Our Princess will be turning 22 months tomorrow, 2 months shy from entering the "Terrible Twos!" Gosh, where did all the time go? Look how she has blossomed - from a helpless sleeping babe to an independent agile inquisitive little girl who punctuates her sentences with "What's this, Daddy?" or "What's this, Mummy?" We hope your quest for discovery and learning remains insatiable as you continue to blossom!We're celebrating her 22nd month by bringing her on a school excursion … [Read more...]
Revisiting Dana’s Birth to 1st Year – A Slideshow
This slideshow was originally put together and screened at Dana's 1st Birthday Party last year. We weren't able to post the slideshow on the blog earlier as the codes were not compatible. But Praise God, last night, Daddy and I found a way to convert the slideshow into video format and embedded it here. Hope you'll enjoy this special journey as we revisit Dana's Birth to 1st Year with us before she reaches her 2nd Birthday milestone. Enjoy the presentation! … [Read more...]

T is for Teething!
Last Sat on the day of our big move, Dana registered a higher than usual temperature. We were initially very worried as there was an outbreak of HMFD in her pre-school but it turned out that she was teething!For few days that ensued, our Princess kept complaining of pain in her mouth (esp near the right cheek area) so we presumed her molars were erupting. Some of these symptoms presented themselves - irritability, loss of appetite, gumming and sucking and sleepless … [Read more...]
Discipline without Anger
With our Princess slowly approaching the infamous "Terrible Twos" stage, she is starting to exhibit more willful behaviour. We as her parents are faced with the enviable task of having to "discipline" this charming little tot whom we love with all our being. On some occasions, we disciplined her out of anger at the spur of the moment; it's definitely not something that we are proud of. We humbly come before God to ask for His forgiveness and seek His … [Read more...]
19 months….
What does it mean to turn 19 months? A growth spurt which allows me to fit into my new pair of toddler shoes and jeans snugly; an emerging opinionated personality which can dictate to Mummy and Daddy what I like (and dislike) be it food, fashion or choice of TV programme; a healthy sense of curiosity which keeps me eager to try new things every moment everyday; a strong grasp of language which allows me to articulate my needs and interact socially with people around … [Read more...]
The Magic of Eric Carle
Of the many Eric Carle books in Dana's collection, this is one which we like very much. I had actually forgotten that I bought this title till Daddy fished it out from our bookshelves yesterday evening for Dana's bedtime story. It comes with an accompanying CD where the story is narrated. This was a bonus for us as Dana got to enjoy the story being read by a native English speaker (instead of Daddy and Mummy) for a change! The story is simple for toddlers to follow. It begins in the factory … [Read more...]
