Time with Isaac

I've been advised to spend as much time with Isaac before the arrival of the little one as it will never be the same again.  Coincidentally it was also his school holidays so we have had lots of time together this whole week - Him, my parents and me.  I've really enjoyed it and think he has grown a lot more 'manja' with me.  Ooopppss.. hopefully he'll adjust after the baby comes. 

Some funny/cheeky conversations:

We were driving past 'Liverpool Eye' (big ferris wheel) one day
Me: Look Isaac, its the big wheel!!  Do you want to go on it?
Isaac:  Mummy, we can only go on it when we have the money.
I was stunned for a while until I remembered why he said it and burst out laughing.  He wanted to go on it after the 'Disney on Ice' show (same place) and I said we can't coz we had no money.  Amazing he remembered!!

My mom saw Isaac took 'his' iphone (our old iphone 3) to play
Popo: Isaac, you didn't ask mummy permission to play on the phone
Isaac:  This phone is mine.  I don't need to ask myself
Me *pengsan* 

Isaac:  Popo, you are handsome
Popo:  No, handsome is for boys and beautiful is for girls
Isaac:  But popo, you are handsome like a boy
Popo chuckled as she realised that she was wearing a shirt and a jumper over it and just had a haircut

Kite flying - Liverpool

It was such a fun experience in London that we did it again, and again, and again in Liverpool :)  We first started at a small garden in the housing estate.  But, the space was limited and the kite kept getting caught in the trees.  So, Otterspool we headed for, on 2 different occasions.  It was amazing fun but freezing cold due to the riverside wind!!  As the wind was so strong, kite flying was really quite simple and everybody had a go. 

Again??!! What should we do??

Compare the difference - 'Taking off' in the small garden in the housing estate

'Taking off' in Otterspool

With the kite flying so high, there's the risk of the string coming to the end (and Isaac not realising or strong enough to hang on to it), and away the kite goes with Richard or Justin running after it.  Thankfully it never flew towards the river!!

The waiting game - 38 weeks

It is now 38 weeks.  Everything has been ready and we're awaiting your arrival baby :)  Although I feel huge and like a 'humpty dumpty', you're apparently smaller than your 'koko'.  Still, you're equally active inside, and will definitely miss the feeling of your movements when you decide to come.

Easter Sunday

Thank God for Easter and the hope and life that Jesus brings!!

There was another short performance in church by the Sunday School kids but somehow you were still not keen to participate ;) Will await another occasion.

Friend's Nursery Mates

You were invited to your best guy friend, 'J', from 'Friend's Nursery''s birthday party last weekend.  We were a little apprehensive of you going as were not sure how you would react seeing all your old good friends from there.   Well... we needn't have, coz you had loads of fun at the party with your old friends, and still talk about your new friends from Belvedere.  Looks like you're quite adaptable :)

'J' exposed and taught you all about 'Spiderman', his favourite character when you were at Friend's

Spaceport

It was the Easter weekend and 'Sam Yi' and Uncle Justin visited to your delight!!  You once brought back a story book series on 'Space' called 'Boffin boy and ....' and since have liked comets, astronauts and spaceships, so we had a day out in Spaceport.  To be honest it was quite small (and only worth it coz we paid for it in Tesco coupons ;)).  Still, the weather was really nice and we had a nice stroll by the river.

Impressed by the planetarium - nearly fully inclined chairs, and a few of us had a snooze

You were surprised that the 'rocket' started moving as you probably thought they were stationary coz we normally do not put in coins for you
