Christmas Party 2009

Today the kids’ school has Xmas party. Kaitlyn suppose to take her evening nap, but we don’t want her to being left out from attending the party, so we take the risk of bringing her along and I keep my fingers crossed that she will not make noise and hope we can stay til the end of the party…..and everything turn out to be perfect!

We reached the party around 7:10pm,and there isn’t many ppl, even though the party suppose to start by 7pm. This is typical Malaysian style, when we say party start at 7pm, people will only arrive 30 mins later. Well, last year, we reached the school before 7pm and we are the first one arrived there, so this yr, we a bit late. Kelvin start to wondering around to look for his friend, but no luck. None of his friends arrived yet. I passed the jelly and the present that we brought along for gift exchange to teachers and by the way, it’s a potluck Xmas party, so each family will bring some food. And together with the jelly, I passed Kaitlyn to teacher Margaret. Oops….did I mention that I passed my little princess to someone else LOL! She happily let teacher Margaret carry her and I get to get myself freshen up a bit before the party. I walked around with Kelvin, accompany him to play slide and after a while when I wanted to look for my little princess, she’s with Ms Goh. She’s so adorable and anyone who see her also want to carry her…(oh..this mummy so thick face!) Soon, more and more people coming in, so I gotta keep my eyes close to Kelvin afraid he may out of my sight.

Around 745pm, party start with eating party! So hub get us some food and I brought along Kaitlyn’s milk but this little girl, she refuse to take her milk, instead she wants to eat the food that we are having. So I gave her some bread and she enjoy the plain bread very much. Kid..kid..kid, so easy to feel happy! Around 8pm, the real party start with performance. While the 6 yrs old dancing, Kaitlyn also want to join them. But I told her to finish up her milk before she can join them, and while drinking her milk, she looks at the dancing. And where is Kelvin. Oh…..one of his friend’s parents help us to look after him as he was busy playing with the other friend, Shaneeka. But well, if you think that me and hub taking care of Kaitlyn is easy task, then u r wrong! This little girl of mine, as soon as she finished her milk, she insisted me to let he get down and when I asked whether she want to go dance, she nodded her head and before I can say anything, she walked towards the elder kids.

And I have to keep squatting beside her, cannot stand up, else later I blocked others although I am not very tall , everyone sitting on the chair ! Kelvin also joining the elder kids and he basically mess up the show as he created his own dance, **slapped forehead**

Between the dance performance, there is some games and our family being “invited” to one of the game. Why? Because Kelvin was holding balloon during the musical balloon game and hub get invited to the “punishment” session, so he gets to dance with Kelvin with others families. For this yr, our little boy want to participate in almost all games, and the next game that Kelvin make hub participate is the action game. (When music start every dance, and once music stop, need to stay in whatever position that you are in.)
And I tell you what…Kelvin is the first one get disqualified from the game, why? Coz when the music stop, he managed to hold on with his action, but he can’t stop himself from laughing, LOL! But he can still participate in the entire game and how the judge who get disaualified? Those who get disqualified will get a pencil…so at the end of the game, the judge will ask the kids to show their pencil, this is actually a trick..which means, the kids without pencil are winner…and u know what, as soon as Kelvin and other kids sees the judge giving different present to those kids without pencil, they keep chasing the judge and Kelvin even tells the judge “hey, I got pencil, where is my present” we all really had good laugh at those kids reaction.

And what is Kaitlyn doing ? she’s busy dancing when the music start and no fuss from her at all. I bet she’s gonna be party kaki next time! After long waiting, finally it’s Kelvin’s performance time. I didn’t know what he’s performing. But this little boy just go and disturb people, he dance half way and again created their own dance with his friends. LOL! Finally, it’s Xmas song time! Kelvin get to grab the mic and sing few sentences from few xmas song. To my surprise, he knows those song better than I do!

