it's been awhile since the last update of events in our lil rascal's life! today is the 8th of june and ryan's lil brother, DYLAN (we have decided on this, or rather mommy has decided) is still kinda comfy in mommy's tummy! edd's on the 14th but since ryan was a week earlier, we were kinda on standby the whole of last week and every passing day is weary! hahaha...at least mommy gets to eat and drink watever she wants prior to delivery and of course the dreadful confinement period, hehehhe. we have been trying to orientate ryan to dylan's arrival and he has since gotten used to the idea! whenever we go out, we will say "shall we get this for dylan?" and ryan would say "ok, i buy for dylan"...so heartwarming at the very mention...sigh!
i have to bring this up. we thoroughly enjoy our conversations with ryan these days. i m totally blown away by his vocab and choice of words for different occasions. he is able to relate and ask questions that will make us go, wow! eg. "daddy, thought we going into the tunnel?" when we passed by the cte tunnel after cairnhill and did not go into it as we made a left turn into newton instead. this boy's 3? hahahah...ok enuf of self praise but i m truly proud of him and all that we have tried to inculcate in him, esp the good manners stuff. when i usher and help him to get up our suv, he will say "thank you" and that always brings a smile to my face... whenever he wants something, he will initiate "mommy/daddy, can i some of that pls?" or "can i have water pls?" how else to refuse?
at times, he will also fault us for things we did not do or asked him to do. eg. he will say "told you to let me wear my crocs!..aiyah!" hahahahha and whenever mommy sits infront instead of at the back with him, he will say "told you not to sit in front". he can be pretty naggy at times and we always enjoy those moments upon seeing his annoyed expressions.
i brought ryan for his first golf lesson last sat and he enjoyed it even before we left the house! he was busy swinging his driver at home at our every attempt to tell him not to. when we got to the range at jurong country club, he was all excited and couldnt wait to get out of the car. i was amazed that he was able to address himself well, hit the ball and even ending off with a nice stance even without me showing him prior. took a few video and shots of this remarkable milestone! hahahhaha he's a natural just like his daddy! hahahahah...alrite alrite...
to date, ryan's has acclimatised himself to his pre-nursery school at pandan calvary. all i need to do is drop him off at the gate and he will say "bye daddy! see you later!" and he will walk towards his class looking for his fave teacher mdm christian. it's such an accomplishment for us! now we dread having to intro him to his new school next year at maris stella kindergarten. fingers crossed!
oh oh, very impt milestone!! ryan's 80% potty trained!!!!! woohoo!!!! it seems everytime i'm away for more than 2 weeks, mommy is able to wean him off his pacificer last year while i was in geneva/france and this time he's potty trained (except during naps, dodo and at night, he still wears his diaper)!he will always say "wee wee!!" and the closest person will whisk him off to the toilet! hehehehe but sometimes it can get pretty annoying when he needs to go every now and then and esp at restaurants. when we got back to the table, he will say "wee wee!" with a cheeky smile and it's always not urgent but he had to go anyway and will try to "squeeze" his wee wee out! pardon the impatience at times but if you experience it first hand, you can easily relate! i m truly proud of his achievements to date and i tell him everyday how much i lurve him! we will always hug tightly, kisses after kisses and say "i luf u, i luf u, i luf u!"
ok, to the next update which will be Dylan's birth story...signing out for now!

2009 update thus far...
it was off to a good start thus far and mummy recently went for the detailed scan at TMC and confirmed that ryan's gona have a baby BROTHER!! this time round, mummy was kinda disappointed since she has been hoping for a daughter. we kinda knew the gender when we saw lc cheng last month for the 4th month visit and baby's gender identification was in full view as he was in a frontal view on his side but mommy was still in hope till the detailed scan! hahaha... so choice of name was Dylan (to date) though daddy likes Brandan.
