missy and her tutu

when u have girl, u can never resist the temptation to shop for cute cute clothes. I have been buying not only toys.. i like to shop for clothes and accessories for missy. maybe cos i always see how other mummies are dressing up their little live doll. so when missy come to this age, automatically i will do the same.


We are going to a wedding next week, so i will let missy to wear her tutu, which i have bought last year, it's for 4 yo, so mum helps me to tighten the waist for missy. else it will slip down if missy move too much heee.. then i went to BloomB to get her the white lace sleeve shirt, simple, but the little details is what im looking for. and i got her some accessories like necklace and bracelet. cute cute. and and i also got her a new shoes.. which i love it. this is the type of shoes i like to wear.. but of course i wont buy pink for myself.. but for missy pink is her colour !





the complete look with the shoes. and also the ribbon clip.


shall take more photos when she actually wearing it next week.

by the way, she is now weigh at 16.5kg 96cm and she is wearing size 27 shoes.- at 35 months 2 weeks old.

Missy and her lantern

missy was born one day before mid-autumn, we always say, just in time to carry lantern :0)

last two years her popo bought her battery operated lanterns. this year i bought her paper lantern which i remembered carrying it when i was younger. i wanted to let her see the traditional lantern with candle inside.

i bought one pack of 5, as i thought, missy surely will burn some as she may not know how to handle it. but hey, i was wrong, she is able to carry it without burning until the candle burnt completedly.

we have our lantern walk at home with lights off. next week, i shall bring her out at night to carry it.


Happy mid-autumn !

missy and her green bean plant

last week, SM sensei gave us a image play on plant, to see how plant grow. and we were given one small clear container with two green bean seeds, we are suppose to moist the cotton and give the seeds sufficient sunlight and see it grow into a plant.

and so we did. actually, i just get missy to moist the cotton, then leave it at our balcony, remind maid to shift it under sunlight during day. and i forgotten all about it until wednesday.. when i revisit it, it has grown into a plant already.

tt's quite easy actually. so i explain to missy on the process. and she is quite caring to the plant.. cute.

there is a spree selling the same concept items to grow a plant from seed, come with pot about 8 dollar plus. i almots bought it but mum said missy might not appreciate it. so now with simply green bean seed, we already learnt the seed grow into plant lesson. cheap and hassle free.




so, we shall bring the plant to sinsei tomorrow.

didi on potty

is it too early ? yes, of course. but to mum, she thinks it's cleaner to poo in potty than in diapers. so each time, didi make the poo-ing sound, she will quickly put him on the potty .. she did the same for missy last time, maybe tt's why missy is toilet trained quite fast. some of her peers, at 3 yo still on diapers. i guess these are those with parents who dun bother to toilet train their toddler? no wonder the diaper size can go up to XXXL.

didi and his potty. well, that particular day, didi din poo a lot.. just that tiny bit.. heee.. now didi is on rice cereal and one or two feed of formula, so his poo is more solid.

missy also ecited when we talk didi's stool on the potty..

didi on walker

didi likes to stand on us when we carry him.. his leg is quite strong, so we thought maybe we can try and let him exercise on walker..and hey, he indeed is ready but we still think it's too early to use walker, his back might not be ready ? so we just let him on once ot twice a day for 5 minutes or lesser.. he will move by kicking and the walker will move backwards each time.. he seem quite happy with the new "toys" as he will smile and appeared very excited each time we put him on.

but he still cant stop exercising his mouth.. he bite the chair too.. mum have to sew a piece of clothe on it so that it's not too hard to bite.

didi happily on his walker..

My precious

i love to see them together like this.. wont get tired seeing these photos.. they have become my handphone wallpaper, screen savers.. i printed it and put it on my notice board, it's everywhere that i can see.. love them so much !

Babies and Sesame Street

i wanted to keep this ..this was taken sometime in early august.. when the two were caught lying side by side watching sesame street on Sunday. cute.

Didi likes to see sesame steet too, as he will turn to look at Elmo whenever his session starts.. haa.

Sand Art- Barney the purple dinasour

Few weeks back we saw the sand art in shopping centre, it is is $12 per piece, which we thought is super expensive. Lucky we did not proceed on that day, as missy is crying, wanted to play with it. the sales pady keep pertering us.. which i hate.
most !

Today i saw the sand art at ntuc at just $2.90 so i quickly ask misys choose the pattern she likes, of course she chose parney over Dora..

so we had our first sand art with her favourite charatcter- Barney !

Here we go..

