Climbing up, Birthday Talk, Aloha Friday

This week has been a rather short week with two days of holidays midweek. Where has the time gone?

This week I actually planned to get more workout exercises done with my new Zumba Wii game but so far only got around to trying it out twice. I guess that I have to step up and be more discipline next week.

This morning I had a rather interesting conversation with Doggie Boy.

He was asking me what the date was and very subtly implicated that he should have a holiday next Monday.

Doggie Boy: ” Mummy’s what the date today?”

Me: ” Today’s the 12th of August?”

Doggie Boy: ” so ..tomorrow’s the 13th, then it’s the 14th then
the 15th right?”

Me:                “Yes.. you are correct”

Doggie Boy:  ” I have something very important to do on the 15th”
” I don’t need to go to school”

Me :          ” You do need to go to school. The 15th is a Monday and you
do have school.”

Doggie Boy:    ” No.. Monday I have something very important to do..
can’t go to school.. I need to celebrate your birthday”

Me:              “Aww..that’s a nice thought darling but u STILL
Have to go to school ”
( It’s nice that he is thinking of celebrating my birthday for me but it’s not an excuse for skipping school)

I’m wondering what cakes the boys will chose for me this birthday. They chose this assortment last year.

My Birthday Cakes for Last Year’s Birthday

Tiger Girl turns 11 months old today. In a month’s time she will be 1 yr old.  Today she reached another important milestone- climbing.  She is now able to climb up the sofa by herself. I need to start teaching her how to dismount from it properly or she’ll be having bruises on her forehead if she falls off the sofa.

My questions this week

How old was your child/children when they started climbing/walking? How do you prevent them from getting into scraps during this learning period?

Aloha T.G.I.F~ Renovation Completed

This week has been a busy week for us as we were renovating our hall. I didn’t manage to take any before shots but here’s a collage of her enjoying the extra space we have in the hall after tearing down the existing TV cabinet. Next week I’ll show the new TV cabinet which we have installed against one of the side walls. Now there is a big space in the hall for the kids to run about.

1. Do you have siblings and are you close with them?

I have an elder sister and I’m quite close with her.

2. Would you rather be slightly UNDER weight or slightly OVER weight?

I rather be slightly underweight then slightly overweight. As of now I am in the healthy weight range for my height but far from my ideal weight.

3. What’s your favorite State Fair food to splurge on?

We don’t have State Fairs here..but if I were going to a carnival I would say hotdog and chips.

4. What are your thoughts on your kid(s) going to school in a few weeks?

No thoughts as my kids are already in school as our school term here in Asia differs from those in USA.

5. Pool or Ocean?

Definitely the pool. I’m really weary about letting the kids swim in the ocean due to the strong tides and them being beginning swimmers. The pool is certainly easier to manage.

 

My questions this week

  1. Which  long lasting  Non IPHONE or Android Mobile Phone (with keypad)do your recommend?  * The phone should be able to withstand drops by the baby.
  2.  How often do you change your mobile phones?
