2016 Birthday Celebrations

29 June 2016


Gracing towards to late thirties already!  Boy.  What's the biggest achievement over the past 35 years?  #becomingmomofthecutestsonontheuniversal  LOL!


Over the weekend had first round of celebrations with the folks at home.  ah Thiang bought live prawns and crabs for dinner (the ones nearby sold out their live prawns so he has to travel back to Chin Swee outlet to get them...) and aunt Joyce ordered some expensive famous durian for deserts!  #yums


Both of us took leave for some we-time to celebrate my actual birth date... feasting oysters, foie gras, lobster and steak (ALL my favourite food), birthday 就是要吃好料的嘛 and went two rounds of massages before the boy knocks off from school!  Guessed now we can only do lunches, brunches or tea date when the son is at school... and back homie, MIL whipped out bowls of chicken mee sua top up with 2 BIG eggs for dinner and singing of birthday song by the boy to end the day.  #contented


Oysters feasting in progress - we ordered like 3 rounds???


My lunch date decked in my favourite prints!

 
Back home, this little boy #curlyfries singing birthday song and blowing out the candles for me...

Growing up with Nathaniel; Week119-126

02 June 2016
 
Week 126!
 
Progression for now is self-feeding and I have bought many many many disposable bibs on standby so he won't mess up while he is on his mission to self-feed.  LOL!  Next step is to continuing to brain wash him not to wake up for milk in the middle of the night.  So far only been whining probably due to the hot weather not as in waking up to ask for milk.  Hope my sleep-thru-the-night dream will come true soon...!
 
Milestones from Week 119-126;
 
  1. Nat nat says: "no need wear diaper", "itz too hard", "ya is coconut", "吃饭", "苹果", "你好", "我的", "冲凉"
  2. When putting 爷爷's driving license and Snr Citizen ezlink card side by side: he says "same same, I show you..." but when he took out the NRIC (apparently the younger version of 爷爷) he will call out the man in the NRIC as "Uncle" cos he thinks he's another person - 7/4/2016...
  3. He sees our eyes and says "Mama has black eyes, Papa has brown eyes and black hair" - 7/4/2016...
  4. Papa bought him new Leap Pad but he looses interested after playing for awhile, so Papa took over but he refused to share his new toy so he join Papa play and lie on the floor and says "so sad" - 8/4/2016...

  15. Week 121 - we learn to negotiate; if I give in to his request to either iPad time, or play train track before bed time and when I say "times up, time for milk, let's go to the bed..." he will gladly follows...
  16. Week 122 - requests to play a round of train track before bed time... Our usual routine upon reaching home is "wash hands, wash legs and drink milk sleep", now he will says "wash hands, wash legs, play train track!"...

  18. Came running into the kitchen where I was preparing his lunch and he says "I luf you" and ran away - 14/5/2016...
  19. We were playing the Dunlop Mickey Mouse bricks and I poured onto the floor mat and he says "keep, wait other people step, step pain... play on the bed!" I  and told him no, it's messy and cannot dirty the bed, he then says "play on the sofa!" - 16/5/2016
  20. My son is a 流氓, he bites a new classmate C's right arm (left a deep teeth mark) who is transiting from Infant Day class.  Teacher called and inform about this incident and explained that she was sitting on a chair and Nat though she took his chair and so went bite her. He was oblivious of what's happening or he knew he's in trouble but he acted like none and showing he's very proud of biting other people.  He was shouting "I bite people I bite people" when I was entering the house. I have to cuddle him down and explain what he was doing is wrong bcos he was distracting us from the TV shows and the surroundings... 避开话题! After rounds of brain-washing what he has done was wrong, we went down to school the next day and made him apologies to C who was also looked unsure of what has happened - 19/5/2016...

He actually asked for milk (2/6/2016) and this time I turned him down and he 乖-ly went back to sleep... usually he will start crying until he gets his milk... I think he is ready to sleep through the night!  #dontjinxit
