Ian is 4 yrs and 7 mths old!

So much has took place this mth for Ian and he's adjusting to his new role back at home. Well this last 1 week sch break was his last stay over before mei2 comes along and he was happy to be over at po2's pl (as usual!) and this time he did alot there....he completed this puzzle and did alot stuff there....well that was the wk we were anticipating our gal to come along but she din and Ian kept asking y so long...ya we wonder why too hhehee

This mth, Ian started playing with his bb blankie to be a LONG-HAIR GAL hahaaa well initially he said Rapunzel then he realised it wasn't so long so he changed to long hair gal and he started really trying to make as long as possible and then trying to comb it...sigh Ian, u are a boy leh but well we just let him imagine then....he kept asking us to name mei2 Lowell....wonder why he can pronounce the name but can't spell for us so we supp its this spelling...anw he asked y we din call him Lowell hahaa u can name ur gal in future this name lah!

Yes, day in and day out he kept asking y mei2 takes so long to be out...yes guess when we knew we were expecting, we told him how mama's tummy will grow and mei2 will grow inside and mama needs to go hosp to deliver and how he can't tag along....he has been understanding so when po2 told him he was gonna stay in hosp....he actually said NO, coz hosp for mama only...we din wanna tell him earlier there is a possibility of staying over coz we weren't sure if we could get a single ward so when ah mu told him there was a BIG cot for him, guess he was overjoyed as it meant a staycation for him esp to welcome mei2 dearest! Anw just glad to unload mei2 coz u can see mama's tummy was really huge when we tried take this pic of Ian sayang mei2 which he does quite often before mei2 came out and he tried psycho mei2 come out faster but guess it just din work hahaa

Just a couple of days before mei2's arrival, mama dug out some balloons for him to play with and he imagined some party for mei2....anw he just loves the balloon altho they were too old else mama could twist some animals for him to be 'wow' over hahaha we shall go get some new ones soon to let him play with the animals....well these balloons must be at least over 5 yrs coz rem we did bring to some church camp so it meant they were bought before we had Ian hahaa no wonder they burst so easier after pump! But simple as it is, the boy loves it all!

Last wkend, he insisted going dayi's hostel when dayi came by to bring him out and he brought back this popsicle maker and we did make some ribena popsicle which he loves it...guess its easy and cheap hahaha so it was his 1st ice cream making and he was happy...it's really ICE only I guess hahaa some thrills to make him happy with our confinement period

Ian loves to see his beloved mei2 and he loves to see it real close in case mei2 cant see him hahaaa so every morning he will wanna wake up to laze beside her....and sometimes when mama is feeding her, he will ask if mei2 can face him but tried telling him mei2 gotta face mama when feeding coz the mouth is there....arrgghh guess he's slowly understanding but he just loves seeing mei2...initially he was coughing and he can so considerate that he told mama that he's thinking carefully whether to kiss mei2 coz he doesn't wanna spread the cough to mei2 but now that he's not coughing he doesn't consider so much hahaa guess he can't wait for the day mei2 can play with him

The time of the day he loves is when mei2 takes shower.....he will be there saying 'clean ur eyes, clean ur face' and sometimes even making some band there with his tamborine and flute coz he knows he can make noise then as mei2 is most awake then....then he will busy helping with the diaper and wet wipes and everything else.....sometimes he will insist mei2 bathes first so he can be there watching....well our nites become quite short coz Ian goes wo nap so he sleeps abt 830pm and mei2 sleeps even earlier, straight after her bath!

And at bedtime, Ian has this routine of praying short, medium and long prayer so we take turns...it used to be with daddy but these days daddy has much to clear up so Ian will wait for mama to be done with feeding mei2 then we do our prayers. And Ian's getting quite lengthy in his prayers and he tries to rem to pray for everyone in his prayer...sometimes he even remind mama din pray for so and so who is not well....hhmm he becomes the prayer warrior huh....so if u need prayer, let him know....except sometimes mei2 doesn't sleep so fast and Ian might just doze off and mama just need to keep him in prayer for the day to go on well with him and mei2 at home!

This is the 1st official Children's day for Ian coz now that he goes sch and they celeb so he was so so happy to be back with so much goodies from his teachers and he came home laying them out and wanting to eat this and that and for the children's day celeb, they went Jacob Ballas Children's garden...wonder how it went and will wait for pics to be posted on their blog then....that is his 2nd outing and he enjoys going outing and kept asking mama when is the next one...guess it will be his K1 yr already...so fast another 6 wks to go and it will be term break again

This is the mth to mark Ian transiting from an only child to gor2 and he is still adjusting as we all can see and we hope we will all adjust well as this is also our transiting mth since we just had a new addition...it's never easy but we will get there with God's help....in Him do we trust! There has been alot of ups and downs in this mth but we gone thru the downs with every step of faith in God and we are sure He will lead us thru every step of journey!
