Ethan is in Pri 1

Ethan doesn't seem to know it, but it is a big milestone to crossover from childcare to Primary One. Soon after we left him in his classroom, we went off.

Apparently, after he came back from his schoolbus, the first thing he told me was that he had lost some of his coins into the Eco-pond. He said he was trying to feed the fishes with Pocky, but dropped the coins instead while trying to handle too many things in his hands. Fifteen cents he said he had lost, to the fishes.

Well, well...wonder what other stories I will hear next time.

Happy New Year 2009

We attended parties and gatherings with old friends. It was a time of reminiscing and a time of reflection. Picture attached is SG's 26th MIDS batch's Sweet 18 reunion.

We spent New Year's day at McDonald's for breakfast and went for some playground time nearby.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Having your hands and feet sculptured

Well, it's a tradition for us to have the baby's hands and feet sculptured and mounted in a frame. So, here is a pic of Thaddeus having a mould put over his hand, and the output is a nice sculpture of his hands and feet, which I will post later in the blog when I get the frame.

Thaddeus was co-operative and seemed oblivious to what was happending, as he was woken up from his afternoon nap to have the work done. The pink 'clay' used smells very much like the kind that they use at the dentist's to have your teeth mould taken. It's harmless and feels cool when I touched it. It was really easy to do. The uncle who did it just mixed powder to water, and spread the stuff over each hand and foot, and then, made sure that they are firm enough to hold the 'impressions' of the hand and foot prints.

Great fun for mummy and daddy to watch. Don't know what Thaddeus was thinking, though.....

Thaddeus is 'Crawling'!

Thaddeus is nearly 3 months' old now, and he is able to use his feet to pivot himself around the bed. It is no longer safe to leave him lying on the bed without bedside protection, since he is fairly mobile. He is now able to move 360 degrees in one location, as well as move from one side of the bed to the other.

Our First Halloween Celebration

This is the first time we saw the inside of a Pumpkin. It didn't look like what I imagined it to be. It was quite hollow with lots of seeds. Ethan and Zack had some fun cleaning out the seeds from the inside, while I had a 'kick' from carving out the face and making the Jack-o-Lantern out of it.

Otherwise, it was quite an uneventful Halloween.
