Last Sat, we brought Shannon to see Hi-5 show at the expo. DH & Sky + Aunty Suzie's DH & Ian were enjoying the food festival at the expo while we were watching the show.
Shannon seems to enjoy it along with Ferlin, Shaine & Troy. Though her eyes are glue to the show, she does not dance along.

Her excitment came when the show ended and the Hi-5 ballons were on sale. She kp tugging me to buy the ballons. Imagine $10 for 1 ballon! But this indulgent mummy still gave in to the request :p Well, it's "worth" it, Sky still enjoy playing with it till today!

Last sat, Shannon joined the children church outing to Omni Theatre to watch the dinosaur movie. We brought along our nieces & nephew too.

I could see that Shannon was trying to look away when we were "sliding" towards the dinosaur. It was quite an experience for her & us since the last time we visited Omni Theatre was god noe when.

Shannon has upgraded from the "What" phase to the "Why" phase recently.. Every single thing, she will ask why.. Jus early this morning when daddy & mummy still dreaming away.. Shannon climb up the bed:

shannon: "daddy why do u hv moustache?"
daddy: "becos i'm a man"
shannon: "why are u a man?"
daddy: becos i'm a man"
shannon: "why are u a man?"

This conversation went for a while with Shannon kp asking her daddy why is he a man before she was distracted to go out.

There were saying that you will learn more during your child growing stage. I guess we are getting into it now. In yrs to come, we may hv to do research before answering our children :p

Shannon's school is arranging a trip to the Zoo on 30 May. It will be her first school trip (somemore with KFC for lunch)! Hope she will enjoy herself.

Sky turns 1 today!

Yesterday, we held a party for him but i'm pretty sure he's clueless of what's going on. Several Aunties & Uncles came with their well wishes.

Playing the Pinata.
The pinata had a slight glitch. Must tell Aunty Alice that she had secure it too tightly :p We had to tear open for the candies to come out. But I'm sure the children had enjoyed themselves very much.


Chaotic Room


Thomas the train Cake


Cutting cake cermony..with Shannon "ma jiam" the birthday gal.. she gamely sit right in front of the cake!

I have been wanting to get a pinata for Sky's 1yr b'day party and was scouting around. I spotted a "thomas train" design in toy'r us which cost $40. Of course, my "economical" hubby screamed when he knew i wanted to spend $40 over a few pcs of cardboard.

But so sweet of Aunty Alice, she made a Star Pinata for Sky. Hope the children will enjoy it tmr when the candies came "raining" down.

Letting my DH taking care of the kids can be v. challenging (for me!). Just las Sat, i was needed to be at work for a few hrs.

I casually SMS DH while at work: "How's the kids?"
Reply: "Shannon is drinking detergent"

Wat! I wasted no time in calling Jason to check out what happen. "U noe, Siti is busy with hsework so i dun hv enough hands to take care your 2 baobeis. Skyler is busying walking but to the wrong places.. (he always like to venture into toilet which i dun understand why. This particular area of the house whether it's in Ah Ma or our place always seems to fascinate him alot!!!!) Shannon is standing on the ikea stool meddling with the cap of the small baby bottle cleaner and inside there's a little bit of liquid. I ask her if she did drink it and she nodded her head" Rattling the reply

Till now, we are also not sure if Shannon did drink that liquid

Can't you do something more constructive than letting them hang around in the kitchen. Get Shannon to do some coloring, watch vcds, read story books or play her toys..There's so many things to do!

So my DH, if you are reading this, dun forget you had a track record. I hvn't forget you ever let Shannon ate dog food (although it's just one tiny dog biscuit) before!!
