Spotted at the mall one day:
It’s not every day that you meet a mannequin dressed like you.

Project MiniMe: Entry 0071
October 10, 2009Ten things my 17 month old son has taught me:
1. Subway meal > Big Breakfast > fish porridge.
2. The Eensy Weensy Spider looks like two index fingers touching each other.
3. When dragged in a direction not to liking, lie on the floor. Really still. And enable Poker Face Mode.
4. Water-skiing Floor-skiing is hilarious.
5. Strawberry toothpaste is yummy.
6. So is Daddy’s finger.
7. Successfully getting rubbish into the chute calls for self-applause.
8. So does succesfully getting the lift buttons to light up.
9. A toddler learning to jump resembles a chicken trying to take flight. (Yes, Synn and I are hard at work trying to capture a video of said flying jumping.)
10. A handphone is literally that. (Yes, we need a video of this as well.)

October 5, 2009C is for Cookie, that’s good enough for me…
Oh, and our friend has learnt a hand action to go with ‘No More!!’, lol.

The guy is obviously worried about the obstacle course when he does his National Service in time to come.
Sesame Street Comes To Punggol Central
September 30, 2009Synn and I have been watching a lot of Sesame Street lately on the computer with Tristan, who, by the way, stares transfixed by the singing and dancing.
We’ve even caught him humming along to some of the tunes, although it sounds like a tone deaf someone humming at this point in time and nothing like the Pavarotti that we thought we had. Sigh.
It does seem like he’s keen on being a Birdketeer, though:
The grin on his face when we flap his arms is hilarious.
Oh, and my current favourite:
Gotta love chickens that know how to chill by the beach.
Who knew Sesame Street could be so cool. ^^

September 27, 2009When baby chair has a flip up tablet, do this.
In the absence of said tablet, do this:
Until the food arrives.
After which, try to get Daddy’s attention to feed self.
And when all the food is finished, be a public nuisance until everyone wants to leave:

September 24, 2009To those people who cannot believe my adorable son can actually be annoying, I give you proof:
Honestly, he is the only guy I know who can’t keep still in a chair. It’s always either because he’s bored, or because he can’t wait for the food to arrive.
And when he decides he doesn’t want to swallow whatever is in his mouth, out it goes. You’d need the reflexes of an F1 driver to catch the fallout. Sigh.
Tristan’s Two Favourite Citizens Enjoy A Brief Respite
September 21, 2009Spotted in Tristan’s room one morning:
Tora Tiger And Bee Share A Quiet Moment Together
So touching.

September 18, 2009There are many moments in my life that I wonder why don’t I win lucky draw contests more often.
And then there are the times I wonder why when I do, I can’t really use the prizes.
Well, this time I’d won a furniture set from Aussino. I’d be happier if it were adult sized, but all they had were pint sized ones. In any case, we decided it would be in everyone’s interest to keep the furniture in cold storage until Tristan could actually use it.
We decided that that day had finally arrived, and spent some time arranging it around his official new room.
The Firing Squad Got Ready
The cool thing about the set is that it’s themed, and has got all the items that we wouldn’t normally buy, like the toy chest, floor standing lamps and book shelf.
Cookie Monster Finds New Friends
We even managed to find wall stickers to complement the Jungle theme going in his room, lol.
Who Doesn't Love Stickers
The little desk needed some assembly, but once taken care of, fit in splendidly, as did the accompanying little chairs. It really made the room look like a place my little boy could live and grow up in.
Christmas Pooh Tried To Reach For The Magna Doodle
Interestingly enough, Tristan seemed to know immediately this was to be his new room, and there didn’t seem to be any confusion for him when we subsequently referred to this room as his.
I wish I had a room as cool when I was his age.

September 15, 2009With all the mimicking Tristan has been up to (and simultaneously annoying and amusing us), we figured it was high time Daddy and Mummy did some mimicking of our own:
It’s so funny watching him get annoyed with us near the end of the session.
