Jaden tries out the ipad

Jaden tries out Yi Yi's ipad and he can spend a long time playing with it.

He didn't show much interest when we gave him puzzles to play with. However, somehow he likes to play puzzle games on the ipad.

Time to get the ipad for Jaden, Daddy?

Daddy and his girl

Hmm: Is Daddy trying to look cuter than Lynette?

Lynette is fascinated with our food.

Lynette flips!

Yes, my little girl has flipped (15 Aug) and I can proudly say that Mummy was the first witness to Lynette's flipping.

Hurray!

The horrible bug

If you read my previous post, you'll know that my two kiddos were sick during the June period and poor Lynette was even hospitalised. Well, what you didn't know was that Jaden got infected again soon after he recovered slightly. The incident took place in the 1st week of August and I only have time to blog about it now.

Jaden fell sick again in end July, with on-off fever, flu and cough. He had returned to school barely for a week and we noticed that his cough started again shortly before the weekend. His cough worsened and he developed a fever on Sunday (1 Aug). We were planning to take him to his usual PD on Monday and then we realised that he seemed to be having difficulties breathing. He was figeting, like trying to gasp for air and then he suddenly burst out crying! The crying was different from his usual cries. It sounded like he was really afraid.

So we went to KKH and upon examination at the triage (A process for sorting injured people into groups based on their need for or likely benefit from immediate medical treatment), the nurse immediately ushered us into the treatment room. Everything was happening so quickly. All I know that Jaden was crying and clinging on to me tightly and the doctors and nurses came in a swift, giving him the puffer to ease his wheezing. It was pretty dramatic. At first, I only saw a doctor and two nurses. Less than 3 minutes, I saw at least 2 doctors and several nurses, all crowding around us, trying to find out more about his condition and to make Jaden feel better.

Jaden's oxygen saturation level was at around 71 (Normal oxygen level should be above 95.) and the doctors said that he had to be hospitalised as his oxygen level is low. So, Jaden stayed 2 nights at the hospital. This time, I accompanied him in the hospital as Daddy will not be able to handle a sick and whiny Jaden.


Jaden needs to be on the oxygen mask to bring up his oxygen levels.

Trying to figure out how the machine works. (This machine monitors his heartbeat and oxygen levels.)

Enjoying his milk while watching his DVD.

A balloon to brighten up his day.

Feeling much better now.

He is ready to explore the ward now.

Thank god, he is fine now and is happy as ever :)

Pictures of Lynette

I will let the pictures do the talking :)

Jaden and our phones

Daddy has been resistant to Jaden playing with his new iphone. For a whole three weeks, he has taken efforts to keep the phone out of Jaden's sight and hands. But well, mummy has been the 'naughty' one and keep instigating Jaden to play with Daddy's phone instead of mine.

My phone has been at Jaden's mercy and he kept making calls from my phone, especially to friends whose names start with 'A'. (Sorry my 'A' friends.... it is not me making the calls but my boy :). I have put in several dummy names but somehow Jaden always managed to get the calls through.

So, coming back, other than encouraging Jaden to look for Daddy's phone, I'm also guilty of 'forcing' Daddy to let Jaden try out his phone. Why waste the apps in the phone, right?

Daddy finally succumbed to my nagging and allowed Jaden to play with his iphone. And, Jaden is hooked on it. He was a bit unsure and didn't really understand how the touch screen and the apps work. But after a week, he is all so familiar. He can unlock Daddy's phone and will navigate to his favourite apps.

Jaden really enjoys playing with the phone and will demand for our phones regularly. We are concerned that he may get too addicted and are limiting his usage. So, we have resorted to hiding both our phones in his presence. However, this plan isn't foolproof, and somehow, Jaden will find our phones eventually:(

Help, we need more hiding places!

Activity corner

I created an activity corner for Jaden in his room. The plan is to let Jaden do some drawing, writing or reading here (away from the distractions of the TV).

We haven't really tried doing arts and craft here but Jaden will take his crayons and pencils to do some doodling on his drawing block.
