Cars 2 is coming to town..finally!

It's no secret that Keston loves CARS....like most boys his age, they seem to have an invisible attraction to things with wheels, ie. cars and trains. Or rather, CARS and THOMAS. But let's get this straight, he likes Thomas but he LOVES CARS.

To fuel his addiction, we have watched the original part 1 DVD probably like a hundred times now and buy every issue of the CARS magazine to keep him interested in reading...He knows the name of all the characters, even the calefare *blink-and-you'll-miss-it* ones...!!!

Sometime last year I read that CARS 2 would be out this year and was quite excited to bring him to watch. Alas, I would have just delivered didi and be in confinement when it finally hits the big screens over here. Although his dad has promised to bring him to the movies, I am still disappointed as I would love to be there watching with him, rather than to hear him talk about it.

Catch Cars 2 movie starting from 25^th August 2011 and join the official Disney Studios Singapore Facebook & Twitter page!

Now I'm 3!

My precious firstborn turns 3! A year ago this time, I was fretting about his inability to vocalise. A year on, he's now talking up a storm! It's been an interesting year seeing the little one blossom and growing into his own character.

For the most part, he's still a shy little thing. He enjoys meeting people, often requesting to go to "Mummy's friend's house" or to "See Daddy's friend", but will shy away when he sees strangers. In the privacy of family and familiarity, he's such a fun little boy. Obstinate definitely, but hilarious alot of the times.

I love talking to him every day after school as he recounts the day's happenings, from what food he ate to who was naughty in school. I do so love Keston at this age! The tantrums have dropped ever so slightly (better than nothing!) as it's easier for him to express what upsets him. That said, it is still not easy to tell him NO.

As the impending arrival of his didi looms, I've been filled with guilt for the upcoming neglect he's gonna be facing. I try to spend more time loving him, less time scolding him. And although I know it's not right, I do spoil him quite abit. For the past months I've been too lazy/tired to bathe him so his dad would have to drag a crying boy screaming "I WANT MUMMY TO PONG PONG!" into the bath. But in the final month of my pregnancy, I've been tending to his 3x daily baths. I know I won't be able to do it in the month after I pop, so I'm making up for it first :P

And although he was quite resistant to the idea of didi at first, Keston's now slowly coming around to the idea. While not quite embracing the thought, at least he accepts that it's going to happen. I do try to prepare him for the days ahead, reminding him that I won't have as much time to tend to him soon but I still love him very much. But he always ends up thinking I'm gonna be leaving him soon....sigh~

We'll see what happens.

Happy 3rd Birthday my little handsome one! Hope you'll stay the happy kiddo you are!

What would I do differently?

I've been meaning to and not getting down to blogging. There's so much to update-- Keston's school, developments, the coming baby, etc.

I'm now in my 25 weeks (or so, lost count :P) and I've been thinking, what would I do differently for this baby from what I did with Keston? Along the way, I must have commented a number of times "I will/won't do this if I have a 2nd baby" But now, I can't quite remember! Hmm...
