Lighted up the lanterns

It is Mid-Autumn festival today so it is a tradition to bring the kids to play lanterns on this night.

It was 1st time for Jamie so it was quite a handful to look after him and same time made sure the lanterns are not burnt. Surprisingly none was burnt.

And we lighted up our very 1st family sky lantern to the sky this night. 

Just wish the sky would be clearer and the moon was visible but alas. The haze covered up the moon so it was quite blur in the sky.

That's it!! Kids were having some fun walking around holding the lanterns and seeing the sky lantern flew up. No school for them tomorrow so no one would be sleeping early tonight. *wink wink*

Back to the pool

Jan is back to swimming lesson after more than a 6-months absence. However I did not enrol her back to her old swimming class as I found a better alternative. Just right in my neighbourhood.

Now she could learn in our clubhouse swimming pool every Saturday evening. Very convenient although it is more expensive than the previous class.

She could float now so her new coach is taking her in. Jay still not master the floating so he could not join.

How exciting is Jan to learn swimming again.

The youngest is 2 years old

Look how my youngest has grown up! 

The little boss in the house, he has grown up to be one feisty and smart boy.

He enjoys noodle, fries and fruits. Now he still drink 180 ml milk plus a spoonful of cereal. 

Jamie always full of surprises and tantrums. Not a day we grow tired of him. He loves to disturb his siblings and follow what they do and say. He is a good impersonator and parrot! 

His famous words now are "What is this?" Very babbling boy. Not only a chatterbox, but his shriek could be annoying sometimes.

He can feed himself quite well. Most of the times, he would not want me to feed him; he wants to do himself. And he is never fond to strangers. Although he received lots of compliments, he hardly warm up easily to strangers. He never takes food or stuff from those unknown to him. Smart boy!

Lately he has been very bad boy. Maybe the "Terrible 2" kicked in faster than we expected. He loves to watch tv and at night, he must have the tv on till he dozes off. One night we disallowed him to watch as he tends to lie down and watch instead of sitting. So he threw a very terrible tantrum and drama. He cried for more than an hour. He does not listen to reason.

What ever it is, we think it is time to train and teach him well. He can be naughty and stubborn as he is the youngest. Whatever he wants, he gets it. So, wish me luck in that. Sure not going to be a smooth journey I reckon.

Not much of a celebration this year unlike last year where we celebrated by having Japanese buffet.

But we got a small cake for him. He got to blow the candles and cut the cake!! He did get a bit cranky at 1st because he thought he did not get to eat the cake. Lol. But happy ending in the end with digging into his cake.

A big Happy Birthday to Jamie!! We love you.
