009 · 3 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Caleb the heir, Photo opp
Everytime Caleb’s jie-jie rides her tricycle or her training-wheeled bicycle he’d come up from behind and gladly be pushing her. Never has he asked to be riding it, even though he has Caitlin to see as an example. So, since the tricycle is broken from regular wear and tear (I actually think it’s because Caitlin [...]

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 [...]

Sharing a good laugh
July 30th, 2009 · 3 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Parenting musing, Simple pleasures
Caitlin said something the other night and we shared a good laugh. I mean a good laugh, you know the type that makes you laugh heartily, not the I am only entertaining or humoring you laugh. It was in the evening, after dinner but before bedtime- I can still see it in my head. I [...]

How to be a Big sister to a little brother…

I am kinda struggling with this one. Caitlin, in general is sweet to her younger brother Caleb. Since she was able to walk, she’d been fascinated by other humans her size. So, I guess it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that she is so, to her little brother. However, having been the only [...]

He’s got short hair again!
July 10th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Caleb the heir, Parenting musing, Photo opp, Short post
Hot Mummee came home with the kids yesterday evening. She was the one bringing them home from Grandma’s since I opted to head straight home to use the common room’s treadmill (as you know I am always complaining about my weight, now I am trying to do something. Trying) Went downstairs to help “herd” them [...]
