'Wakey wakey'

You have refused to nap in the weekends at home over the past few months. So, it will either resort in you crashing out at about 6pm, or in us going for a drive so that you'll fall asleep.

Spell of good weather

It's supposed to only be the beginning of spring but we had a few superb summery weather where the temperature was as high as 20 degrees. Sunny days should never be wasted and so we went to feed the ducks in the park, and enjoyed some sun shine. But, everybody has the same idea and the floor was full of bread as the ducks were too full :)

Me: Let's go feed the ducks
Isaac: Ducks don't want bread anymore

'Lip-smackingly good ice-cream - you finished the whole cone'

Ye Yi's visit

Ye yi had a conference in Vienna and so could not resist dropping by to visit you. You were so happy to see her and actually went out shopping the whole day with us with minimal complaint :) My initial plans were to celebrate her birthday by going out for a nice meal (also good excuse for dining out which is a rarity nowadays). But, she craved british food. In the end, we had pub lunches and ate in our regular Toby's Carvery for dinner.

You insisted on holding her bag

Very pleased with yourself after completing your new jigsaws bought from the day's shopping

I was so amused that you looked for your truck and 'fire engine' to put on the jigsaws after finishing them.

Nursery rhymes

I'm not sure if you've learnt these songs through us singing with you or from nursery. It's probably from watching too much utube :)

Wisdom Tooth

Richard had his wisdom tooth extracted 2 weeks ago and this was what happened at dinner time

Richard: Isaac, dada's mouth painful coz tooth taken out
Isaac: Isaac's arm painful, Isaac's knee also painful (bruise from knocks)

We just laughed.

The age gap between 2 kids

I came across a very well written article on baby centre when they sent the most recent update. It was about the best age gap between 2 children - 'Sibling age gaps: How they affect families'. Of course there's no best gap, but the way they discussed all the pros and cons for close and large gaps were very reasonable and practical.

Just very timely as of course everybody's asking about number 2. We know that now's not the right time as there's too much on our plates at the moment. Plus, the summary of the article says it all 'If you feel that you're just about keeping your head above water, and you have time on your side, it makes sense to wait'. I'll add that I want to enjoy all the time I now have with you.
