ABC Fridge Magnet

23-Nov-2007 Friday - Vernon boy now is an expert of ABC alphabet. He can spell A to Z and he can even read by jumping randomly. He surprised my sister's family the other day when we dropped by her house, they have a floor mate that come in ABC Alphabet character from A - Z. My brother-In law randomly pointed to the alphabet. Vernon can easily read every single alphabet without fail. And last weekend I brought him home to ah mah house, he said out loud from A - Z to ah mah & ah kong. Both of them surprised, same for the whole family included my sis-in law, my brother & koko & che ches.

We thought of he love to read, so we put up the magnet alphabets for him to play around.

Kids Sticks

24-Nov-2007 Saturday night when we went to grocery @ Jaya Jusco. I found these kids sticks (cheese sticks) that come in a pack of 6 which pretty fit for Vernon boy. This is a product from Denmark and it contains lots of protein, vitamins in it. I like the packing and it's so easy for kids to take & bite it.
I recommend this to all mothers. next I 'm going to try on another dairy product from New Zealand. looks nice too. will keep u all update

Yakult drink

24-Nov-2007 Saturday night when we grocery@ Jaya Jusco Qbymall. There's a lady promoting the yakult drink, I get a cup for Vernon boy to try on it.

Since he love it so much so we decided to buy a pack home.
In fact, on sunday 25-Nov afternoon Vernon took one bottle from the fridge and finished it in just a minutes and handle the bottle back to me. When I open the fridge he ask again, and I told him one per day okay. luckily this little boy still accept it and just walk away.

He cannot stand me anymore, as I have been grumble him for about a week ago, I told him I wanted Vernon to have his 1st x'mas tree up. Though we can't find the real one here for him.
After deciding where should we put up the tree, I & James decorated the x'mas tree & move around the living room till middle of the night. We wanted to give our boy a morning surprise. Well, Sunday morning as usual he woke up as early as 7:15am. and he always ask to take off his pampers, i think he must be very uncomfortable after the whole night wearing it.
Vernon : Mommy want pencil. ( i knew what he want - his crayon and drawing pad)
Mommy : No till u finish your bath and breakfast okay.
Vernon : Just walk out from our room.
Mommy : Vernon mommy have a surprise for u today, come with mommy. He hold my hand and we walk out to living room together.
Vernon : When we saw the X'mas tree. the 1st word he say is "美美" means Beautiful hoh....hoh
I & james thought that he might detroy the ornaments, out of our expectations. He enver get near to the trees and touch the ornament. He just watch by the side........................................till tonight.

New Hair Cut

24-Nov-2007 Saturday morning we decided to bring Vernon boy to have his another hair cut. we went to the nearby India barber shop that we used to go. There's a customer having his hair cut. Vernon boy was looking around the place and still can climb up & down the chair. When he saw the barber put the stool so that Vernon boy can sit on it.
I told the barber to use the number2 so that it won't be too short & too long. Vernon boy start crying non stop till the barber finish his hair cut. I knew it's nothing to do with the hair on his face, he just don't like the India guy to touch him.
See How handsome i am now........and at least I don't felt so warm with my short hair. don't u think so???

The cake taste nice, however it's just a bit harder than we thought. Vernon boy also have a small bite of the cake & taste of the vanilla coffee. He then cannot sit there, want to walk walk outside.

So we went to Gurney Plaza, After finished our dinner, we pass by Toys'R Us.....and off course Vernon boy won't miss it to pay a visit to his favorite toy store.

Artistic boy

17-Nov-2007 Saturday - To make Vernon boy fill up his spare time@ home other than playing his toys. I & papa came out an idea, what is the idea??
We bought him the drawing papers from popular and gave him a box of crayon. We transfer the crayon to a box which only contain 6 standard colors. We want him to learn the std color -Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Black, & white. The 1st time Vernon boy in touch with the crayon, u can see how exciting his face shown. He draw line with crayon freely and he ask me & James to draw some of his favorite cartoon and alphabet as well. U can see the paper was full of words & lines & characters. From day onwards, early in the morning after he woke up. The 1st thing he asked for is pencil & books. He still cannot differentiat pencil & crayon, he thought all can write & draw are call "pencil". and Ee Po gave him a pencil the other day, so whenever Ee po called up, he will told her "pencil" Ee po.......................means he want her to bring him pencil....lah.

