CeLebRatIOn!!!!
the infamous quote:
"i know every mother think their kids are gorgeous and i'm certainly no exception"
love the few strand of featherly soft hair...
love the sparingly tear stained eye lashes adorning the teeny-weeny almond eyes ...
love the cute button nose especially when it turn red at the tip when crying...
love the pouty lip that never fail to kiss me goodnight...love it all!
turning 2,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR BOY!
more later but before that.....
a tribal dance from Brad to celebrate...
his BIRTHDAY today :D
mummy's birthday tomorrow :)
mummy's recent promotion at work ;D

I wouldn't change a thing
on Sunday evening...
mummy was cooking dinner in the kitchen, this little BOY
cling to mummy's leg
weeping and whining
pleading to be carried
daddy came to the rescue and swept the little BOY up in his arm, the little boy
start sobbing and crying
wailing, kicking and struggling
calling out "HELP ME! HELP ME! "
daddy stunt by the unexpected reaction. mummy let out a few giggles.
(even tho' daddy and the little BOY are close to each other but when the little BOY wants mummy, there is no substitute.)
heard his little bro screaming for help, this BIG boy
came running and whacked his daddy's thigh and said,
"hey, what you doing? mummy pau-pau titi, why you go and pau-pau titi and make titi cry? WHY?"
(even tho' daddy is the big BOY no# 1 but the BIG boy can become quite protective when it comes to his little bro)
by now, daddy was totally dumbfolded. we looked at each other and laughed out LOUD!
this is our family
a little chaotic
a little bohemian
but WE SIMPLY LOVE IT!

wIser by the day
i'm bragging about my Matty today....
Matt tutoring Brad....
Matt: "titi, say buzz lightyear"
titi: "liar"
Matt: "no, buzz lightyear
titi: "liar"
Matt: "no titi, b-u-z-z l-i-g-h-t-y-e-a-r
titi: "bar liar"
Matt shake his head and *sigh*
lesson #1: it's never too young to teach
Matt tutoring daddy....
when the lights is off and we are ready to bed...Matt will turn into a chatterbox and daddy will firmly warn:
"Matt, bed is for sleeping, if you are not sleeping, you have to go outside."
a few days ago, when the light was off and we were ready to bed, daddy wants to remind mummy about something but before he can even finish his sentence, Matt firmly said,
"bed is for sleeping-ah, no sleeping- go outside-lah!
lesson #2: it's never too old to learn

his MILKY way
Brad's milky milestones or something like that...
the bottle
i found out he can drink perfectly well from a milk bottle. there was this one time, he finished off 4oz of milk from a bottle and i was all smiley face thinking "hey, finally"...or so i thought.
the fact is 'can do' not necessary mean 'will do'. he can drink from a bottle if he wants to but most of the time, he will just chew on the teats. if i'm lucky, he will drink up to 2oz of milk from a bottle but ......in 20-30 minutes duration.
the cup
i must say he is skillful drinking from a cup. he drink his water, juices and even soup from a cup. all on his own. without assistance. no more spillage.
occasionally, he will drink his MILK from a cup but....more often than not, he will resent it. strange as it may sound, he shows resistance only for his milk.
anyhow, i have do away with spoonfeeding. if he refuse to drink milk on his own, i will normally just feed him directly from the cup.
breastfeeding
yes, i'm still breastfeeding him...only per demand...he will usually demand for it...
after long hours of separation from me...as when i pick him up after work
when he wants my total attention...esp. when he try to vie it away from his big bro
before he sleeps...his habitual lullaby
when he wants me to cuddle and hold him close...playing incy wincy spider crawling up his body etc. etc.
the frequency is decreasing and i believe it's more for comfort that needs.
taken when Brad was one year old
we started training him to feed himself solid food before he is even one year old and by one, he can comfortably hold a spoon to feed himself (although mummy will interfere and help whenever necessary).
as of today, both Matt and Brad sits and eats together with daddy and mummy during dinner time (only weekend). it's not always plain sailing but i would say the hiccups are minor in comparison to the hurdle of getting him to drink his milk on his own.
*sigh* but i will keep trying...

Cry Baby
the kids crying?
no, mummy the cry baby...
i just finished watching "I No Stupid 2", a Jack Neo film and i can't believe i cried so hard. oh come on, it was embrassing crying in front of the kids but the tears kept welling up and pouring down.
my Matty extended tissue after tissue to mummy and safely kept his distance watching me... just in case, mummy might pounce.
my little Brad sat on my lap staring suspiciously up at mummy's face.
and mummy went "boo-hooo...hoo..." all the way...
seriously, that movie scared me BIG TIME. being a mom changed me BIG TIME.
it's suppose to be a comedy...duh???
