What was joshua boy doing at 10.30pm one nite?

SAHM

A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud. Empty boxes and food wrappers were strewn all around the front yard. The door to his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house, and there was no sign of the dog.

Proceeding into the entry, he found a lamp knocked over and the throw rug wadded against one wall. In the front room, the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel and the family room was piled with toys and clothes. In the kitchen, dirty dishes filled the sink, food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled all over the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.

He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out of the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, miles of toilet paper in a heap, and toothpaste smeared over the mirror and walls.

As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel.

She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.

He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?"

She again smiled and answered, "You know, every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world I do at home all day?"

"Yes," was his incredulous reply.

She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

wanted to take a proper pic of him, but he showed me such an expression instead.

New portable dvd player

pappy bought a portable dvd player with the intention to keep joshua boy entertained along the journey to malacca. It has become joshua's new toy, and he can really hook onto the screen for a good 30min...switching from one show to the next... Personally i feel that it's not healthy for him. I keep that away from him now.

self-feeding

another milestone... ka kee yor, ka kee zia...

joshua boy loves soup. He will always finish the soup first.

Late update of CNY

This was taken at my parents' place on the eve of CNY's eve. Joshua boy & Gab spread the festive mood to everybody...

I'm back!

Dear mummies-bloggers,
i'm back! joshua boy slept early tonite. He dozed off in the car on our way to xin wang hong kong cafe. That was shortly after 9pm. It was very rare that he slept sooooooo early. Well, that gives us more couple time :)
How is joshua boy's speech development lately? He speaks more now, not a complete sentence yet, but can tell that he is trying to communicate with us.

• In the morning when he wants to get up from the bed, he will make his request "qi lai, qi lai" i will then hold his hand to lift him up;
• when he doesn't want or need anything, he will shake his head "bu yao, bu yao";
• when he wants to drink water or milk, he will say "ahh milk milk;
• when he wants to go to the playground, he will tell me too "slide, slide..."
• when he wants to watch dvd, he will utter "choo choo"; when he wants to watch 'Elmo', he will keep saying "elmo elmo..."
• when he sees an aeroplane, "ji ji";
• when he goesto hougang mall, "more, more...";
• when we past by our parish church Nativity Church, he will say "zerch, zerch";
• when he goes to our parents' place, he will greet our parents "ye ye" "zong zong" (gong gong) "ma ma"
• when he has his poo done in the diaper, he will not say anything, but will keep beating the front part of the diaper;
• when he wants my TLC, he will be very sweet to me "mi, mi..." (that's the way to call me nowadays)
• more to come...
