Final Catch-up for 2008

Just a few photos to catch-up before welcoming Year 2009...

Little Taiko has got a passion in origami...

This is his 1st successful origami container...cum...hat (as suggested by Little Taiko)

Then, this is his 1st successful origami airplane....

after many,many tries...

Job well done, Little Taiko!

SATAY... One of Little Hero's favaorite food... What do you think?

Little Taiko played Little Chef again... Muffins!

This time I played Little Chef... Little Chef??...haha...

Every year, I cooked "Tong Yun" (glutinous rice ball) for my Little Boys and their cousins.

This year, they demanded "Tong Yun" from Walt Disney... Mickey's Tong Yun...

This is how it looks...good?? I think so...

By the way, did you notice a square "Tong Yun" below the spoon??

This is Little Taiko's drawing of a Chinese Lion Dance.

What do you think, for a 3-year old boy?

The Wan Brothers...

Goodbye 2008...Welcome 2009!

Merry Christmas 2008

Ho Ho Ho... Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

Here comes Santa Papa & Santa Mama....

How are our boys doing? Have they been good?

Santa Papa & Santa Mama decorated Little Taiko's & Little Hero's playhouse, working on it over night (after getting Taiko & Hero to sleep). That's how Santa Papa & Santa Mama celebrated Christmas during Eve.

Little Taiko & Little Hero did not notice their decorated playhouse in the morning. Maybe they are too blur...and looking forward to watch their favourite CNY 2009 Astro MTV. So, they did not notice their Christmas presents and decorated playhouse.

That's good, anyway. This will further surprise them when they get home in the afternoon. Today, I keep on telling them to be good so that Santa Claus will drop them a present. Unfortunately, Little Hero will start crying telling me that he is afraid of Santa Claus... HUH??

Children's Communication

While my Little Tai Ko was busy with his colouring contest, my Little Hero ventured to the nearby playground. At first he was alone playing the slides, swings...and....see-saw...err...how can he play see-saw alone?

My Little Hero is quite shy at times. However, this time, he managed to get others to join him. He didn't talk to the others. All he did was...stared at one of the children (to get attention) then waved and point his finger at the see-saw. The next thing is, this little che-che (sister) joined him.

You see, I am so impressed with what my Little Hero had done. Communication does not mean talking only. Eye contact and gestures played a big role in our daily communications.

Little Tai Ko is Little Chef

My Little Tai Ko is attending his School Holidays Class. On 20 November 2008, they actually played Little Chefs in school. So, Little Tai Ko prepared (not cook or baked) this Mini Pizza. It is actually ready-made pizza crust. Little Tai Ko did the topping assisted by his teacher. And this is how it looks.... I did not get to taste it as Little Tai Ko had accidentally dropped his pizza to the floor... What a waste....

Colouring Contest

My Little Tai Ko participated in a colouring contest on 14 November 2008. This is actually his second participation in colouring contest. Though his colouring "masterpiece" not up to the standard, but I am proud of him for his courage to join the contest.

I actually want him to mix around and learn to socialise with his peers. However, I think what he like most is receiving a participation souvenir from the organiser.

...and this is my Little Tai Ko's colouring work for his first contest...

Wabak...

"Wabak"... That's the answer given by the paediatrician. My Little Tai Ko is down with diarrhoea and vomitting since yesterday. No solid food gets digested as each time he eats, then he vomits.

According to the paeds, it is most likely that germs intruded his tummy. And it is only natural for his body system to remove these germs by vomitting and "low sai". We need to give him plenty of water and nourish him with glucose and 100Plus. I can understand the pain he is going through as he actually turned down our offer to buy him Rocky biscuits (his favourite biscuits)...

My Little Hero is not too good either. Our paeds in Kuantan diagnosed him for having allergic cough. As such, Little Hero is on medication and have to "pausa" on most of his favourite foods....sweets, calci-yum, potato chips, etc.

There is nothing much we can do other than BE PATIENT...
