Music Lover...??

This is what I saw when I finished washing dishes and intend to sit down to relax for a while after dinner one night.

I don’t know where he got that earphone and don’t even know he know how to use it, as I never listening to music using earphone or teach him how…..??! Guess kids just know how to use it by simple exposure to tv advertisement or maybe by looking at Dadi or Momi talking thru phone using earphone?

Sleeping Patterns....

How I wish I could just fall asleep so easily like my boys…..Hehe….
Jona always has no problem in falling asleep and it is so easy to babysit him even when he is a baby or now. I still remember when he is a baby, when it is time to sleep, no matter where I bring him (shopping or etc..), he will just fall asleep so easily. It just reminds me that he even fall asleep when I’m in the midst of massaging him during baby massage class!!!
Definitely not Iz. Nowadays, every night, no matter how late he went to bed, he definitely need to ‘chit chat’ with me or Dadi before he can snooze off.

The funny part, no matter how big the bed I provided to them(1 KING, 2 SINGLE BEDS), at the end, they will just 'stick' to each other in one single bed when I woke up in the morning.

This pix(s) are taken when they just snooze off without me realize it…haha…how cute!!

Doing Homework or playing..??

When I asked them to do their homework, this is the outcome, especially when I’m not sitting there together with them.
Boys are always boys…..

They even go and took my handphone to snap this pic by themselves(like you take my pic and I take your pic) and I didn't realise it till I download the pictures from my mobile.
At the end, each of them couldn’t finish their homework as instructed and get punishment from their mommy….

Name represent personality....?

Before Iz was born, I have been cracking my brain for several months to think of nice name for him. And, here you go:-

Isaac means bring joy and happiness
Noel mean born on Christmas day
Soong means PRAISE (in Chinese) for his Chinese name.

Overall, I want him to bring joy and happiness to my life and indeed till today, he never fail to make me happy (of course angry too). And, when I know that I’m expecting again, I really hope he will born on Dec as I just like December month. That’s why I name him Isaac Noel.

Previously, when a lot of my friends/relatives/mom told me that name do represent one person personality or character, I don’t really believe it.

Scenario 1:

One fine evening, after taken their dinner:

Iz: Kor kor, you want to marry who ar?
Iz: Rachel, Rachel
Jona: *smile sheepishly* I think Rachel (his classmate)
Jona: How about you, Iz?
Iz: *Spontaneous* I wait till I grow long; then, I will let GOD decide for me who I married.
Momi: *Speechless* I never imagine Iz would give so mature answer….

Scenario 2:

Iz cry want to drink Ribena:

Momi: I cannot leave you alone at home and sleep
Iz: Can
Momi: If you alone, then, you no scare ar?
Iz: No. Because I got GOD up there (pointing to sky) looking after me mah.
Momi: *speechless again* Can’t imagine my son know GOD is looking after him

Scenario 3:

Momi: Iz, who you love the most?
Iz: GOD the first one, then, Momi second, then, Dadi third…..

Now, if you ask me this question again, I would say I believe. How about you?

Are you ready yet......??

I try to train Iz to be diaperless again after first attempt seem failed(a year ago). 1st time failed because Iz told me that he is not ready yet and he only will be diaperless when he is 5 years old(still manage to negiotiate with me)!!!

But with my persistent and think that he is ready for it, as well as because almost every night he wet himself(even though he is using diaper) till his pyjamas dry again(being blowed dry by air con + fan), we give it a try again for the past 2 weeks.

And, I even told him that if he successfully being diaperless, I will buy him present as praise him and he seem to be not so willingness to be diaperless yet but got no choice since I half forcing him(bad Momi). First few days, he manage to be dry whole night(by waking up 2x) and I'm so happy about it. Being impatient, I even go and buy LEGO online(the price is really afforable and if you manage it well, you even can get free transportation cost) at http://brickbastion.com/store/ (I'm not the owner to this website but for those kids to love LEGO so much) .

A sudden GIFT for Jona & Iz!!!

Who know, my project seem to be fail again. After that, Iz brain seem to be NOT co-operative with his body(urinary system), as almost every night, he pee pee again on bed, and make himself wet. And, if I didn't realise it, the next morning, he seem to be dry whole night, but, can smell ammonia on his pyjamas OR if I awake at midnight or early morning, can see that his pyjamas is drying slowly.

