Bear and Chicken get ready for School...

What is the play about: Bear and Chicken are back! They are getting ready to go to a new school. But moving from their familiar school to a new one is scary. Together Bear and Chicken decide to join the Circus. Wouldn’t it be fun to be the circus clown, acrobat or even the lion tamer?What entails is a charming discovery that not all lessons in life are learnt in a classroom and perhaps the circus isn’t all fun and games after all.This play illustrates how sometimes our fears can be blown out of proportion but with a good friend at your side; you can overcome a potentially daunting situation like the first day of school. Perhaps school can even be fun!

Ethan's school have an excursion trip for the play above and he was very excited about it! Got up early at 730am, and set off to school to catch the bus that will bring them to the play at DBS Arts Centre. He even reminded me on the things that was asked by his teacher to bring for trip... jacket in case if its cold - check, water bottle with sling to carry - check and DIAPERS cos there is only 2 toilets at the theater - check. Hope he enjoyed it and will share with us the story later in the evening..

Caden is growing and progressing well, we measured his weight for fun and he is close to tipping the 6kg range... he is very alert being curious on the surroundings ... and we think he might just do the "flip" pretty soon... nowadays when we place him on flat ground, he will use his legs to kick and he will have his body "jerk" sideways... should be in few weeks time... here are some of his latest pix..

check out my arms' "lil mousey" and dont i look good in sleeveless? :) can see my dimple? i have it on both sides.. :) And dd said, this or next weekend and if time permits, we will go watch a movie ... How to Train Your Dragon.. :) Caden may be just a lil too young for it yet, so he wont join us..

Our first "family potrait"...

Taken this morning, our first family potrait.. Also today, Ethan's school had their Parents Day celebration and they made it into an ala-Amazing Race event, dd and i formed a team and thou we didnt win, we had lots of fun! it was a wet morning as well as at one stage it was pouring with rain, but there were shelters around, so it was alright... we came in 14th overall... how coincidental that the number is my birthdate! :) And also dd said, "it doesnt matter if we win or lose, what is important is that we did our best and had fun!"

Caden turned 2 months old ... Ethan getting rebellious by the day

Caden turns 2 months old yesterday.. he is showing traits of being a very talkative lil fella knowing how to respond ooo...aaaahhhh.... eeee.... when spoken to. Here are some of the latest pix of him in different angles and pose. As for Ethan, he is in the 3-4 years old range now, also known as the "monster-age", this is the time when a child will start to mould their character and test the limits of "how far they can go" with things... As a parent, we will need to try our best to enforce the discpline and teach the proper manners and behaviour, it is no easy task especially if your child is smart and can speak well... but guess just need to keep on trying... can easily get to your nerves at times... :P

Newborn vaccination package..

Hey all, just want to share this.. i have done my homework and this is what i discovered, good info! You will be suprised that the vaccination package (6in1) offered by Healthway Medical Group is even cheaper than the polyclinics! And if you know the GP well, they even throw in the Assesment test with it like ours. If you are keen to know more, ping me, I can fill you in on the details! :) can save alot of money lor..

Gosh! How time flies! Caden turning to 2 months old!!

The title says it all... how time flies! LNY is over... and Caden is 2 months old in a few days time! At one stage Caden was crying relentlessly at night for no particular reason, so we went down to offer our prayers to the temples opposite our house as a sign of respect. For those who knows where our house is would know that there are a total of 5 temples opposite our house. And strangely enough, his relentless crying stopped when we offered our prayers to all temples there. Certain things we just need to believe...

Caden had his 2nd vacinnation taken this week, he handled it well and did not develop fever thereafter. Our lil dear friend also showed good physical and mental development progress, being able to lift his head when lied on the tummy; able to follow movements of objects from side to side; able to recognise faces and even smile to familiar ones... smart lil fella! Also lil fella weighs 5kg plus now at barely 2 months old.. better dont keep weighing, there is a "pantang"

Ethan, our poor boy finally succumbed to the cough and flu virus his friends had in school, was down for 2 days and didnt go school. At one stage, 3/4 of his class had either the flu or cough virus. Also he has lost some weight due to that, time to "pump" him back! He has since recovered and back to himself. Getting very "chatty" nowadays too and Teacher Wendy also commented he is getting more vocal nowadays. He is also very excited about the Junior Science Class we enrolled him to, past lessons they learnt about materials; soft, hard and etc.ie Glass is hard, glass can break; paper is soft, paper can tear...

Anyways, here are some pix of both prince!

Smiley Caden!

Both of us! Caden says "hey, why keep taking photos of us??"
