A brother & sister moment

Jaden: This is how you do it.

Lynette: Really?

Mission possible, I hope.

I have an important task to do this week. But I'm not going to share it here :P Those who know will know about it without me saying much. Although my efforts may seem minuscule and probably a long stretch, I hope that it will at least set people thinking and ideally, evolve into something positive.

This is for you, pal:)

Haze, haze, go away

Singapore is experiencing haze once again. There is haze every now and then, but it is never that bad. We can smell the faint burning odour when we step outdoors. And, the PSI hit 108 today - the unhealthy range!

Well, I'm concerned about the PSI reading and I have just bookmarked NEA homepage. As you know, my two kiddos have sensitive nose and their noses and throats will act up whenever there is strong smoke in the air. The 7th month is when we are most paranoid cos' we are just worried that every cough or sneeze will escalate into something worse.

Now, the haze is back and it is making me worried. First, the haze is much thicker. Second, we are not sure when it will end. Third, I can't keep my kids indoors all the time. (They will get too edgy or perhaps, i should say I will get too frenzy trying to keep them occupied.)

Already, Lynette was not sleeping well last night and she only slept more deeply after taking the ventolin. I'm crossing my fingers that I don't hear any cough or see any signs of runny nose from my two babies.

Canned pig trotters, anyone?

Mummy had a good lunch and chat today, catching up with good old friends, Denise and Mingzhu. Auntie Denise had came back from Australia for a short break. It was nice to have girls talk without the interference from hubbies and babies. Unfortunately, we forgot to take pictures. But not to worry, we will have another get-together next weekend, this time with the hubbies and babies in tow.

You may be wondering what's with the title of this blogpost... Ha ha cos' somehow, the issue of where to get canned pig trotters received significant airtime in our conversations. Denise has been tasked with buying 50 cans of pig trotters for his brother's wedding and she has been scouting several stores looking for the best deal. For some reasons, the Narcissus pig trotters are really elusive.

I find this aspect of our conversation really entertaining. It was really fun discussing where to get them and then scratching our heads over why the Narcissus brand is preferred over the Gulong Brand. Well, to some, it may seem like a 'bo liao' topic, but hey, that's what buddies are - we can talk about anything under the sun :) It's great to have great buddies with you.

Good luck with the canned pig trotters!

Yummy!

Lynette has started on cereal recently. While she has not officially reached the 6 month mark, she seemed ready for it as she would look with us with longing eyes whenever she saw us eating. And, we just love to eat in front of her... ha ha..

So, we started her on rice cereal. Well, the first try was a bit of a disaster. She didn't know how to eat from a spoon and soon she was crying her lungs out. As the saying goes, practice makes prefect, after a couple of feedings, she got the hang of it and now, she looks forward to meal times.

It's lunch time!

Yummy!

Can I have more?

Slurp!

Frankly speaking, I was feeling a bit 'rusty' when feeding Lynette. It has been a while since I fed cereal to a 5-month-old baby and was reminding myself to keep to small mouthfuls when feeding. Guess, I need to start practising again :P

Smiley :)

It's has been a while since I posted pictures of Lynette. She is a very smiley baby. Just call her name and she will flash you her toothless grin :)

Bottles

I find it amazing that we only have two kids in the house but we have at least 7 milk bottles at any one time...
