Alvez went for his vaccination at 15 months for MMR and chicken pox. I was so surprised that he didn’t cry at all when the needle poked through his arm. My little boy is so brave!
Did I mention that the difference in their weight between the 2 siblings is only 500 grams? Alvez’s weight is 10.1kg and Inez is 10.6kg. My little girl is really petite and small-sized, I think some of her peers weigh like 11 or 12kg.
Just hope that the 2 kids will grow up strong, healthy and happy.
It’s been 2 weeks that Inez is off the diaper during the day time and I must say I’m so proud of my girl. She will now say that she wants to go to the toilet/potty whenever she feels the urge to pee. Once she pee, she will exclaim, “WOW! Got water come out!” Then we will praise her for doing a good job and I think that really give her a boost in her confidence, making her more inclined to say when she wants to pee.
There was one morning that she even told my mum that she wants to go toilet first before going to the market with my mum. My girl has really grown up! Ain’t too sure how she will be if we remove the diaper at night but I guess for now, I will take things as it goes.
I am embarking on Project T that has just started 2 days ago. So far, no progress as Ms Inez still pee on the floor wherever she goes. Just this morning, I witness her peeing once in the kitchen and another time when I was about to leave home for work. I can only say sorry to my helper who will be the busiest moping the floor and washing her shorts & panties.
Yay, maybe some of you who are reading this post are proud parents where your kids are toilet-trained while I am only just starting out to train my 2 year old. Whatever la, I am still embarking on another milestone in her life and though I have lesser hands on experience in this Project T as I won’t be home most of the daytime and she will be in her diapers at night, I will still be proud of her when she’s finally toilet-trained and of course a BIG THANK YOU to my mum & helper who will get their hands “dirty” most of the time.
Pls say a little prayer for us and that Inez will be toilet-trained in a month’s time? Eh, am I being too ambitious?
Or maybe you like to share your experience in toilet-training your kids or tips that you can offer to get her to the loo… On a side note, mummy has explained and even demonstrated to her about going to the toilet. 
I’m sure my smart little girl will do just well!
There are times when I need to go home on my own after work as D has to work late. These are the times when I will take bus 969 from Tampines interchange to alight near Khatib and change another bus to reach home.
There is this unspoken culture at the bus stand of 969 at the interchange. There will be 2 kinds of queue – one is the official queue and the other is unofficial queue. When the bus approach, people in the official queue will move and board the bus but they will stop once they see that there are no more empty seats. Then the people in the unofficial queue will board the bus.
When I first took the bus, I was a little irritated at why the people in the official queue stop moving to board the bus and I have since figured out that it is an unspoken culture. Since then, I have joined the unofficial queue as I just wanted to get home asap and don’t mind standing through that 30 mins journey.
If you ever need to board this bus at Tampines interchange, don’t be surprised at the 2 queues.
In my household, Mummy is always the first person whom the kids turn to every time, even though I am probably also the one who disciplines them the most (because I spent more time with them as compared to the Dad).
This is especially true when it comes to Inez. She knows when I’m angry with her when she misbehaves or did something that I did not approve but she will still come crying and wanting me to hug her even while being disciplined. If I ignore her, she will cry even louder and climb up to me and insist that I hug her.
And in the daily mundane of life daily affairs, so long as I’m around, Inez will always that Mummy do this, Mummy do that – for example, Mummy go make milk, Mummy carry Inez to bed, Mummy bathe Inez, Mummy change diapers, Mummy take toys for Inez, etc, etc…
Whenever I reach home after work, my kids will rush to the door and both will reach out their hands and Inez will say “Mummy, you come home already, shake hand.” They basically just ignore the father. Once I entered in, they will both stretch out their hands for “bao bao”. I just love that feeling!
Alvez also just love to sit on my lap and he will use my hands and make clapping sound. Occasionally, he will tilt his face to look at me and give me a smile.
I love my 2 babies!!! They make any day a lot brighter with their smile and laughter! They make me feel that nothing is too difficult and every time I can see this phrase “Nothing is impossible for God” from their lives.
These are in random order…
“Mummy, you come back already?”
“I cannot open.”
“I want to wear my shoes.”
“What happened? Why?”
“Mummy, where u going?”
“I don’t want…I don’t want to eat rice…”
“Go away, I don’t want u.”
“This is mine.”
There are still other sentences but I can’t really remember as I blog. She’s really a chatty girl & I think she is highly likely to be a I & C personality.
We took Alvez for his first haircut last week as it’s growing too long especially the side near his ears. He still didn’t know what lies ahead of him while on the way to the salon. We wanted to bring him to the salon but they don’t cut hair for babies. In the end, we brought him to the malay barber instead.
As he was not tall enough yet to sit in the chair, I had to sit on the chair and carry him on my lap. He cried throughout the haircut, he stop occasionally when he hear the sound of the hair dryer. Thank God the barber was seasoned and the whole ordeal ended in 5-10mins. BUT all his hair that was cut fell onto me… I wonder who’s the one who’s having a haircut? 
My handsome boy after the haircut.
Seeing how traumtised he was, we took him to the playground for a short while and that’s how he enjoyed himself.
Look like a toddler now instead of baby.. How fast he has grown!
