Young artist at work





Bought the Crayola crayons for them while waiting for our Thomas the Train Aquadoodle to arrive. Reyes still didn't have a chance at it while Reyden enjoys doodling all over my old mahjong paper.

Days without bottles

Days without bottles should be near for Reyes. Had gotten the Dr Brown training cups for them. Reyes started to take her morning milk feed in that whereas Reyden will just suck & spat the milk out. Will probably wait for few more weeks before introducing the cup for Reyes' night feed as well & I can throw away half of our milk bottles "collections". The other half will have to be use till Reyden decides he too wants to drink from a cup like his Mei Mei.

Family Day!!

RR's post:

It's Aunty Aida's off day again & we had a great day of family time including wai-po & yiyi.
Started our day with breakfast at Macdonalds with wai-gong & wai-po. We had collected 5 Happy Meals toys so far & Mummy says it's getting too much so we didn't take ours today.
Went to Fairprice Xtra to get a beach set for sand & water play & off we went to the Yio Chu Kang swimming complex! It was so crowded on weekends & Mummy told Daddy it's better to bring us there on weekdays but a pity Daddy can't always join us on weekdays.


I'm ready!!


Wait for me! I need to do some warm ups 1st.


Ok, I'm ready to go off too!



Gor Gor, you are still afraid of the coldness after all the warm ups???


Daddy, I can handle on my own.


Daddy, see? I'm taller than the depth of this pool.


Who's touching my new toys??


The water's too cold for me, think I'll just stay here & play with my toys.

March Babies Birthday Bash!!

We attended a March Babies Birthday Bash at Gogobambini today. Thank you to Aunty Charmaine for organising this event. It turned out fun & great. We've been in this SMF mar thread for quite some time but due to a busy schedule, we weren't able to meet most of the mummies in the thread. Today was the 1st time we seen Germaine/Clyde, Joelle/Seth, YY/Teng, Pearlyn/Jaden, Fion/Vanda, Yvonne/Bel, Elaine/Anthea, Shirley/Dylan, Ginny/Fabian, Shanna/Tiffany & Xiao Wei/Jayden. As for those we met before are Charmaine/Leia, Jenne/Legolas & Michelle/Keira. All the kids enjoyed themselves including RR. They've got a pressie each too.


The thorn among the roses?

All around Singapore

I've been bringing RR all around these few days. Not only that they are tired out, Mummy's drained out too. Nevertheless, we all enjoyed ourselves but no pictures taken cos Mummy had forgotten to bring the camera along & the camera in my phone isn't too clear.

It all started on Mon morning at Pasir Ris park. They had their 1st feel of sand. Reyes enjoyed her feet being buried under the sand whereas Reyden enjoyed throwing sand on himself, Yazmin, Danial & not sparing me as well. There were the swings and activity panels which caught their little attention too. They liked running & playing peek-a-boo around the panels. Apparently both piglets were tired from all the running, both dozed off peacefully in the car on our way home.

I packed them off to Yio Chu Kang swimming complex in the late afternoon seeing that the weather was good for a swim. The children's pool is ready after the renovation & it's great with the water play & slide. But poor R&R didn't have a chance to try the slide cos Mummy's a scardy cat. Never mind, we shall go with Daddy on Sun & Daddy will carry them down the slide with him. Reyes had always enjoy herself in water but Reyden will need some warming up 1st. I'm looking forward to the completion of the Anchorvale's pool. It'll be so much nearer to our place.

Then came Tuesday where we went shopping at Compasspoint. Got quite few stuff for them. Haiz ... my 'sickness' is acting up again.

And Daddy isn't working today so off we went to Gymboree with Danial/Yazmin & Cayley/Austin!!! The last time we went was a disaster cos of Reyden's crankiness. Today he was a happy, chirpy baby.

Recalling the 1st time Aunty Fi brought us to Gymboree was the time when both of them couldn't even flip or sit. And after a period of 8mths, today, they could climb up the slides, throw a ball into the net, push the big ball, crawl thru the tunnel & could even 'run' around!! That's how amazing kids' developments can be. I look forward to the future with them when they start to walk freely, talk to me, shop with me, cook with me & etc. But at the same time, I missed the times when I had them in my tummy, breastfed them, held them in my arms, rocked them to sleep & ... That's the dilemma all mummies go thru ...
