Learn thru play???





With the house flooded with toys, they are basically playing every single moment except when they eat, sleep or bath. I certainly hope what people say about "learn thru play" is true.
Recently I realised that they had started "make-believe" playing. I caught them pouring "water" from "cans & jars" into "cups" and "drink", frying with "forks, spoons and pans" then feed themselves, each other or us, pushing the trolley in & out of their "house" and went to "market" to buy "vege" & etc ... Though silly as it may be but we still join in, hoping that they'll develop creativity skill thru imaginery playing.

Bye Bye bathtub


Bye Bye bath tub ...


We had "graduated" from our bath tub to bathe standing in the bathroom. This bathtub had served us well for the last 14mths. Mummy got the anti-slip mat to lay in the bathroom in prevention of us falling. It had been quite awhile since we bathe standing in the tub cos Mummy and Aunty could no longer keep us still or sitting down, therefore Mummy decides it's time to bid the bath tub goodbye. Anyway it was getting too small for us.
Now bathing time had become shorter cos they no longer need to run the water for our bath. Very soon we might even be able to bathe together.

New toys

Mummy had burst her expenses budget for this month. She had spent a total of $400+ at the Mattel sale, $50 at Toysrus sale and $150 for the swing & slide set. All within 2 weeks ... Daddy's hearing the same old things from her again "I won't be getting anymore toys for the next few months ..., it's for 2 kids mah so worth the $$ ..., will sell off some of the old toys ... " & blah blah blah. Daddy can't even be bothered about what she says about our toys anymore as long as she doesn't ask him to pay for it.
Anyway, Daddy also enjoyed playing our toys with us.



RR with the Little People ride on from Mattel sale.

Doctor Ng with his sesame street medical kit.

Swimming at Yio Chu Kang Swimming Complex

Finally we didn't have to war with RR before going into the pool. They had been reacting weirdly at the pool for the last 2-3 mths. Refused to go into the pool, need coaxing and lots of toys before willing to just SIT by the children pool's steps and play. I remembered the 1st time we brought them for swimming was such a breeze. Changed & dumped into the floats and there they were having fun. And they had always enjoy the water till 2-3 months ago. It hasn't been the same for the last few visits which left me so "stressful" everytime we want to bring them for a swim.

Therefore today I was all geared for a war to get them in but surprisingly, all I need do was just carry them to the poolside and they walked in by themselves!!! Could it be now that they are older and walk more steadily so have more confidence in the things they do or they overcome their sudden fear of water or ... ??? Whatever it is, we had a great time today. But no pictures taken though cos Mummy forgot to bring the camera and yi yi doesn't know how to take pixs from Mummy's new phone. Anyway both like the neck float and they were able to float and paddle freely in water. They had looked like 2 young swimmers. I've decided that we should get another of the neck float. Looking forward for next Sun's swimming outing again. Will remember to bring the camera this time round.

Mummy's quite lazy today, didn't cook their lunch so they had sliced fish soup with rice from the coffeeshop. Hope it won't be too often that I do it cos still pretty skeptical about the amount of MSG they add into that bowl of soup.

Reyes' finger

If the lift door's the accused then I'm the accomplice in crime. Overlooked the fact that she'll put her hands at the lift door when it opens, her finger got caught by it and left a deep cut. The skin came off & there was blood. I panicked and carried her up immediately. Of cos she was crying & screaming profusely.
It pains me to see her finger like this. The most guilty part was she's still so trusting, hugged me and "weeped" on my shoulders even though I indirectly caused her injury.

Reyes, Mummy is sorry for the carelessness. Promise will be more careful next time.

Faith's birthday party

This is the gal that we had heard so much from Mummy but yet to meet. We were supposed to be all born in the month of Apr but we got too eager and thus came out earlier than her. Mummy told us she and Aunty J had been "talking" to each other since pregnancy time. No, should be earlier when we had Boy Boy. Anyway we finally had a chance to see one another today on her 1st birthday.
Thanks to Aunty J for having us over and we had a great time. Happy Birthday to Faith!!!



We actually attended another 1st birthday bash today. It's Aunty Pat's Azel's 1st birthday too. However we didn't have any pixs taken there cos Daddy and Mummy were pretty exhausted by the end of the day having brought us to 2 birthday parties in a row.