Same as last yr, we will have a short walk with Santa along the street. Kelvin so excited and so does Kaitlyn. I carried her and she keep pointing at Santa, directing me to chase after Santa for her. And lastly, it’s gift exchange time and each kids line up to collect their present from teacher. The door is so small and it’s so crowded with people getting in and out to the living room. It’s something like mega sales scenario, LOL!

Last yr,Kelvin got a stationary set and this yr, he got a small phone and meanwhile Kaitlyn got a plastic flipped book. Kinda suitable for both of them. But frankly, I will never thought of getting such a toy phone for Kelvin, coz it looks a bit “odd” to me. But he’s so excited with the phone. Kid is kid, can get happy over a small toy. This really make me think, why do we as parents crack our head to think whether should we get them Fisher Price or v Tech toy….u see, a simple toy can make their day, some more they will just go crazy with the toy for few days, so what for spending so much to get them expensive toy and few days later, the toy will be sitting in store room.

Batman @ Queensbay Mall

While we were doing our window shopping at Queensbay Mall, suddenly we see there's projection of Batman logo all over at the center court from second to third floor. This is first time Kelvin sees Batman, and he gets so excited seeing it.With this, his cartoon network has additonal team members, Thomas, Transformers, Doreamon and now Batman!

A day at E&O Hotel

Finally, we claimed our last stay at E&O hotel on 13th Dec 2009. We had our family photo shooting session during our previous stay in the hotel. No more family photo shooting this round:) Since we will be going out in the afternoon, so after lunch, we tried our very best to tug the both kids for their afternoon nap, but no luck. Both of them refuse to sleep and so long one of them not sleeping, the other one will also refuse to sleep, they will want to play with one another.

And after few attempt, we manage to let Kelvin sleep. And close to 3pm then only Kaitlyn fall asleep and Kelvin wake up from the short nap. So, our initial plan is to bring Kelvin with us and Kaitlyn will join us later after she wakes up from her afternoon nap.

Around 3:30pm, when we were about to leave the house, Kaitlyn wake up from her afternoon nap and we gotta bring her along. We arrived at the hotel around 4pm and while i was busy doing the check in procedure, both kids having fun walking around at the hotel lobby. Kaitlyn admire his brother Kelvin very very much, wherever her brother goes to, she will follow. Both of them get excited with the echo from the Dome at central lobby of the E&O Hotel.

After a while, finally our room is ready with a baby cot. Both kids very excited when we got into the room, both also excited seeing the baby cot. First thing first, they check the bathroom, **slapped forehead**

We let the kids mess up play in the room for a while before heading to the swimming pool. As soon as we put on their swim suit for both of them, they can't wait to get out from the room. Too bad, the water in the pool too cold for the kids. So we just spend less than 5 mins at the swimming pool and headed back to the room. And since we told the kids we gotta go for a swim, how can we dissappoint 2 cuties of us, so we let them bath in the bath tub. 2 of them still enjoy their bath in the pool very much. *phew*
After bath, what's next? Eating time for the kids. For this time of free stay, we do not plan to have dinner at Sarkies Corner as we found that the food served at dinner is almost same as food served during lunch. Instead, we went out to have dinner with my parents. We let the kids continue to play in the room after dinner before we call off the night.

We didn't overnight in the hotel as the room that we get is a room with twin sharing bed, and furthermore we are working on the next day. Nothing to lost as the room is FOC and the kids enjoy themselves very much. On our way back, Kelvin keep telling us he likes the room and would like to go for another stay LOL!

Christmas mood

Ah Kong get this for both of you from the PCs fair. As soon as you see it, you requested us to put it on for you. Girl is girl, very "ai sui".
You even dance when we requested you to do so. What we need to do is, just to say "Kaitlyn girl, dance!" Then you will start lifting your leg up or move your body left and right, LOL!Busy walking around the house showing everyone this new toy of yours.

Kaitlyn's first anklet

I have been searching high and low on a baby anklet for Kaitlyn ever since she knows how to walk, and finally i found one while i was doing my shopping with Sharon at Gurney Plaza. I like seeing kid wearing anklet, it sounds so nice to me, and they look so adorable with the anklet.