Missy is so excited and curious on how to get started, i guide her along, get her to help me to peel the sticker.. then pour the coloured sand onto it.. then clear the sand after we completed one portion..



She is following me throughout till we completed the whole picture. the final product was fantastic .. the background colour was a mixture of all colours we have left over. haaa.



i have showcase her work on her art area. she loves her barney !

Toys and more toys

I've added more and more toys for missy lately.. i've stop buying toys for some time,during the period when i was carrying didi. now im back to work and i have time during lunch break, so i shop and shop.

Usually i will only buy from toysrus, kiddy palace and ELC. i wont buy from heartland shops or grocery shops, which mum will do that. as i somehow think bigger shops carry safer toys.. i may be right though, as the recent news about toys having too much lead causing health hazards to children surfaced. most of the problematic toys are those sold in smaller shops. ELC is said to have safer toys eventhough they charge higher.

k, last month, i got missy this cash register, well, i saw some blogger mummy got this for their kids and i wanted to get this for missy for some time. so finally i found this nice one and on offer some more. great deal. from toysrus. it has the converyor belt, credit card sweeping, calculator, cash keeper, the scanner with beep sound.. very real. and of course notes and coins. missy keeps them in her pink bag.
she really engrossed in this.. for that 3 days.. after that she only take it out for awhile then ignore them.. well..i think she will revisit ? at least she will tell me "mummy, same one " when we went to supermarket and she observed the cashier with the cash register.



I just bought this stamp set last week, i almost got all of the melissa & dough wooden toys now. This also from toysrus. i just let missy chop for fun . she already knows her alphabet from A to Z.. so slowly i shal teach her to form words.. now i show her how to spell hr name first. she somehow knows it's her name after seeing it, cos in school their things are labelled with their name.



i got didi two hammers.. these are hammer with sound effect.. just for fun la.. cos it's one for one.. pay one price get two.. hee..didi only interested in chewing..


I think there isn't any other toys i have in mind anymore..I always believe children learn through play.. so have fun buyh=ing great toys for our children !

Baby in Black

This is how they look like when they put on the gymboree sub glasses that i got for missy.

haa.. these photos make us smile..

Lil feet

Last week, sis and mum went back home town, so i was home with didi. what we do ? we just play together.. haa.. i will exercise his limbs by letting him pulling his socks sucking his socks.. wresling with his pillows and grab everything and put into his mouth..*eyey rolling*

see..he even pulling my hand and finger to his mouth.. he likes to grab his socks this way.. roll up like a ball.. and pull his shirt up high and expose his round round tummy.. see how happy he is



so, mummy just snap snap snap away .. he is curious with my camera.. no flash of course.. se how she show me his pigu




so, mummy and me.. not easy to snap this.. cos im holding my camera in one hand..i kiss him.. he looks like he is kisisng me.. but actualy he is licking my face.. shake head.. thinking im tasty maybe




CUte little baby..i cant wait to see him grow up !

Happy Teacher's Day

missy brings flower for her teachers..

Missy Arty Arts

It's been a month since my last post of missy's darwing and painting and we haven been doing much art work together..

So, here are her painting/drawing and our art work together in August

This is her flower.. actually im impressed with this.. it does look like flower with petals..



these are her another form of drawing.. she told me.. she is writing.. she like to write like scribbling the third picture on the left..on papers and calendar.. i ask her what is she sriting she said she is writing a b c..so imagine my calendar full with her "writing"




I get missy to do some pasting for me.. we are making numbers on stick..



missy very hard working on her tasks.. while didi busy playing on his play gym.. haa.. love to see them together


we have completed our numbers on stick.. missy matching each number to her block number.. she is very good at matching already.. now i get her to say the numbers out.. she is better now.. she can recognise most of them but confuse with 6 & 9 and 8 she keeps saying number 8 is letter B. mm.. quite similar wor..




SO, one useful activity completed on weekend.

Milking my way

now it's 5am in the morning and im awake, writing blog.. yes it's not insane, i just cant sleep after expression milk for didi. he is sound asleep after his 450am feed. lil missy is also sound asleep beside me on my bed, while the father on the floor.

recently, i again cant sleep after feeding didi in the wee hours..always lie there for so long..by the time i think i start to sleep, it's time to get up..so today, since it's weekend, i just get up and get few things done..

i like the queitness.. cool..

well, i have successfully breastfeed lil Jared exclusively for the first 6 months of his life. Now, i still continue to breastfeed him, but no more latching on, because just after he turned 6 month-old, he started to have 2 teeth (lower incisor) and he started to bite whenever i latch him on.

so, i just express the milk out and bottle feed him. eventhough forum/fren said baby should not bite when they suck milk, cos they r not using their jaw/gum, they r using the cieling of their upper mouth to press on the nipple.. and i should tell bb not to bite.

