That's The End!

2006-12-31T23:57:00.000+08:00

Hi All,

The year has finally come to an end, thanks for all your constant support.

From 2007 onwards, I will be posting entries on a new blogspot.

Chan Legacy (http://chanlegacy.blogspot.com)

Why the change?

Well, seriously, how do you seperate the lives of Donald and Victoria? Like it or not, ever since 27th Sept 2006, their individual lives already include each other. I am basically banging my head on the wall if I continue trying to seperate their entries... :)

So see you at our new blogspot!

Happy New Year!

Love,

Mummy Bita

Stomach Flu Episode

2006-12-31T11:50:00.000+08:00

What a way to end a year....

Donald had his 1st episode of stomach flu on 29/12. Here is an account of what happened.

29/12/06 Friday

830pm
Went to Vivocity after dinner, Donald fell asleep in the car.
After he woke up, he walked by himself for several minutes and suddenly threw up on the floor. He asked for Coke to clear the terrible taste in his mouth.
We thought maybe it was indigestion.

9pm
Vomitted again! This time all over Gu Gu, because Gu Gu was carrying Donald.
We attributed it to the gas from coke.

10pm
We went home and wanted to monitor him before seeing doctor.
Na Na cooked him some macaroni, he only took 1 mouthful.
He said he was thirsty and drank alot of green tea, his stomach was bloated like a balloon filled with water. Shortly after, he vomited the water and macaroni out.
We decided to bring him to the Silvercross Clinic.

1015pm
He vomited more macaroni in the car.

1030pm
While waiting at the clinic, Donald again asked for water, so we went to buy mineral water.
We only allowed him small sips.
Doctor said from the rapid onset of events, most likely indigestion. But if he develops a fever the next day, then likely it is stomach flu.
While waiting for prescription, Donald vomited the water and remaining macaroni out on Mummy cos Mummy was carrying him.

11pm
Fed him medicine (dimenate) and minimal water.
But he saw a cup of water and took it and drank it all before we knew it.
He vomited the medicine and water out.

30/12/06 Saturday

4am
He woke up and said he was thirsty, fed him some small sips of water, vomitted it out.

415am
Gave him smaller sips, still vomitted, develop low grade fever.

430am
Didn't allow him to drink water, only gargled his mouth in the bathroom.

9am
Took small sips of water, vomitted.

915am
We went to Dr Ravin's clinic. We were so blessed because Dr Ravin was supposed to have left on a holiday, so happened the flight was delayed and he decided to open clinic.
Donald had diarrhea in the clinic. It was so much that when I pulled open the diaper to check, it looked like a 5m deep pool in there!
Dr Ravin gave Donald a suppository to stop the vomitting, 5 days of probiotics, some hydrating ice-sicles and some other medicine in case it gets worse.

1030am
After resting his stomach for 1 hr, took apple juice with probiotics.
He was still thirsty, asked for water, drank more than half a cup, vomitted again. He stopped vomitting after that.

31/12/06 Sunday

Donald went over to Oma house, he had diarrhea once.
Mummy start to feel sick, and vomitted after some porridge at 3pm, and again at 6pm.
My whole face was full of purple dots, because of broken blood vessels due to impact of the vomit.
Went to see doctor and took a jab to stop vomitting.
Vomitted again at 11pm and 1115pm.

Donald recovered gradually, he still had diarrhea once a day until 4th Jan. Mummy also slowly recovered, but developed mastitis. After mummy's mastitis started to show signs of recovery, Daddy and Na Na started to have diarrhea....

Sigh, what a way to start a new year....

But this event showed me how much Gu Gu loves Donald. Donald vomitted all over Gu Gu and it was soooo smelly, Gu Gu is usually very particular, but she went through the whole ordeal with no complaints and full of patience. She had to shower at our house, wear Daddy's pyjamas and still followed us to the clinic and back home until late into the night. It displayed her love for Donald beyond her constant buying of gifts for him... thank you Gu Gu.

Update on Missing Blog

2006-12-29T12:09:00.000+08:00

Yippee! My missing blog is finally back! Enjoy!

My 2nd Pregnancy & Beyond...

Anecdote - Mosquito Bite

2006-12-28T14:08:00.000+08:00

Whenever Donald gets a mosquito bite, it swells up very badly.

One day, he got a mosquito bite on his leg, so to prevent him from scratching it, I put a plaster over it.

