Toys for Double Cs

A laptop and artswork for Cayenne & a handphone for Cayden
Cayenne was very happy to play with her new toy. But she also enjoys playing Cayden's handphone. Cayden got pretty upset that his sister kept taking away the handphone from him. Kept screaming away. Haha...

Cayenne's 1st Arts & Craft Work

After our perth holidays, I brought Cayenne to Seedlings Learning Hub to make some enquiry and the teacher invited us to go for a trial. It was quite fun looking @ how Cayenne listened to the teacher and doing what the teacher instructed her.

There were only 3 toddlers including Cayenne. There was one toddler who supposed to come but didn't. One toddler was at the same month age as Cayenne while the other was only 20 months old.

I think Cayenne behaved quite well in the class while the 20 months old toddler refused to listen to the teacher. I told the mummy that once her boy reached 2 years old, he would get better. Cayenne was like that too. Once she turned 2 years old, she behaved quite well and can listen to instructions well.

After trial, discussed with Dennis about the pros and cons of attending this course. Decided not to as it was quite expensive for the course. 3 times per week, 1 and 1/2 hours for 1 term (10 weeks) cost $675! Haven't even included the registration fee, materials fee, uniform etc. And another push factor of not letting Cayenne join the class was the toddler who was same month age as Cayenne, was actually the son of one of the staff there. From what I observed, the teacher spent more time with him & after lesson ended, her colleague asked about how her son was doing, the teacher kept praising her son. Well, I didn't like what I saw or heard. I kinda of feel some bias-ness from the teacher.

Anyway, it was a good trial for Cayenne. ;)

So nice to find this kind of swings around in Singapore! It was my generation! Hah...



"Zoombie" face after his nap

OMG!

*Heartpain*!!!

Darling Cayden had his 1st fall from his cot!

Incident :

He was having his morning nap as usual in the room while I was reading to Cayenne in the living hall. Suddenly I had Cayden crying and his crying sounded unusual. I quickly asked my helper to go into the room to check on Cayden. When my helper opened the door, I could hear Cayden's crying really sounded different from his normal crying. I quickly carried Cayenne up from my laps and ran to my room. My helper told me Cayden was on the floor! ;(

I quickly took over from my helper and consoled my little boy. Normally at this kind of critical moment, Cayenne sure would start her nonsense. She started to make noise, cried abit and asked me to carry her. I said to her, "弟弟 has fallen from cot, let Mummy carry 弟弟 first, ok." But she simply refused to listen. My helper took over again and I could see or feel that my boy needed me and wanted me so much to carry him.

I scolded Cayenne hard. I told her if she didn't want to listen to Mummy, Mummy won't want to carry her. After that, she let me carry Cayden.

Sigh... Don't know if it is because boys are more active.

I really got panicked and started to search for the playpen that Dennis's friend passed to us. It was in the storeroom. The playpen actually was already damaged. One of the sides couldn't hold up, had to use a pole to support. Last time, Lily used a pole to support the playpen for Cayenne.

Seriously thinking, think Cayden won't be safe if he is always in walker either. Think the best way is to put him in the playpen. Was thinking of getting a new one but then, Cayden is approaching his no. 1 soon. After that, he will be walking. Think he won't want to be trapped in the playpen. Kinda of waste money if I buy the playpen for about 2 months' usage.

Dennis told me to use the cot instead during day. Put him inside with some toys. I agreed. Quickly asked Dennis to fix up the cot again. Put the mattress to the lowest. So that, Cayen won't be able to climb over the cot railings. OR will he? ... ... ...

Mother Day's Celebration? Fat hope!

Why I said that? It was because it was time for dinner so 顺便 celebrated for me. Haha... But it was ok, I didn't mind at all.


Kept asking Cayenne to look @ Daddy's Iphone to take a picture but she purposely did the opposite!
Our terrible dinner.
Comical Conversation between Mummy & Cayenne.
Mummy : Baby, tomorrow is Mother's Day. Quick, say Happy Mother's Day to Mummy.
Cayenne kept quiet and drank her water.
Mummy : Baby, baby, say "Happy"
Cayenne : Happy.
Mummy : Mother's.
Cayenne : Mother's.
Mummy : Day.
Cayenne : Day.
Mummy : Oh thankyou, baby.
Dennis and my helper laughed. ;p
