Sick Season

Little Tristan was sick last week. He had a bad cough and running nose. We brought him to his PD on Tuesday and he was given 2 days MC. Poor boy! Missed childcare on Wednesday and Thursday but back on Friday. I can see that he missed his childcare and very much wanted to go school. Haha...so interesting! Initially he refused to attend childcare, now he actually misses it.

After he slowly recovered, me and dear's turn to fall sick. Dear self medicated and seems to be alright now. I went to see doc yesterday and was given 2 days of MC. Rested whole of today and I'm much better now, close to 80%-90% recovered. Now just slight sore throat.

Hope that we all recover soon! We want our health back! :)

23 months

Yes! Little Tristan is 23 months old. He is going to celebrate his 2 years old birthday next month. Time really flies...I can't help saying this. My Baby Tristan has become Little Tristan, he has grown so much.

He is so special and so amazing! Feel so bless to have him...Daddy and Mummy love you so much! BE a happy and healthy baby!

Little Tristan's birthday wish: **papa train train**
~~Dear, you are going to buy him his train train right? *wink*~~

Childcare Updates

I did not update after the first day he went childcare because after the 2nd day, he was down with high fever. =( We brought him to see a PD and he was given 3 days MC. So his first week in childcare was cut short to only 2 days.

The 2nd week was quite terrible. He cried almost everyday when we sent him to childcare. By 3rd week, he cried less. This week is his 4th week and according to teacher, he is doing well. I'm so proud of him! Recently, I also realised that he started keeping his toys after playing with them. Teacher also commented that he listens to the instruction of keeping toys when told to do.

Overall, he is doing well in childcare and I'm glad that he is adapting well. I just hope he can be more sociable as time goes by.

names

for nearly 2 years, we have always wanted to name our second son ASHTON. and even thru shits that we went thru, we never gave up. there was once a tot that flashed across my mind, the shit that we went thru, is it becos ashton wasnt a name that is auspicious enough ? even tho i know deep down this is juz an excuse to push the blame, a scapegoat for all the mishaps juz to make me feel better. but i juz cant help feeling so. i have tried thinking of other names but whenever i compared it to the name ASHTON, i juz feel that ashton is so much .... closer. maybe its becos of all the shit that we have gone thru, that makes it even more precious, maybe .......

we still have lotsa time to think it thru tho .... heh

in times like these

everytime i go on business trips, i always experience this wierd feeling. the feeling of knowing that you are missing someone(s) back home and that someone(s) is missing you too. its a very complex feeling. its good cos you feel wanted and that the feeling is mutual. its bad at the same time cos you know that they are so far away even when you can almost imagine they are juz right before your very eyes, running ard and/or nagging at you .. LOL ... but its this feeling that keep you rooted, constantly reminding you of your responsibilities and that watever shit that you are going thru is all worth it, juz to see one more smiles on their faces everyday and to provide them an even slightly better life than today.

Moments like these ...

there are times in life when we encounter certain moments that are simply unfathomable. as with LTT : the moment he first came to this world, the first time he look me in the eye and called me "papa", his first baby step on his own and ....... today, his first day of school!

its the first time i can experience how my mum felt when she accompanied me to my first day in school. i was even more excited than him when we were there. standing by the classroom's window looking at him, cheering and encouraging him, assuring him that everything is ok, marking every potential bully, scheming on how i will reciprocate whatever foul plays the kid will do to LTT back to his/her parents ...

there were a few occasions when i saw this b*****d walked up to LTT and push him + hit him on his head (I dunno about LTT, but i HATE anyone who hits my head) and thoughts of revenge start brewing in my mind. thinking on how i would love to tie that b*****d to the legs of a table, pour honey all over him and put him under an ants-infested tree. muahahhahahahahha
think i should go undercover and get a "cleaning" job at the child care center to take care of pests that may grow up and threatens the safety of the society.

anyway ...... parents, do try to accompany ur kid to their first day in school, childcare or whatever classes, its a kind of experience that you will regret if you were to ever miss it.

LTT's first day of school ? == I'M LOVING IT ==

First Day of Chilcare

Today is the first day of childcare for Little Tristan at Agape Little Uni. So how did he fair?

–Failed–

We woke up a little late and sent him there around 9.10 am. The children there were already singing National Anthem as assembly started at 9 am. I went in with him and stayed there for about 1 hour. During that hour, he tried to walk around to familiarize himself and played with the toys there.

(Don't you think he looks cute in his green uniform? I find him so adorable! =) By the way, green is his favourite colour!)

After seeing that he is slowly adapting to the environment, I spoke to him that I had to leave for a while. I left him there with his teacher and went off for breakfast at a nearby coffeeshop with dear.

We went to peek at Little Tristan around 11.15 am and the teacher told us that he was looking for me after I left and he had been crying since then. My poor boy! So dear had to go into the classroom to comfort and assure him. He calmed down and had his lunch with his classmates around 11.30 am. He tried to self-feed upon seeing other children self-feeding. It was an amusing sight. I guess this is call peer pressure. Haha! Even though he still needed his teacher’s help most of the time, we felt that it was good progress for him already.

After his lunch, he took his bath with the help of teacher and me. He was quite cooperative during the bathing session; I believe it was because I was around. When we told him that he was leaving, he was very happy and said good-bye to everyone. Then we left the childcare centre.

Hopefully, tomorrow Little Tristan will adapt better and stay slightly longer at the childcare centre. My aim is to fetch him home after the afternoon nap which is around 3 pm. Keeping my fingers, toes and hair cross! Pray hard! Heh...
