Cuteness overload.
these days, i get entirely smitten by my chubby meatball and totally can’t get enough of him. every day when i get home from work, i just want to go cuddle this squishy big baby. he’s totally not helping me because every time i go near him, he flashes his toothless grin and immediately burst into chortles of laughter. It’s super infectious, i tell ya. the laughter. instantly makes my day a good one or turn a good day into a fantastic one! I can’t quite imagine that he is turning 5 months in a week. he can totally flip both directions now from his back to the front, sit…

Jerry is the gentleman.
the other day when the fight happened, the husband and me were in discussion on the topic while strolling to the nearby mall to grab some necessities. and the husband went…. d: i think jerry is quite the gentleman. c: why? d: because… 君子动口不动手。 (literally translated as “the gentlemen uses his mouth instead of his hands” but meant to mean that the gentlemen would reason rather than fight) c: …… *roll eyes* d: ya what! he didn’t hit other people what. he bit the girl, so he used his mouth right? please tell me it’s a pain to deal with my husband sometimes. we sorta concluded that the fight must…

at 25 months (2 year 1 month old), it happened.
jerry fighting in school/childcare. I expected this would happen someday because boys would be boys right? but at this young tender age? *in disbelief* I dont quite believe that jerry would bite anyone unprovoked. and someone 3 years his senior? he must be freaking upset or angry. he has a huge scratch across his nose and it looks pretty deep. I hope there wont be scars. I am sooooo gonna go to the school tomorrow morning to find out what happened. ******* p.s. yes. I call my husband “my angel”. you can laugh. im perfectly cool with you laughing at me. Posted via LiveJournal app for Android.

and jerome flips!
some time earlier this week, my mum reported that jerome started flipping when I came home from work one day! he has been on the verge of flipping for a while and that morning, when my mum was skyping my aunt.. he flipped. and my aunt was pretty estactic to have seen it first-hand (via webcam) and witnessed this major milestone of his. I felt a little left out and bummed that I didnt witnessed it myself cos I was at work. then again, its something that all full time working mums would have to grapple with so im definitely not alone. looking forward to his next milestone!…

fitting in, at childcare for Jerry.
its been a month since jerry started childcare. I went to peep at him on Friday and was happy to see that he is finally blending/fitting in at childcare. from the kid that is always away from the pack and in his own world, he is now able to sit with his classmates and join in the class activities. I am soooo proud of him! it might have been a mighty small achievement but it means so much to me. to us, as the parents. and to him, as a child adapting into a new environment. as I was leaving the premises, I bumped into his class teacher…

my way of keeping my hyper kid at bay.
I really don’t have the energy to catch up with him these days.. in a bid to keep his hyperactiveness at bay and still keep him occupied with some activity, I put him in the baby chair outside at the corridor.. and armed him with an apple. if possible, dress the baby in old clothes. my son isn’t in old clothes but he has been munching on the apple before that (he grabbed it from the coffee table himself and started munching on it before we realised what was happening) so I just let him be. look at the mess he created. but surprise, surprise! he devoured 3/4 of…

Jerry is ONE month old!
And a few days, because I am terribly late with this post. Time really did fly in the last one month. Before I know it, the confinement period was up and my son turned one month old! Dear baby Jerry, it’s been an eventful one month thus far! From your first few moments in life, all stark naked and blood-stained in the delivery room, to having all your measurements taken with daddy companying while mummy is still being stitched up. Your crinkly bitter gourd face when bundled up, as if you are telling the nurses that you want to be cleaned up. Mummy’s first picture with you, just at the…

of party woes
i really should have known better. after all, i organized that many events in my job but i didn’t do any prep work for the full month party until it was wayyyyyyy too late. *sigh* ok. it was also coupled with the fact that it was major adjustment on my end with my new role as a mother grappling on all baby-related issues, rolled together with all-time fatigue that i am feeling. man, it’s exhausting. besides, the man aint helping. he left everything to my device, didn’t help source or suggest anything at all (other than to provide the defacto venue suggestion) and didn’t give much comments even when presented…
