Cranky Kieran
I am extremely tired today! Woke up at 8plus, gave them their milk; cooked their lunch and bathed the kids.. nothing unusual.. however, daddy is not feeling well so he rested the whole morning. I had to look after them myself. After feeding Kieran his lunch, I put him in the playpen and fed Kayla. Kieran got a little impatient staying inside and started screaming. So no choice but to wake up daddy to watch over him..
About 1pm, I put Kieran to bed. I quickly went to shower when Kayla was watching playhouse disney. Kieran woke up 15mins later! I tried to put him to bed again but he kept wanting to come down to walk.. again no choice, I have to ask daddy to company him (daddy was feeling drowsy from the flu med).
I gave Kayla her milk and she slept at 2pm. I have no appetite so just ate cup noodles and biscuits. After my so-called lunch, I put Kieran inside his playpen to watch his all time favourite BARNEY show. This is the ONLY way to make him sit/stand still. I sat next to the playpen, preparing my ang baos for CNY.
Just as I thought I can lie down for a while (backache!!), Kayla woke up from her nap! Gave the kids apples and rested on the sofa.
Kieran kept walking around the house.. daddy and I took turns to follow him around. We tried to trick him into the playpen (again) with toys but he will scream his lungs out. At 4.30pm, I tried to make him sleep but everytime I put him down on his bed, he will cry. So no choice, daddy carried him (at least Kieran got some rest).
At 6pm, we set off to my parent's place for reunion dinner (in laws are in Melb).. At my parent's place, Kieran kept fussing/crying.. maybe he was abit scared to see so many relatives.
We reached home at 9.30pm. Bathed the kids and daddy put Kieran to bed. Kayla was good, she slept after a bottle of milk. Then Kieran woke up crying at 10.30pm.. drank half bottle of milk only. He must be teething.. so moody and uncomfortable. Finally, he slept at 11pm (fingers crossed!!).

Gong Xi Gong Xi
When we were kids/teenagers, my mom never failed to get new pajamas, shoes and clothes for us. And when we wake up in the morning (1st day of CNY), we will find red packet under our pillow "ya shui qian". The feeling is wonderful... of having such a loving, thoughtful mother.
So I want my kids to experience all these little fun traditions I went through.. Check out the PJs and the sister-brother T-shirts I bought..
Had a hard time getting them to sit still!

My baby is unwell
Sometimes I wish I can prevent my children from falling sick or from getting hurt. Unfortunately, I cant.. Children are more prone to viruses and over time they will have stronger immune system.. a statement I have heard of so many times but I still cant help feeling lousy when they fall sick.
Kieran took his 15mths jab on the 28th Jan'08. Doctor said he may have fever between the 5th to the 10th day. Today is the 8th day and he has slight fever, plus he has runny nose for 3 days already. He slept for less than an hour in the afternoon (usually he will nap for 2-3hrs) and kept fussing. Mom said maybe hes teething..
Finally after a bottle of milk, he slept at 9.30pm.
I hope he gets well soon.. I want to bring him for a swim.
This photo was taken when he was 4 months old. I love this photo!

Helmet please
To date, Kieran has knocked his head 5 times. First time, he rolled off the bed. Second time, he was pushed down by my nephew accidentally. Third time, he knocked into my neighbour's gate. Fourth time, he knocked into the cash counter at shop and save. Fifth time, which is today, he stepped on a toy and fell. Heart pain!!

New pair of shoes (CNY)
Pediped shoes from US for Kieran. Clarks for Kayla. Check out the Clarks sole.. So cute!Sunday lunch
Every Sunday, we will have lunch with my in laws. Today we went to Ashton Prime steak house. Ashton has 3 types of steak restaurant- Ashton specialties; Ashton express and Ashton prime. The one we like most and value for money is Ashton express (at a coffee shop).
Anyway, we decided to try Ashton prime today.. and regretted! It supposed to serve better steak and bigger portion but no.. it didnt taste as nice and VERY expensive.
My brother in law & Kieran. Naughty Kieran couldnt sit still.

What a week!
Busy week.. other than my usual morning routine- bring Kayla to school and hang around in school for 2 hrs, I had to run some errands and last minute CNY shopping.
Yesterday I brought Kayla to heartland mall. Well, as usual she asked to ride in the barney car. There was this bunch of kids jumping in and out of the car. Their father was standing nearby. I took out a coin and looked at their father.. he quickly carried the youngest child and grabbed the other 2 kids out of the car. When I was helping Kayla to get in the car, the older child pounced on the windscreen and waited happily for me to put the coin in. OMG!! Ok nevermind, I am in the festive mood so let him be. Then this little rascal one minute jumped next to Kayla, next minute hopped to the back of the car like a spiderman! I was so irritated! ARRGGHHHH!
Today had a little debate with sicko ricko. He told me I need to let go and let Kayla learn to be on her own in school. I explained that I will but I cannot just disappear suddenly. Anyone who know her well, will know that she has stranger aniexty and her heart wrenching crying.. cannot imagine if I just walk away. I told him I will adopt what her teacher advised.. that is to leave the class for 15mins for a few days.. then 30mins.. then 1hr etc. Case closed.
Then I told him about Kayla knowing how to ask for the things she wants.. like that day I brought her shopping to buy a new water bottle, she picked one that is meant to store cold drinks only and she said "same as my school friend".. I said no, Mummy will buy a Dora non spill/leak straw bottle (like the previous one but different colour and picture). Upon hearing this, sicko ricko started to "nag".. said why I "force" her to like the things I like. I told him I am just being practical... if the things she asks for are not useful, why waste money? Anyway, he bought a toy ironing set for her from kiddy palace..maybe he heartpain she didnt get to buy her "dream bottle". Ha ha.