Noodle house@e-gate

10-Nov-2007 Saturday - This is a Saturday night where I usually don't cook at home. The most difficult part lately is I & James have to crack our head to think of where should we go for dinner. We always have difficulty to find a place for food, i think the main reason is sometime we tired of going too far just for food. We prefer to go somewhere near our place and can get home early.
I told papa that there're some brand new restaurant in e-gate where offer varieties of delicious food.
About 6pm we headed to e-gate,we then park our car right in front of the Old Town restaurant. And walked around the place to see which menu we would like to choose. At the end we chose "Noddle House"................
We were sit ted in the 2nd table right in front of the bar and Vernon was place in a high chair while Kakak wati fed him his fish & rice. Off Course we ordered the noodle house specialty "won tan noodle" When my won tan mee is served, Vernon boy insist for the "mee mee" and the crunchy won tan.

My Keyboard

MIL always wish that Vernon boy have an interest in music, she want to train him to be good in singing and dancing. So that Vernon boy can accompany her to go dancing & singing class. She already asked around her friends and singing teacher where can bring Vernon boy to learn singing and dancing a few months back. MIL told mommy that when James was young about Vernon's age, he love to sing@home everyday.

This is why MIL always wish that Vernon boy follow his papa foot step. Well, we found that Vernon really have some of papa 遺傳that he love music so much. Whenever he hear music, he will start dancing and lately he start to follow MIL to sing. Off course not the whole song but a few words from the song. MIL was so happy seeing her grandson capabilities and friends of her always 讚美 Vernon's is a smart boy. When we were at home, Vernon will follow the cartoonese dancing or playing his keyboard. He can play the keyboard by pressing on/off button & the different sound button so well wihout our help.

Boss@home

Lately James & I wondered where Vernon boy learn to sit like a Big Boss. He love to put his right leg up on the other. We cannot move his leg down, he will scream at us if we try to do so. Not only this....... if his kakak around or feeding him, what he likes to do is......he will put both of his leg on his kakak's leg. We tried to tell him not to do so, even though his kakak don't mind to. We knew our boy want something to support on him and I think he just want to have some fun with it.

Vernon boy saw that yummy chicken rice and insisted mommy that he wanted chicken rice. Kakak is very nice to share some rice to Vernon boy, we requested the seller to provide us a small bowl together with a spoon. Kakak thought that he want to feed Vernon boy b4 she took his lunch. However this vernon boy want to eat by himself, I am very happy to hear that as lately Vernon boy pick up to eat by himself pretty well and at least when we went out for lunch or dinner. He will ask some food from us unlike last time. His favorite now is chicken rice or plain rice will do for him. He will enjoy himself very much by himeslef alone. and we can enjoy ours till finish our meal, he don't make any noise and sit on his high chair quitely.

Down with Mild Fever

9-Nov-2007 thurseday - Tonight MIL send Vernon home, as usual I cook dinner at home while James playing with Vernon boy in the living room. After Prepared the dinner, I went to take my hot bath. and b4 we started our dinner, I will usually ask Vernon boy whether he would like to join us for dinner. I went to the living room and hold on Vernon boy, I felt his forehead and body was a bit warmer than usual. I told James he might have mild fever, didn't u felt that since just now. Papa say "no".................immediately I took the thermometer to measure Vernon boy. Oh gosh!! Vernon boy had a mild fever@ 37.3'C but he still Ack actively like normal. So I am not so worry, just gave him the paracetamol that I kept in the freight will do.