Kaitlyn happily let me wear it for her and keep showing everyone her anklet. LOL!

Writing time

Mummy said i watch too much TV and play too much computer game...so i better sit down and "write" some word, else mummy will be very angry at me.

Do Not Disturb

Pls do not disturb me, when i am....

working hard playing computer game;

when i am....

concentrating on my cartoon movie;

See how little boy concentrate on watching the cartoon program, wonder will he as concentrate as this way when he's at school, LOL

2 sweeties lost in battle

Lost in battle…Kelvin is sick and recovering, and I worry that Kaitlyn will fall sick too as both of them like to play with one another, kiss each other and now at night they even want to sleep together. Sleep together, some more need to sleep very close to each others.

So at the end, little Kaitlyn lost in battle and down with running nose and mild fever. Feeding her medicine is tough than rock climbing (oops..a bit exaggerate). We need 2 person to do the medicine feeding job, one hold her tight and the other pump the medicine into her mouth. And sometimes she will force herself to throw out, but sometimes she will just swallow it.

Sweetie pies, mummy hope both of you will recover fast as aunty Sharon is visiting us this weekend and furthermore, we will be attending uncle Barney’s baby full moon party on this Sunday!

A busy day for her

Ever since Kaitlyn able to walk unsupported all by herself, this little girl of mine super busy. The falling down incident doesn't stop her from walking. The moment she wakes up from sleep, she will walk non stop from front to back, back to front of the house. So we need to keep our eyes close on her, bacause she can even climb up the split level and stairs in the house. *scary huh*

A happy girl

For unknown reason, Kaitlyn likes to play with my handbag and also basket. Everytime as soon as she gets a bag, she will walk towards the door, sayong "kai kai" and wave bye bye with all of us. A future shopping kaki!

As usual, during the weekend, she whined me and want me to let her carry my handbag. I recalled that hubb bought a small bag forKelvin during his last trip to China, so this is how i make my little girl happy!

Falling down

Oh….what happen to my my sweetie.

Today, when mummy picked you up from school, teacher Margaret in her worry face ask mummy what happen to my cellphone as she kept calling me, and mummy didn’t pick up the call. My heart sank and I asked her what’s going on…..teacher Margaret’s expression told me something happen to either you or ke ke. And…it’s about you!

You fall down and knock on left side of your cheek. Without asking for more detail, I rushed up to where your class is and want to have a check on you. But you were sleeping soundly in your baby cot, I guess you must be too tired after the cry and fall asleep. I can see the blue black mark on your left cheek and gosh….my heart really sank. Then only I asked teacher Margaret what’s happening to you. According to her, you fall down on the floor and knock on your left cheek and she told me you weren’t holding anything on your hand while you fall. Even mummy feel not happy with your fall, but this is part and parcel of growing up. Just hope that you will learn the lesson, which I don’t think you do, because after mummy wake you up from sleep, you insisted me to let you walk, LOL!

We then went to Ms Goh’s house to pick up ke ke, and I heard another version of story from Ms Goh. She told me the teacher told her that you fall down outside the bathroom. And mummy even more angry with this. I raised my voice and asked her “Why the teacher let her walk after they bath Kaitlyn? Don’t they know that the kid’s leg still wet and chances of them falling down is high?” but well, thing already happen and i just wish that teacher will be more cautious next time.

At night, daddy try to use a boiled egg to massage on your face, however you refuse to let us do it, so we give up and at the end, the 2 dogs get to eat the egg.

Your first step

Finally….u r walking unsupported by yourself! I got this template from Ern's mummy, aunt Wooi Sin and i used this template to post for ker ker's first step too. Thanks Wooi Sin for this perfect template to track my kids' first step.

Friday, when mummy picked you up from school, teacher happily told me that you are able to walk many many steps unsupported by yourself. And you get so excited and keep walking around in the afternoon, so they really have hard and rough and challenging time to make you take your afternoon nap. After wake up from afternoon nap, again, you walk nonstop at the playing area in your baby class.

