Things Jerry says #4 – the power of negotiation.
Things Jerry says: The negotiator I can’t emphasise how much this kid amaze me all the time. I know that I said it many many times, but I guess I still need to say it mainly because I am so proud of him (or annoyed!) and it is a moment worth recording down. And mummies are always proud of their little one, however small an achievement because to us, they mean the world. A couple of days ago, this kid isn’t on the best of behaviour. He refused to comply to any instruction and we were rushing out of the house for a party. I needed him to sit in…

Jerry starts drinking – KAMPAI!
Like father, like son. Jerry starts drinking young (haha! I meant to dig at the husband!). Over the weekend, we had dinner out one day in a restaurant and this funny kid of mine suddenly decided that with every single sip of water, he needs to kampai! Its super hilarious and entertaining to watch and we heard giggles from the tables around us. The best part? He insisted on finishing the cup water (punctuated with a kampai at every sip) before we can leave. It was one of those days where i wasn’t in a hurry to go anywhere and i just indulged in him and let him have…

All set for CNY with FOX Kids and Baby!
*Sponsored post with Fox Kids and Baby* Honestly, the CNY mood has yet to descend on me yet. Did somebody say Chinese New Year is just 5 DAYS away? There are so much chores to be done in the household still and i think we wont feel much of a festive mood since the husband is the kind that wouldn’t want any CNY decor in the house. We are pretty much busy bees this weekend trying to cram in last minute stuff – hair cuts, change of bedsheets, packing up the messy bits of the house, and getting ready the red packets for the new year. But there is one thing…

My little Jerome turns ONE! Happy 1st Birthday!
Exactly a year ago on this very day, i had the most bizarre gynae appointment ever, which landed me in the hospital for child delivery WITHOUT the husband by my side. Unthinkable right? and fast forward today, my little chubby baby koala turns ONE! Has it really been *ONE* year already? It went by in a whizz and i can’t say i remember much of it. Having 2 kids really takes up a lot more of your time, and i have been slacking on his development milestones. Each month, i meant to write, and ended up postponing the post, or having a half written post in my draft folder and…

Things Jerry says #3 – the little traffic conductor
Things Jerry says – the little traffic conductor We have been teaching the kid about traffic lights since a long time ago.. when he was still in the stroller and I used to push him around everywhere. I believe in empowering him with the knowledge from young so he doesn’t run across traffic lights and know the basic traffic rules, right from the moment he understands me. I’m paranoid that way. Part of the reason is that i used to have a really really smart classmate in primary school and one day, he didn’t check for the cars while crossing and got hit. He was in coma for months and…

Parents Teachers Meeting for Jerry.
Parents teachers meeting or teachers parents meeting? I can never ever remember which is which… but i guess it doesnt matter anyway. You guys know what i am talking about right? Towards the very end of last year.. Der & me went for our second PTM. Well, what we heard isnt surprising – he has a very comprehensive vocabulary for his age, can understand and speak most of what the teachers and everyone else is saying, but have a issue with following instructions (HA!) and routines. his gross and fine motor skills are shining through as well and he loves to play with wooden blocks and puzzles , but i…

Things Jerry Says #1
The kid has been sprouting sentences and arguments like an adult and he surprises me every single day. Like… woah! Where did he learn that from? and since its a brand new year and a brand new blog, i am going to chronicle his funny conversations in numeric order. I know i posted some before previously, but i guess i’ll start counting somewhere. Over the holiday, before we headed out for lunch.. der went to his bonnet and did some engine servicing. Jerry & Jerome was both strapped in the car before der went on to do his stuff. Jerry: Why isnt the car moving and where is papa? Me:…

Polyvore – All about Kids’ Fashion with FOX Kids & Baby
I can’t tell you how thankful i am that my kids clothes are sponsored by kids’ fashion brand FOX Kids & Baby. FOX Kids & Baby clothes are one of the more affordable fashionable brands in the market and i totally love their shop accessibility – I can find them in most of the malls that i hang out at! It’s been a couple of months now and each month, there is something new on the shelves to buy! We have amassed quite a bit of stuff so i thought.. i could do a polyvore styled collection! Except that i’m too busy to take individual pictures and put them together so…

Things kid says.
The hfmd cases in Jerry’s school has spiked to 7 cases. The husband and I decided we are going to keep him away for a while, just for the safety measure so he is going shopping with his nai nai today since a distant relative is in town. and while we were leaving the house earlier.. This little kid really makes my day. (while I was closing the door and locking up, the husband walks to the lift lobby and asked jerry to follow.. ) jerry goes, “wait! papa wait! wait for mummy to lock the door!!” he stood firmly beside me while I quickly locked up.…
