All About Bryan and Dylan

Seeing your children laugh and smile…

Wish all the children in the world good health & happiness always!

I am sorry that I yelled at you when you spilled the milk powder on the table when you were scooping the milk into your cup. I was the one who agreed that you can make your own milk but I forgot tat you are not even 3 years old yet.

I am sorry that I was rough at you when you were a little too rough with Dylan. I forgot that you are still a small child and do not have the maturity to fully judge what is right or wrong.

I am sorry that I told you to wait until I finished nursing Dylan when you woke up in the middle of the night 2 nights ago asking me to switch off the aircon because you are feeling cold. But I forgot and dozed off while nursing Dylan and found you sleeping curled up the next morning.

I am sorry that I could not spend as much time as you want to help you with drawing, coloring or building blocks.

I am sorry to expect you to behave like a perfect child. You are not, and never will be as I am not a perfect mother too.

I am sorry that I am not always able to pat you to sleep though I know you love to have me do that. I need to get Dylan to sleep first before I can tend to you.

I am sorry to force you to grow up, be a big brother without even considering if you are ready for the role yet.

I am sorry for the many things that I have forgotten to say sorry to you.

I am sorry, but remember tat MOMMY LOVES YOU no matter what.

• Weight => unknown. No visits to PD this month.
• Eating solids much better now. We are taking things slow when it comes to introducing new food to Dylan compared to Bryan last time. I guess we are less “excited” or perhaps I just have much less time to prepare a variety of food. So far we have tried rice cereals, rice porridge, pumpkin, sweet potatoes and bananas. Rice cereals is his least favorite. I am not surprised. Who would prefer boxed processed food over wholesome natural food?
• Asks for food if we eat without feeding him as well. Wants to be part of the eating action all the time.
• Sits unsupported for much longer period of time.
• Able to stand for 5 seconds or so by holding on to something.
• Crawling on four. Slowly moving from commando crawl style to doggy crawl style. (body slightly above floor).
• Getting very chatty. Different sounds for different moods or depending on what he wants.

Nothing special. Since I have so many candles leftover from the mooncake festival, I thought i will buy Bryan some cake to make him happy. Let him play pretend that it is his birthday.

The cake just cost RM2, but the pleasure of seeing him enjoying the cake……PRICELESS!

Can stick on the left eye

Stick on both eyes, like eye mask

Make mummy laugh with the silly poses

But it is no fun to play with stickers alone. So…

Dylan, you must join the fun as well!

We normally go to MIL for dinner on Saturdays. But last Saturday, we changed it into lunch so that the kids can stay at home to play with lanterns. There are a lot of kids around Bryan’s age staying near our house. So it will be very lau-juak (merry) if all the kids come out to play.

Unfortunately, it rained. So there were no kids playing outside. But we still let Bryan played at the porch.

We had bought a pack of Disney paper lanterns for him. Actually I wanted to buy the regular traditional lanterns nia..but Bryan spotted this pack and insisted that we buy this instead.

Guess, which lantern design he spotted, and which one is his favorite? Look carefully…

You’re right, the Disney Princess lantern. Actually he was attracted by Snow White, one of his fav Disney character.

Ok la. To be fair, he also played with the Mickey Mouse lantern.

This is actually the first year that we let Bryan play with the candle type lanterns. Both hubb and I have always preferred these to the electronic ones. We purposely select the bigger ones so that there are less chances of it catching fire.

Yup, so even though Bryan was swinging his lanterns around, it did not catch fire.

Dylan, meanwhile is too young to play with candles and lanterns. But we hang a few lantern around our porch and he was contented to see the lit up lanterns swaying about in the wind. His big kor-kor also help to entertain him from time to time.

The weather was better on Sunday night – which is the official Mid-Autumn festival night. And my neighbor’s kids come out to play that night.

Dylan, being the youngest kid on the block was an instant hit with my neighbor’s kids. In fact, I think all of them knew my kiddo’s names, while I am still struggling to remember theirs. *shame on me*

The lantern celebration at my old apartment have always been merry with lots of kids playing at the garden. I am glad to see that the lantern celebration at my new house is equally as merry.

We took the boys for a walk around the neighborhood. The weather was cool and comfy, so comfy for Dylan that he dozes off not long after we walked around.

I was unpacking some items from a box and this little KPC wanna join in the fun as well.

I had placed him quite far away from the box but the moment he sees the box, he started crawling towards me.

He did have a good 10 mins or so exploring the box. Turning the box around… Touching here, feeling there.

Dylan, so nice to play meh?

It used to be so easy to feed Bryan when he was small but now he is such a picky eater.

Give him what he wants, and he can wallop almost as much as I can eat in a regular meal.

Last Sunday, hubb took Bryan for a haircut. He loves haircut because it will be followed with a meal at McD afterwards. So he is always looking forward to haircuts.

Anyway, as usual hubb ordered the fillet’O fish value meal and exchanged the drink to a milo. Hubb just a burger for himself thinking that he will share the drink & fries with Bryan. But no…

Bryan first walloped the entire pack of fries (almost)….
Then the fish burger…
And finishes off with the cup of iced milo…

If he already can eat a McD value meal almost all by himself before he reaches 3! How many burgers do we need to feed him when he is 6?