Am so happy seeing you able to walk all by yourself, however, here come the worries, you refuse to let us hold on your hand and you walk like a little penguin, trying to balance yourself while walking.

And guess what, beside daddy and mummy, ke ke is the most happy boy seeing you able to walk and he kept running around in the house asking you to chase after him, and you keep trying to catch him. Well, his one round running around the house is your ¼ walking distance, LOL!

Challenging cum headache moment

Kelvin is going to Kindergarten 1 by next year, but til now, he still doesn't show the interest on writing. I checked with school teacher and teacher assured me that she did assessment for all the 3 yrs old student in the class, and Kelvin can follow the dotted alphabet properly, and she even showed me Kelvin's masterpiece. I tried to do the same thing at home, but, he refused to hold the pencil properly or sometimes he will tell me he is tired and want to sleep.

Yesterday night, i forced him to do a simple picture and number matching. I draw few items and requested him to match the picture with the correct number, the little boy of mine refuse to follow instruction and we have to force him to do it. In fact, he knows how to do, the problem is he doesn't want to.

It' gonna be a big challange for me. I cannot let him go on honeymoon anymore as he's going to Kindergarten 1 by next year. Any clue??

I Love You, You Love Me

While we were in the car, Kaitlyn suddenly decided that she wants to kiss me and Kelvin. She started to give me a big wet kiss on my face, then follow by my eyes, my forehead and last, right on my lips.

After that, she called out the brother softly , "keh!", "Keh!", "Keh!" for few times until the brother hear her and put his face near to her. Then she started to kiss the brother, and i do hear a "chup" sound coming out from her. Then the 2 brother and sister kissing each others and both attack on my face together.

More and more steps

This morning, you balance yourself from squatting position and try to walk few steps unsupported. Previously, you need to lean on someone or hold on someone's hand and balance yourself then only you will walk few steps unsupported.

I see you squatting up and down and walk by yourself few times in less than 10 mins time and i guess you are about ready to walk unsupported by yourself. Great job, baby!

Fun time

Today, we are suppose to bring Kelvin for a cycling fun with Evan and Kaitlyn for stroller walk while the 2 boys are doing their cycling. However, around 5pm, the sky turns dark and start to drizzle. So i checked with Angeline whether her area is raining too or not, and with a disappointed answer, yes, her area start drizzling. But, we will still proceed with plan B. Instead of letting the kids cycling outdoor, they will play indoor game.

We left my parents house around 615pm and the rain gets heavier and the traffic along the way from Minden Height to Tangjung Bunga is real bad. Slow traffic here and there. And i received a call from Angeline around 6:50pm telling me the rain is very heavy at Tanjung Bunga area.

We reached at Angeline's at 7pm, the rain still very heavy. We let the 2 boys played for a while in the house before heading for dinner. My little girl not in good mood as she wanted to play with my handphone and i refused to let her play, so she's making fuss and refuse to let others carry her. Angie's MIL carry her as soon as we reached their house, and my little girl greeted them with loud cry, i guess she must be scaring everyone away. And oh yeah, i forgot a fastastic part.....everytime i go visit Angeline, my kids will bring her some "present" aka stink bomb! When Kelvin still baby, everytime we visited Angie, he will poo-ed and for this time, Kaitlyn also follow her brother's style, she poo-ed and i need to change her in Angie's room. Sorry Angie, i think my kids love u tooooo much and they want to bring you some unforgettable present.

Ben also try to play with our little girl, and also, she greeted him with loud cry. And worst still, she refuse to let anyone carry her including her own daddy. She sticked to me. while the 2 boys playing with the toys, i feed Kaitlyn some of her porridge. Awhile later, we headed to Sumida for Japanese dinner! yummie!

