He STILL loves coin operated rides

First bag

He actually chose this over several other bags in Toys R' Us. The finalists were Bob the Builder and this one. After several minutes he finally decided to drop Bob. I guess the Tigger and the dog tipped the scale.

Tobey Today

This morning, I dressed him up in this lime green shirt to go to church. I suddenly remembered I bought this 7 months ago and hidden it somewhere, whilst trying to sleep last night. My heart skipped when I saw how smart he looked in it. I asked SK to snap several pics whilst I made him his breakfast. He happily posed for his daddy as usual. After the first worship song in church, he tapped my shoulder and asked for his favourite "Row Row Row your Boat" song. He has already started rowing with his arms. "No baby, this is not music class". He ate all his lunch and took his usual 2 hours nap without fuss. In the evening, we had a great time singing his nursery rhymes, accompanied by SK's xylo-piano playing and his dancing. He likes holding onto SK's index finger whilst he tap away at the piano keys.The boy must have thought that his daddy's ability came from him, because he held onto his own right index finger (with his left index finger and thumb) and tried to make music. "No sunshine, you have to read the notes". We tried reading the notes to him in colour, "Tap yellow, good...now red...." Now we know that chances are he was being cheeky when he handed me all blue lego blocks when I asked for the yellow ones.

You are growing up so fast my boy. I wish I could rewind and re-experience your childhood in the future :)

20 Months Old

Today at 20 months old, he's in a dancing mood. He said another word yesterday, "Juice"! Today he said "Dog" properly instead "Deg". He's getting there speech wise, slowly :) He's now busy enjoying the company of my parents around. He is giving them alot of laughter with his antics, and at times tires them up too of course.
He's into DIY now, we recently got him this
and also an additional Black and Decker drill set which has a jigsaw and sander attachments. Tobey can spend ages hammering and drilling away. When he's bored of the workbench, he would drill the dining chairs, table, his other toys...funny boy. When his daddy fixes something with a real tools, he would quickly join in (helping him) with his own set of tools, just like how he would join me with his vacuum cleaners when I vacuum.

When he's not playing in his toy room, he will be busy operating the DVD player. Now, he is strong enough to plug in the plug into the socket, press the ON switch, turn on the player, press eject, choose a disc n place it on the tray, push the tray in, press Play and wait. When he's bored with the disc, he would change it to another one of his choice. He can also turn on the CPU to the PC and then the monitor and start typing away or operate the mouse. When others ask me how's his progress, I find it hard to explain. So I rather just say that "he's ok la". So it's better to jot it down here.

We are totally in love with him.

More snow pics

We had a second round of snow shower last night, this time it's thicker than the one on Monday. Fortunately, not much wind, hence making it more bearable. We went out for tea and shopping. Pushing the stroller was a task. We ended up turning the stroller around and pulling it by its handles, like pulling a rickshaw :P

Hello mom!

This is how a big boy thread on snow..hehe

Whoops! I need wellington boots mom...

Tobey's first snowman

SK came home today and immediately set out to build his son his very own snowman in our back garden, as mummy couldn't bear the cold...brrr

Tobey and the girls

I had to post this up. A few weeks ago, we attended a friend's steamboat party. Tobey had a good time playing with Shean Wenn and Kaka. All three were a few weeks old difference in age. They were so cute together. My boy was the thorn amongst the roses...hahaha!

Spending time with grands

My parents are visiting for a few weeks. Tobey has been enjoying all the extra attention showered upon him. In fact he's downright milking it. His tantrums are extra dramatic and loud, knowing that he'll get more rescues by doing so. He entertains them by mimicking (e.g. he hold his hands together behind his back and walk slowly, just like my dad) their actions and his usual antics around the house. It's been great to see him bond with his maternal grandparents.

Below are several pics taken in the snow storm today. Tobey spent lots of time just staring at the drooping flakes at the window sill. Despite all, he remembered to look for his usual "wow-wow" (dog) in one of the houses opposite and birds on rooftops.
