Ian is 4 yrs and 2 mths old!



Took some time to get these pics uploaded due to some technical fault.....anw this has been yet another eventful mth....Ian has fallen sick twice, tho we have been prep that he will fall sick upon going sch but these 2 episodes dun seem to get from sch....anw glad what used to be long drawn episode of fever turned out quite short ones this time....for a boy who is hardly down with fever, we had 2 rounds of it this mth well the 1st was really short, just half a day (after a dose of fever med he was up on his feet again) but that day we went for the Wave pool and all at Jurong pool, wonder if the water and pizza lunch caused it....anw the 2nd was almost a week later after a day of swimming in drizzle rain (which was quite chilly) at MBS and he came down with a fever which lasted a day (but he skipped sch for the 1st time coz he was down for 2 days) so we thank God for making these episodes less painful coz the last he was down with fever was a yr ago and it took almost 3 days for him to bounce back....altho this time his appetite was affected and was such a dread to feed him, guess he lost some weight due to low intake of food for a week + but he's still active and this surely made mama thank God for the boy who has never been a fussy eater and it's only this week that caused mama headache how to feed the boy who was recovering and at the same time thanking God for giving such an easy eating boy...but sure glad to send him to the sun to soak up all the energy he lost during the 2 episodes and we truly treasure good health God has granted us


Yeah this mth we brought him along for the detailed scan of baby at TMC, something we dreaded coz we know the wait there can be horrendous and whatmore bringing a toddler there but we had no choice coz our appt was 415pm and since the time daddy picked us for some errands and lunch at 12nn+ he was asking to see the baby and we kept preparing him that it was just a baby on screen coz he might be waiting to see the real one and coz of him we went there almost 45 mins earlier and with the many couples waiting there, we were a little tad too early and had to just WAIT and the boy went endlessly abt why so long...sigh anw he was finally glad to go into the scanning room and next, he kept telling the auntie he wanted a mei2 hahhaa and the lady was nice to keep telling him 'Not u want, then u can get" haahaa anw the scan turned out to be really a mei2 for him and tho he din quite get the news, we are not quite telling him in case it turns out otherwise....well alot of friends have been hoping we get a gal since we got a boy already but mama is feeling somewhat ok with whatever gender coz the prayer was really for a sibling for Ian and the prayer has long been answered with the news of the little one so we will just be contented with whatever gender so not much feelings abt it tho more prep need to be done like getting the girl's clothes and all hehhee but a gal to go shopping when she grows up does kindof make mama excited =)



This mth, we see Ian really picking up on his chinese and even written words....he will just come home and start writing some words and it really surprises us with each word he is writing...hhmm wonder if its the power of sch teaching coz mama has been trying to teach him to write but to no avail and just by observing teacher write in sch, he comes back imitating her and wala, here are the words altho the strokes abit wrong but we are so so glad it just got into him quite naturally and he's speaking more of mandarin on his own as well hhhaaa often he's doing imitating work in front of the white board of what the teacher does coz he can do clipping of books (which he got from sch that he learns to pretend reading coz we know he's just memorising them hehhee) and then calling out classmates names (yes, he rem the whole class chinese names waaaa!!!) so it's quite funny seeing how he role play and guess that's the fav pastime for him now hehhee so the whiteboard is an inspiration corner for him hahaha and whenever we are out, he will try to recognise words that he knows like 'shang, xia, yu, rou' when we get to food centre and the other day he stooped low to point a word to mama which was 'xiao xin' and it was a wet floor sign and he was recognising the word 'xiao' hahhaaa it was quite funny but guess it's time to start him recognising English words....wonder issit coz his form teacher is a chinese teacher so he's more inclined to it hhhmm but he does know his phonics for English letters but it's not kicking in as fast as chinese or maybe coz it's Chinese Kindy he's in so more emphasis with it??? Anw we are glad he's doing fine for Chinese hhhmm



Time flies, he's going for his long June break and that means missing sch for 4 weeks and wonder if he will go endlessly abt when he's going back sch but he's looking fwd to stay at po2's pl but before that we are going for a trip and he's been asking when issit coming coz its been a long awaited Aust trip and we are truly glad we could make it coz we prior booked (before the little one news come and glad it's right in the middle of our 2nd trimester which made it really possible) and this boy is sure looking fwd to more fun with animals and even touring round the place since it was 2 yrs ago since we went there and he's been asking abt taking planes and all so exciting mth ahead for him
