16-07-06 (Close Encounter)

Jamie has never seen a snail before and tonight, CQ managed to spot one and ushered Jamie to it. I have been trying to explain to her how slow a snail moves and I'm so glad that finally she understood what I'm trying to tell her :D

14-07-06 (Rashes)

It all started on Tuesday when I found some red tiny spots on Jeremy's body. Since there's only so few of them, I did not take it seriously, thinking that it will subside on its own. However, the first outbreak came in 3 days later when his body started to have many red lumpy spots all over him, including his face. As I didn't want his condition to worsen during midnight without any medication, we immediately brought him to the nearby clinic. The doctor has confirmed that Jeremy contracted hives, a common skin rashes. Thank God, after a day of application, his rashes had gone.

13-07-06 (Gardening?)

Today I asked Jamie to water Ah Po's as well as neighbour's plants. And she was wearing this new pair of flip flop slippers first time, walking like a duck, so comical !

12-07-06 (Playtime)

Nowadays both of them seems to enjoy each other company.. hahaha let's hope they will play in harmony!!

04-07-06 (Happy Birthday!)

It's CQ's bday and I thought of getting the children to take a nice photo to give to their papa later.... (too bad it din happened). But Jamie get to choose the cake for her papa.

27-06-06 (Busy w hands)

There are times with Jamie will be alone with CQ while I'm in the room feeding Jeremy during bedtime. And I particularly like these moments when she's with him.

Life Cycle

Recently I bought this little egg experiment wanting to demostrate to Jamie the life cycle of a duck/chicken etc. She had fun watching it "grow" !

30-06-06 (I Can Draw)

Jamie drew this all by herself. I am impressed! Just in case you are wondering what is it, it's an octopus wif ears, lol!!

Thursday, 29th June : Singapore Science Centre

Nowadays Jamie has been bugging me to play something with her and she seems to "outgrown" all her toys at home. So I decided to bring her to the Science Center to widen her knowledge. We didn't manage to explore all the areas and will re-visit again next month before she turns 3 (free admission for below 3, haha!!)

Keep Toys

This was re-told by our maid.... <one particular night before bed>

~~~

Jamie : Aunty must keep toys.. if aunty don't keep toys, aunty cannot go gai-gai !

Maid : .............

** Jamie is smart enough to push her responsibility to our poor maid! **

Baby Signs

It has never occurred to me that I should impart some baby signs to Jamie when she was a little infant though I am competent enough to communicate to my hearing impaired frens. To me, signing to a newborn is a challenge and little do I believe that babies will sign as a matter of fact that they are babies!!

I was wrong!

Now with Jeremy, all those "missed chance" that it didn't come to pass on Jamie, now I do it on Jeremy. I started it off with 3 basic signs, namely, milk , sleep & eat. As I do not want to disappoint myself, I did it on casual basis.

Guess what?

After barely less than a week, now he can tell me when he wants to drink milk & this morning, he was able to sign "sleep" twice indicating that he want to nap! Whippee!! Hurray!!

I am exceptionally over the moon!! So now, I'm moving on with more signs ..... :D

Jamie : 1 More Month / Jeremy : I Can Sit

Time flies.... Jamie's turning 3 exactly one month later !! Wow, and she has grown from a toddler to a young preschooler. She has acquired so much knowledge through these years and has already crossed so many milestones in her formative years. I have no regrets being able to witness all these since Day 1. Below picture showed Jamie succeeded in blowing bubbles (21/6/06)

And by chance, I found out that Jeremy can actually sit on his own !!! Probably started few days or a week ago....

Excursion

We went to the Zoo this morning at 9am with frens & their children. Weather was good and instead of getting to know as many animals as possible, we ended up spending most of our time lunching at the Sea Lion performing deck and then our usual last pit stop .... Children's World Playland ! As expected, Jamie was a little conservative to explore the area. However, after getting herself familirise with the surroundings, she was found happily playing and it she was so relunctant to leave the playground ! Papa.. shall we go again?

Happy Father's Day

Jamie did this for her papa during her 1st Sunday School visit at our frens' church today. I have been observing her from afar on and off as I was so worried that she may not sit through the entire 1.5hr. To my pleasant surprise, she was behaving well, happily playing, singing and dancing with the teachers and children. She even to the extend, tried to pacify (gave a toy to her) a crying girl whose mother had just left the class. We didn't expect her to adapt to the new environment so well! At least our hearts are at ease, knowing that she can come back again :)

Evening @ New Playground

Yesterday, CQ promised Jamie that he will bring us out after dinner to the new nearby playground. Seeing how careful Jamie moved about at the playground, we realised that that afterall she isn't an adventurous girl.

What's That?

Any clue what's on Jamie's head?

(14 June - 34.5mths old)

** it's her pants!!**

I Can Do It

Today Jeremy finally poo into the toilet bowl!! In fact, I'm suspecting that he already toilet trained cos on many occasions, he managed to urinate into the toilet bowl when we managed to catch him on the right time!

A Day Out

Photos were taken at Siloso beach & Rasa Sentosa Hotel on Sunday (4th June). Weather was good and it was an enjoyable time out with CQ's parents & siblings & nieces.

Bumbo Seat

Got this seat for Jeremy to sit upright so that he can take his meals in a sitting position.

Hi-5 Concert

Jamie went for her ever first children's concert last Saturday with her cousins, Cheshire & Lucas. It was also my ever first children's concert that I have ever watched!! During the first half of the concert, Jamie sat quietly and stared at the stage. No clapping, no dancing, no yelling..... However after the 15mins break, she resumed back to her usual self!!