That night, he woke up crying. I climbed back onto the bed next to him and realised that he was crying cos it was so itchy. So i scratched the plaster site for him, it was somewhat relieving and he went back to sleep.

I laid next his leg and also fell asleep. He woke up and pulled my hand and put it back on the plaster site, indicating for me to keep on scratching...ha ha ha..so the whole night, I slept next to his leg. :)

Anecdote - What Works for Donald?

2006-12-26T11:20:00.000+08:00

Many people termed the 2nd year as Terrible Twos, because of their tantrums. Well, I cannot say Donald did not have his fair share of tantrums, but it wasn't very bad. We just had to go according to the'tide'.

When we are outside, in shopping centres or other people's house, I would usually give him advance warning before leaving. I would tell him '5 more minutes and we'll have to say bye bye to the toys...' etc and count down to the last minute, and I would ask him to say 'bye bye' to all the toys so that he is prepared to leave emotionally.

He is also very cute, he would really say 'bye bye' to everything.

"bye bye choo choo train.. bye bye table...bye bye chair....bye bye another chair..."

As for sharing of toys, at this age, they need to know that they own it before they are willing to share it. So when he has friends over to play and they start to fight over toys, I would tell him 'Donald, this toy is yours, ok? You can choose to share it.' and it usually works...most of the time... :)

He has entered the 3 year old mark on 26th Dec. They have a term for the 'threes' but I forgot what it is. This age, they are very inquisitive, asking alot of 'whys' and 'whats'. This is also the time where you will realise that there are many things we took for granted and when asked to explain it, we are lost for words...ha ha :)

On 26th Dec, we were driving along the road, and I was discussing with Daddy our time schedule for Carol's wedding. Donald asked 'What is wedding?' Shortly after, Daddy saw his Gap stores advertisement at the bus stop, and Donald asked 'What is advertisement?'. These are things as we know it, but how to explain to a kid? :)

MJ in the Making?

2006-12-25T17:29:00.000+08:00

I got him this to start his interest in basketball.
I know this sport will help him grow taller and fitter and bring him much friends, joy and memories, because I've been through it and this game was my love and life throughout my school days.
But he seemed keen to play golf, so I am planning to let him go for Kindergolf classes and see what how that turns out. Well, at least golf is a game that he can play till old. :)

Christmas Day 2006

2006-12-25T16:27:00.000+08:00

Finally the day arrived where Donald could open his presents!
Good waiting, Donald!

We started to sort the presents and stacked Donald's ones
up high.

The amount of presents he received is even taller than him
after stacking!

Toria with her presents.

Oma bought him a remote control lightweight helicopter.

Gu Gu got him a mini harley bike and wrapped it so nicely
in a box. Everyone was surprised to see what was inside
cos it was so small and cute!

Even Oma liked it and wanted to keep it in her collection!

Gu Gu bought nice shoes from Collette for Donald.

But it was way way too big, so poor Gu Gu had to bring
back and change for a smaller size.

Mummy got him a basketball hoop set.
Very nice and sturdy and cost only $29.90!

Donald with all his opened presents.

We added some more stuff to Gu Gu's ladybug collection!

These are all Toria's presents.

Anecdote - More DonaldTalk

2006-12-25T11:44:00.000+08:00

Here are some more excerpts on "Donald Talk"...

Toria crying very badly in the car while Mummy's driving...
'Mei Mei, don't cry la...Mummy driving, go home then feed milk ok?'

Toria crying and Donald kissed her to calm her down but to no avail...
'But I love you, mei mei...'

Trying some bittergourd soup...
'That's disgusting, Mummy' and pushed the soup bowl away.

Trying some miso soup...
'That's NOT disgusting, Mummy. It's delicious.'

Car drove by very fast, making a loud screeching sound...
'Lousy driver!'

Discussing our old house memories...
'..I prefer the new house...'

Anytime we asked a question with 'Why'...
He would answer with 'because', or 'it is because'

Grandpa is 59!

2006-12-24T21:35:00.000+08:00

Grandpa is 59 today. He came back from china just this morning and came straight to our house. He bought a remote control helicopter for Donald for Xmas.

Donald warmed up easily to this Grandpa that he hardly sees, because I prepared him the night before and also because Grandpa brought a toy for him! So realistic hor?

We went out for dim sum breakfast...

Donald tried to play with the helicopter, but when the helicopter start to whirl, Donald was so startled that he ran to Grandpa and jumped on him!