Thank goodness, my little girl back to her cheekiness when we were in the car. she started to "play" with her brother, aka beating her brother. **slapped forehead** While waiting for our food to be served, the boys get to eat homemade macaroni and cheese from Angie. Kelvin told me he wanted to eat macaroni when we were buying KFC on Tuesday and i told him i will "try" to cook for him over the weekend, but now..ta daaaa, i got a chef to cook it for Kelvin. *Phew, what a relief, as i was cracking my head for so many days, thinking on how to cook for Kelvin** So what my little girl do when the 2 boys eating the homemade macaroni? She continue to have her porridge. Kaitlyn then spotted baby biscuit in my bag and she asked for it.

Finally, our food is here, and while we are enjoying our food, i let Kaitlyn had her baby biscuit because this is the only way to make her sit properly and this is the only way to let myself can have peaceful time to enjoy my meal, LOL! The whole dinner time quite smooth and i enjoy the food very much. Not sure what about the rest LOL!

After dinner, we went back to Angie's house and let the kids play for a short while. Kaitlyn spotted Evan's small jeep and she started to play with it. Later, she gives us a sign, "i am tired, mummy" by keep rubbing her eyes. Time to go home! Both of the kids fall asleep in the car on our way home.

Did i hear it wrongly?

Am i dreaming or what? Did i hear it wrongly?

Yesterday night, when mummy tug you to bed, you refuse to sleep, but i stil insist to you that you MUST sleep as it's already 10pm. You tossing around on the bed and suddenly i heard you calling out "Mah Mee" clear and loud for few times.

The first time i heard, i thought you just talking on your baby language, but when you called out second, third and fourth times, i can hear it clear and loud. YES, finally, you are calling me "mah mee!" Although i feel so so so happy, but i still tell you that you NEED to sleep.LOL!

Small incident at home

Yesterday night when I was busy in the kitchen, suddenly I heard Kelvin complain to hubb, “daddy, mei mei beat me” and before hubb can say anything further, my poor little boy burst into tears. He told us mei mei hit him at his head using the toy. However,none of us witness the fight. And I look at Kaitlyn, she was starring at her crying brother, and after a while, she continue to play with her toys, leaving the poor brother cry pitifully in daddy’s arm.

After a while, hubb brought both of them up to the family hall and send Kaitlyn to the naughty corner. This is her first time being send to naughty corner. Since she’s unable to stand unsupported for long, so we give her special offer, instead of standing at naughty corner, she gets to sit there. She tried to crawl away from naughty corner but hubb put her back to the naughty corner again. Poor little girl, but we need to give her a small punishment for hitting her brother. A while later, hubb brought both of them into the room. And what is next?

Next is…both of them play crazily in the room, shouting screaming,rolling,running…and seems like they forgot what happen few minutes ago. Kids are kids, how nice, can forget thing fast!

I scold and He says .....

Yesterday night, when i want to tug Kelvin to bed, no matter how i coax him, he refused to sleep. One moment want to wee wee, one moment want to poo poo. And i told him i am angry at him, guess what he said to me,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Mummy, i love you!"

Geez, at that moment, i feel so guilty. And my heart really really sink.

Why i scolded him for not wanting to go to bed? What did he do wrong that deserve a scold from me? Why can't i sacrify one minute of my sleeping time and have a good chat with him? I really don't know what should i respond back to him.

The adventure story for 3 of us

Today daddy has business trip to Bangkok, and the initial plan is, he will take the flight at 11am-ish, however, at yesterday 5pm, the company travel agent told him that he needs to take the 9am flight. Our earlier arrangement is, as usual, daddy will drop 2 of you to school, then only go to airport after his regular breakfast, but now with this, plan change!

The new plan is, mummy will drop both of you to school. Yes, MUMMY will do it. It's gonna be the first adventure trip for 3 of us as mummy NEVER drive with both of you ALONE. But luckily from our house to your school, it's less than 3 mins drive. Else, i don't think daddy will agree to let me drive 2 of you to school.

The night before, i spoke with Kelvin, tell him that i will be the one sending him and mei mei to school, and i told him that he needs to corporate with me. Instead of the usual arrangement, he sits at the front and Kaitlyn sits at the back, i requested him to sit at the back with his toy and let Kaitlyn sits in front. To my surprise, he agree with me.

