I want to be a BIG BOY: Drinking from CUP!!



Mummy note that I am getting
more and more independent
after attending school.....
I am starting to drink from a cup....
I am still a little sloppy,
but, I am sure with a little more practise....
I'll get better!!
I am also showing interest to feed myself,
BUT, I am still very messy with it....
That is why mummy is still reluctant to let me feed myself at home!!
With my new found independence,
Mummy felt that she is slowly loosing her little boy.....
What seems to be a highly dependent little baby
18 months ago is learning critical independent skills
for him to live without mummy in days to come.....

No matter what happens, Mummy & Daddy will be here for you.....
We love you Hiroshi, You have made our family complete!!

Sophia @ 37 weeks 1 day

Upon hearing that mummy has slight contractions in the evenings,
and decrease in fetus movements,
Dr Chong ordered mummy to do a CTG scan....
Well.... From the scan, everything looks good!!
Sophia has healthy heart beat rates....
and NO CONTRACTIONS were recorded on the scan!!
*DuhZ* Must be mummy too kan jiong about mei mei!!

After the doctor examine mummy carefully,
he found out that mummy's cervix is softening!!
Which means that mummy can go into labor any time from today....
BUT, Dr Chong hopes that mei mei will be a good girl
and stay in mummy till 05th June 07,
as the doctor feels that she is still abit SMALLish!!

Mummy weights 68KG now....
She is waddling around the house like a penguin....
Quite a funnie sight....
She is feeling sore all over....
Even the slightest movement like turning in bed
or getting off bed is eternity for her!!

Sigh... hang in there mummy!!
We'll have Sophia in our arms in 10 days time!!

Sweet 18 months.....

We have come a long way haven't we?!?

I am finally 18 months old.....
That relates to 1 year 6 months on Mother Earth.....

So how has it been?!?
Oh well.... I am still learning about
"RULES & REGULATIONS" about life in general....
What's black,
What's white.....
And.... *ahem* most importantly, What's the grey area?!?!?
Areas where I can flash my ever so cheeky smile and get away with it!!

I had my Booster Hepatitis B Jab on 15 May....
That is finally the LAST jab for the time being!!
*pats violently on chest* Heng arr!!
I'll be 7 years old the next time I see the needle!!
A good break for my BUTTS!!
OH... you might want to know that I was a brave boy...
I only gave a short cry in protest after the jab...
And I did not frighten
the other kids waiting outside the clinic!!
**The plaster is where I got "SABOed"!!

The doctor's assessment deemed that I am better in my motor skills....
BUT, Super lacking in my communication skill....
Come to think of it....
NORMAL MAH!! I am a boy leh!!!
BOY where got so sampat one!!
Idioms also say Man of FEW WORDS liao loh!!
Sigh..... The doctor didn't learn that idiom I think!!

New Vocabulary
**ISH: Which means Fish.....
sign language FISH *moves palm from side to side*
Ever since daddy got some fishes in our tiny pond, I've learned to say the word fish and even use the sign language for fish.... I have been quite consistent for this one.... Each time mummy ask me, "where is the fish?!?" I'll run to the pond, use sign language for fish and say "ISH"!!
**Bird: Which obviously means BIRD!!
One day, I was allowed to push my little tricycle to the Pasat Malam....
And when we walk past a patch of green field, I saw a few brown coloured things flapping ard on the grass.... Then daddy said "BIRD".....
After walking past the Pasat Malam....
I pointed to the tree and said "BIRD".....
The was the one and only time I used that word!!
Needless to say, it got my parents THRILLED!!
**When i see a picture of a tiger....
I put my both hands up and say "grr grr...."
Mummy is still trying very hard to make me say the word "TIGER"!!

Other than all these definite vocabulary mummy has picked up...
I have been babbling alot too!!
Mummy hopes to find a decoder book for baby babbles!!
If you find one, DO tell my mum about it....
So that we can stop playing guessing games!! (",)

I have got 8 teeth now....
Mummy.... Does that means BETTER FOOD?!?

I have also learned to be more affectionate!!
For the 1st time in 18 months....
I am cuddling the Winnie the pooh bear
mummy got me months ago!!
Each time mummy ask me, "where is the baby bear?"
I'll go fetch baby bear, cuddle it, hug it and pat it!!
Mummy feels that it's an encouraging sign....
She hopes that translate the same kinda affection for Sophia mei mei! *wink wink*

Happy Mother's Day.....

This will be my second mother's day.....
Up to date...i still dun find this day very special....
As Hiroshi has not learn to say "Happy Mother's Day"
or "I love you Mummy"....
Infact, getting him to say the word "Mummy" is a daunting task!!
For now, I can only be satisfied with
his loud smooching kisses on my lips.....
These are the only actions from him that expresses LOVE....

Nevertheless, I will be waiting for that day.....

Happy Mother's Day to all the BRAVE mothers around the world!!

BIG DAY: First Day At School

It's my BIG DAY!!
My FIRST DAY at school....
Well, it didn't go all so bad after all....

I woke up at 7am....
Took my milk, then mummy dressed me up for this special day!!
We went downstairs to wait for my school bus....
It arrived at 8.20am....
There were many little children, just like myself...
Exceptionally well behaved and strapped into their seats....
As barney was performing up front!!
(kekekeke... Barney is a all time favourite i guess!!)

9am: Assembly.... OMG.... This assembly thing is so formal!! All the gor gor and jie jie stood in neat rows singing the national anthem and reciting the pledge!! And you know what?!? They can even do it in Mandarin!! Steady bom pi pi leh!! We even got to sing the school song..... Well, I was not even bothered by it.... I was pushing a toy truck, weaving through all the neat rows of students!! (mummy & daddy: *shake head*)

Then it was music and movement class.... The teachers and EVEN the principal were swaying to some really cool songs with funky dance steps and move.... Kekekeke... I kinda like this.... I've picked up a few nice moves along the way!! Any pretty girls wanna partner me next time?!?

Gym play was next....


Well, as you can see....
This was my favourite part of the programme....
I kept going up and down the slope,
although it was clearly not my turn yet!!
(daddy & mummy: *shake head*)
We even get to bounce on a trampoline.....
(Mummy did not get a good picture on that one!!)

Then we all went into our respective class rooms.....


Mine pretty much look like a playroom with TOYS galore!!
Although i was the newbie....
And the youngest in the group....
All the jie jie and gor gor were very helpful...
And we made friends very quickly....

INDEPENDENCE DAY!!
This was when mummy and daddy decides to sneak out of the center to have a well deserved meal....
Something that mummy has been craving for months.... JALAN KAYU roti prata!!
And even spent some COUPLE TIME....
It has been 17 odd months when ME aka the teaspoon came in between them....
Mummy prefer to call me the teaspoon as i prefer to snuggle up in between mummy and daddy during bedtime!! Oh well.... They are not actually complaining.... We love BED TIME where we all get to snuggle up together!! With mei mei aka the Espresso spoon on the way.... You can expect a CROWD on the bed!! kekekekeeke....

This was what I did when they were away....
A nice red flower for Mother's Day which is a week away.... The teacher helped me on this project....
First i put my hand on some red paint....
Press my hand on a piece of paper....
Wait for it to dry up....
Cut out the hand print....
Then roll it around a straw and staple it....
and then VOILA....
A nice nice flower for mummy...
Mummy was quite pleased with my project!

I started to get drowsy and sleepy from the medication
I've been taking for my cough and flu....
I started looking around for mummy and daddy....
BUT, there were no where to be found!!
I started to FUSS and CRY....
The teachers were very patient....
She carried me, rock me, and sang to me....
It sort if clam me down for a little while
till mummy and daddy got back....


I burst up into tears when i saw mummy....
daddy and mummy hugged me and pat me to bed.....
I totally missed out the delicious lunch time,
which was macaroni chicken soup...
and banana for dessert
as I was STILL sleeping soundly....

I got up just in time to go home!!
So up the school bus I went....
and Barney was on the same ride home too!!
It's going to be another brand new day at school tomorrow...
Let's just hope that it will be a BETTER day!!
