Update on 6 May 2009

I am putting down some of my thoughts on my blog. Friend C said we can see how fast time flies just by looking at past photos of our son....so true!!! Ben has grown up so much. Recently when we went to the clinic for his fever and mouth ulcer, he was already 12.5kg (very heavy for me! haha!) and 87cm for height. Not too bad.

In terms of other development, he is already speaking many words and joining them together. "More biscuits, Another biscuits", etc...and this morning, we parked in front of the roti canai shop and he suddenly said "roti canai"...! wow! that is so great and fascinating.

He seemed to recognise places as well. Today we pass by the church and he started saying "Aunty M", "Aunty M" ....he loves going to playschool which is in the church as there are many toys there.

Of course, this comes with other stuff as well as when we want to take bath for him, he will run around and around and around the house for us to catch him! Pengsan. That part is stressful. And since we live in a condo, when we go out from our house to the car, he does not listen to us and instead runs around. My fear is always of oncoming cars. That is why we got a sort of a dog leash. Better to be safe than sorry, even though we get funny stares at shopping complexes.

Brother, I am not longer going to playschool anymore as afraid of infection. Just thought that the exposure will be good but I guess we can wait until later as it was just too stressful when he is sick! He refuse to take medicine. The last time round, I had to figure out how to "tipu" him to take medicine. First put in yoghurt. Then ice-cream. After that, hub had to force feed down. Sigh, stress, stress and stress.

I took hub, Ben and parents to Raub yesterday to see Uncle KT. It was time for mum's checkup and I took opportunity to get hub to do a medical checkup. Everything seemed to be in order.

This morning, we had a go at the gardens. We did half a round the lake before it got too hot and Ben refuse to move another inch. So I had to carry him back while hub took back the bicycle. Did not bring the camera. After this, no more bringing bicycle out-door anymore. It is just too heavy to carry the bike when Ben refuse to ride it. This is a pict of him on the bike in our house.
