Caden 20th month birthday celebration

Time flies by so fast. First he was learning to flip, then learning to crawl. Then learning to stand, then learning to walk. Now Caden is 20 months old already and he is running like Fernando Torres. Well miss the time when he is a baby but at the same time looking forward to his developement.

Today is the first day of mama's invigilation as a CPE and she is pretty stress about it. So we made plans for me to come home fast, bathe Caden and zoom him out of the house to meet mama.
So once it's 5. I put down all my work and hurried to the bus stop. Soon I was back around 6 and Caden has just finished his milk. Just nice. As bathing after milk is not good for digestion, I play with him for a while with my iPhone. He absolutely loves the 3 little pigs cartoon on my device. Though it's a 1933 Disney classic. It still entertains him alot.

After ample rest, I bathed the naughty boy and dressed him up. He was really co-operative and did not give me any headache. Phew. I bathed after he is done. Mama called soon after I finished my shower. She was on her way to the examination center and was able meet me in the vicinity. So cap and shoes on and Caden and me were out in a jiffy.
We took a cab at sim lim in order to reach tiong bahru fast.
Once in the cab, caden was polite he said hello to the uncle and thanked him for taking us. The uncle was amused. Along the way, Caden was entertained with my iPhone as usual. Not only was he into the videos I have downloaded for him. He also enjoy playing the different apps such as counting, spelling and recognizing sounds. He has been getting better and better on it. So much so that I can leave the iPhone with him and he can complete the activities on his own. He can even switch apps without my assistance and turn up the volume. To be frank, I am skeptical about introducing an electronic entertainment device to him. So I make it a point that he can only use the iPhone when we are around so that when he is going through the activities, we can educate and explain to him what he is doing.

Oh, back to the event of the day. Along the way, I decided that Caden had enough of the iPhone and encouraged him to take a look outside. We were at orchard road by this time and I pointed to him the different buildings and places. His attention was caught by the big tv display on the ION building. And he keep saying big big tv. Haha. It was cute.
Soon after, we reached Tiong Bahru Plaza. Mama was waiting for us at the taxi stand and opened the door for us. Both mama and Caden were delighted to see each other. I can see that mama has a rough day and the sight of Caden absolutely erased that memory from her.
We proceeded to Beppu Japanese Noodle Restaurant for our favourite food, Ramen. Ambience there was quite ok. It's not too cramped and noisy and there's food for Caden on the menu. While me and dear was deciding on what to order, Caden was playing with 2 long dessert and drinks menu. He was flapping happily away like a bird. Then he caught sight of this japanese ornament hanging by the window and started flapping at it. Next thing he know, the ornament dropped on the floor and Caden was shocked. He stopped whatever he was doing and stared blankly at me. His eyes was watering. I told him it's because he is naughty and told him not cry. But as soon as I finshed my sentence, the dam broke. He was crying so loud and terribly. He demanded his mama to carry and hug him. Haha. I thought it is funny and snap away on my camera. He rejected all methods I tried to cheer him up. He only want 抱 抱. He manged to stop only when I showed him I kept the ornament elsewhere. Haha. Kids.
Afterwhich, he was back in his seat, happily waiting for his feast. And soon he was back to his usual self. We ordered 1 chashu ramen, 1 fried karage chicken ramen, 1 plate of tofu, 1 plate of gyoza and 1 chawamitsu. The chawamisu was ordered specially for Caden. He loved it. Even though it is hot, he still wants it. Basically the little greedy big ate everything from the table. He knows what he like and what he don't like. Those things that he want, he will demand it and eat it satisfyingly. And if he don't like certain food, he will say no no and refused. And this is the case with his chawamisu. He enjoyed it so much that after he finished one. He asked us for another one. Ai yeoh, seeing him enjoying himself so much, we ordered another one for him.
After dinner is done, we walked around the mall for a while. We bought Caden a small Winnie the pooh cake and Some donuts and pie Kia's pies for my in-laws. We did not walk much because it was late and we wanted to go home to blow the candles with caden's po po and gong gong.

We took a cab back and was back in 10 mins. Cleaned up the dirty boy and prepared the cake. The little prince was so happy when we were singing the birthday song. Smiling all throughout. And as usual, when he blew out the candle, he said "mum mum" haha. So we cut a small bit for him to eat. I thought he just eaten? Haha.
Our little precious. And that's how his 20th month celebration goes.

Mama at camp

Mama is at camp now... Missing Caden baby a lot. But really glad that he is recovering from his slight fever and flu... According to Tita, there is no sneezing and fever yesterday. I called him at 8 plus and he said I love you to me.. Really missed my little precious.. But I am glad that its only a 3days 1night camp so I can see him soon.. Yeah...

Slight Fever and Flu

Caden has been down with slight fever and flu for the past 2 days after his flu jab. According to the PD, nurses, my colleagues, it is a norm for kids to fall sick after the flu jab. We are trying to help his slight fever down by giving him medicine once every 6 hours. As for his flu, as its mild, I decided to let him fight the virus on his own. Lets hope he will get well soon.

Flu Jab

Brought Caden for his flu jab as its my marking day today. After clocking in 5 hours, I rushed home to bring him for his 1st flu jab... He will have 2 doses of flu jab. This is to protect him from any flu virus when we fly to HK for our family holiday. Yes!!! We are finally planning for our little family overseas holidays. I have not gone overseas for 3 years because of Caden. Deardear and I know that we will not leave Caden alone in Singapore if we are going for holidays overseas. So we waited till he is old enough to understand and old enough to be safe to go overseas. Deardear and I have booked our tickets and we are leaving on 28th Nov and coming back on 2nd Dec... Disneyland will be one of the highlights... Cable car rides, visiting of Lautau Island to pray, shopping, eating and enjoying our little family time...

Caden and the poster...

Took a train to meet deardear at Chinatown station as we need to book our HK trip.. Finally... While waiting for deardear to arrive, I took a pic of Caden talking to a poster with an old man inside the poster... So cute.. He looked like as if he is in the poster.
Deardear and I decided on a 5D4N HK trip which includes 2D at disneyland. We spent a total $2300 on the air tix and hotel accomodation and 2 D at disneyland pass. A little ex though but I am really looking forward to it.. Been 3 yrs since I travelled and also first time bringing Caden overseas... Hehe...

MMR Vaccination

Caden has taken his last MMR vaccination today as I am on MC. I decided to drag my tired body to bring Caden to take his MMR shot as I am worried about measles after the last round of faked measles scare.

The brave boy cried for a short while when Doc Ong started to inject into his arm. However, once the needle is pulled out, he stopped crying immediately. What a brave boy. He even tried to converse with Doc Ong. No wonder Doc Ong was very surprised with his powerful vocab and ability of speech. According to Doc Ong, for his age, he is a talent in his ability of speech.. I am really proud of this naughty boy of mine.. Hehe.. I decided to award him with a pooh bear pyjamas from Toys'RUs. Hehe..

After reaching home, I went directly to bed as I was really tired..
