about a boy

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 [...]

… 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 [...]

We had some Robinsons vouchers to utilise before their expiry so we made a midweek shopping trip downtown. The boy charmed the sales girls and got away with almost anything whilst there. However, behind the scenes, you do realise that he is starting to throw tantrums in a bid to get his own way.
He makes [...]

In 24 hours, he managed to cut his upper lips, bruise his knees, fall back on the mat, accumulate a whole load of laundry and well, this. He explored a little too much and somehow managed to get himself stuck inbetween the bars of the mobile clothes rack.
In both hands he holds his ‘treasures’. Not [...]

Daddy’s first reaction was “Sesame Street and the letter P” when I recounted the morning’s incident to him. He had called to say he was in the vicinity and was asking whether we wanted to have lunch together. A nice thought that would have been so much better if the morning had not been disastrous.

Young master Jayden decided that he wanted to have baby soft skin for life. Nevermind that he is just a wee tod. He just gave himself a milk bath in his playpen. Needless to say I’m quite mad at him. Everything is sticky sweet. Him included.
Time for an emergency round of laundry (and a bath [...]

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 [...]

Pardon me for being a prude, stuck in the mud, totally uncool parent but I am not liking the latest revamp to Kids Central. In an effort to be more in tune to the children of today, I think they crossed the invisible line between what is cool and what is uncalled for. At least [...]

If you call my mobile, and I don’t answer… it’s not because I don’t want to.
I can’t.
Jayden just wrecked the ‘answer’ key on my SE800i.
Grr. Most expensive handphone in the house and he spoils it. Now it has turned into a very low end camera.

No, I am not thinking about Jayden’s college plans nor funds. Heck, I have not even started to think which school he should be going for nursery / kindergarten / primary / secondary… Instead, this is about Kids Central’s Record Breakers 2. The first part of the season finale aired today and the trailers for [...]
