DYLAN's still not out!!

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!
