Jenson @ 1 1/2 yrs

19 Months to be exact!

Time really flies so much faster when you have 2 kids... One moment no. 2 was just a newborn, being cradled & nursed in my arms and the next, he's such an agile toddler, wriggling from your arms as you try to cuddle & kiss him.

My little boy did not have a chance to attend classes like his older sister but yet, I do not seem to see him lagging behind in areas. In fact, I do think his motor skills are naturally way better than Jill's! (On hindsight, all those baby enrichment classes may all be nothing but fanfare afterall! - just my 2cents)

Last weekend, My GYM had an open house. And I thought it would be a great opportunity to bring Jenson there for an hour of free trial. True enough he had a whale of a time, running around the carpeted area, climbing up and down. He enjoyed music & movement circle time, clapping his hands to the music beats, he was intrigued by puppet story telling time and he loved the toys that were poured out onto the floor for him to explore.

Still deliberating if we should sign him for this.....

Long Easter Weekend

Dw got baptised over the weekend. It's been sometime since I felt so much emotions and this certainly was a very meaningful weekend for us as a family.

His baptism mass was a long one, it being held on Holy Saturday's Easter Vigil but Jill had a great experience with the church being in total darkness and having lighted candles around. It started at 8pm and with the fellowship and all, by the time we reached home it was close to midnight! Needless to say Jenson missed his usual bedtime of 9pm and was kinda grouchy. Yet overall I must say I'm pleased that he was still manageable and was totally cool being out so late.

It was a busy weekend, where we started off with Goldilocks play on Friday afternoon and we finished Sunday with a whole morning / afternoon playing at the airport. And of course we had lotsa fun in the pool too!

Jill - trying out ice skating for the 1st time - fail ! :( Nevertheless it was a good experience! :)


Finally, decorating an easter egg at I12...


I'm looking forward to the next weekend, it feels so good having my days packed to the brim with so many activities!
