It has been ages eversince I last updated the blog. Today, I shall update everything that I missed! Which includes some from the Singapore trip to recent ones! That's heaps! Hope you have fun reading!
Anyway, the kids are in childcare today, their 3rd time there. We enrolled them into ABC Tarneit South Childcare and they go there every Mondays and Wednesdays. That gives time to myself to do chores, update blogs and job hunting. It is so quiet at home today and I feel unusually peaceful. It is the 1st time I have home alone in this house. Such great feeling!! Hahaha!
- We are finally cleared from conjuctivities after suffering red and sore eyes for 2 weeks.
- Ex-colleague, Shelle arrived on friday the 13th. She's here for AIME, a convention. She stayed with us for her 1st 2 nights and we sent her to Winsor hotel yesterday to let her carry on with the purpose she's here for, her convention activities. We will have her back in our house from thursday (19th) till Sunday (22nd). It has been great having her, hearing all her stories of her life at work, at home, with friends. She leads a very interesting life. :) My Caleb simply adores her. Maybe because she pampered him by buying him snacks and lollies and even his favourite toy gun! That toy gun is very noisy, if it has a parent switch which you can turn it off, it will been a really good toy. But NO, it has 10 different sounds and lights and it is LOUD....gosh! Even Shelle regreted buying it for him. Still thinking if I should get it exchanged for another toy? Hmm....
- Caitlin has this bad habit of throwing things like toys into bins and even the toilet bowl! She picks things from the bin too! Yesterday she picked the toilet cleaner/freshener that is inside the toilet bowl and played with it! She smeared it all over the wall! OMG! I only found out much later when I went into the toilet and saw the walls! AAARRRRHHH! Before that, she even had some watermelon to eat. Little did we know, that she played with yucky toilet stuff before that, without washing her hands! Yucks! Now, we have to cover all toilet bowls and close those bins with lids.
- At 14 months, Caitlin starting to self feed herself with a spoon. She is more accurate eating with her fingers but with spoon, most of the time, nothing ever gets into her mouth. And she makes big mess all over her clothes (even after wearing 2 bibs!), her hair & face, the highchair and the floor. But she refuse to let us feed her. But it will work if we take another spoon to feed her while she carries on trying to feed herself. I guess practice makes perfect! And more cleaning to do from mummy and daddy!
- Caleb at 3 years 3 mths, is still being toilet trained. We only put him in his undies at home and if we are out for a short while, but we are not confident to let him wear that when we are out for the whole day, in case we can't find a toilet in time! At home, he always got to have someone to go to the loo with him. Althought there are a few times he could go on his own. To do pee, he is great at it now. But to do poo, he is terrible! He has so many accidents for past few days with poo, he simply refused to do his poo in the loo! There are times he will go the the loo for it but most of the time, he still does it in his undies! Even after reminding him again and again, he still does it in his undies! And that makes me so mad that I will smack him on his buttocks but he still repeat the same mistakes the next day and more smacks. Can someone give me any suggestions how to make him poo in the toilet than in his undies?
- We went to a toy library at Hoppers crossing on Saturday and we were surprised to find that they have heaps of toys there! We paid a $30 registration (concession) fee. With that, we can borrow 2 toys and 1 puzzles/educational game for a period of 2 weeks. That's superb! So that day, we borrowed a table for water play with little boats, whales, ducks for both kids and a fisher price dinosaur toy specially for Caitlin. I can't wait to go back there to borrow more toys! I think I'm more excited than the kids! Haha!
- We are meeting our building supervisor for our new house tomorrow morning. We should be able to know roughly when our house will be completed then. With Liangyen's house, she met up with her building supervisor last Friday and was told her house should be able to be completed in 6 weeks time. Since we started building around the same time, I presumed our house will also take about the same time. But compared to them, our cabinets (kitchen/ laundry/bathroom) are not installed yet. In fact for the past 1 week, no one actually came to work at all! Wonder what is the carpenter up to. Hmmm....the house was built pretty fast in the 1st few stages, especially before Christmas. Now that they are doing up indoor stuff, things start to slow down. We hope we can get the keys by end April so we can get the timber flooring and the driveway done and we can start to move in! Felix's parents, Victor, Karen and Baby Alexander and Edmund are coming in mid-June so we hope to get everything settled prior to that so they can stay comfortably by then. *fingers crossed* Oh yes, Felix's youngest bro, Edmund will be staying with us for the next few years as he is pursuing his degree in accounting. So he is the latest addition to our family! ;P A big addition! Haha~
