Diaper free ...OR not yet "P

Time flies....just in a flip of eye, you are now 4 years old.

I know many toddlers @ 4 has stopped using diaper however I do not wanna push things if you are not ready. Although u have not used diaper during afternoon naps but at nights it is still a necessity...until yesterday night, you just decided you would not want to wear it to sleep anymore (how delightfull :) when mummy hear it...my boy has grown up). So mummy follows your will....and hope for the best !! hahaha...

So I kept on reminding you ...remember don't wee wee on bed, ok. Please call mummy when you wanna go...ok...

Occassionally I woke up (sleepily of coz) touching your pants just to check on you....well...things were going on well. When both of us woke up the next morning, I checked again by touching your pant..hmmm....good job! It's dry! Eeeyeah....i turned and told your papa, hey our boy has successfully stayed dry the 1st night ...yeah yeah yeah........

hahaha..happiness does not last too long....then suddenly papa saw a WET SPOT at the corner of the bed, which is almost dry.. hahaha so we guess that Jojo has wet his bed but nobody knows, as he was all dry in the morning! Kesian Jojo...you must have slept throught the night with your wet pant and it got dry itself.....I hope you didn't catch cold for this :)

Nevermind....don give up...let's try again TONIGHT :)

Jojo reading :)

Wow! Jojo can read now....I am so proud of you darling :D

Mommy found out that you can read during our bedtime story session last night. We were reading the leapfrog sing-along read-along series, and then only I realised you can recognise some of the words and even reading the word one by one (althought not the whole book)...but it's more than enough to get mommy truely excited to see you reading!!

Here's a video clip to keep the moment in mind.....">

Happy 4th B'day Jojo

Second week of school

A sudden twist to the wonderful orientation week we had earlier.....dear Jojo has been crying the whole week long every time he reach the nursery.....

I have to tried convince him going into the class 1st day of this week, and he wouldnt let go of me at all. Eventually the principal came and ask me to leave him with the class teacher, as he need to go through this route of crying....the longer I stay the more difficult for him to let go!

So no choice I just left him crying and begging to go home....and after the school, I called the principal to get to know what happened to Jojo after I left...

According to the teacher, he cried for another 10-15 mins, then Jojo asked for seeing the principal (what!!??) So Mrs Sebastine asked him 'yes I am the principal, what can i help u?" And guess what, little Jojo replied that he want to ask from the principal the key to open the door...Later Mrs Sebastine told me this has become the topic among them for the day, and she will remember Jojo for this...haha

Soon after that Jojo settled down but want to hang on to the little assistance (che che) and the che che has to carry him most of the time.

The drama went on for the whole week....aiii....

1st day to Nursery

With the new year coming, 4th Jan 2010 Jojo will be attending his 1st day of school in Nursery. So, the mummy is very excited....hopefully all went well...


Jojo had gone to nursery before @ Qdees...half year ago (June09) but only lasted for one semester. so off and on he only attended few weeks of classes due to falls sick, public holidays etc...and after that we totally let him just stayed at home due to the H1N1 flu was at its peak second half of 2009....


I still recall him crying everyday begging not to go to school. And dressing him up in the school uniform was a hassle and nightmare as he was crying through the whole process.....

Ta da....! come 1st day of school....4th Jan 2010...

Surprisingly no cry no kicking at all !

Althought this caught me wondering...but I am so glad he took it well this time...

Orientation week was a pleasant one! Jojo even commented that some boy cried in his class ...
I was there for 3 days watching him over a hidden glass window and things looks fine so far.

Most of the time, Jojo will just observe his surrounding and the classmates and the teacher....seldom he participate (yet) but for me it's as good as it could be...well done Jo!

Twinkle twinkle little star ><

Jojo sings! His very first song he is able to sing in full, without missing any words (wow...) is "twinkle twinkle little stars" :)

I guess it has something to do with me sang the same song to him while I was carrying him. Coz mummy is not good in singing, and that is a simple song I can sing for you ;)

This is a special moment for Jojo, in mommy's opinion. I will try to capture a video on this so that he can listen back one day ..haha...

Photo snapping by Jojo

A series of photos taken by Jojo - trying to snap his favorite pal, baby Elley :)

Hide and Seek

Where are you, oh where are you.....

Haha, Jojo now can play hide and seek with mommy! how fun :)

Basically is mommy hiding, and Jojo trying to look for me. So far, I only play hide and seek with Jojo in a room, not extending outside room. If not, Jojo still get panic if cannot find me for too long. However, he is still not able to play "hide" as I guess he don't really understand the concept fully yet. Yet, he knows that he has to close his eye (with something, eg, pillow) while I go hiding somewhere. Well...sometimes Jojo peeks too ..haha.. and also "request" mommy to hide at specific location (like behind the curtain etc)....hmmm....

No matter what, mommy enjoys every moments with you, darling !

Who's feet is it?

