Another milestone
Gerald kind of crossed another milestone today, a day after he turned 3. He now understands to concept of punishment. When he misbehaved in the afternoon, I scolded him and told him to go stand in his naughty corner. To my surprise, he went to the corner quietly, without protest and stood there looking sad. Don't know if he is sorry for his naughtiness but he definitely knows he was being punished and he didn't dare cry though there were tears in his eyes. Can't resist taking pictures though I'm pretty sure that wasn't supposed to happen when one is disciplining a child.

Thinking about the errors of his ways.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Gerald!
Today is Gerald's 3rd birthday. He has officially crossed his terrible twos into his terrific threes. Unfortunately the poor dear is sick today and I had to take leave to bring him to the doctor. we were at the clinic from 9am till 12noon as the doctor came late and priority was given to babies who had appointments for immunisation.
Anyways, we brought Gerald out to Swenson's in the evening to "celebrate" his birthday but I think he is not very aware of this special day yet. He was allowed to eat only 1 french fry. He wasn't very interested in the food though.
Then we bought a small piece of cake and went home to sing his birthday song. He was excited about blowing off the candle. He was then treated to a packet of Ribena (his fav drink) after that and we ate up his cake as he wasn't interested in it.

Lantern Festival @ Chinese Gardens
Brought Gerald to the Chinese Garden today to look at lanterns. He seems to be able to appreciate such things better now though his attention span is still a bit short.

This is Gareth.

Playing with lantern.
In a bouncy castle.Think Gerald generally enjoyed himself though he got a bit tired at the end as the garden was sprawling and he had to walk a lot to see all the lanterns.

Wedding dinner
Daddy and mummy decided to take me to Auntie Hai Nee's wedding dinner. I haven't been to any since one a long time ago when I couldn't sit still and my parents ended up not eating much of their dinner. That was more than a year ago and mummy persuaded daddy to try again.
All dressed up for my night out.

More advanced swimming
For the longest time, my swimming sessions consist of me walking around the shallow children's pool. I hated any floatation devices that mummy and daddy bought for me. (Mummy: We have bought all sort of models - the lifevest, the arm bands, the seated float, etc.)Last week when mummy and daddy brought me swimming, they suddenly felt that I should try floating on my own. So daddy just went to the small store selling snacks and bought me a ring float. They took me over to the teaching pool and threw me in with the float. To their surprise, I didn't protest. Actually, I was hanging on for dear life as the water was a 1m deep. After a while, I got the hang of kicking and now I can move a little in the water with my float!
Help! I've been thrown into the pool!
Concentrating on staying afloat at 1.00m.
I'm getting the hang of it. Even duckie is getting a ride from me.
Now I can swimm with my daddy!
