My birthday party (Part 2)
On Sunday, 24th September, it was my grandparents' turn to celebrate my birthday. As I am the precious only grandson for both sets of grandparents, they are of cos happy to celebrate with me. Mummy and daddy invited mama, yeye, popo, gonggong and yiyi and uncle paul to our home for a home-cooked meal. My jiujiu was stuck in camp and couldn't come. But at least he bought me a present. Hehe...

My Birthday Party (Part 1)
Mummy and Daddy invited friends from the cell group to our house on Saturday, 23rd Sept for a pizza party to celebrate my second birthday. Most of the guests are adults but I had a few little friends like Reuben, Justyn and Wien Tze. We didn't really play together, just alongside one another. I was a good boy cos I shared my toys. The adults seemed to have had a good time. They partied late into the night. I couldn't last all the way and went to sleep at about 11pm. I only opened my presents the next day.
This is my birthday outfit. Thank you aunty pricilla.
Look at my cheekily handsome face.
I had a change of clothes for my cake cutting ceremony.

Palawan Beach
During the September holidays, mummy was busy marking but she still found the time to take me to Sentosa. We spent a wonderful morning playing on Palawan Beach. There is a nice fountain that shoots water at me at unexpected times, making me squeal and scream. I really wanted to play with the water but I was a bit scared too, so I hung on to mummy's hand the whole time. I also enjoyed playing with my sand toys. I'm not afraid of the sand and the sea anymore. Now I'll voluntarily go into the water and mummy and daddy must watch me carefully.
I wanna play...
...but I'm scared.
Daddy is forcing me to take a photo.

Did you notice my new swimsuit? Now I'm too old to be just running around in my swim diapers, even though I still prefer to be more 'naked' when I go to the swimming pool.

Showers
I'm now old enough not to bathe in the little baby tub. I can have a shower like the big guys. Check out my after-shower attire.
Hi everybody, I'm happy to be nice and clean.
Must keep towel on my head to keep it warm.
Opps! Censored!

I'm on STOMP
Mummy was inspired by Gabriel and sent my photos in to STOMP. I guess she is a little too enthusiastic and I ended up with not one but two pictures on the cover today. Check it out at http://www.stomp.com.sg/Here's a screen shot if you see this post too late as they change the featured smiles everyday:

Swollen eye
I woke up with a swollen left eye today. Mummy brought me to the doctor and it cost her $62!!! Popo is definitely gonna faint and exclaim, "Aiyoh! So expensive. Go polyclinic can already." This will also reinforce yiyi's idea that it is too expensive to have kids. Daddy just said that my eye is more important and mummy said this means that I will get 1 or 2 fewer toys. 
Poor me. Look at my eye.
Aiyah... shang nao jing!
Eh...daddy! Why you say I peep at girls?

Counting
Gerald can now count up to 10... occasionally up to 12. He tends to skip 5 though... it'll be 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. But the number of times he is skipping 5 is reducing. Today at GUG, he counted the worms that Teacher Herli put out for the tods to touch. Gerald actually said, "1, 2, 3. 3 worms!" I was quite surprised. He is already connecting numbers and words and unconciously picking up the grammar of English. He can form short little sentences like "Uncle running" or little phrases like "big truck" or "yellow taxi". The human brain is indeed amazing. We do not need to teach a young child language or grammar formally, it is naturally acquired through exposure. Isn't God's creation very good?
Now I think I need to expose Gerald to more Mandarin before he turns into a little banana. haha...

Family Photo
Daddy and Mummy brought me to Julia to take our yearly family photo. For some reasons, I became afraid of the flash in the studio and refused to co-operate. In the end, we took a photo with me crying!

Sleeping on my own
Mummy and daddy had enough of me trying to take over their entire bed. They recently bought me a mattress and made me sleep in my own room where I have lots of space to toss and turn in my sleep without physically harming anyone.
I will toss and turn in my sleep. This is how you'll find me in the morning, mummy has been driven out of bed and I'm sleeping with half my body on daddy.
Now I sleep on a mattress on the floor. Weekdays I'll sleep with Imah (my maid) cos mummy needs her beauty sleep for work the next day. Weekends I'll still sleep with daddy and mummy.
My parents think I know how to bully them. When I sleep with Imah, I'll sleep through the night. When I sleep with my parents, I'll wake up in the middle of the night and climb onto the bed. I'll then proceed to kick daddy out of bed and snuggle next to mummy before I fall asleep again. Hee hee, aren't I a clever boy?
