A Good Father

Each of us has our own definition of "GOOD". To me a good father is someone who:-

1. makes every effort to play with the child

2. sacrificing his sleep for his son - eg waking up for his night feed , wakes up to put back the pacifier into the child mouth , fan the child when the child is feeling extremely hot

3. makes sure the child favourite toys are being washed before he comes back for the weekend

4. being bullied by the child (hahaha) eg : climbing a long fleet of stairs up on the hill whilst carrying this gem twice over a day.

In simply, he might not be very rich, he might not be very well-educated, he might not be able to bring big bucks home now & he can even postphone playing his favourite hobby - computer games. BUT he spends every quality time with his son.

没大没小

Ethan, Mommy say I am glad you have a good father !! What's more can I ask for?

18 months development

Being 18months old he is still barely walking. I am unsure if it is pure laziness or the slow development in the brain. But he is definitely not a whinny good boy sitting still. He crawls like an itsy bitsy spider, climbs like a gorilla, shouts & screams like a whining boy. People around me had been telling me boys are slower in developments. I wonder how true these statements are. But nevertheless thank you for these assurances.

Am I cool?

Developments of Ethan @ 18months

1. Able to recognise pictures of apple, orange, potty, dog, cat & any food - he will say "mummum"

2. Daddy's boy he is - shouts , yells & screams for his father - papapapapaa & all my neighbours will know that the weekend boy is back.

3. Able to identify at alphabets like A, B & C with some mumblings


4. Call "yaya" despite meeting his grandpa once a week - supposed to be "yeye"


5. Favourite hobby - watches singalong CD & raises up his hands like dancing
I have to admit I like & hate TV. On one hand children will grow to addictive of TV if the parents allow the child to be exposed excessive TV. On the other hand, it does help them to learn children songs.

6. Diaperless in the day - knows how to say "hmm hmm" either to poo or pee. Sometimes he is just playful "hmm hmm" all the time. Most of time he wants to pee. At times we ignore his "hmmmhmm", we end up having to clean the poo on his pants.

These days we enjoy kite flying at Marina Barraage. Even Ethan is soo obessed with the kites in the sky. He will go "wow wow wow". He likes it when we allow him to play with the water at the water fountain ..