What a nice nail colour.......hey Jojo! isn't that your feet :) haha

Yeah...after looking at us (myself and Ah Ma) putting on nail polish on our feets...you demand also.

So one day, when mommy is back from work, i saw my little boy smiling with joy for having his nails polished with colour. (wat to do, ah ma said u kept demanding for it..)

The next day, u asked mommy to put colour on those little nails...so I got you some pink colour instead. anyway, the pink doesn't really show up in this picture.

Well..the episode ends after 3-4 days. After mommy removed the nail polish the night before CNY, until now you no longer ask for it. Hehe, so i guess it is more of like "hangat hangat tahi ayam".

Making up bed

One morning, when mommy wanted to make up the bed, Jojo just refused to move away and laying still ....so mommy just don't care and cover you with the blanket.

After awhile, you still laying still so I decided to snap a photo of you, covering with blanket ( a rare sight) but yet adorable in the eye of mommy "P


.....mommy doesn't need to wait long though, you started to stick out your little feet and then that's the end of Jojo laying quitely. Next you come over to look at the camera and ask me to hand it over.

CNY - My first Fire Cracker!

On your 3rd CNY, at the age of two and half year old (29 months)....Jojo get to play his very 1st fire cracker!

Although Jojo was quite scare at first, but after observing for awhile you got brave to try one at your own...after that, you asked for more and more.... :)

Happy New Year Jojo, and may you grow up healthy and fill with happiness always...

Mommy and daddy loves U

Favorite Songs

Jojo has some favorite songs he wanted me to sing every night to get him to sleep. Although I am not so a good singer, still need to satisfy his request ...to get him to sleep...

Sometimes he sings together with me... well, of coz it sounds sweet in mommy's ear :)

The lists are:-
1) Are you sleeping
2) Old Mcdonald has a farm (Jojo version : Donald and the farm :> )
3) Elephent ( modified version from Barney ...it goes like,
Elephent~~ Arrgghhh...(usually the argh sound done by Jojo)
has a long big trunk, when she speaks, it's like trumpet sound~~
Elephent~~ Arrgghhh...
has 2 bigs ears, all the sound in the jungle she can hear~~
Elephent~~ Arrgghhh...
4) Lullaby
5) Rock a-bye baby

Fun at the playground

At age of 2+ now, Jojo really starts to enjoy having fun at the playground as compared to when he was younger. I still remembered he only like to sit on the slide the last time he came to YouthPark, and we have to carry him up to slide down.

Now....he can do it all by himself. He can now hold firmly to the swing while daddy swinged him, and also start to explore other things around him. :)

I love swimming

Since I am at home for almost 2 weeks (on leave due to plant shut down) and I am so free and so thought of bringing Jojo swimming today. He just loves swimming so much....well, he got excited just hearing that we are going....

After packing all the gear, we (Jojo, me and ah ma) headed to the club for a afternoon swim. Jojo was so happy to see the water and I was trying to capture his pictures playing water and swimming. Unfortunately, once Jojo goes into the pool, mommy can't snap any more photos coz I need to accompany you ma....and Ah ma don't know how to operate mommy's camera...sign...

My favorite Super Mario

Jojo's favorite is the Super Mario, the one and only game he wanted to sit on. So far, he shows almost zero interest in the other games, except the little house where he likes to go in and play pee-ka-boo with us.

Previously the game was placed at Tesco, but now moved to QBY mall. So Jojo gets to play less since it is now located so far from our house.

X'MAS 2008

An hour on the beach

This was the small beach next to the Jetty to Pulau Keracut (near QBY mall). It was kinda hot in the morning and not much shade to hide from the sun. Well, we came here for the convenient choice as it near to where we are going for lunch later....

Nevertheless, Jojo still have a great time on the beach. Playing ball with daddy, sand digging, chasing bubbles around etc...so much fun !

Too bad it was so hot and we all had to hide under the tree after awhile...so all and all, we got to spend almost an hour there!

Bye to pacifier.....

Today is the 5th day Jojo saying goodbye to his 'chu chu' (pacifier)....hoooooraayyy!!!

How this happens?
Last monday night, we waited for Jojo to ask for his chu chu....and we already got one old pacifier ready to be "sacrified" upon his request :P
What we did was to 'dip' his pacifier into a sambal bowl, and then handed it over to him. So when he saw the dirty pacifier, he just said YUCKKKK!! and turn away, even calling out "mai mai' in hokien which mean NO! LOL! pretty cute :)
However, my initial thought was this would not last long, as he will ask for his chu chu again the next day and probably smart enough to ask for another new one.
But to our surprise, even now giving him the clean pacifier, Jojo also says yuck....

Hope this continues and he wouldn't ask for it again! :D

Birthday celebration at Church

We brought you to Ah Ma & Ah Kong Church one of the Sunday, and its happened that the Sunday school was setting up a small Birthday celebration for August babies....lucky you! get to celebrate twice in a year :D
