August 2006


After the morning walk, we came home and let Chloe enjoyed the morning sun in the garden.


For a while now, before tucking JD in at night, we will hold hands and say a little prayer.

It goes something like this “Thank you Jesus for the day, for my daddy, mommy and for all goodness in life”.

Lately I thought of getting him to come up with his own little prayer.

And here’s what he gave thanks for recently…

Thank you Jesus
… for the day
… for my daddy, mommy and baby

But here’s a funny but a very sweet one
… for my Aunty Wendy
… for Aunty Wendy’s hair
… for Aunty Wendy’s nose
… for Aunty Wendy’s ear
… for Aunty Wendy’s eyes

And then he repeated the whole prayer for his Wai Po, for his carers Andrea and Suzanne from his daycare

Thank you Jesus, AMEN!

The last 4 weeks have been great, with my big sista W and my mom here to give us a hand and playing babysitters to both JD and Chloe. It was great having both of you around, thank u! We have enjoyed your company and JD especially is missing his Wai Po and Aunty W.

JD asked me where Wai Po was this morning and before I could give him an answer, he was very smart to have found his Wai Po here ! He ran into my room in excitement shouting “I found Wai Po, I found Wai Po”.

We spent the rest of the day potting around at home and due to seeing us wrapping Chloe like a ’sausage’ when she sleeps, he also imitated by doing the same to his teddy too.


I found him especially helpful and understanding today. He saw me nursing Chloe this morning and went into the kitchen to give me my water bottle so that I could have a drink. At night whilst he wanted me to build blocks with him, he was understanding enough to let me finish off my dinner and quietly play by himself till I was done. And not only that, once again he went into the kitchen again to get my water bottle for me to have a drink when he saw I have finished my dinner. Sweet little boy!

And he loves his sister.


And the red house he built. He loves red! It’s funny to see how he always pick out the red colour blocks first.

Tonight whilst hubby had scotch fillet steak, I was craving more for fish. Here’s my delicious pan fried emperior fillets with a creamy parsley sauce. Delish!

Chloe and JD both said “Missing u already” to their Wai Po. JD opened up the special packet of jelly lollies from waipo and stick to his promise of just eating 2 and keeping the rest for later. Chloe enjoyed her car ride home and is now sound alseep….

And Wai Po make me look pretty this morning. See the little flower on the side, hee!

Some people have beer gut, but my mommy and Wai Po thinks I have got milk gut! Ummm, all the milk is making my belly nice and round. I had my check up yesterday and my doc was totally smitten with me coz I gave him a wink, hee! By the way I think my doc looks like Tom Selleck and ehem, my mommy nearly fell off her chair when she first met him. My doc gave my mommy a gold star because I am growing well. I have grown by 5cm and put on 1.2kg in 6 weeks!


But I thought a bit of baby yoga might also do me good. Afterall, I am a girl, and needs to still keep my figure in check, hee.


Chloe is a funny girl. She is really afraid of the cold, and we have to wrap her up like tightly when she sleeps or when she comes out of her bath. Here’s a shot of her after having the evening bath.

Chloe finds the mirror image of herself fascinating. I caught her with a little smile in the reflection.

I am not sure if it’s just JD or most kids of his age, but he seems to have very little concern for the cold. Whilst it could be hail storm, gusty wind, rain bucketing down outside enough to freeze one’s butt off, he still insists of running around in his summer clothes. My latest headache with JD each day is about what he gets to wear, from the shirt he wants down to which jocks or socks he actually prefers. Whether his jocks has a picture of a spider or whether there is a monster on his socks!The other night after his shower, he insisted on putting on his summer clothes instead of his long sleeve PJ. I tried to talk him out of it and even threaten him that the fashion police will come and catch him. Sigh, that didn’t work and see what we ended up getting!

Who knows, that might end up in some Paris Inc latest fashion, NOT!

For a while, my mommy thought I was never going to like my bath. But I am getting better each day and I am now liking it! The only thing is still don’t particularly coming out of my bath…got to still work on that.
