Christmas & Seattle!

Christmas 2005 - quietly spent together.

Our mini trip to Seattle before the new year.

The Seattle sky-line....it's such a pretty city.

Kung-fu in Seattle.

Swimmers in Seattle.

My Belle's swimming costume is courtesy of Auntie Yee Min :)

In summary, Christmas and Fao's birthday were fun-filled occasions intimately spent with the immediate family. What a satisfying way to end the year. Now, the new year to embrace!

2006 WE'RE GOING TO TAKE YOU BY STORM!

The echo & the beastly Belle

The truthful echo:-

Mommy to Belle, "Eat your food else Daddy will scold!"
The echo, "Daddy is in office. Daddy won't know. Daddy won't scold."

Mommy to Belle, "I'm warning you. DO NOT throw the cup again or I'll remove the juice!"
The echo, "No warning, no warning. Throw the cup! More juice, more juice! Heeheeheehee!"

Mommy to Belle, "I WILL be angry. Stop that!"
The echo, "Noooo...Mommy won't be angry. Do it! Do it!"

And my Belle won't even smile for the camera anymore. Even my Man asks, "Why is her face like that in all the pictures, Mommy?" I'm beyond exasperation. The terrible twos has begun early for this one....and my Man is barely through it!

The duo out shopping at Aberdeen Centre.

The twang

My Man speaks the twang. It's "sponge-barb" (otherwise known as "sponge-bob" in English) and "tah-fee" ("toffee"). Why should it? but it does, annoy me.

"Hey Mommy! Sponge-barb's on T.V.! I lurvvvv Sponge-barb! Can I have my tah-fee Mommy whilst watching Sponge-barb? What's hap'ning?! What's hap'ning?! What's Sponge-barb doin'? Where's my tah-fee Mommy?" Argh. Stuffed the toffee into his mouth to ebb the painful chatter.

This must be the prelude to the infamous Canadian "eh". I shudder at this thought.

Fattie pic

A la Singlish:-

And as requested by Auntie Big-Panties. Just cuz she's been nice to my kiddos too....n'er kill them or anyting lidat even though my daw-tah smooched him sooo bad last time. Even bought my son a boob-boob-I-lub-you T.

See how Fattie's looking more lecherous from receipt of his first smooch alleddy!

;p

The day will come...soon?

I said, "You must be soo tired, you're yawning continuously!"

He replied, "Nooo, Mommy. I'm not tired. I'm just baring my teeth...."

Seconds after that, he dozed off in his dining chair and burst out laughing when I feigned surprise and woke him up with a, "Oh! Your teeth are all showing again!"

A strange rash appeared on one half of his face. In panic, I subjected him to the usual line of fire, "What happened?! What did you touch?! DID you scratch?! When did the itch start?!"

Annoyed that I wasn't getting any helpful response, I raised my voice a decibel with, "SO WHEN did the itch start?!"

Unperturbed with the firing, my Man calmly replied, "Ah. Thirteen years ago, Mommy...." Oh. Have I really been so negligent?

The day my Belle stumps me like that too, will be the day I survive this arduous mommying period. I will be so proud of myself then and will celebrate with a full body massage at the spa (I sooo need it!)

Ba! Poooo....Wintertime!

So every "Ba!" has it's unique meaning. It means "open", "do the incy wincy spider song", "carry me", "fire" and all those other important things I need to tell my "ma ma". Only ma ma can fathom what I need :) Ma ma also says she loves me to bits.

Until I discovered a whole new way to exasperate ma ma.
With a "smile" like dis!

I can tell each time I poo poo. In fact, I can tell ma ma each time BEFORE I do the dump. How hilarious coz that got me seated on the throne one morning... er...with no success of course! But what a trick to replay yay! Ever seen a woman run so quick to tune of "pooooo"? Watch me.

Merry Christmas already! My mommy says she sees Christmas in my face everyday.
Er....does that mean I look snowy white?

All I wanna do is kick some ass hurling snowballs at my l'il sis with my fave playmate -Daddy hee hee hee....check out the restrain only coz Mommy's watching.

Gotta be sweet when posing with Mommy....else.....

My Man's birthday

It snowed on my Man's 3rd birthday! Guess what present pleased him best?
As requested, we visited Isaac for a morning of free-play. Above is Justin (with the red bib), Isaac's baby brother and below is Isaac and my Man er "sparring"?
It's 2nd Dec today and it snowed yet again! The troopers were at it again...mucking around all morning long till more digits froze up and the inevitable tears began... But all I care about is the laundry load this evening.. ugh......