Because of my impatient to train him being diaperless, within 9 days, Iz fall sick twice ~ flu, cough and fever!!! I really feel bad and maybe, he is really not ready yet to be diaperless......To comfort myself: I still have 2 packs of diaper to be use (which would last Iz for another 2 months plus) and also, he is only 3 years 10 months + little boy.

Rather Iz be a HAPPY boy than a SICK boy....

Second attempt seem failure again!!!

Different kind of expression

During 4th day of CNY, we went back to my hubby hometown to celebrate our CNY with my hubby family. Immediately arrive grandpa house, both my sons so excited and happy when their grandpa told them, he want to bring them to see different kind of tortoises at temple nearby his house.
Also at the same time, it mean I'll be having some of 'ME' time alone, hooray!!! And, Dadi is not to sure of just letting grandpa, his aunt and niece to watch out his 2 Baobei's, so, end up he follow as well.

See, this lil Iz, didn't even scare of tortoise will bite his finger off instead he dare to touch and rub the tortoise back!! I bet that if I was there, I will definitely won't let Iz does it. With grandpa, they are just too daring to do whatever they want as their grandpa is too pampering them since both Jona and Iz is the 1st & 2nd grandchild for my hubby side.

When they are back home after 1 hour plus fun, only one word came out from Ku Po's mouth ~ 'TIRED'!!! Ha,ha...now only they know it is not easy to manage 2 active boy boy ler.....But, of course the word came out from my boy boy mouth is 'FUN'!!

I want to be 'Mei Mei'

Don't know what happen to Iz, my baobei recently.......

Since CNY is coming, I have gone and change my hairstyle ~ rebonding it and now and then, I start to use small clip to clip my hair to prevent it from dropping while I busy with my house tasks.

Who know, this little Iz, whenever he saw the small clip on my hair, immediately request to have it and say "I want to be your Mei Mei, can ar?" When I say cannot, he will show me a sour face and then, pitiful face......

He just doesn't even care when he get tease from Jona saying "Eeeee....Mei Mei....shame shame"

Mei Mei's shy and adorable poses:

So, you say, he got Mei Mei face or not? Naahhh, I think he still cute for being Momi boy boy or do you think he will 'bring' Mei Mei for me??

Mr.Cheeky

Cheeky boy, cheeky boy ~ that's the nickname we called Iz nowadays instead of 'Dustbin collector'.

He just being so cheeky but yet, so caring esp toward his soft toy (**slap my forehead**). Sometimes, he even tell me and my mom, to be quiet as his DOG is sleeping, and must talk softly!!

But, I do remember that I read from some articles saying, if the boy love soft toys, meaning, he is not 'feminine' instead in future, he will be a family man or caring gentleman....True or not?? Ha,ha....
And, while I was so busy managing my mom and Jona last weekend (due to diarrhea + vomiting), don't know where he get my sunglasses and wear it without my knowledge....and, Ta Ta, Ta....my sis took some of the photos and show to me, telling me "This is your cheeky boy ar!!" "See so handsome ler, so bergaya some more with milk bottle!!"

+++ He so good in talking.......

This morning, he talk to my mom:

Iz: Grandma, you don't make milk milk for me ok?

GM: Why?

Iz: You old already

GM: Old still can mix milk mah

Iz: Cannot, cannot, you don't know how to make 'NEW' nen nen for me. I want 'NEW' nen nen..I want Momi make NEW nen nen for me...

One night on the way to do some marketing for grocery(inside the car):

Jona: Grandma old already, can go heaven (all these while, we tell the kids that when we all get old one day, die, will go heaven)....

Iz: Grandma, Grandma, you go heaven. Remember to bring back to me a lot, lot of GOLF BALL, okie?

You say, should I send to 'Reader Digest' or 'Funniest TV Show'?

Admitted Hospital - Again??!!

I don't know why, but, it seem that my kids are so prone to be admitted to hospital, which of course, I bet non of parents love their kids being admitted, right?

