Mama's friends gathering

The festive season is always a good time to catch up with old friends and Mama's friends made a trip down to see her and of course Didi and me.

Playing with Claire

Presents!

Didi got a big play pen :)

'Two little monkeys jumping on the bed,
one fell down and broke his head,
mama called the doctor and the doctor said
no more monkeys jumping on the bed!'

Mama likes to sing this song with me and realising that our beds were not the best place for Didi to crawl and explore, Mama got Didi a big play pen that can fill both of us and still have room for lots of toys :)

We're so happy, thanks mama

Playtime Part II

Now Di Di is big enough to play in my bed too, hmm he seems to be eyeing my toys.. its ok, I am a nice Jie Jie and we would share all our toys as we grow up ok?

Playtime

My Didi is so cute right, he is also using a pacifier like me, but I am a big girl now and big girl don't use pacifiers anymore so Didi cannot use too haha

Happy Birthday to Me!

Daddy has been really busy over October and no photos and no posts but the house renovation is mainly completed and I have settled in my new house just in time for my birthday party! I am two years old today but when asked how old? I say 'Tuesday!' and everybody laughs..

There were balloons and goodie bags, a smiley face birthday cake (from ecreative) which I chose myself, and lots of presents for me! Thank you everybody!

I love fruits

I love eating all kinds of fruits and Papa says that's good! So apart from the 'common' apples and orangesPapa also exposes me to all sorts of other fruits, including some 'superfruits' which are supposed to have greater health benefits than other fruits. To Papa, 'superfruits' are just another marketing ploy to make people buy more such exotic fruits and at higher prices. Papa have never heard of any fruit being bad for anybody (except maybe durians and jackfruit, but that's a matter of taste) so, Papa believes in a varied diet of fruits and without saying one type of fruit is 'super' and another is 'not-so-super', it is good to know some fun facts about certain types of fruits and how fruits are good for you.

Mooncake Festival

Mooncake Festival for small children is not that exciting an affair, not eating too-sweet mooncakes, not fire accident-prone candle lanterns, no running in mosquito prone grassy patches.. so simple electronic lanterns and a homely dinner :)
