Things Jerry Says #19 – But it’s just TV!
The family were hanging around in the living room one night, and the TV was on with National Geographic channel being turned on (I’m a huge fan of nature-related documentaries by the way). The scene was showing a tiger hunting its prey and devouring its prey and I thought I wanted to take the opportunity to educate Jerry while he was watching it. Mummy (M): Jerry, look at that. What animal is that? Jerry (J): TIGER!!!! (excitedly since he knows the answer) M: [screen flashing tiger tearing off flesh of prey] What is the tiger doing? J: He is eating the la-lamb… err.. i dunno… (trying to describe the prey…

Things Jerry Say #18 – I am not a bad guy.
If you haven’t already know. This kid is obsessing over Transformers right now. He has been going on and on about Optimus Prime trailer toy for the loooooooogest time, talking about it every single day and somewhat drove me nuts. I can’t quite believe how persistent and single minded he is for this toy. He talked about it every day, requested us to buy for him all the time, grabbed it every time he goes to the store until I gave up and started on the concept of being on good behaviour to earn the toy himself. He’s probably too young for this at a few months past 3 years,…

Things Jerry Says #17 – Footboard.
I should really blog about Things Jerry Says” more frequently. The kid really says the funniest things all the time. Some of which, is beyond hilarious. So, today’s post is about the footboard. Do you know what is a footboard? Honestly, I didn’t even realize that the word really exist, because we hardly use it. So, this happened last night when I was putting Jerry to bed. As usual, he isn’t the sort that would just go down and sleep. He will wiggle and roll in bed and do all sorts of stunts in bed, before he can actually drift off to sleep. One habit of his that I totally cannot…

Things Jerry Says #16 – Falling in love.
It’s been a while since I updated with a Things Jerry Says post! It’s not that he hasn’t been sprouting funny things, but I was too preoccupied with surviving life that I haven’t dedicated much time to blog things down. I have quite a number of drafts sitting around, but I wanted to share this first! Recently, we have been asking Jerry about his school and his classmates, and naturally, out of curiousity… we asked about the female students in his class. Like who is the prettiest etc. One girl always stood out. Her name is Rachel, and we know that Jerry is quite fond of her. So one of…

Jerome’s 1st swim!
As 2nd time parents, I honestly think that we are tardy in some ways in exposing Jerome. Jerry had his first swim at 5 months, but Jerome only went for his first swim last month when he is 17 months old. While there are many factors that lead to this, the key reason is… having one kid is so much easier to manage, especially with 2 pairs of watchful eyes. Here’s the truth. We weren’t as confident in bringing 2 kids to the pool by ourselves especially when they both are so young, and basically not easy to handle (i.e. super active). And then, the kids just keep falling sick one…

Celebrating the little men in my life with Pumpkin Patch Kids.
Have you guessed who I am talking about? Of cos, I’m talking about Jerry & Jerome. While I haven’t looked, they both have grown so much. Jerome is almost the same weight as Jerry now (just a few hundred grams difference!), blabbers a lot with a few clearly recognizable words like 水 and neh neh. He can speak a lot more, I caught him a few times saying stuff that blows me off, but at this point in time, my poor brain fails me. He’s still shorter than Jerry, but I think he will surpass Jerry very soon and is very much his own person. Totally different from Jerry. He…

Things Jerry Says #15 – I will fight the mosquito!
For some strange reason, both my kids have been attacked by a lot of mosquito bites lately. I am guessing that the area around my mum and mother-in-law’s place is infested with mosquitoes and the kids have been coming home with mosquito bites. I personally hate mosquito bites, they are so itchy and they sometimes can itch up to days and more often than not, they leave a mark behind mostly from scratching, and sometimes, the skin just turns darker at the site of the bite and the legs looks spotted. Today. Jerry is complaining about the mosquito bites on his legs and I wish I can do something for…

My very own Harry Potter!
I’m such a Harry Potter fan and i’m so excited to announce… I now have my very own Harry Potter! We sorta have an accident in the household just 3 nights ago and this is the result of it. What happened?! Well, here’s what. At the strike of midnight, Lord Voldemort came into my bedroom and attacked him! I heard a thud, and then loud, shrieking cries. I’m joking. My dear son, was asleep beside me and he suddenly ROLLED off the bed. It was so dark and I quickly got down to pick him up and thought he was crying a lot harder than usual. At the same time, I…

Unfortunately, there was > 5 fishes dead, and i was really sad. Jerry is pushing me and trying to get the best view of the aquarium as well when the following conversation took place.

(Burst out laughing while looking at…

Things Jerry Says #13 – Greedy kid wants chocolate.
Things Jerry says #13 happened on a day when we were all at home chilling and just not doing much. Daddy emptied his pockets and left a $1 gold coin lying around our dinner table. We never thought much about it but Jerry appeared in front of me some time later.. J: (shows me the $1 in his palm) can you open for me please? C: Huh? Open? What is there to open? J: Can you open the chocolate please? C: (after 2 secs of silence) Orrrr.. jerry! This is not a chocolate coin! This is the real money! J: Mummy, but.. I want to eat. *insert sad face* Totally funny.…