And, this time, it is Iz, my lil darling turn. It all happens so quick and fast, and I really can't think well as well......

It all started on Sat evening, when Iz suddenly got fever, and every 4 hours, need to be given medication, till Sunday evening, around 5pm, suddenly, his temperature shoot up to 40 something, and the worst part, he got Febrile Fit!!!

And, I really panic as I didn't prepare for it and never know how to handle this kind of situation...after giving some suppository to Iz, immediately I bring Iz to go see child specialist(Dr.Ting - first time seeing him as Iz usual child specialist is not open on Sunday evening). Worst of all, this child specialist is really 'BLOOD SUCKING'.......

Imagine, I'm worried and panic of Iz situation, he didn't help to ease my worry instead 'threaten' me that if Iz is not admitted, if happen another round of high fever and fit, it might damage Iz brain even more. He didn't even checked on Iz, and immediately insert drip and ask me to wait outside his clinic room to wait for him to see other patients and after 1 hour, 'slap' me with RM 300 fee!!!

Sleep well after medication and drip...

For me, as long as Iz is ok and fine, I really have no problem of admitting him for further monitoring, but, not with that kind of attitude from child specialist - without proper check and some explanation!!! I'm just wonder, where goes his medical ettique of treating patient with care!

Some of Iz's favorite toys to entertain him - Thomas & Friends...

Even staying in hospital, doesn't bring me satisfaction as well. Admitted on Sunday night, and when he came to see me around 10pm (bear in mind the time), he show me all the blood tests - to confirm that Iz has no problem at all......no deficit in blood glucose, no lack of calcium, etc....which might cause febrile fit and can't give me good excuse of why Iz got febrile fit(even myself know what is the reason).

And, on Monday morning, Iz is back to normal - happy and active and complaining that he want to go home and play with kor kor....when I ask Dr.Ting, he unhappily told me, he prefer to monitor Iz for 24 hour before give him OK sign to go home, and add some 'sarcastic' comment: "If he is fit to go home, I will definitely let him go home. I won't even force him to stay extra longer here at all" and left!!

Insert the needle for drip...

Imagine, how rude of him acting as child specialist..And, on Monday night, when he came visit, , he came around 10.30pm!!! And, Iz and myself already fall asleep. When he came in, he say "So fast asleep already?" Like no so happy tone of not waiting for him. I like, 'Huh, Hallo? What is the time already? Even my next door patient also fall asleep, imagine me taking care of cranking Iz.......

When I asked Dr.Ting again, whether Iz can go home the next day (Tuesday), guess what he reply, "I prefer to let Iz stay for another one more day to monitor him again".......And, when he see my unhappiness, immediately he add on "Tomorrow morning, we just see how" and left again.

On Tuesday morning, I packed all Iz stuff and waiting to be discharge, and when he came, he really not happy and saying "I really have no reason to hold him back if you really want to be discharge"........

See, how cheerful Iz is....it really melt my heart to see he has to suffer this...

Luckily, now, Iz is well and ok, except the body is still weak......I tell myself that I really won't go back to this child specialist anymore no matter how......

'6 + 9' = LOVE

Have you hear of this simple calculation before? It is so simple & easy!! I learn this from lil Iz. He teach me this......

While we waiting for Jona to finish his music class, Iz found this 2 alphabets near the toy basket. First, he show me number 6 and ask me to read it, then, he show me number 9. And, suddenly, he told me " Momi, see, a heart shape" with a proud smile......

"Wow" is my expression as I didn't imagine Iz could be so creative or so loving......I guess he try to tell me - He LOVE me. How sweet of him.

Sometimes I just really underestimate my sons capabilities or creativeness..

Happy 3rd Birthday, little Isaac

Everyday, in my house, my 2 boys will be keep asking me, "Momi, today, who birthday first?" And, I have to tell them that by month, it should be 'Grandma on January, Daddy on April, Jonathan on July, Isaac on Oct and Mommy on Dec!!".......and it will end with screaming of happiness - yeah if one of their birthday is approaching!!!!