This morning, Kaitlyn wake Kelvin up, so Kelvin a bit moody and his mood swing every second. but luckily when i told him that i want to send him to school now, he asked me to carry him into the car happily. **what a relief** As for Kaitlyn, i put her at front seat and load her with lots of toys. But my this little girl, when she sees me, she will find all sorts of ways to get me carry her. So i need to keep talking to her and make sure she will not crawl out from the car seat.

When we reached school, and the reaction from the teacher is "wah, today mummy drop both of you to school" and teacher quickly get both of them out from the car. Maybe teacher want to help them to escape from this scary ride as fast as possible, LOL! Everything turn out to be ok, *thumbs up* to mummy. Looking forward to more exciting trip with the 2 kids, but i doubt daddy will agree with me. HAHA!

You can walk unsupported

wow wow wow, i must write this down.

Today, remark another new start for you as you are able to walk few steps unsupported!
You will lean on our leg, then once you balance yourself, you will walk few steps unsupported. Keep it my, my little girl!

Actually when mummy pick you up from school on Friday, teacher told me that you are able to walk 2 steps unsupported, i feel so happy hearing that. But too bad, i am not there to see it. Until today, i have chance to see you walking like penguin, LOL!

As you know how to crawl, so it's pretty hard for us to make you walk. Mummy tried to ask you come to me by holding your toy, but instead of "walk" to me, you crawl to me and get your toy. **mission failed** Mummy doesn't want to push you too much, so i let you do it by yourself when you are ready for it, and finally, i see you walking, i am so so so so happy!

What will you say when he says so...

Today, as usual, after mummy get myself ready to work, i will pop into the room checking on both of you.

I see Kaitlyn still in her sweet dream but Kelvin is tossing here and there, so i lay beside him, tell him that i am going to work, and here is our conversation.

M: Vin boy, mummy going to work , bye
K: Why you need to go work?
M: If mummy don't go to work, mummy has no money. When mummy no money, then mummy cannot buy u toy.
K: **paused for a while** Mummy, i don't want toy. You don't go to work. You stay at home with me.
M: ** my turn to paused as i never expect such a respond from him, erm...think think think, what to respond back to him** Cannot, mummy need to work, remember, mummy promise want to buy you lots of toys, so you be good boy , let mummy go to work ok?
K: *think think think think for a while, and keep quiet**
M: ** continue to persuade him, else he will cry out loud then me and hubb will go crazy** ok or not, you good boy, mummy go to work, and daddy will send you and mei mei to school later, and mummy will get my work done fast fast and pick you up from school
K: ** with his boh kam muan tone** ok
M: bye boy. *kiss on his forehead**
K: bye mummy ** no kiss from him as he still very boh kam muan**

A sweet morning smile

This morning, after i get myself ready for work, as usual, i will walk into the room, peep on the 2 kids. And when i got into the room, both of them already wake up, Kelvin laze on the bed and Kaitlyn already at sitting position. And when Kaitlyn see me, she gave me a sweet smile and open her 2 arms signalling me to carry her. I feel so fresh and happy seeing her sweet smile.

Girl, you make my day!

Thumbs up to both of you and daddy

Today is a challenging day for daddy as he needs to drop both of you to school ALL BY HIMSELF. Why? As mummy has something new to do, so mummy don't get to send both of you to school together with daddy.

We tried to switch both of your sitting arrangement from last Monday, not very successful. Kaitlyn girl refuse to sit at the front and Kelvin boy refuse to sit at the back. Both want to sit at their original place. But daddy and mummy tried our best to coax both of you. Kelvin easier to convince as he's a very good boy, as for Kaitlyn, still too young to understand our explanation. And she will use her secret weapon to melt my hear, she will cry and call out "ma ma!" oh..how can i say no to her! So i give up and carry her to the back seat and hug my little girl tight. **my fault**

Every morning, as soon as i put Kaitlyn at the front seat, she will started to make noise, protest, and even we let her hold on some toys, she will throw the toys away and tried to release herself from the front car seat. Whereas for Kelvin, he's sitting at the backseat with me, reading his book or playing with his toy.

