7 ate 9 ...

One evening while tri-scootering in the condo compound ... he stops ...

O : "Mummy, why is 6 afraid of 7 ??
Me : emmmm ... I don't know baby ? (and pretends to not know this joke) ...
O : cos 7 ate 9, 7-8-9,7-8-9,7-8-9 !!! (+ proceeds to shriek with laughter)
Me : Oh, I get it ! Good one babe ! 7 must have been hungry huh?

Ofcourse I was talking to no one then, cos all I saw was O's back as he scootered away.



Amazing what they learn on tv nowadays, huh?


Happily reporting the mundane ... till later, N

Happy TWENTY-TEN peeps ...

first up ...

wanna wish all of ye a wonderful year ahead ....

as you make plans and resolutions ....

here's me wishing you all the best ....

i have been holed up @ home with kiddo ...

he was to start school on wednesday ....

unfortunately, mr.bug found him on tuesday ...

he was down with fever and a sore throat since ...

and wouldn't want to eat anything ....

even his all time weakness - chocolate ice cream ....

i was at wits end ...

kiddo was not hydrating enough for my liking ....

so i asked him what he wanted to eat ...

he told me "my spicy noodles" ....

wanna guess which is his favourite instant noodle ?

nissin spicy noodles ....

i know some of ye may be shaking your heads at this ....

but i was desperate ...

i know for a fact that kiddo would down loads of water ...

if i gave him spicy noodles ...

so i cooked the noodles ...

removed the soup (too pedas lah) ...

and prepared a cup of cold ribena ...

you should have seen the speed at which he gobbled the noodles up ...

and drenched the fire on his tongue with ribena ....

he asked for another helping of noodles ...

and asked for a ribena refill ...

:) :) :)

he's much better today ...

fever hasn't shown itself since this morning ....

and ...

as i am typing this ...

he has eaten 2 pieces of peanutbuttered bread ...

a tub of grape yogurt ...

a yakult ...

and ribena !!!

dare i say kiddo is on the mend ?

hope i don't jinx this ....

fingers crossed and a prayer ...

oh ...

have some photos to share with ye ...

O, even with raging fever ... smiling and playful ...

that's him blocking me from taking a photo of a new LO ...

this is the LO i managed to sneak a photo of ...

done last sunday ....

shows typical kiddo behaviour ....

in constant motion ...

O-boy's Birthday !

warning : picture heavy post :)


we celebrated O-boy's birthday last Sunday

little missy (on the right) giving him directions on
what to do after singing the birthday song
is my niece KA ...
if anyone needs a birthday song singer ...
this girly is the one to hire ...
thanks A for the best birthday song ever :)

O being cheeky ...
trying to get at the chocolate balls
even before cutting the cake !!

that's him ...
chomping away ...
did I mention .. anything chocolate is his favourite :)

highlight of the party (well not for Unc Fahm's)
was the pinata ...
all the kiddies had a go...

whack !
whack!
whack !

in the end hubs had to really give it a bash
to crack it open for a huge load of candy
to fall out ...
then ....
it was scramble time ...
kiddies scrambling everywhere
collecting all the candy goodies ...

post party family photo with O's pressies

thanks Auntie Aya and Uncle Fahmi for
coming to Sg for O's bday bash ...
..
..
..

made this layout for O as he turns 3

close-ups

journaling: O is monster-liciously charming,
cheeky and very happy !
he waited eagerly for his 3rd bday...
had his party ...
and now can't wait to be 4
so he can have another
birthday party !


thanks for dropping by !

hugs, N

5 days shy ...

O-boy is that many days shy of turning THREE !

sorry for not updating my blog sooner ...

been a little busy preparing

for O's birthday ....

ole mummy here was rather ambitious ...

i set out to make his party packs, invites, birthday banner

and a bunch of other crafty stuff ....

soon i realized that it was too much an undertaking

so , i discarded the invites ...

i was left to do his banner and party packs !

phew !

banner took a few nights ...

glad to report that it is completed ....

all "HAPPY BIRTHDAY OMAR KOH EE" !!!!

double phew ...

now have to think of how to hang the banner come Sunday ..

next, came the party packs ...

i must have made approx 50 of those packs

half for his party and other half for his

classmates from MG and LW ....

being a total novice at party planning ...

i had to do a little scouting

of what items to place in the packs

being ever so mindful of not

loading it with too many sweeties ....

heee .... i kept the sweets to minimum (sorry kiddos)

cos i remember cringing when i saw

what was in some of the party packs

O-boy has received in the past ...

so ... party packs made and packed ... checked !

kinda felt guilty for not providing much

interms of sweets for the party ...

i mean what's a party without sweets rite ?!?

ole mummy then had brilliant plan

of getting a pinata as part of the

kiddies entertainment

..... and guess what ???

last weekend O-boy, hubs and me

had a good time stuffing the pinata with

LOADS of sweet gooodies !!!!!

promise to post pics of the day

made this layout sometime back

only had the chance to load it today

love the photo of O-boy

living loud and so totally like him to have

his tutu in the mouth and

my green hairband as headphones !

Thanks for dropping by !

loves,

N

made some teacher's day cards for O-boy's teachers

Thanks for looking :)

2 years, 11 months, 2 days ....

and we finally got our king sized bed back ... all to ourselves ...
heee ...
O-boy has moved out of our bed and into his own room with his own bed ...
transition has been quite smooth ...
no tears or meltdowns (both him and the mummy)
few hiccoughs though ...
he wakes up me up and drags me to his room ...
and when he falls asleep again ...
i sneak off back to my bed ...
this is repeated 2-3x these past 3 nites ...

so, if you spot a panda-eyed woman travelling from bedok to buona vista ...
that will be me ...

no regrets though ...
we (O and me) are learning to be independent of each other ...
all part of growing up ...

but, how i miss his warm little body next to mine ... sigh ...

on a brighter note ...
the layout i submitted for MWL's mid month challenge by Pooi was
chosen as this month's winner ...
the one with O-boy and the tub of nutella ... hee ...
a very nice surprise ...

i am looking forward to the long weekend ...

thanks for dropping by ...