ryan has started pre-school at calvary pandan kindergarte which is just 1 min drive from our place. class starts from 830am to 1130am and we always barely make it in time cos of the constant dragging of feet and diversion antics of our lil rascal. first thing he says when we wakes will be "i dun wana go school daddy!" or "today go school?" and if the reply is "yes" he will scream "no dun wana go school daddy!" and off he goes to roll on the bed a lil longer saying "i'm so tired! let me sleep plss!" while at school, he's adapting well and following the daily programme. we bought 3 sets of uniforms for him and mama margaret bought a pair of white shoes from bata. i was at a loss at wat to do on the first day of school and mommy took leave to witness the milestone. tehteh dominic and mama margaret had to pick mommy as mommy was supposed to stay at home and daddy to send ryan to school and head for the office thereafter. while at school, daddy videoed the entire scene of ryan getting out of the car and walking up the steps carrying his turtle backpack. he was alrite till i told him i had to leave for the office and thats when he started to be clingy and i was at a total loss! to make matters worse, teh teh dominic came in and told ryan it's ok and mama margaret is waiting outside!! OMG!! ryan's not supposed to know that!! mama and mommy had to hide when we ryan turned round to look. hahaha... tehteh dominic as usual took some pics and then went out. i stayed with ryan for a lil while longer and then i told him i will be back to get him. his fav teacher mdm christian sure knew how to distract first-day goers like ryan and soon ryan waved goodbye to me while i hurried off. i joined mommy who was waiting outside and we went to peeped into his class and ryan was seen mingling with his classmates and appeared fine. mommy went off with tehteh and mama while i headed off to the office. when i returned with mommy to pick ryan at 1115, we went to peek at ryan once again and saw that he was playing by himself with one of those fishing toys while the rest of the class was listening to the teacher's story telling. hahaha.... when he got out of class and walking to the gate, we waved and smiled at him and he waved back as he approached us. i picked him up and gave him a big hug of assurance and we walked to the car. he said" i wana say bye to my frens!" hahaha...he did just that while we drove off to mama's.
ryan wore his white shoes for the next few days and seeing that other kids do not adhere to the "regulation", ryan wore his blue and green puma shoes alternating daily between the two. he wore his crocs twice to school and was scolded by mama. hahaha... each day, i will put on his socks for him and by dismissal, his socks will be in a ziploc in his bag! hahaha... he prob couldnt stand the stuffiness! each day i would ask him wat he had for bfast in school and sometimes he would try to trick me with "noodles again" (one of his fave). we are actually amazed with his level of adaptability as he was able to adapt well in school after i leave and even his teachers were shocked that i was not intending to stay with him throughout for the first few days at least. hahaha... i wanted to try leaving him to adapt and he was up to it! hahaha... i was sooo proud of my lil rascal. at dismissal, he will always say"i cannot find daddy!" hahaha....but i always tell him that daddy wiill go to the office and always be the first person he sees whenver he got out of class and that has been true to date! to see him looking out for me and waving back is such a heart-warming experience!
ryan's fave color has been red for the longest time and all his coloring assignments have red as the majority color and the occasional blue and green (prob inputs from his teachers). his fave teacher is mdm christian (a plump chinese teacher who is ever so passionate with kids) and mrs tay comes a close second and each morning i m rest asssured with leaving ryan with either of them as they are always capable of distracting him with something (milo, help with bringing paint bottles for paint class, see the lion dance drawings on the notice board and such) one of ryan's fave is watching the lion dance performances whenevr one comes by to the temple downstairs and he will always make someone carry him to the window to witness the sight and he will go "cheng cheng cheng" with his hands on his head simulating. tehteh dominc bought him one of those scaled down version from chinatown and he went "i scared!" hahahaha...wat a waste of money! and to think he would enjoy it so much going "cheng cheng" around the house! hahaha... only recently he overcame the fear and goes around now "cheng cheng" much to out amusement! mommy recorded the episodes on her mobile and he would always pick up her mobile and say " i wana watch cheng!" and the video would loop endlessly till he was distracted by something else! hahaha....
something to add, unc eugene and daddy bought a RC (remote controlled) car each for $399 for a ready-to-run set and it comes with nitro fuel! one of our childhood aspirations, we were exhilarated at the purchase and the cars were zooming around the carpark at cashew heights! wat an experience with the loud engine and exhaust sounds!