So, before Isaac birthday on 3rd Oct (last Friday), he has been counting the day when he will blow the candles and practise singing birthday song every day......He even told me that he is 'pretending' of holding the knife and stand in front of the fridge (since his cake is inside the fridge) - sing happy birthday song to himself (in English and Mandarin), then, blow and cut the cake (all in pretending)!!!

Anyway, not to dissapointing him, I have bought a 1 kg cake for him(since cupcakes is 'on holiday due to Hari Raya' as well as prepare some healthy snack for his party bag - which make him so proud and happy (as told by his teacher)......

So, end up, he has 2 celebrations, 2 birthday cakes: one with classmate & teachers and another one with our family.......

And, once his BIG day is over, both of them, just keep quiet and didn't ask me anymore, who birthday next?? Mmmmm.....so materialistic lor..

Boy boy, you indeed grow up so fast,

That, even Momi or Dadi just couldn't let go of you (still treating you as our BABY),

You always being mature than your actual age,

So humble, caring, loving and cheeky.....

Dadi, Momi and Kor kor wishing you

Happy Birthday, Isaac Noel

And, hoping you are happy and cheerful in your BIG day

With lot of smiles and laughters......

Night Story Teller.....

Yesterday night, don't know for whatever reasons, Iz just doesn't feel sleepy and wont' sleep at all.

Upon Jona request, yesterday we slept at 10pm, as he want to finish watch his cartoon...and after change into pyjamas and switch off the light, and saying our GOOD NIGHT to each others, this lil OWL start his 'story teller' by himself.....

"Momi, why just now, you so strong one? Can climb the gate, and open the gate, huh?"

Momi reply: "Because no electricity and Momi forgot to bring that gate key lor....Ok, now, go to sleep liao"

"Momi, just now ar, in sunday school, I no more crying, and teacher teaches me to sing - Old MacDonald has a farm, The Noah got the boat boat"....keep repeating sing it, and then, ask Jona to sing along when he forgot, the last phrases...

Momi: "Iz, please zip your mouth and sleep liao"...."Tomorrow, morning, has to wake up early as Momi need to send you 2 go to school first before rush to go to work".

By that time, it is already 10.30pm.....

"Momi, just now kor kor eat pizza, and didn't wash his hands and touch my face. So dirty and I cried lor"

Momi: "Ok, Jona, next time, cannot do like that anymore, ok?" "Ok, now, go to sleep liao"

"Momi, we haven't say our night prayer yet?"

Momi: "Ooppss, ok, after say our prayer, as usual, must sleep already, ok?" "Dear Lord,...."

Iz: "Momi, no no, no this one"

Momi: Then...

Iz: "Must use my teacher one, the new one ar..."

Momi: "Ok, then, you say the prayer and we follow"

Iz: "Aaa..but, I cannot remember wor" .....laughing softly

Momi: "Then, go to sleep liao" "Momi so tired liao"

It is 10.45pm.....

"Momi, tomorrow, you buy for me, ne, the long long and thin stick one ar"..."What it call ar?"

Momi: Think, think......

Iz: "Ne, the one you buy for me, when we go shopping ar"

Momi: Ooo...Rocky stick

Iz: "Yes, yes, I want the rocky stick...it is so nice one. I want to eat it. I can finish it one. I want you buy 2, 2 for me, and 1 for kor kor"

Momi: OK, but, you must go and sleep now......

Iz: "You must buy for me tomorrow, ok?" "I wan to eat it again"...."Very nice, what it called ar?" "Also, buy for me the balloon ok?" "So long, I didn't play the bubble anymore lor..." "I miss it"...

Momi: Iz, please go to sleep now. Kor kor is asleep already. If you go to sleep now, tomorrow I will buy you Rocky stick and bubble, okie?"

Iz: "I want the Rocky stick, the strawberry one." Very nice...

By that time, it is already 11.15pm, and I really don't know what time he felt asleep, as I just couldn't hold longer to chit chat with him, and doze off myself. And, when I woke up around 11.40pm, lil OWL is already fast asleep......

And, see....how peaceful he sleep, like in good dream hor? Maybe, is thinking of eating his Rocky strawberry stick....he,he...and even has a good mood to greet me while I washing my face with his cheeky face and wanting to pee pee this morning(1st time: no pee pee on his diaper - hasn't plan to start him diaperless yet, as he still has plenty of stock to clear!!)

