Jacob Ballas Children's Garden

This morning we went to Jocob Ballas Children's Garden at the Botanic Gardens. Arranged this with Rachel and Jasline some weeks ago. The weather was good (and hot). The boys (and daddies) had a wonderful and fun time at the Tree House while mummies sat under the shades chatting away ;p. We had lunch at CA California at Dempensy Road.

Hi-5, Hi-5

Sebastian has been crazy about Hi-5 for the past few days. Every morning when he wakes, it's "Hi-5, Hi-5!". When he returns from school, it's "Hi-5, Hi-5!". He even refuses to watch Pocoyo, Barney and Mickey Mouse! I could even hear him shouting "Hi-5" last night 20 minutes after we left his bedroom. Hahah...

I love yogurt

Yogurt is probably Sebastian's favourite snack. He likes yogurt more than ice-cream! Whenever we dine at Jack's Place or Eighteen Chefs, he always gets complimentary ice-cream but it always becomes our dessert instead. But he eats homemade ice-cream though ;).

I tried making yogurt last night but the texture is not ideal (too much milk!). Nevertheless, Sebastian likes it and finished it :).

I love shower time!

Sebastian is really funny when coming to his bath time. When I tell him it's time to 'go pong pong' (bath/shower), he will really make a big fuss and refuse to have his clothes taken off. However, when he's in the bath he will refuse to get out!

We have been giving him shower instead of bath for the past one/two weeks and he loves it! He loves to turn on the tap and stands beneath the shower all by himself. He's great with water, not scared at all when water splashes on his head. Thanks to the training since he was about ten weeks old! Yes, it sounds cruel but I didn't want a screaming toddler in the shower when I try to wash his hair or pouring water down his head.

Look at his in the shower! Can you see the tan on his arms and legs?

Mummy's little helper

Sebastian loves helping to clean up (or I call it mess up) around the flat. Wiping the table, picking up pieces and even washing up! I gave him a little bowl of biscuits with coloured toppings (which I used to eat when I was young) after his yogurt. After he finished, he gave me the bowl and I left it on the floor (yes I did!). Guess what he did? He took the bowl and brought it to the sink! Then he saw my magic mop and here's my little helper...

Bye bye mummy

I always stand outside Sebastian's class and watch him for at least 20 minutes. It's not that I can't bear to be away from him. I just LOVE to watch him with the other children.

He danced along as the teacher played O-zone's Dragostea Din Tei. It's must be the children's favourite song!

After the morning dance finished, I told him that I was going off and most of the time he would just look at me and ignore me. But today as his classmates, Jervis and Kate were waving bye bye to me with their arms high in the air, he did the same too :). And they couldn't stop! haha....

Snail

This morning when I sent Sebastian to school, 李老师 told me about this snail they used for the class yesterday. Apparently he was the only child in his class (5 of them) who was brave enough to touch it :). Like mother like son ;p. kekeke...

Muffins and jelly

I baked some citrus yogurt muffins while Sebastian was napping.

So Sebastian had a mini muffin for his afternoon snack.

After dinner, he had raspberry jelly for dessert.

Verdict :-

He likes muffin and dislike jelly (?!). But he loves playing with the jelly though ;p.

A cut on the chin....

Received a call from Ms Ng at noon informing me that Sebastian fell and cut his chin! Ok, I'm not a panicky mum so I'm quite relaxed about it but I did make a point to text Dave to inform him.

When I went to fetch Sebastian, he looked happy. I asked if he fell and if it hurts. "No." he said. My brave little boy :). Ms Ceclia said he lost his balance while he was trying to crawl towards her.

Time for No. 2??

Yesterday morning while I was preparing breakfast, Sebastian came to me and took my hand. We walked a few steps away from the stove and guess what he did? He patted on my tummy and said "baby"! I was like ?? I wonder if it's time to have no. 2? Is it a sign? hahaha....

Weekend ritual

Every weekend, Sebastian LOVES to snuggle and get cosy with us on our bed after he has woken up. So this is how we look like when we first go up ;p.....

I'm 27 months!

Sebastian turned 27 months 2 days ago....

Flu vaccine

As we will be travelling to Hong Kong next month and to give ourselves a peace of mind, I decided to enquire about the flu vaccine at the local GP. However, they have run out of stock! So I decided to go to the clinics around the neighourhood to enquire. Luckily the first clinic I came to have stock (just arrived this morning)!

So off we went to the clinic in the afternoon. It was crowded and we were no. 7 in the Q.... Sebastian was a bit cranky (I suppose it was his nap time), couldn't sit still and had to touch everything in the clinic! He made so much noise as I made him sit on the bench. Finally the clinic assistant directed us to a small room to wait for the doctor (so we jumped Q!). Doctor appeared in less than 5 mins :). She asked me to hold on to Sebastian, so that he wouldn't struggle too much. I gave him a small packet of marshmallow to distract him. Well, I must say he is a very brave boy! No fussing at all. I thihk he didn't even notice it when the doctor administered the vaccine. Thanks to the marshmallow! While we were waiting to pay, I asked him if it hurts, he said "no...."

He was tried when we got home....
