about a boy

… or at the very least, have grilles installed.

Wouldn’t it be great?

I was searching for Christmas related shots on Flickr when I stumbled on this gem of a photographer (with two equally gorgeous girls). Jason Lee of JWL Photography took the above pictures and coupled with the captions, they bowled me over. And got me laughing [...]

So the little boy turned 21 months old (yesterday). 3 more months and he’d be (terrible / terrific, you decide) 2.
Since his birth he has grown considerably. Nevermind that he can actually STILL wear the Levis jeans that the Ongs got him at birth. Ok, it was for 3-6 months but still!
So 21 random notes [...]

Reason #3238676 you want your kid to not be so mobile.
We headed off to the bank yesterday and stupidly thought not to bring a stroller. ‘We’d be driving! How difficult can he be in that short period at the bank?’ I thought. Big blunder.
5 minutes into the outing and he was wrecking havoc. He went [...]

You got to admit, this is a lot more fun to learn than numbers!

When they say the ‘terrible twos’ do they mean age 20 months onwards or when the kid turns 2 years of age Jayden turned 20 months old (just 4 more months and he’s 2!) and has developed into a little tyrant of sorts. Quite a mischievous monster, the best thing that has happened of late [...]

So we added more vcds to his (ever) growing collection. A mixture of Barney, Sesame Street and Winnie the Pooh, a smattering of Max Lucado… and we have a likely four eyed monster on our hands.
That said, some of the videos are really good. And no, it is not because they have been drummed into [...]

Last night we went out with my grandma and cousins for a dinner date. Jayden was reasonably good… sitting in his baby chair almost the entire time. He was, of course, clanging away at his cutlery and making a din. But better a din than a scene I say.
And he allowed us to eat our [...]

How to work with such a kid?! [...]

… there is a certain purple dinosaur that escaped extinction and is driving us nuts over here. He is ruling the tv and the dvd player right this moment. And is irreplaceable. He is already 20 years old, but still can capture the kid’s hearts.  Even Pooh lost to him.
Sigh.
So we (reluctantly) got another two [...]
