A happy day

Yesterday was my birthday, we had a simple brunch out with the kids and a simple dinner with my mum. No special celebration and late night out but I was happy and contended. I am really thankful and happy to be blessed with a happy family and lovely friends (who came over specially to celebrate my birthday).

Back to school

Kingsley went back to school after 3 weeks of rest at home.  For the past 2 months he had stomach flu twice, suspected hfm once just because of 1 ulcer, private part infection which led to thrush due to antibiotics side effect.  And during that period his class had 3 confirmed cases of hfm, fearing his low immunity we decided to keep him at home which means I had to look after 2 kids, cook and do chores.

The first week was easy with the help of hubby but the second and third week I was all alone. I would say Kingsley is a good boy and a great helper but he still throw tantrums ocassionally and refused to nap. He will help me out with mei mei and even ask pat and ask her not to cry. I am missing my little helper when I was preparing for Gwyneth's bath time today.

I guess I will keep Kingsley home a few days in a mth to have some bonding time till I go back to work again, such opportunities are rare.

Kingsley, thanks for being a good brother and mummy's little helper.

Good job!

Chatty Kingsley

When he first started school in mid feb 2013, he can only talk word by word and not good at expressing himself. Having being to school for less than a year, now he is able to articulate himself better and have conversation with us.

Whenever we are dressing up to go out he will tell me mama wear dress nice. He even took one of my stripe dress and asked me to wear it saying that it is nice like zebra.

We are happy that he has been learning in school. I am also trying to teach and read to him more when I have the time especially on chinese.

He can engage in conversations with almost everyone when he is not grouchy.  We hope you maintain your outgoing nature. :)

Halloween in school

It is Kingsley's first Halloween in school. We didnt really buy him any costume, I remember my friend gave Kingsley a tigger  costume so I dug it out and let him try. Luckily he still can fit in it and he is willingly to wear it. (Save some money buying him new custume). We bought him the pumpkin bucket for putting his treats and some chocolates and jellies as his treats to his little friends.
