Sleepy heads….

When it’s time to sleep at night, they will be tumbling every where, taking out never ending books to read, wrestle, climb behind and under the mattress.. everything but go to sleep.

When it is time to wake up in the morning, they will….

Sometimes it is so hard to wake them up. Not even with the curtains drawn away and hubb and I chatting away..LOUDLY.

Kids oh kids….

Songkran Party

When I find out that I am pregnant with Dylan, I was a bit worried as their age gap was only slight above 2. I was worried that I will not be able to handle 2 boys.

Now I am glad that their age gap is so close, as they really play very well with each other. Last weekend, we let them out of the house to play on the porch, while I prepared lunch.

It started with bubbles play, then some cooking play with water…and then it turned out to a full fledge water play!

And all these while, what is mommy & daddy doing?

Mommy = Cooking in the kitchen
Daddy = Watching tv at the living room while keeping an eye on them (of course)

I think that they are so lucky to have each other. No matter how much we love them as parents, we can’t play with them as “crazy” as a sibling can. And no cousins or friends can spend as much time with them as a sibling can too! And me and hubby are glad to have some extra time to ourselves since the boys have each other.

Can’t wait for them to grow up and watch how their bond continues to grow deeper. I think they are going to be a great brother and friend to each other!

Where’s my brother?

Yesterday, in the middle of the night, Bryan woke me up
Bryan: MOMMY! Didi is GONE! *I can see panic in his face*

Dylan is a very “mobile” sleeper lately, and he has wedged himself so close to me that I had to sleep sideways to give him more room. And Bryan could not see Dylan because Dylan was too close to me.

Me: Nah…Didi is here la…

Bryan: Oh * Goes back to sleep*

That’s how close both the brothers are. They will look for each other before they sleep and first thing when they wake up. Correction :- First thing when they wake up is MOMMY. Second thing is their gege or didi.

Funny stuffs

Funny things the boys said on the drive back home yesterday night.

Scene #1: Both boys were making a lot of noise at the back of the car.
Me: Aiyoooo…both of you are so noisy.
Daddy: Later the police come and catch both of you.
Bryan: If the police come, I will take the gun and PONG the police
Me: Do you have a gun? No gun, how to PONG the police.
Bryan: Mommy, can you buy plastic gun for me. And put batteries inside so that I can PONG the police

Scene #2: Carpenter’s Close to You starts playing on the stereo
Bryan: Hey, that is my concert song. *Starts singing*
Me & hubb: *Ignores Bryan and continue talking*
Dylan: Hey. QUIET! QUIET! QUIET!
Me: *Oops, din’t know Bryan got fansee and supporter already!*

My Little Picassos

The best part of having an elder brother is – you get to do whatever that he gets to do.

As usual, after breakfast, it is outdoor time before their morning bath. This time it is painting. The last time Bryan painted, Dylan was still confined to his Bumbo seat. But this time, you think he will quietly sit and watch his gerger have fun meh?

Even the last time he was already making noise wanting to join in.

Looks like Bryan is right handed & Dylan is left handed right? And not bad for Dylan’s first time attempt huh? Got design sommo..like some abstract painting.

But no, Dylan draws with his right hand too…still too early to tell.

The boys look so happy, enjoying their painting hor. But when it comes to kids, it is not always smiles one la…sure got cry oso one…

My porch was a complete mess by the time the kids finished playing. And Bryan smudge paint on my cream colored leather sofa on the way to the bathroom too. Luckily the paint comes off the sofa easily, otherwise sure kena from his dad.

The key element for the kids to have fun is that we parents must learn to keep one eye close. If everything also cannot, then no need to have fun liao.

Bryan got paint all over himself, face, hands, legs and needless to say his PJs. I do have a paint apron but since he is painting on the floor, I doubt the paint apron can provide good “protection”, esp on his pants, so no need la. It is more hot to wear an apron. Anyway, it is just water color and is washable. Just need to dab detergent on it and wash it immediately and it will come off. BUT I did not wash it immediately, but instead waited until the end of the day to wash with the rest of the laundry. So now his PJs got extra designs but who cares?? I know I don’t.

The Best Gift

Long time ago, I wanted 2 kids – a boy & a girl,
Min 3 years different, 5 even better, cause I am scared that I can’t manage.

Years later, I have 2 kids,
A boy and then another boy – and just 2 years 3 months apart

A year later, baby is now grown up,
Didi loves Gege,
Gege loves Didi.

Sleeping, eating, playing and bathing together,
Scold one and make one cry,
The other one will cry as well,
Missing each other when the other is not around,
Boy it is so much fun to have a brother.

I am so glad that I have 2 boys,
Even wished that their age gap is less now,
So that they can do even more things together.

I am so glad that I have 2 boys,
Cause the best gift that I have given my son,
Is the gift of a brother.

Copy cats

It works both ways!
Didi will imitate ge-ge.
Ge-ge will imitate didi

Bryan imitating Dylan crawling around

Boys will be boys. Cannot just play nicely one. Must tumble here & there, wrestling with the lil one.

I just can’t wait for Dy to grow up so that he can really play with his ge-ge. I am sure Bryan can’t wait too