Mummy tried! Ha Ha! I was also scared! It was so hard to control. My sister tried and crashed the helicopter into the bushes and cut off a tree branch!

We had a great Xmas Eve cum birthday celebration!

2006-12-19T22:42:00.000+08:00

It was Joshua's birthday yesterday. We had a little gathering cum Xmas presents exchanging at Sherrie's house today.

The children are taking a funny face picture, Donald looked at Madison pulling her mouth...(look at Donald's expression in the next picture.)

Anecdote - Donald Talk

2006-12-19T00:04:00.000+08:00

Many people commented that Donald speaks very well for his age. :)

Here are some cute excerpts....

We got into a new Mercedes Taxi...
Donald said "Mummy, the taxi is so smelly." (it was air freshener)

Mummy got upset with Daddy and raised her voice..
Donald said "Mummy, don't bully Daddy. Cannot bully Daddy."

Nice full moon in the sky..
Donald said "Such a lovely moon!"

Say the Open top Singapore Hippo Bus...
Donald said "Such a nice bus!"

Saw a tired Mummy...
Donald said "You happy mummy?"
Mummy said "Yes, I'm a happy mummy."
Donald said "That's good :)"

Passing a Thomas Engine Clock Book for Mummy to read to him...
Donald said "I don't want to tell time, just read, Mummy"
(mummy always use this book to teach him to tell time)

Christmas Shopping

No Kiss La!

2006-12-16T17:31:00.000+08:00

Donald is coming 3 years, he has reached a stage where he doesn't want to be kissed in public anymore. Even when I drop him off in his classroom, usually he would kiss me goodbye. Now when I ask him to kiss me goodbye, he will shake his head. Even when I want to kiss him, he would turn away.

Sigh, people say don't spoil them, don't carry them etc etc. But our philosophy is...

Carry them,
Hug them,
Kiss them,
As much as we can,
While we still can,
For as long as we can.

Because when they get too heavy, independent, or reach certain stages, we can't anymore. :)

Sentosa Outing

2006-12-15T20:45:00.000+08:00

Stephanie suggested a Sentosa outing. We went really early in the morning. We were the first in queue for the luge and sky chair ride.

The sky chair was really quite scary I thought, but Donald was really steady, he kept saying that it is not scary. Auntie Steph even dropped one side of her slipper on our 3rd ride up. :) Thank goodness it was near the beginning, so the staff could retrieve it for her.

Nope, Donald did not fall down. Because he saw Alexis lying down on the sand, he also wanted to try, but so happened he was facing the sun, so he found it very glaring.

We went to Sakae Sushi for lunch. So nice it started to rain. We got to enjoy the sun while it lasted. The rain stopped right after we finished our lunch. So blessed hor?

Baby Alycia has such beautiful eyes, just like the mummy :)

Hazel's Wedding

2006-12-10T16:54:00.000+08:00

We are on the way to Arts House for Hazel's wedding. Hazel is Mummy's fellow dancer from church.

Donald attended his 1st wedding at Arts House too!
It was Pearlyn's wedding, when he was barely a few months old.

This is the 1st time Toria is attending a wedding, and coincidentally, it is also at the arts house!

The cap that Donald is wearing, he chose it himself from Daddy's Gap store. Nice isn't it?

Mummy's Cap

2006-12-07T17:54:00.000+08:00

Oma bought this cap for Mummy, Donald took it and wore it. He looked so cute!

Donald's Xmas Present

2006-12-03T18:01:00.000+08:00

We bought a 12" bicycle from Carrefour as Donald's Xmas present. He has to get used to not being able to paddle backwards. He still does not know how to use the brakes, and thus had a bad experience moving too fast downslope. So now when he sees a downslope, he would dismount his bicycle and push it along instead. :)

'You must bao bao mei mei, then mei mei don't cry, then mei mei feel better.'

A Saturday with Alexis

2006-11-25T15:23:00.000+08:00

Both their daddies were busy.

One was busy visiting his shops. The other was out of town.

So the two kids had another chance to play together.

Ernesto & Emilio Visits!

2006-11-23T15:07:00.000+08:00

Donald enjoyed having Ernesto over so much!

He cried when they left.

He held my hand and said, 'Mummy, I want Ernesto....'

Anecdote - Sleeping Arrangments

2006-11-02T21:46:00.000+08:00

Now that Victoria is born, I have to handle 2 children at night. It is especially hard when Donald wants me to hug him, while Victoria is hungry and wants to nurse.

