19th Dec Grand Pa's birthday

Dinner at Ghim Tim Ang Mo kio. We had to work so this is the first time Ryann is travelling with sister in law and father in law with out us. Was crossing our fingers that every thing would be fine. Thank God every thing was ok. he didn't cry and was happily seated on FIL's lap.

However we didn't know why the moment Ryann saw hubby in the restaurant, he started crying. Maybe he just realized that Pa pa not with him just now. haha.

Great gathering dinner. Grand pa's first birthday with out grand ma. I thank God for the strength grand pa had through out this year.

4th -- 6th Dec Naughty Ryann

Every night after we depart from mum's place, we will need to cross the road to our block. Ryann always run at the void deck looking out for his favorite Dolphin, fish and sea horse (Punggol flats always have a picture theme for each block).

While walking back home on the 4th Dec, Ryann was running as usual but this time round he wanted to cross the road himself. I shouted for him to stop. He paused for a while, turn back look at me and smile. I shouted if he takes one more step I am going to smack him. Although there wasn't any cars at that time but I can almost feel my heart stop beating for a moment. And my little Ryann trying to test my patience, smile at me and took one step down on the road.

I immediately carried him up and smack him on his leg. He cried and tears keep flowing down non-stop. Maybe I should say he sort of scream because I was really angry with him. But soon after, his cries stop almost immediately once he saw the sea horse. =(

Back home, I put him at the 'naughty corner' and started telling him not to cross the road without holding on to my hand. I explained to him that there are cars etc. Actually, I dunno if he really understands me but I thought there is a need to let him know the danger on the roads. But Ryann replied OK. And I gave him a hug after that.

2 days later, same scenario, but this time round, Ryann walked back to look for me, held on my hands and we cross the road together. Great job Ryann. Mummy is so proud of you.

3rd Dec Father in laws birthday

It’s been a super busy month and I have been feeling so guilty for not updating. While resting from the irritating cold I got from the rain ytd, I decided I must finish updating all the post I want to write.

We went to Kuishin Bo Japanese Restaurant for a nice buffet dinner with my father in law, sister in law and cousins. Great food I have to say and definitely worth the price.
Sister in law brought a Thomas toy train to keep Ryann entertained during the car ride to suntec.

Ryann gave the best birthday gift to his grandpa and that is to allow him to carry him all the way from the carpark to kuishin Bo at the 3rd level. I have never seen Ryann in his arms for so long. Usually after a while, he would start making noise asking for me. I can see the joy in my FIL's eyes. =D
I will let the pictures tell you the rest of the story.

So happy with the toy train.

Guess what he is trying to do?

Its Ryann's train washing services!

Handsome Ryann!


I love his smile on his face.

He was so excited to see the birthday cake and was

so eager to blow the candles too. Maybe he must be thinking that it's his birthday again.

Yummy!

Happy Birthday Father!

2th Dec Blue Sick Red sick

Some neighbours might have decided to bid goodbye to some of the old bamboo sticks (clothes) but didnt know how to discard them properly. They left 2 sticks in the lift. Ryann went into the lift and started uttering:"blue sick sick blue sick sick". I didnt know what it meant and thus i just assume he was just having his little baby talk session again.

This evening when our maid was hanging clothes in the kitchen and Ryann as usual started counting the number of clothes and pegs on the bamboo and suddenly he said:"red sick, red sick". Then only did i realize that he was trying to say red stick but he pronouce it as red sick.

We indeed had a great laugh for that.

25th Nov Updates on ryann's development

Its been a while since i update and i am still quite tied up with work so just a quick one.

Ryann's speech development has improved slightly. Recently, Hubby had been teaching him to express his wants to us by saying I want milk milk etc. So now he will say keep saying I want. In the morning one fine day, he woke up and told hubby, I want milk milk. And during class one day while playing with ball he said I want ball. Great job Ryann.

Ryann had been quite mischievous recently. There was one of the days when one of the little gal in his class complained to mum:"Auntie, ryann hit me here (pointing to her shoulder)" I have also noticed that when he doesnt get his way with the toys while playing with Rhys, he will just reach out his hand and push him. This resulted to my smacking of hands but he will behave himself for a while and soon he start again. During the recent GUG class, he once again tried to push one of the class mates and i really tried to put in at one corner of the room and discipline him for that. God please give me the wisdom to teach Ryann.

Today i was reading the ABC book with him. And with every letter he will name me one or two items starting with that letter. And he will recite the numbers with me as well. he can recite 1-20 but when it comes to 15 he will say five teen and 17, he will say sev teen( skipping the ven) We had lots of laughter. More to come for Ryann.