As day pass, i started to get worry as our plan don't seems to get work per what we expect. Well, later on, me and hubb decided to let it be and hubb will get to find way on the day...we believe, everything will be ok. Other than that, nothing else we can do what, LOL!

Today, i leave the house around 73oam, and send message to hubb around 8am, checking with him how's the situation at home. He told me as soon as i leave, the 2 kids wake up from sleep, and i send him another message around 830am, he told me he is ok with the 2 kids and both of them in school now.

Thumbs up to hubb and the 2 kids! I am so proud with 3 of you!

Happy Big ONE, Kaitlyn

Little princess is sick

Saturday morning, you wake up with a bit heaty feel. We continue to give you your normal morning bath as usual. However, your body gets warmer after 1 hour. So to play safe, we started to give you PCM. You don't seems to get bothered by the fever but you HATE taking medicine.

Daddy and mummy need to force the medicine into your mouth evry 4 hourly and sometimes you will force yourself to throw out. So every time, after we feed you medicine, we will pray that you will not throw out the medicine and food.

The whole of Saturday seems like a normal Saturday for you. The only additional event is medicine feeding session! LOL! And at night, while you are sleeping, it's easier to feed you medicine as you will not fight as aggressive as in the day time. Probably you want to sleep, so you let us do whtever we want. With just 2 or 3 times, daddy able to feed all the medicine into your mouth, but of course with some fighting from you.

On Sunday, the fever subsided, but your body still a bit warm, so we continue to feed you PCM, but this time, it's not 4 hourly. We started to drag it to 6 hourly. Still a active and cheeky girl, and gosh, everytime when you are heaty, you will develop rashes over your face. And one thing that mummy notice is, when ke ke is sick, he will have double eye lids, whereas for you, when you are sick, your double eye lids will go away and left you with single eye lid. LOL!

Suspect you are teeting, as you drool a lot recently. Also, you keep biting your own teeth. Speedy recovery, sweetie, so that we can go swimming! You swimsuit still hang in the closet without any opening ceremony from you.** Same for ke ke's swimsuit. **

You can stand unsupported!

Today, when mummy is feeding you porridge, you decided to be naughty. You climb out from the bumbo seat, and you tried to push the seat around. A while later, u found that it's pretty hard to push it around, you just stand behind the seat, and suddenly, you stand up and let go both of your hand. You able to stand unsupported for about 20 seconds. Everyone give you a big clap, and you repeated it for few times and we all continue to clap for you after each attempt. After few times, you get tired and you climbed into the seat and sit for short while and later out from the seat and become little puppy crawling on the floor. Poor mummy, i need to chase after you to feed you your porridge.

My chicken little

Me and hubb went upstairs and leaving Kelvin alone playing with his toy at the living room downstairs. Suddenly the "old newspaper" van drove pass our house and the driver was announcing "old newspaper" loudly over the speakers, and the next thing is, i heard Kelvin saying " What's that? Who is that" then followed by a loud cry!'

I quickly rolled rushed down from 2nd floor to ground floor, and i saw him and hubb at the middle of the staircase with his golf club, and he was crying like the sky is falling down on him. I quickly hug him and asked hubb to check at ground floor on what's happening. Hubb came back and told me it's just the old newspaper van pass by our house. **what a relief**

Managed to comfort him and make him stop crying. After that i "interviewed" him, asked him why he cry.
M: Boy, why u cry? I thought u used to hear the "old newspaper" announcement?
K: Me alone downstairs, i scared.
M: Don't worry, we locked the door, no one can come in to catch u, ok. And remember, you showed mummy your big muscles?
K: **nod his head*
M: ok, good boy, no more crying ok?
K: ok

After that, he's back to himself, playing and laughing happily again.

The Naughty Corner

I started to have a naughty chair for Kelvin when he's about 1 yr old, but the plan get called off, because not really successful. And the other factor is, i am carrying baby #2 at that time, so i don't have much energy to force him sit at naughty corner and lecture him.

