Had a relatively easy and stress-free weekend. For the most bit of Sat, I was taking care of M cos Iz was working. Though sticky, he was such a sweet little boy. I liked it most when he was just lying on me and watching telly. He probably watches a tad too much telly but it does entertain him so…esp the song/dance ones. Quite cute to see how he learns new stuff each day…new words, new ‘dance’ movements. These days, he is also able to string words to form simple sentences. This morning he said,”Mummy, I want you to carry.” He has progressed from ‘up’ to ‘carry to ‘Mummy,carry.” to this. My little boy sure is growing up :) 

Yesterday, we went for dinner at Peramakan, which has shifted from Joo Chiat to Keppel Club. It is much bigger and nicer now. Food-wise, it is still as good. The whole restaurant was full yesterday and apparently, they had 3 seatings as well. Jeff met a few people he knew from Wesley there as well. Family dinners are great but think with 3 little restless kids, a sit down dinner does not work. Interaction is minimal cos at some point of the other, someone will be out walking one of the kids. And yesterday was worse, it was a really long table so could really talk except to person across and beside. We really need to find more places where and the adults can eat and the kids can run about as soon as they are done.M had his first taste of buah keluak and evidently he did not like it much. Tried a teeny weeny bit of it, grimaced, spat it out and cried. I love it though. So since he would not eat it, I could have the entire nut to myself. Hahaha!! M was such a gentleman yesterday, MM asked him to greet the BHL and instead, he stuck out his hand to shake her hand. It was quite a sight and though we laughed at him, I was secretly quite proud of him….Hmm…a man in the making. When he was just a sac and later a wee one in my tummy, I used to wonder what he would look like when arrived and now that he has arrived, I wonder what sort of a boy/man he would be. What sort of characteristics would he have???
