Baby Turns Six Today

Ryan’s Six Birthday Cake

6 years ago on this day Ryan entered our lives. He was 3.7kg at birth and about 53cm long. Fast forward to today he is now 20kg and about  125c m tall.

My little monkey has grown and matured a lot since birth. He still is a handful at times but can be extremely adorable and charming too.

Now at 6yrs old Ryan ins able to

- read the newspapers independently

- converse and give his own opinions on most matters.

- help to do the laundry and clean up the house.

- takes care of his younger brother and looks out for him.

-rollerblade and ride his bicycle independently.

This year he requested for a 3D Shinkansen for his birthday cake. It took me about 4 hours from baking to decorating the cake. I’m glad that Ryan and his classmates really enjoyed seeing and eating the fondant covered chocolate cake.

Happy 6th Birthday my little boy.

Weekend Reflections- Kids Talk

Counting has been Roy’s obsession lately. He is simply fascinated with numbers.  His favourite DVD is Richard Scarry’s 1-2-3 Counting VCD

Roy watches this VCD at least once a week. He is now able to read numbers up to hundreds and loves reading off the numbers off the parking lots in the multi-storey carpark near our house.
Recently Roy has even been asking me how to spell the numbers.
His favourite questions now is ” Mummy how to spell One?”, “How to spell —(Two/three etc)”

He is now able to spell up to three besides being able to spell his name and his brother’s name.

I’m glad that he shows interest in mathematics and counting.  I recall then when Ryan was around his age he too was interested in numbers.

When did your kids started showing interest in numbers?

Weekend Reflections- And Baby makes 5

my 3 kids

These few weeks I have been pouring through the boys old pictures and looking at how their facial features have changed since birth. They are still as cheeky as ever with their killer smile and eyes. I really wonder how baby R3 will look like when he/she arrives in September.  Will he/she look much different from his/her brothers?

What I do know is that Baby R3 will not be a small baby as both Ryan and Roy were about 3.7kg when they were born. Baby R3 will be out early as we will be scheduling a C-section as the boys too were delivered by C-section.

I have been busy looking through baby catalogues taking note of items which I would need to list down in the “have to purchase list”.

It has been 3 years since I have handled a newborn and most of the things that we got for Roy can’t be reused as they have yellowed with age or started to disintegrate. I hope to be able to get everything ready before September.