Actually, i do not intend to set up any naughty corner for him, as Kelvin's style is, he needs someone to talk and explain nicely to him instead of punishment. But he's getting more and more misbehave until i need to bite my own tongue when seeing he's so naughty. In fact, i do asked him to hold his both ears and squat up and down for 10 times, but he only manage to do 4 times and i pity him and ask him to stop. As such, it's time to set up the naughty corner again as Kelvin is turning 3 and it's very crucial to tell him what is right and what is wrong. So on Saturday, i introduce him the naughty corner in our 1st floor family hall. And i told him, NO chair and NO toy at naughty corner. Both hand must out straight side by side.

The activity that trigger the opening ceremony of the naughty corner is, he kept putting his index finger into the mouth and bite his own shirt. I keep asking him don't don't don't until i lost count, so at night, i asked him go up to his naughty corner and stand there, and tell me what he had done wrongly. When i got up the the family hall, he's standing there, but he was holding the curtain, playing with the curtain. Don't care....i just want him to tell me what he had done wrongly. To my surprise, he can say out the 2 things that i want him to tell me. Ok , since he able to tell me what he did wrongly , so i just "lightly" lecturing him, tell him why i don't allow him to put fingers into the mouth and also why i don't like him biting the shirt. I really hope he can remember this and will not repeat it again.

I hope he wont be the regular customer to the naughty corner. Else, i need to find another way of punishment.

Birthday party at school

Mummy ordered another cake for you to celebrate your birthday on your real birth date in school. I used to order cup cakes for you since your first birthday, so no different in the arrangement. As giving cup cake is much easier than the whole big cake, teachers do not need to cut and distribute the cake to every kids, what they need to do is, just to give each kid a cup cake, that's it!

And since i got you Thomas gang birthday cake on last Saturday's party at home, so, for the party in school, mummy got you a Transformer cup cake. The cake house is so nice that they offer to deliver the cupcake to our house. When i show you the cake, you super excited and run around the house, keep telling everyone that you have a Transformer cake. You even want to carry the whole box of cup cake. of course mummy doesn't allow you to do so as i afraid you may drop the whole box of cake. However, there is a small hiccup on the cake, can any of you spot it?

The is beforeThis is after

Because mummy spoke to the lady through phone, and i guess she didn't get your name correctly, so your name being spelled as Kevin instead of Kelvin. When i spotted the error, i feel so upset as mummy quite particular with the name. It's like the end of the world for me, i feel so upset, dissapointed, feel that the whole thing seems to be so incomplete now. ** I know i know, it's just a small matter!** So for the whole night, i keep thinking on how to get it corectly, and viola, when i wake up on your real birthday date, i suddenly get an idea to shift the cup cake around and use a "paper" to create a letter L. I also remind teacher and put a small note on the cake box to remind them that the letter "L" is not edible, it's paper, LOL!

The night before, daddy gave uncle James and Ms Goh a call, telling them to be there for your birthday calebration.

When we drop you at school, you get so excited to tell teacher and your good buddy about the Transformer cake. The birthday party is during the morning tea break. Mummy wish i cam there to celebrate with you. I passed camera to teacher Margaret, (same arrangement as last yr), get her help to take some pics for mummy to see. Uncle James also brought along his camera and he took lots of pics of yours. As we can see from the picture above, you are holding the plastic knife cutting your birthday cake, and all of your friends are staring at the cake. I guess they must be waiting for you to distribute the cute little cup cake to them. Each of them has their own small bowl with them, waiting for your cake, and yet, you still enjoy admiring at your Transformer cake, LOL!

In the evening time, when mummy went to pick you up, teachers asked me where i get the cake and the feedback from them are,
a)the cake quite nice
b)the design is nice
c)size of the cake is just nice for the kids
Too bad, i can't tell how nice it is, as i don't get to eat any of them. Apprently, all the 56 cup cakes being finished up by all of you. I hope you enjoy the birthday celebration with your classmates.