I tried many time, when he cry for milk, i latch him, he will stop and give me a good bite and when i tell him saying "no no, cannot bite mummy, else no more nen nen for u" he will smile at me.. I even tried when he is in good mood, latch him on, he still bite.. so gave up.. i have phoabia even.

i guess, it's good enough, 6 months of exclusiveness.. haaa. my pumping schedule as below now


7am - pump before go to work
11am-1130am- pump in the office
3pm-330pm - pump in the office
730pm-8pm-pump at home
2am-3am pump at home ,then bottle feed didi - i can pump up to 200ml to 240ml

Each time (except the early morning pump) i can pump out 150ml-180ml

my milk still enough for didi, more than enough. as now we gave him one feed of rice cereal, and i feed of formula milk.

didi is able to hold his bottle now, i still use glass botles, so usually i will help him hold a bit in case he drop and break it.



so, shall see how long my milk supply can last since im just expressing and no more latching. from fren's experience, this way, milk will reduce very fast and no more.

I hope i have given didi the best food of his life . the maximum i can accept for breastfeeding is one year. cos i think no point continue too long. he will need more iron than calsium.

Didi weight on 26 August is 8.5kg , almost similar to July's weight. but his chubbiness tells all. no worries !

Happy growing up my boy !

Missy's 3rd Birthday Celebration

Am still thinking what to do during her birthday.. ok.. i;ve already got her a birthday gift.. her daddy is going to buy her a bicycle.. and we have decided to get number 3 swenson's ice cream cake .. but we have yet to decide on the pattern of the cake..

i have yet to decide on what to buy for her friends in school as birthday favours..yes, this year we will celebrate her birthday in her school, which i have already inform her teacher since May. last year we did not do it cos missy is not feeling well on that week of her birthday. as she had just enrolled and often got sick that time.

hope i can finalise on her cale design and birthday favour by early september :)

Feel more excited than my girl for her upcoming birthday.. hee

Rub a Dub Dub

Didi still loves his bathing time .. i like to take his picture once awhile to show how he fill up the tub.. haa.. now, he is longer than the tub.,. but mum find it easier to bath him using this tub than a deeper one.. so we continue to use this, while didi kick and kick and sometimes his leg will stay outside of the tub.. haaa how adorable..

it's getting harder to bath him now, as he has the strength to twist and turn.. like when we wash his hair he will turn his head down and make us wary the soup/water will go into his eyes/ears. so have to grab him tightly when rinse water.

Bundle of joy

Nothing beats spending time with my little ones..eventhough tiring as need to entertain/play with missy while attending to didi

but, feel contented after end of day.



wonder why missy nowadays take photo will squeeze her mouth like that.. cheeky!

Missy first National Day :)

missy's school really have all the ideas for the children to enjoy their national day celebration, they make bread with honey stars to forn a flag... they make flags from their art work..




which missy proudly shown to us..missy can sing national anthem, pledge.. which to me, im still havent fully picking it up, as im not sporean.. haaa..

Missy wearing red and white (well, i just get her to wear this dress instead)

posing hapily before she went to school last Friday :)

Shopping Online

I have been buying missy's & didi's clothes from Spree (shared by mummies) from Gaps and Gymborees and recently Ralph Lauren.

i find buying via spree is faster, convenient, and cheaper as we all shared the shipping and now with the lower USdollar, we can shop hippily.

But my last Gymboree spree wasn't quite happy cos the mummy somehow said Vpost charged a higher weight for our total purchase, so i have to pay 30 bucks (SGD)just for delivery whereas for my gaps purchase i paid only about 10 bucks (SGD)..so, in total, for each item i bought for gymboree, is about SGd12.. mm.. not very cheap la.. but im quite happy with my purchase.. haa.. cos we cant get Gymboree from Sg, missy used to get her gymboree from San Francisco , which was hand me down from her cousin, which she never met and some bought by her grand aunt or grandparents when they visited there..

so, this timewas the first time i actually buy it myself.

I bough some nice shirt for missy and didi.. and a pair of jeans for didi.

besides clothing, i bought some accesories like hair pin, which are really cute, wuth animals on it like the one in the photos.. guraff and elephant.. i even bought socks.. which have fish prints..



and another accesory that i love, a gymboree spectacle for missy.. she looks cool in it.. i let her wear it during our swimming on saturday.
