Snippets of Isaac from end of 2014

You have started to tell jokes and was really impressed with this, thinking you made it up, but you actually heard it from somewhere
'Why did the cow cross the road?
Coz he wanted to go to the MMMooooovies'

Ric: Daddy has big muscles coz I carry you(Isaac) all the time
Isaac:  Good! coz this means I give you strength

Isaac: Do you know why they are called windows?
Me: ??
Isaac: It's because the 'wind' comes in!!

Isaac sees me put on some blusher getting ready for work and tells me
'Mummy, you do not need to put on any make-up.  You're pretty'
Aaaawwwww.....

More recently, there are less of these snippets, and more sensible conversation

His version of the World Map (according to Risk)

His drawing of 'Samyi and Justin'

Detours of life

I decided that it was time to start jotting down my thoughts and life with the family and kids again, or I may regret it for the rest of my life.  The silence of 9 months was not intended, but that's the way life is, and there has been so many life lessons learnt.

You begin a journey, and make all the best plans in the world, but you may not end up where you intended to be.  However, trials may be wake-up calls to make us a better person, question what is important in life and embrace it, and appreciate what we have been blessed with.

So, what happened in 9 months, apart from us all having added another 9 months to our age?  Isaac started in Reception (proper school), we had an amazing year end holiday in Melbourne, KK and KL, (made us realise how nice it is to be chilled), my parents came over and we celebrated CNY and Easter together, and I went part-time and had a soul-searching experience.

And so we journey on.....

Isaac - 5 years old and starting reception - post written from Sept 2014

Oh dear!!  This post was written in Sept 2014!!

My reception boy!!  You were so happy and excited on your first day of school.  I suppose it was nothing really new as you have been in the same school for nearly 2 years and have already made friends, but it was that you were no longer in nursery, and is now proper school going.  Thankfully you still enjoy it the majority of time.  

Happy birthday my boy
