Raphael Calls "Jie Jie"
Raphael had been very vocal and recently... He can try to pronounce whatever you want him to, provided you bribe him or if his mood is good. Daddy ask him where is his nose, eyes, head, mouth, tongue, feet, hands, fingers, toes, ear etc, he can point to them correctly.Best part is he can even try to pronounce the word and not to mentioned, is accurately identifying each of these. Putting aside body parts, he can also pronouce daily items like Chairs, Table, Bus, Car, Ball, Socks, Shoes, Duck, Dog, Cat, Tree, Grass, Water, Milo, Yakult, Bubbles, Bear, Walk, Run, Fish,Fan, TV, Clock, Light, Orange, Apple... the lists goes on and on....and not forgeting the 26 Alphabets and 1-9 numbers!!! Wohooo! Also, he is not blindly remembering such items as he can also identify variation of these objects, such as a green apple is an apple, a Red one also is an apple!The clock at our home is a clock, the clocks he sees outsides are also clocks!! Mummy and Daddy are so proud...shows that our on and off efforts of flashing him cards, acting silly, singing the body parts song paid off..Of cause most efforts are also contributed by Grandpa and Grandma Teo who had been religiously teaching him daily. Raphael first call to Jie Jie was actually calling Aunty Doris at Kindermusic yesterday. Raphael called Aunty Doris "Aunty" and she joking ask Raphael to call her "Jie Jie"..Then Raphael start to call her Jie Jie. Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts

Outing to ECP Cycling and PolliWog
This outing has been in the planning for ages, until the Haji hols last fri when Daddy managed to get EVERYONE to agree to wakeup earlier on a hols to go ECP for some fun.. Today we have a big turnout, Godpa, Godma, Yvette jieji, Tua Pek, Tua Um, Uncle Adrian, Aunt Serene, Baby Matthias, Ah Gu, Ah Yee and Grandma Teo. Gathering time at ECP BK at 10am..we were expecting a leisure breakfast followed by a stroll along the beach before Polliwoq and cycling..However, the 1st sign of "trouble" was the carparks are all full at 10am..followed by super loong queues at BK.. Think Daddy is "mountain tortoise" already..still thought 10am is early..the park is already flooded by then.. No more leisurely, the battle to queue for food begins and also entry to Polliwoq before it gets real crowded.. Raphael has a fun day with running around on grass, polliwog and lastly cycling.. The sun was blazing and the wind was breezy on the bike..Raphael was like so lazy and enjoying, at one time Daddy tot Raphael fall asleep in the child seat haha..but he was only relaxing and not moving, enjoying the breeze on his face..  ECP at 10am on Haji Hols  Raphael all ready to go cycling  Give me a FIVE!!  Baby Matthias joining us at POlliwog  Yvette jie jie 1st visit to Polliwog, soo HAPPY!  Cheeky Raphael, resting his weight on Ah Yee!  crawling out of the tunnel, supporting using his hands. Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts

18Months old Booster Jab, 11.8kg
This jab had been delayed since beginning of the month till today. The first cancellation was due to Dr Allyson Tan going to Tokyo till mid Nov... So we scheduled a date with her after our Tokyo trip. Then on 21st Nov, Daddy realised that he got to work from morning till late afternoon followed by his school...So again we postponed... Then on 23rd Nov, we rushed down to the night clinic thinking that Our Dear Dr Tan be around... Hai... Sad to say she rushed to hospital for an emergency and night clinic is closed for the day. So today, 25th Nov, Wednesday, Mummy called to ensure that the night clinic be OPENED and they will not rushed down in vain. The nurse who answered Mummy's call could actually recognised her voice!! OMG! When we registered ourselves at 750pm, we were told to go home, bathe ourselves and wait... So we went to Grandma Phay's Home and eat dinner happily while Raphael played happily with "Bek Bek", "Ah Mmmmg"... Oh ya, today Raphael learnt how to called Brandon Bek Bek... hehee...though at first sounds like Baby...As he called many times the Bek Bek seems clearer. Then Uncle Brandon tried to test Raphael's Patience by blocking his toys and there was an instance Raphael got so fed up that he exclaimed "HAIII YA!!! Bek Bek"... then he swing his hands backwards. This make the pple in the room laughed! Okok..Back to the Booster Jab.. When we reached the clinic at 1015pm, (Yes, Our Dr Tan is always so busy, her appt can always last up to 11pm if not close to 12 midnite... ) Raphael started to get upset with the weighing and height measurement.. We were able to get his weight though... is 11.8kg! WOW! Height undetermined as he kept crying and was so cranky. NVM, Let his height remains at 84cm..is ok...forget about measurement So when it is our turn to go inside to see our Ah Tan, Raphael started to scream and shout as he saw the jab/needle on her table... It was a disaster... You can never imagine how loud and scary he scream!! Those patients outside got a shock of their life!!! Anyway, Dr Tan commented that Raphael's Speech is progressing so fast, better than her expectation as when he was 15months old, he couldn't talk much and we were pretty worried about his speech. Now he could identify and say orange, apple and many many items Hehee... Mummy got to give a special thanks to Grandpa Teo and Grandma Teo for their dedicated time and efforts to guide Raphael... Else I doubt Raphael can be so proficient now.. Ok...Video be uploaded later as Mummy not so power in this... Here is 2 pictures of him before jab.. After jab it was too chaotic... **ps: I think by now, people can identify which posts are written by Mummy and which are written by Daddy... HAHAAA   Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts
Aunty Hoon's present to Raphael
Woohooo...This is Aunty Hoon so called first present for Raphael aside from the cute Teddy Bear she bought for Raphael's full month party... Wah...It has been 18 months since she last buy something for Raphael leh. Even Uncle Lai, always showered Raphael with Yakult, biscuits, chips etc... No wonder Hoon start to feel paiseh and also went to get a top for Raphael. Why are they showering Raphael with presents and food? Oh, this is because our Raphael has a way to get into their hearts, by calling them repeatedly "Ah Yeeee", "Ah Guuuu" everytime he sees them in his sight. **SO SWEET** Even when back at home, he will still missed them alot... Sometimes even call out their names in his dream..This little boy...  Just wash this top...will update with Raphael wearing it in person... Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts
How Raphael eats his meals
She will try all sorts of ways. Recently after the Tokyo Trip, Raphael seems to be more resistant to porridge (Maybe due to the 6 days break without porridge in Tokyo...) Grandma Teo as usual, is resourceful. Guess what, she is now using a bowl, with a few ice cubes and a little bit of water to let Raphael "Fish" out the ice cubes using that tiny spoon. *APPLAUSED*... If Raphael do get bored, she will add more ice cubes inside that bowl... Else will be tons of toys to keep him occupied... How can she think of such a brilliant idea to keep Raphael occupied? Mummy witness this when she was on sick leave on Tuesday. Let us give our powerful Grandma Teo a round of big applause.. Thanks to you. Raphael is now 11.8kg!  Raphael playing with toys  Raphael busy busy  He always secretly spit out the porridge..  This is the bowl of ice cubes  Stirring the bowl of ice  Tasting the icy water Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts

