February 21st, 2012Eat your veggies!

When Caity was still around 2 years old, her favorite vegetable to munch on was cucumber. She also loves to eat fruits so we always keep stock of fresh produce at home. I tried feeding her then with fresh bell peppers and tomatoes but she didn’t like it. Fast forward to present, Caity now likes bell peppers (but only the yellow & red) and cherry tomatoes too! If your kids refuse to eat certain vegetables now, let some time pass and re-introduce it to them. Who knows, they might give those vegetables a second chance.

Here’s the kid after her nap, having an afternoon snacks of  carrots sticks, yellow & red bell peppers, cherry tomatoes,  bread with butter and some dried sausages.

Eat all you can!!!

Those are fresh alright, my kids prefer to nibble on crunchy vegetables compared to cooked, soft ones.

Some more of Caity, trying to be funny!

February 4th, 2012Sick week

This is our first time to join

Caity was sick since Monday, so we kept her at home. I bet it was because she wasn’t properly dressed for the cold temperature when she & her dad went home from the party last Saturday and she lacked sleep, that did it. On Wednesday, her fever was already gone but she still had colds. We decided it was better to let her stay home for the remaining school days than bringing the virus to her class.

The two tots kept me busy all day, all week long!  With hubby working till late at night for three straight days, everyday was a struggle for me.  I had to be their playmate, maid, teacher, referee, entertainer, ___, ___… (what else?), all rolled into one. Whew! Oh, and I had to make sure noses dripping like leaking faucet were wiped every minute or so. Even though Caity was sick, her level of energy was still hard to beat.  Kids!

This used to be our living room!!! Caity and lil’ bro took over the place and turned it into a playground. KIDS!!!

We resurrected their old plastic play house upon Caity’s request.  It’s all battered but still never fails to give the kids happiness.

Monday night: “Picture me Mama!”  Caity makes numerous poses before she went to bed.

Thursday: Caity prepared lunch for her friends – Minnie Mouse, Dog and Teddy Bear.

Chow time!  What a feast!  It made me smile when I heard her praying before they attacked the food. hihi

The family is holed up at home for the weekend because it’s lil’ bro’s turn to be sick. Its probably the effect of his vaccination last Tuesday.  That, or he caught Caity’s virus.

Let’s take a trip back to memory lane this time, back to summer of 2011 when it was filled with glorious vacations to other European cities and mostly lazing around.

The whole family was all giddy with excitement, as you can see, once we got to Prague airport, the kids couldn’t contain themselves and were all over the place, running, including Big Daddy.

On board to Helsinki with her Minnie Mouse toy which we bought @ Disney on Ice 2010.

We’ve landed! During the whole trip, Caity was constantly babbling about meeting her Mama Cookie and cousins.  Oh yeah, she had been waiting for that day!

I love how Helsinki Airport is kid-friendly.  They have this stroller for kids who are too tired to walk (in lil’ bro’s case, he had to be strapped or else he’d run away!)

Caity’s travel wouldn’t be complete without her Tipu the Tiger Trunki. It’s a ride-on luggage for children, which is too cute and very convenient. Don’t be deceived by its small size, it’s got lots of space inside for kid’s stuff; we fill it up with nappies, books, crayons, food, and other important things for the little traveler.

Let’s see where Caity and her Trunki will go to this year for vacation. Hmmmm… I can already smell the tropical air!
