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 [...]

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

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 [...]

… turned 3 on Monday and we went to join in the party at the Ranch home. Food, icecream and drinks, music and people to party with was all Jayden needed to have a great time out. We were given the wristbands on entry but you know who’s hands are way too small.

He was all [...]

Spotted this afternoon, just outside Pasta Mania @ J8, a silly boy begging for money.
Silly boy ran out of the shop bearing an empty soup bowl, sat himself down on the ledge and just watched as the passersby walked along the narrow aisle. It felt so much like he was begging for money, much like [...]

We have been busy really. Jayden turned 19 months old! We are still trying to feed him solids but he is well, erhmm… on a self imposed ‘liquid diet’. Feed him almost any sort of clear soup and he’d drink it. Quite happily too. Try and sneak in some morsel of solid food and he’d [...]

We decided to visit the airport on the spur of the moment. And I think Jayden loved it. It was not his virgin trip there but it was one where he probably had the most fun. At Harris’, he met a new friend and they chased each other round the cd racks whilst we watched [...]

karang guni!
Little fella was running amok with three empty cartons. Cartons he had specially selected from the recycle pile. It is times like this that I wish they came to collect once a day. Or place a bin downstairs for us to sort our recyclables.
Is it really so hard to want to save the earth [...]

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 [...]

New home? Not!

Jayden spent his first National Day in Singapore! But he was not being patriotic in the strictest sense. He was driving us nuts by running amok at IKEA Tampines. Although too small to enjoy the children’s facilities, I think he thinks the WHOLE place is his playground.

He wandered around. Climbed up the beds, [...]