The fever was gone 1 hour after taking the medicine, so I thought it's ok not to give anymore during the midnight. However, the fever came back soon after 6 hours (it's about 3pm middler of the night). I hold his body and felt warm again, I quckily gave him the paracetmol without given him any food. I am so worry will it cause his stomach anything or not. Since his stomach was empty. I was not able to sleep well the whole hight, too worry on him so wait till 5pm. I quickly gave him some milk milk as very soon I need to gave him another medications.

Come to morning about 11am, he took his medication and went to have his morning nap. about 1pm. His fever totally gone but I still given him the medication worried that the fever will come back again.

Block Nose

8-Nov-2007 Wednesday night Vernon had a seriuos block nose. He woke up every 2 hours during the midnight, he can't breath and make him difficult to sleep well. I tried to gave him the "iliadin drop" that prescribe by Dr. Sim earlier.
Then he went back to sleep till early morning. I told kakak wati not to gave him bath early in the morning, afraid he might get a cold again. As this will make his block nose even worse.
Actually for the last 2 days, he already make lots of noise/dream during the middle of the night. I got that kind of sense that he might be sick soon. After observing It's been 2 times right b4 Vernon down with fever or block nose. He would have a sign of making nose and dream a lots few nights b4 he sick.
That day Kakak wati laugh and told mommy that Vernon boy alway sick whenever mommy & daddy having a long holidays. I look back, hmmhh........it pretty true too.
Last raya holidays, he also down with fever. and this time is deepavali holidays.

Backyardigan

Backyardigan was the favorite cartton of Vernon boy since he is 7 months old. The 1st time he knew this character is when we were in New mexico, U.S. Every morning the Disney channel will release this show for about an hour and he will love to watch it till he had his morning nap. The 4 little backyardigan "Pablo, Uniqua, Tyrone,and Tasha are the little cutties.
We found this book is very useful as help tot to look & find. It help Tot to develop their right brain.

Backyardigan Fan

Vernon boy is a big fan of "BACKYARDIGAN." He love to dance together when he heard the Uniqua, Tasha,Tyrone & Pablo start sing and dance at the begining of the show.

On TV

Ever since Vernon learnt how to speak the words -"On TV". Everytime he is having his meal no matter....breakfast, lunch or dinner, he will demanding me to on TV. and he will specify what program he want to watch. No doubt, he will demand me to switch to Disney channel and look for "Elmo world" if it's noon time, else we have to on the DVD player.
Sometime I felt that he is too pampet by me now...........I fulfilled whatever he want if I posisble. He now using his power to overcome us.

Climb high off playpan

2-Nov-2007 friday night when we go to picked up Vernon from MIL house. MIL told mommy that now it's very dangerous to keep Vernon boy in the playpan alone anymore. He is now able to climbed out from the playpan as easy as only 3 steps. We can't believe that so I & James tried to put Vernon back to the playpan again. We want to see how this little guy climbed out and here u go................................
He don't even need anything to support him to climb from inside out.
Vernon's kakak wati told mommy that she now put Vernon boy sit beside the kitchen door while she is doing some household works@ kitchen and washing. She no longer left Vernon boy alone in the playpan since then.
Everyone in the family were so worried of his safety, but Tot at this age will normally love to do all sort of dangerous thing. All they want is our attention.............................

They came out to welcome us, off course we went into the house and have some chit chat b4 left for perangin mall. Too bad her FIL & MIL were having their afternoon rest. so I have no chance to say "thank you" to their preparation of the specialty satays.

Not long, we left air itam and headed to perangin mall directions. We usual, we park our car in the underground carpark as I don't like to go round & round for the multi storey car park. Supprisingly the mall were so crowded with shoppers and there're still so many shops around. By the time we were so hungry for food as it's already 1pm. Papa decided to have our lunch@ the Wong kok char chan teng. We were sitted at the corner near the escalator, good place for us and vernon. He can see people walking up & down, not so boring for him.