'DR' or 'NEW' milk milk.....

As you all know, initially I have problem of 'weaning' Iz from his night time milk milk, but, you know what, after taking all your advices, I manage successfully wean Iz off from his addiction!!!

How I did it? Simple......All these while, Iz drink soya milk powder + goat milk in his nanny house and back home, he drink his normal favourite milk. And, especially, when he is sick - cough, his whole day milk will be purely soya milk to reduce his phelgm as well as puke. It is really effective method for Iz or Jona.

And, funny thing is, even I don't know why Iz label soya milk as Dr milk and his Bebelac milk as NEW milk milk.......so smart....maybe, because when he sick, automatic all his milk intake is switch to soya milk till his recover and initially, he is taking Progress Wyeth milk instead of Bebelac, and that's why he called Bebelac as NEW milk milk.

So, when he ask for his night milk milk, what I did is, mix soya milk powder for him. And, once he drink it, he will cry and said "I don't want Dr milk milk.......I want my NEW milk milk" and he just return it back to me without want to drink anymore (even tho it is a waste for several night, but worth it lor!!)

And, sometimes, he will ask me, "Momi, why you give me Dr milk milk and not my NEW milk milk. I want my NEW milk milk....I don't want DR milk milk, it is not nice".

"Momi, in morning time, you give me my NEW milk milk okie?"....and continue to sleep back when I agree. It has been almost 2 weeks that he didnt' wake up at night and ask for his milk milk anymore.......

Fhuiiiiyoo....finally, I though I can have good night sleep but, then,.....time to train him to be diaperless.....see my coming post about it :)

Separation Anxiety - Nanny

Today is the 3rd day Iz went to daycare with Jona. And, today is the most happiest moment for his Dadi and Momi. Know why? Because Iz is no longer crying for his auntie(his babysitter) anymore, meaning he know that he need to go to daycare with his kor kor already.....too bad, Dadi didnt' capture the moment of Iz holding his kor kor hands and walk together into their kindy!!

Thinking back, it is indeed really a hard and sad moment for Iz to 'separate' from his auntie. From the way he talked and acted, etc, can see that he really appreciate the effort and care that his auntie has poured on him since he is 2 mths old baby.......can see how deep the auntie and uncle has 'love' him unconditionally.

Day 1: Wake up, already show his sour face. And, especially, when I changed him, he ask me this questions:

Iz: Momi, today I go where?

Momi: To daycare with Kor Kor

Iz: But, I want to go to my auntie house (with a sad tone).

Momi: mmmm...cannot

Iz: Why?

Momi: Because auntie not around. She went back hometown, seeing gong gong (lying to him).

Iz: Start crying and said: But, I want my auntie.....I want to see Eng eng and Xi Ying. Why Auntie don't want me ar? (another 2 lil girls that auntie is looking after)

Me, speechless and just able to hug him tight.

Day 2: I went to work and let Dadi turn to manage Iz. Wake up, Iz already started crying and keep saying "I want my auntie" "I want my auntie" repeating for several times.

Once arrived at kindy, Iz locked the car door, not wanting to go out, and Dadi has to comfort him. Then, when out, hug Dadi like Koala, so tight and won't let go......Reached inside the kindy, Uncle Yen take over, and Iz start crying so loud and keep shouting "I want my auntie" "I want my auntie" "I want to go with uncle for yum chai!!"

Yesterday, whole day, Dadi and myself feel so bad and helpless. We did discussed of might sending Iz back to his auntie house if his condition is not improving. We don't want him to feel so sad.

And, this morning, miracle happen. GOD might hear my prayer. Iz so happy and even manage to finish his milk without needing to use 'syringe'..... :)

Can really see that Iz 'love' his auntie so much, and no doubt the auntie also MISS Iz so much by keep calling to get her update on Iz!!

Not forgetting, Momi has more 'work' to do + pity my 2 boys has to bring 1 school bag + 1 daycare bag(each one) to go to school from next week onward. Sleeping bag need to bring on first day of the week and bring back home on last day of the week to be washed :O..........

Still wake up prepaing milk for my toddler.....

