I'm Going to School!

Jae's reaching a big milestone - it's his first big test and it's all about being independant - away from Papa, Mommy and Ah Ma. Abeit having faith in lil Jae, Papa and Mommy are still a bundle of nerves when we imagine the various scenarios that could develop. I say, parents have too good of an imagination sometimes. In Papa's own words, we find ourselves "having cold feet". 
Parents with kiddos in Primary School already will probably laugh at our nervousness, but there is always a first, and enrolling our boy into a childcare away from the people he knows very well falls into this category. When we fetched him from the centre, we felt like our toddler has grown up as he presented himself calm and steady. Ah, but this is just Day One, we will continue to pray that Jae enjoys himself in school and makes friends fairly soon.

Mama?? Or Not?

"Mama" or "Mum Mum"???

In Jae's surroundings, he is exposed to both words (although I try to discourage the latter which isn't a proper word), so now I have the dilemma of figuring which he means.

If-You're-Happy-And-You-Know-It-Clap-Your-Hands

Lil' Jaeden has picked up clapping, all thanks to Mommy's frequent clapping and yaying when playing with him. I will have him hold both my hands as I guide him with the clapping motion. Today, he surprised Mommy by doing it himself. Good little surprises come in small packages, just like our favourite desserts.

Chewbacca (in Literal Terms)

It is so fun when babies can sit on their own and can be put into a baby chair everywhere (as in restaurants) we go. It makes our lives as parents a whole lot easier, and mealtimes finally more decent! Hurray we made it to this milestone!

Now most places we go, the first question we'll ask is, "Is the food nice?" quickly followed by, "Is there a baby chair?"

Jaeden is happy when he gets to chew, chew, chew. A very anal me will wet wipe the chair beforehand. I think the person after me should do that too at the rate lil' Jae drools over the chair! <4 Feb 2012>
