West Coast Park

First time playing with sand

Aiden turns 2!

Time flies!! Aiden has turned 2 on 26 April! Look at how he has grown!

Had a simple party at home with family. When asked what he wanted for his birthday, he said Birthday cake. And he was able to sing along with us for his birthday song. That was so cute!

And brought him out to SEA Aquarium at RWS on the actual day. Believe he had fun looking at the HUGE fish tanks and all the fishes!

Aiden on TV!

Okto's Birthday Surprise!

Good food with good friends

Our 3rd yummy high tea session together

Baking time!

Long time since I last baked or cooked anything.

Too young!

At 23 months, Aiden has learnt to change the DVD in the player on his own, simply by watching us do it all this while. And Hubby is encouraging it. Gosh!

Sweetness

When I was worrying about not being able to find a job soon....

Hubby: Don't worry, there is no hurry. You are not looking for a job. You are looking for a suitable job.

How can you not love such a sweet and supportive hubby? Love you bie :)

Anything for Barney

Aiden: Watch Barney!
Me: No, you have watched already this morning. Play with your toys.
Aiden: Want to watch Barney again.
Me: No, later when you eat porridge then can watch.
Aiden (looking at me very hopefully): Eat porridge now?

Right or left?

Me: Where is your right hand?
Aiden raises his right hand.

Me: Where is your left hand?
Aiden raises his left hand.

Me: Where is your right ear?
Aiden points to his right ear.

My Sis points to Aiden's left ear and asks him: What ear is this?
Aiden: The other ear

Line-up

Aiden lined up his long "train" of cars, trucks, fire engines and anything with wheels!

What is that? (Part 2)

Feeling quite challenged now, Aiden's questions are really testing my vocabulary and description skills!

And he has helped me notice things that I have not noticed before. It is kinda cool :)

What is that?

At 22 months plus, Aiden is in the "What is that" stage? Loving his curiosity for learning so far :)

Mad about cars

Part 1:
Yesterday morning, we could see Aiden was stirring and about to wake up. Suddenly he sat upright and said,"Mummy, 德士 Taxi!"

Part 2:
In the middle of the night, fast asleep, I heard him say in his sleep,"Fire engine."

Part 3:
Almost morning, he suddenly bolted upright and said,"Mummy and Daddy say switch off. So noisy!" and promptly went back to sleep.
(There is a toy train and truck that he likes to switch on and leave it running. We always ask him to please switch it off cos it's so noisy!)

Angry face

Haha

Got Aiden to say "Haha!" instead of "Cheese"

Bringing Aiden out on my own

Brought Aiden out all by myself today. Took a bus to and fro Vivo to meet Liz for lunch. Very proud of myself for successfully doing it. Of course, the good old iPad helped entertain him when we had our lunch.

My big boy

So proud of Aiden. Recently, we mentioned a few times that he is a big boy now and should not take pacifier anymore, especially when he turns 2 soon.

For the part few days this week, when we gave him the pacifier, he shook his head and gave it back to us and said,"Only taggie (his security blankey)."

So so proud of him!

Bargaining Part 2

Me: Time to go and change (into pajamas)
Aiden: Don't want!
Me: Have to go and change already
Aiden: 4 minutes
Me: ok after 4 minutes must go and change ok.

4 minutes later....
Me: Ok 4 minutes already
Aiden: 2 minutes
Me: No, just now you said 4 minutes
Aiden: 1 minute
Me: No
Aiden: 6 minutes

Take a pic with Gor Gor

And Aiden proceeded to put his hand on Gor Gor's shoulder... Must have seen us do it :)

The other way

When I put his giraffe back at the usual place...


















Aiden said,"Mummy, the other way!"

Whoops, I had to put it back the correct way before he was satisfied ...