But slowly, Donald is getting better. One night, he waited patiently until I can settle Victoria. Then I went over to hug him and he fell asleep.

Another night, Victoria was taking abit too long to fall asleep, so I could not attend to Donald. Finally, Donald was too tired, so he shifted over to me, hug my back (since I was lying down sideways to nurse Victoria) and fell asleep almost immediately. Very sweet! :)

Anecdote - I'm a boy!

2006-11-02T21:42:00.000+08:00

Recently there has been so much cooking in the kitchen, so the floor is usually oily.
We tried to prevent Donald from going into the kitchen, so we told him that "boys are not allowed in the kitchen, it is only for girls"

So while we were playing with his pizzahut toys, I asked him to make a pizza for me, he said "Mummy, I am a boy! I don't need to cook!"

1st Gathering after Birth

2006-10-31T16:44:00.000+08:00

We had another gathering today, with all the new babies! Sherrie with Sarah and Joshua. Steph with Alycia and Alexis. A pity Linda couldn't make it....

Donald playing doctor with Joshua. I usually 'squirt' him medicine using the syringe. Here he is, imitating me and feeding Joshua medicine.

This is one classic pix!

Had some snack..

All of them danced heartily once ' again, to the "i like to move it, move it" mtv

Donald watched an episode of "you think you can dance" last night. And today, he not just danced, he had many different poses too!

Hugs and Kisses!

Looks more like wrestling hor?

Of course we did not forget Alycia! Alycia...wait ok? Wait for Sarah and Victoria to get a little older, then you will have your own gang to grow up with! :)

When he reached the top, he looked at me and exclaimed "Mummy, I am tall Donald!"

Our Baju Kurong Boy

2006-10-20T14:39:00.000+08:00

Today, there is a celebration in school for Deepa Raya. I asked my massage lady to help Donald get a Baju Kurong from Geylang. He looked so cute in it! From the back, he looked like a kungfu master Wong Fei Hung.

Knocked Out...Again!

2006-10-19T14:36:00.000+08:00

Once again, he was so tired, he just stop in his 'tracks' and fell asleep!

Major Scare on 18th Sept

2006-10-13T18:35:00.000+08:00

We were at Thomson Plaza, going up the escalator. Donald always likes to stand to the side and hold the handrail. He was doing that when his croc got caught at the side and the heat burnt the rubber. He nearly could not get his foot out! As we pulled, the whole escalator step tilted backwards and I nearly fell off the escalator! Thank Goodness we are alright. Now Donald doesn't try to hold the siderail anymore. He stands in the centre and holds our hands.

31st May Gathering

2006-10-13T17:10:00.000+08:00

Daddy is tired...but Donald wants soome more!

1st School Bus Ride

2006-10-02T18:15:00.000+08:00

For this month, I will not be able to send Donald to school personally. So we decided to let Donald take the school bus, accompanied by Oma. For $150 per month, we decided to do it for 1 month. Donald was really excited and really enjoyed the ride to and from school.

What is Donald's Talent?

2006-09-20T15:57:00.000+08:00

I clicked on a link and did a little test after reading Joshua's mummy's blog.
And here is the result.

What is your Child's Learning Talent?

by Montessorimom.com: Educational Resource

People who know Donald, what do you think? Is this accurate?

I was an athlete myself in my school days..I somehow wonder whether that greatly influenced my parenting style, or it influenced my view of Donald...hmmm....

Love,

Donald's Mummy

Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite Video

2006-09-20T15:04:00.000+08:00

Every night, since very young, I would tell Donald "Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!". Soon he picked it up, and everytime we said "Good night...", he would continue the rest of the verse for us. Here is he saying good night to oma and ogu. We are downstairs of their hdb block.

Pony Ride Again

2006-09-19T18:38:00.000+08:00

We went for a pony ride again.

This time, we rode the horse carriage too!

Pony Ride @ Zoo

2006-09-18T18:30:00.000+08:00

We were walking towards the pony ride corner, when this crane/stork looking bird flew and landed right in front of us. I take it as a sign that it is delivering my 2nd child to me. i.e. giving birth soon :)

This is "King" the pony.

Donald refused to ride the pony at first. Thanks to a little girl who came along. I had to tell him that the little girl will ride the pony if he doesn't want to. He immediately allowed to be carried onto the pony.:)

We went to Haagen Daaz. I asked them to put the chocolate rice topping in a seperate bowl because I knew Donald liked it. In the end, he didn't even touch the ice cream!

