Potty Training? Nah! No need!
About a week ago, you indicated that you didn't want to wear your diapers. Ah Mah said ok, and told you to tell her, if you wanted to shee-shee or poo-poo so she can bring you to the toilet. After a couple of days with some minor accidents, you're now in perfect control! There are no more strange puddles to be found in the house for the last couple of days. Hurray!
Now, you only need diapers when you go to sleep or when we bring you out. You're so good at it that yesterday, when you came out of the toilet and announced to everyone that you had just 'shee-sheed' once again in the toilet, nobody bothered to cheer, clap and dance or give you big hugs and kisses and loads of praise. Hahahah. It's terrible. We adults are really a hard lot to satisfy.
Am really proud of you. You just decided when you didn't want diapers all by yourself. No training required!
*MUAK!*

Train Birthday Cake
This is a very lazy way of making a 3D train cake. Bought 3 Sara Lee pound cakes and a tub of Betty Crocker ready made chocolate frostings. Started cutting and shaping the pound cakes into a train and slapped a layer of frostings all over it. Was not very good with the frostings. The cake had a lot of details that were lost after the chocolate went over it. Overall, it was still very impressive to you and you loved it! Kept checking to see if it was safe on the front seat while on the way to Spizza for dinner. The eyes and nose, made with mini oreos and smarties were happily eaten up by the birthday boy...(",)

Another stay at the hospital.
3 nights, 19 ventolin nebulizer +3 chest physiotherapy sessions & $2,293.36 later, you are back home and on your feet.
Doctor says you had a severe asthmatic attack. Not much more information is given. We ask how do we prevent you from getting another? The answer is, we have to see if you have any future attacks in order to predict the pattern or cause. Wha piang. No way my little old man!
I bought a book called 'What your doctors may not tell you about children's allergies and asthma - simple steps to help stop attacks and improve your child's health'
On the home front, we got plenty of advice. Eat crocodile meat! Don't eat anything cold, no ice-creams, any cold drinks with ice, even fresh milk from the refrigerator!. No oranges, limes, bananas or pomelo. No swimming in the mornings and must make sure you are chest deep in water if you do go in the afternoons. No catching chills, meaning no bathing with cold water, make sure you are not in sweaty clothes when there's wind, no cottony pillows, bolsters or comforters in the bedroom. Oh, 1 tsp of bird's nest daily and go see a chinese physician for more advice and nourishing concoctions like chinese pear soup with "chuan pei" and lean meat.
We're going to do EVERYTHING we have to. It's really not much fun seeing a little boy so exhausted by wheezing, he falls asleep sitting up, on the couch.

Another weekend
I quite enjoy bringing you out alone nowadays.
You seated safely in the car seat and me driving. For some reason, when otherwise you would have screamed, kicked and cried murder, you don't protest being buckled down when it's only just you and me in the car.
It's usually a very short drive, to somewhere with lots of space near our house.
Last friday evening, it was to the club. We had some sort of a conversation on the way there and back and you enjoyed the jaunt on the putting green, wedging your head between 2 chairs and watching the big guys swing their clubs in the driving range and playing catch with a seven year old boy in the indoor playgound.

Egg Prata King
Yippee! Got this Flickr direct photo upload working again on the new phone.
Went for your last compulsory jab yesterday. Most kids complete the immunisation programme by 19 months. Yours kept being delayed by your recent bout of illnesses.
Mommy received a letter from the Ministry of Health (MOH) a couple of weeks back. Somehow, they know that you have not had all your jabs and I got a letter from them reminding me about it. Do you know that at you can't enroll into primary 1 if you don't have a certificate from the doctor saying that you have had all the jabs? Wha piang!
Anyway, you weren't too happy when your diaper was removed. You saw the needle and went "ouch! ouch!! OUCH!!!" before it even got anywhere close to target.
We had to reward your bravery later with an egg prata but you were still clearly, grouchy.