Terrible Twos and Raphael
He will cry at the slightest unhappiness and throw tantrum if things are not done according to his way. He will try to hit us when angry... We as parents sometimes feel frustrated of such behaviour.. But have we truly understand why are they behaving these ways? Maybe I pamper him too much, gone are the times with caning and physical abuse. It will only cause a mark to remember forever in a little kid fragile heart. Below is the abstract taken from the link and I personally find greater depths in it... http://pediatrics.about.com/od/toddlers/a/05_terrble_twos.htm "No one looks forward to the terrible twos, a developmental stage that usually begins sometime in the toddler years. Although many parents don't expect the terrible twos to start until their toddler is two years old, it is important to note that it can begin anytime during your child's second year, and so anytime after their first birthday, and unfortunately, sometimes even before. Characterized by toddlers being negative about most things and often saying 'no', the terrible twos may also find your toddler having frequent mood changes and temper tantrums. To help you cope with this normal stage in your child's development, you should always remember that your child isn't trying to be defiant or rebellious on purpose. He is just trying to express his growing independence and doesn't have the language skills to easily express his needs. This can also be the reason why your toddler frequently gets frustrated and resorts to hitting, biting, and temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way. By learning more about this normal stage in your child's development, it can make it easier to get through it and make sure that you aren't contributing to more battles than are necessary. Other tips for helping your toddler during the terrible twos include:

The link between Grandpa and Grandson
Seeing how Grandpa Phay's eyes lights up whenever he sees Raphael brings tremendous joy to Daddy..The relationship between father and son can sometimes be a "strained" one..being guys, we may not be able to express our love and care for each other well..Both being quick tempered, conversations used to become arguments hahaha.. But with Raphael as a bridge, and also Daddy becoming "Daddy", he begins to understand the greatness of Fatherly love and appreciate Grandpa Phay all the more..looking at how Grandpa has aged..we sometimes ask ourselves..why we only realised that age has caught up with them only recently..maybe its due to we being too engrossed in our own world and thus neglected precious people around us. From the pictures below, you can see the loving looks of how a Grandpa cares and love his Grandson..and this is the same love that was showered on Daddy when he was young..but we may not realised it, but only by observing this from afar as a "3rd" party, like when Daddy is taking these shots..then can we see this LOVE  Grandpa lovingly prepare Yakult for Raphael   Can you feel the love of Grandpa in the way he looks at Raphael  Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts

ANA Flight's Experience
 I am indeed very impressed with their on board service and their attentiveness and also the small details which were being taken care of... I can say that their services and quality are comparable to SQ, if not better.. Personal opinion.. When we boarded the ANA plane, their stewardess are attentive, and surprising thing is we have a baby meal for our baby Raphael... Though he is not eligible for the bassinet..due to the max weight limit of 9kg..(Sian man...he exceeded by 2.5kg...), we were given very good services.. First is the baby snack given to Raphael and he goes "MUM MUM MUM"... He keep eating the sandwich and gave an exaggerated "Mum" Sound... We were so amazed that he actually ate it.. .Maybe its the environment and maybe he is hungry... dunno why... Then came the super early breakfast whereby they ON the light at 5am in the morning...(Singapore time is 4am...) Give us sets of breakfast each... Raphael also received his Breakfast but as he is sleeping, we kept it aside. Then upon return, the late nite snack was Ice cream, Hagan Daz!!! Waaaaa.... Power! I love this airline..will definetely take ANA again! Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts
