On a sunny Mon, we went to West Mall Library to meet Aunt Val, JJ and Jayron. Had ice cream and dinner together before heading to JJ's house to play. This had become our Monday ritual.
Mama's friend worked for the Chinese newspaper agency. She bought the book and thought she would write about it in the parenting column. She interviewed me over the phone and asked for some photos.
So we went downstairs and asked tong to take some photos for us. I thought Tong was quite a good photographer. That smug smile on jie's face!
asked papa to take some shots for us too. mama remarked to xun that tong was a better photographer. ha, papa always took weird-angled top-down photos...well...I supposed tong never did that as he was way shorter than us. ha
tata, the article appeared in the newspaper! It was way bigger that what I envisaged. I thought it would be a small column at the side and did not put much thought into getting good photos. We were in PJs, papa was not in the photos and wai po asked why we did not include her! laugh. well, it was really good publicity. What a blessing.
talking about puns, saw this on some fb post one day...it was hilarious
There was an upcoming movie titled "Boss Baby". It certainly seemed apt to use this to describe the little tyrant in our house, who had a flair for ordering people around. That day, we were at the playground playing with the other students from BPPS, there was a big 10-year-old jie who was enamored with jun. He lay on the floor and insisted that she did the same, to which she obliged.
The little tyke loved the waters. Big appetite for risk-taking and adventure. He would deliberately lift the float up to challenge my authority as I asked him to keep both hands on the float.
Did he resemble Squirtle? We got a nanoblock Squirtle figurine from a fair and the kids asked Xiao biao gu to assemble it. Little Jun overheard us talking about Squirtle and went into Xiaoshu's room to bring out the Squirtle soft toy.
Taught him to put both hands on his cheeks when we asked him to pose.
He loved all things pretty and dandy, especially jie's accessories.
He even put on her crowns.
and used her bags..
he had a fetish for bags, baskets, trolleys, anything that could be used for carrying things and pushed
oh and the siblings' card tags too
could not imagine life without this little cutie pie...he had brought such joy to us and our extended families
This 16-month old was already scaling stairs and climbing structures at the playgrounds...and could steadily walk down stairs without using the railings sometimes...he was definitely one intrepid explorer...hmmm perhaps he would start soccer at 3?
well, the brother loved to get dressed in matching attires...he was wearing jie's sunglasses...
life could not be sweeter with these three munchkins...
Parent-child bonding day at Arise...I supposed I would only send Jun to school when he was 5. Not only to save money and avoid the logistics challenge of having kids schooling at two separate places...I thought he would fare better from modelling after the big ones...well, he had a headstart in brushing teeth, he was allowed way more leeway in many things...
well...wishing that the kids would grow up sooner and pining for the younger days...what a contradiction. heh heh heh .
