about a boy

This week, I decided to change my routine! I thought it would be a cool idea to wake at 9plus, or maybe 10am, give or take, nap for an hour or two at 2pm and then call it a day at 10.30pm after sending the house into utter chaos playing the day away. It was [...]

… 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 [...]

Yes, I use only Johnson’s baby lotions. Nothing else comes quite close. They have a variety of scents too. My favourite is the bedtime lotion. Oh yes, they come in handy sizes too! Like this one… Good to go. Easy enough for me to grab and go. See? Light, easy to carry. Oh and even [...]

Playing musical chairs furniture right now on the large scale and Jayden has gotten into the swing of things. He shifted his own chair, aligned the plastic storage box and got a small makeshift table and chair set for himself.
When the music finally stops, we would have a proper bed, table and chair set for [...]

I had a HORRID Friday but I’d leave that for another day. I’d just count the blessings from Thursday first. And then post about Friday when I can conjure up a post of that day’s event without wanting to host interviews for a new kid. A replacement that is.
Most weekdays, we’d go for walks. Nothing [...]

Yes, I bite.

the stroller is a necessary evil when we go out for long trips. It is a pain in the ass to carry up and down the bus, a horror to wheel out of Orchard MRT station and super irritating to navigate the never-ending construction.
the able bodied people who insist on taking the lift [...]

Judith tries out Silver Boxes for the day …
Had lunch with Judith yesterday, and brought the lil boy along. He nimbled on bread, biscuits, potatoes and decided he was done. Got bored and so towards the end of the meal, Judith turned Silver Boxes leader and tried to capture his attention.
Somewhat successful for a bit [...]

“Drink up. Hold your own bottle so that mummy can go pack up to go out k?”
Immediately the little hands flew up to hold the milk bottle and he sucked eagerly in anticipation. His eyes darted around as he watched me pack the bags to go out to visit his grandparents up in Yishun. He [...]

The night when Jayden tells a girl she isn’t pretty…!
We were having dinner with a korean family at Manna (101 Telok Ayer Road) when the niece asked, ‘Am I pretty?’ and the lil boy goes and shakes his head! Hmmph.
He was trying to babel throughout dinner, got tired of being restrained in the high chair [...]

I am proud to report that I am now able to stand (with some assist of course) and is now practising to walk. Soon, one small step for Jayden, one giant leap for the family !!!!!
Love my parents for the milk that is helping me grow.