Botanical Garden Long Walk

We went to Botanical Gardens, wanted to feed the ducks. Went to the Swan Lake side, but nothing there, so we walked all the way to the symphony lake.

Blessing...

It had been fun to have several mummies whose journey synchronised with me...and more so that we kept in contact, met up often, and supported each other along the way.

Linda, whose elder son Andrew, is about 3 months older than Donald. She was the 1st to pop, on 12 Sep. 2nd child, a girl, named Amber.

Sherrie, whose elder son Joshua, is about 2 months older than Donald. She should be next to pop, should be end Sept. 2nd child, a girl, going to name her Sarah.

Next should be me, should be latest by mid Oct. 2nd child, a girl, naming her Victoria.

Stephanie was alot faster. Her elder daughter, Alexis, is about 1 month older than Donald. Her 2nd daughter, Alycia, was born in Feb this year, so about 6 months older than all our 2nd children.

It is so interesting to have this group, with the children so close in age, which I hope they can become childhood buddies with each other, play and grow up together.

Anyway, with Linda popping, suddenly reality dawns...very soon, I will also have a small little being in my arms. :) Well, can't wait!

Love,

Donald's Mummy

I like to move it - the Video

Joshua and Mummy came to our place before moving off to see Linda. Joshua requested for the "I like to move it" music video from Madagascar the moment I opened the door for him. The 2 of them danced to the music like 5 times I think!

Sports Day Collage

They displayed a collage of the sports day photos outside the classroom. Here are some 'excerpts'.

Linda & Amber

2006-09-13T16:20:00.000+08:00

Linda had her baby Amber on 12 Sept. We went to visit her at TMC today. Donald was really excited to see baby Amber. He said "Baby Amber drink Mummy's ni ni" :)

Welcome to the world, Baby Amber!

Nesting Instinct?

2006-09-11T16:24:00.000+08:00

We went ikea to buy some shelves to arrange Donald's toys, books and stuff. I told Daddy, this must be the nesting instinct of mummies who are about to deliver. :)

Getting used to Pregnant Mummy

2006-09-10T11:59:00.000+08:00

My bulge is really getting bigger, Donald had to find a way around it. :)

Poor 'Mummy Toe'!

2006-09-09T16:13:00.000+08:00

On 31 Aug, I opened our main door, not knowing Donald was coming towards it and his 'mummy toe' got caught in the door. Cried like a baby of course.... 9 days later, the nail is hanging off his toe...

MacDonald's!

2006-09-09T16:09:00.000+08:00

Our favorite duck noodle store in Tanglin Halt was not open, so Macdonalds at Ridout it is!

Donald loves the sausage. No hotcake...little hashbrown, but he can wallop a sausage by himself.

Zebra Toy

2006-09-09T16:07:00.000+08:00

We found this zebra toy in a make shift store outside the zoo. Donald has been carrying it around, everywhere! He goes to school and finds a zebra toy and holds on to it all day too! Gu Gu was commenting that it looks so weird to see him carrying a 'soft toy' around, because before this, it was always cars, trains, machines....:)

Ear Wax!

2006-09-08T23:34:00.000+08:00

First time we dig this out of his ear! Such a big piece! Dr Ravin did say one of his ear has quite abit of ear wax, but we never cleared it cos he didn't like us cleaning his ear. This one was sticking out for easy picking. He thought it was a worm!

Alexis Visits!

2006-09-07T23:32:00.000+08:00

Stephanie brought her 2 daughters to our house today. Last week, when the other mummies came, with all boys, they all just played on their own, but today was different. Alexis came and Donald wanted to play together with her. They had so much fun!

Alexis wore a really sexy Paint 8 shorts. Took a pix to show Daddy cos this is one of his brands!

Donald never enjoyed this with me, maybe cos I am too 'heavy', no fun! finally someone of the same size, they had so much fun see-sawing together and singing 'row row row the boat'

Alexis is really agile, just 1 month older than Donald.

Gender Education

2006-09-07T22:49:00.000+08:00

I had the chance to shower Alexis and Donald together after their waterplay today.

Stephanie said it is good practice for me since Victoria is coming soon and that it is better to educate them on the gender differences while they are yet young.

Well, do you know what was Donald's reaction?

When Donald saw that Alexis does not have a 'gu gu', He said 'Alexis's gu gu is BROKEN!'
