jerry test drives his car!
when jerry turned one year old, my cousins-in-laws bought a really huge toy car for him. back then, he was really terrified of it (omg! this thing moves and jerks!!) so we had it parked at my in-laws’ place. jerry only sees and play with it at the corridor when he pops over on the weekends. his love with all things car has since grown so we finally got our act together and brought the car out for a test drive at bishan park last saturday! i find this sight really hilarious. the car fits perfectly in der’s car boot. there was an empty car lot beside us in the…

conversations with Jerry
now that jerry have better comprehension of the stuff i say, it’s quite fun to talk to him (or frustrating, depending on how you see it). these days, he is also fighting sleep and stays awake till midnight which is quite a torture for der & me.. because when he falls asleep, jerome wakes at about 1 plus for his feed and we are usually pretty zombified by then. the other day, while i was battling sleep time with jerry in the dark.. c: hey jerry, can you go to bed? its very late already. j: uh..uh.. (no, together with shaking of his head) c: you don’t want to sleep?…

another bloody affair.
i thought my last entry about jerry is bad enough.. and then last night, this happened. he was chasing a ball and playing with daddy when he slipped and fell face first and hit the floor. he started crying immediately and when der fished him up, it was a bloody mess. my heart almost stopped. my mum ran to take some sugar to sprinkle all over the bloody area, while i went to take my phone and snapped a picture of him before proceeding to quickly clean him up. i know right, my priorities. for a moment i thought he lost a tooth or something with the amount…

i see blood.
i meant that literally. this evening, jerry as usual is testing his limits with his surroundings. i have totally given up on how monkey he is or can be. it must be my active genes or a boys thing. he was playing by himself by gently knocking his head against the wall. he found it super funny. my aunt tried to stop him but he just did it more thinking it was really fun. i was in the next room checking on my mails when i heard was a loud cry and i found him crying non stop. so apparently, he swing and whacked his head really hard against…

big brother jerry.
i was trying to grab some bites of my lunch earlier and didnt have my eyes on jerry since he is with his toys in the living room and babytv on tv for his entertainment. jerome is sleeping on the sofa. my mum was in the kitchen and when she came out, here’s the sight that greeted her. he took jerome’s half finished bottle of milk that was left on the table and tried to shove it into his mouth, all on this own. i swear this wasnt staged and i was still munching on my veggies when my mum called me. i happen to see jerome flashing a…

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…