I remember I did post this topic quite sometimes ago, that I'm happy that Iz has already stop asking for milk at night. Who know, immediately after I post this 'happy' post, within a week (immediately after I back from outstation), he is asking for night milk milk again.

All thanks to my darling Dadi.

Initially, Iz has stop drinking night milk milk when he is around 11 or 12 mths old. But, after a while, he fall sick and you know, when kid fall sick, they tend to lost some weight, and darling Dadi, pity on him, and at night (just purposely do it when I'm away - oversea business trip), he wake up and mix milk for Iz.

And, from that day onward, Iz just started asking for milk milk at night and there you go, Gone all my sweet dream!! To make it worst, he only will ask for night milk milk, when his mommy is around, and when I was away, he dare not ask or never wake up at night asking his daddy or grandma to make milk milk for him!!!

(When I complain to Dadi, he will always say, "When you out, he can sleep till morning without asking milk milk lor......or, he will say "I want to make nen nen for him, but, then, when he ask, I can't hear lor....too deep sleep **slap my forehead**)

So, you say ler.....he 'bully' his mommy or 'over sayang' his mommy??! Sometimes, in one night, he can force me to wake up at least twice: 1am and 5 ~ 6am. If I asked him like "Can you finished the milk or not?" And, when he finished the milk, he will say it half asleep, "Nah, you see, I can finished the milk one"....and immediately pop back to sleep soundly till 7 plus. And, poor Momi, can't sleep back if it is around 6 plus, cause I have to wake up and prepare myself to go to work liao.

If I don't mix milk for him when he request it, he will keep asking asking in gentle way till I give in......He will pat pat me softly and say "Mommy, I want nen nen"....and once he done with the milk, sometimes, he will immediately hug me to sleep like his bolster (something as token of appreciation to me)

You said, should I firm rejected his request to train him from having milk milk at night or I can still give in till he is a bit older? Do you have way to do it? I plan to train him to be diaperless soon.

Dare to kiss me.....?

Iz is definitely a chocolate lover, anything related to chocolate, he just can't accept the answer of 'NO' to have it.....of course, beside that, he does has a special 'nickname' in our home - little 'dustbin'.....as long as you munch or eat something, he will quickly go near you and ask for a bite.

Anyone seeing Iz, just can't said 'NO' to him. I don't know why, maybe, he is too cute......See, even my bro also fullfill all his wish. My bro even bought Gelato ice-cream for him when he ask for it!!!

So, on my cousin wedding dinner recently, Iz saw a nice chocolate fountain and ask for it. And, my bro even go and dip the strawberry and mashmallow into that chocolate for Iz. Before I could put a towel or napkin on Iz, it is too late. I will have a problem of getting rid of the choco on his shirt later.
The best part is, as what my bro comment: "He just so enjoying the food!!!!"

Ha,ha...so now, do you dare to kiss him? He,he.......

Another scar

This is the first time that Iz got 'injure' from nanny house, but, it is the second time that Iz got this serious scar. Last year, it happen that he fall from the table and got injure on his lower chin - and I did apply Vit E on him for several weeks.....still got scar but, luckily not that visible anymore, and hopefully, by the times, he grow up, it will fade away ~ that is Momi wish.

And, this time, he injuire himself just below the eye. Based on nanny explanation, it is Iz who wanted to open biscuit container (that make from PVC) and accidentally the cover hit his eyes - I really doubt her explanation, not that I don't believe her, but, when you see carefully, it seem the 'injure' is cause by long fingernail. Don't you think so?

When, I asking Iz, everytimes, he told me "Ta che did it"....or "Ta che make it".....

Maybe, it is really a time for me thinking of sending Iz to daycare with his kor kor next mth.....No doubt this nanny is extreme good in taking care of Iz - cause Iz never got this kind of injure since he is under nanny care except got it from home. But, since nanny start taking care of another baby girl (3 mths) few days ago, it seem she is really not capable of managing 3 kids at one go - I have to admit, that there is some 'careless' in handling Iz now......

Of course, if I'm in her situation, I could said, I just can't manage 3 kids - 3 yrs old, 2 yrs old and 3 mths old baby as good as she is!! That's why 2 is enough for me....

Like Dadi, Like Son

Dadi always has this habit - after eating lunch or dinner, he will munch munch on some junk food or tibits as you call it. When you ask him, "not full huh?"....His simple reply, "No lar, just eat for fun only".......

And, guess what? One of his son also inherited this habit.....I bet most of you will know who is it. This lil boy, after drinking 6oz of milk mix with 2 tablespoons of cereal, and within mins, he will said he want to eat 'tibits' or biscuit. Reason: "I'm so hungry lor"..."If I dont' eat, I will die liao"......so, you said, same like Dadi or not. I guess he still doesn't know how to say 'eat for fun only'. But, soon, he will.

This is how he hug his 'tibit' - so tight......

Unforgetful Day!!

Monday, 9th June 2008, must be an unforgetful day for Iz. Why? Because he is attending his first day in kindy and seem like he just can't forget his nanny + his daily morning routine of 'yam cha'

What I did is, keep telling him that he will be going to his aunty(nanny house) after he brush his teeth, change to uniform, etc...if I mention 'school', he will cry and insist of not doing anything. I even have to 'plot' with Jona to mention only aunty when Iz asked why change to uniform, why wear brief, etc...(Thank you so much, Jonathan for helping Momi out!!)

It is really heartbreaking of seeing Iz keep crying so many times in one day. He never cry so charm since he born till today. I thought of withdrawing him immediately from the school, when I see he so 'desperate' and 'unhappy' with schooling, but, Dadi stop me, saying, no matter how, he need to go through this phase of life - it is the matter of soon or later.

Before I decide to enroll him to this kindy, I did some preparation like telling him about it for the past 4 - 5 mths, but, everytimes I mention it, he will just say "NO"..and I even bring him along to fetch Jona from daycare daily, to familiar him with school environment and teachers as well....but, he just insist of NO.

Imagine, on first day, when I drop him in school, he cried so hard saying "Momi, don't go"....and then, when driver aunty come and fetch him to nanny house, he cried again, saying "I want my mommy"....."How come not my mommy come and fetch me one?" "I want to go my house".....

And, when driver aunty said, yes, I'm bringing you back home, he stop crying, but, immediately when he see driver aunty by pass his house, he keep crying again till reaching nanny house, keep saying "I want my house"..."I want my mommy"...."I dont' want aunty-nanny".....

When I go and fetch him from his nanny house later in the evening, his eyes look swollen like have been crying for several times....you said, heartbreaking or not?

Today, it is Dadi task to send him to school...Even before going to school, Iz has informed Dadi "Daddy, today you go to school with me, okie?" (Showing some pitiful face)..."I don't like the teacher"...."I so scared".....

And, true enough, when Dadi drop him at school gate, he cry again....and need teacher to hold him again and comfort him...

Now, I'm in dilemma of whether to forfeit the fee which I have paid throughout this year or just let him cry daily (not sure till when)...what do you think? Is Iz too young to go kindy? He is 2 years plus but, if calculate using year, he is 3 years old now...

"Baobei, Momi just want the best for you, and seeing you crying daily when sending you to school, isn't make Momi proud, instead it make Momi heart sad and heartbreaking. I pray to GOD to give you happiness. I always love you, baobei".

Blog Break....Travelling

Yeah, I will be away again....You all must be thinking that I'm travelling again huh? You are absolutely right. I'm travelling again, but, this time, this travelling is really fun and excited. Because today, I will be travelling to Taiwan again but, with my FAMILY.....for a family vacation for 7 days!!!

Finally, I travel but on vacation rather than business trip......so, I guess I won't be able to go to your blog for a temporary, but, I will try my best once I back home again.

Definitely will update you again about my vacation to Taiwan............

Now, still haven't finished pack my stuff, send Iz to nanny house, etc......this family vacation is excluded Iz, my cute lil darling baby. WHY? Due to his 'terrible 2' as well as he still 'baby' for us, it will be quite tough to bring him alone - after voting, it seem that none of my family member (mom and sis) want to bring him alone......I feel sad to leave him behind, but, I got no choice...."Don't worry, darling baby, Momi will compensate you by bringing you to Singapore in July"
