• bedtime games.

    1, 2, 3, FLY!!!! jerry has been rather delightful to play with these days. he talks soooooo much, we sometimes find it amazing!   I have glow in the dark stars stuck on my room’s ceiling since my secondary school days and the stars have been there for like forever. when the lights are off, I sometimes show him the stars and have him count.    recently, we have developed this ‘touch the star’ game where the husb will carry him all the way up and let him touch it. he chooses the stars he wants to touch.   he goes.. ‘papa! papa! touch the star!! pink star please!’, ‘big…

  • playset of yesteryears @ raffles place

    in commemoration of 50 years of greening singapore, the national park board introduced a roving installation called ‘Playset of the Yesteryears’ . Or otherwise in my own words, known as old school playground because it features play equipment that were popular in the 70s and 80s (my time!). so when i first found out about it, i had to check it out just for reminiscing sake.   the playset features a variety of swings (my favourite!), merry-go-rounds and see-saws installed on a bed of sand (oh, don’t you miss this?). i brought jerry to check it out, but honestly, i think i was a lot more excited than he is. …

  • sunday morning swim.

    we packed jerry off to a swim on sunday morning. its been a long while since we brought him to the pool.. thankfully, he can still fit in his bumblebee suit! looking really cute and no idea where he is going.. mega excited once he sees the pool and kept running towards it even before we got ready. *splash* his neck float doesnt quite work anymore.. while it still fits, it wasnt able to hold his weight and he kept drinking water. we need to get him a new float soon! he also refused to sit in the other float and just wants to waddle/jump around the pool! me trying…

  • good friday play date.

    the bestie’s family and us headed out to jacob ballas children garden on friday morning for some water play. the last time the 2 kids met, jerry was still very young! we wanted to hang out at the sand pit first but jerry was immediately attracted by the sprays of water a distance away and ran towards the water to play!   it was before i could even settle down (i.e. find a shady spot) and *poof* he was gone along with estelle’s plates and with daddy chasing after him. this kid, he really loves playing with water. filled with smiles.. it was extremely tough to capture adequate pictures of…

  • one of the ways to wind down your hyperactive kid…

    in the comfort of your home. I went out and bought a baby pool for jerry. been toying with the thought ever since he turned 6 months but didn’t buy in the end because it was quite expensive, my mum is against it (she thinks its another useless thing to own) and I managed to convince myself that jerry will soon outgrow the pool and that the public pools have loads of space for him to waddle around instead of this.   thing is, every trip to the public pool in the past always land jerry at the paed, because he always catch some germs/bugs or a cold thereafter. its…
