Painful experience for Jarrett

I was playing on the sofa, I lost my balance & fell off from the back rest of the sofa. My arm hurts badly & the pain did not go away. I can't lift my arm either. So daddy & mummy immediately brought me to NUH A&E & get a doc to check on my arm.

They wanted to place my arm correctly for an X-tray. But was too painful. So they gave painkiller to lessen the pain & took another round of X-tray. Not long later, they informed that I have broke the thin bone on the upper part of my right arm & might need an operation. I was asked to get warded & wait for it.

In the room many doctors came to check on me & also insert a needle into my hand. Mummy say is for drip. It was also very painful & I hate it. Everytime I wanted to sleep, there'll be pain from my arm or jabs given that I didn't want to sleep anymore. But I was very tired & fell asleep at 4am.

Next morning everything is better until afternoon a nurse came in to change me into a fishy gown & bring me down to a room full of machines. It was scary as there were many people wearing green gowns & want to place things onto me. Not long later I fell asleep & awake feeling heavy on my head & daddy & mommy were not with me. After they came & nurses push me back to my room.

Doctor told daddy that my arm did not break badly so only place the bone back in position & cast it. If it did not go well they'll then need to place pin into my arm to fix it. I hope that won't happen.

After several docs came to check on me & allow daddy & mummy to give me food, I feel much happier!! I enjoy the red bean bun & my dinner!! Since everything is going well for me, doctor told daddy I can go home!! Yipee!!!

The pain came again when I need to change to my home clothings...It was very painful to lift up my arm!! I cried really loud & hope they stop. I also had problem walking, I tripped a couple of time...maybe I have been in bed for too long?? They decided to carry me instead.

Once home, they quickly make a comfy bed for me to rest in & not long later I fell asleep......

I know my mistake I promise daddy & mummy I will not do it again..it's a painful mistake...not worth going thru again.

Spending Mooncake festival at home

Mon afternoon, sch called mom & told her that they suspect that I got HFMD.
I might got it from another toddler as that toddler's family called to inform them that their child got it.
So last nite they brought me to the doc & he confirmed that I have contacted it.
Today my mouth hurts & I am running high fever too.
Even if mom has set up my fav Thomas & friends blue track I was not in the mood to play them.
I spend most of my time watching TV & napping.
To cheer me up, they decided to celebrate the Mooncake festival a day earlier.
They fix up Thomas lantern & wanted to play them in the dark with me, but I was too scare so I just have it with me while I have my mooncakes & a piglet cake.
After the snack I brought Thomas to be my bedside lamp & keep my company.

Enjoy the pics ma took in the below link!

Brave Jarrett overcomes the fear of trimming his hair!

I was terrified when mummy & daddy suggest that I get a hair cut. I hate the sound of the clipper & also the hair poking me.
But they planned alot of snacks & programs to treat me after the cut.

You can see from the pics in the link below, they gave me milk biscuits & watch Toy Story!!

I never cry at all!! Pass with flying colors!!!

Jarrett says hi!

Sorry for away for so long,

things weren't very smooth for me last mth.

I was down with viral infection of terrible cough...after that I caught HFMD after an outdoor event at sch on that very weekend.

During this time, Granny came & took care of me. The first few days were very difficult for me...the uclers in my mouth makes me loose my appetite & temper too.

I was super grouchy & cried alot. Mummy & daddy felt painful for me. They gave in to me due to my pain & pray hard that I recover soon.

Although I only had fever during the first day & recovered from my ucler after a week, but it took me 3weeks to recover instead!

Doc say kids that has sensetive skin took longer time than usual to recover from the rashes..... =(

I started attending childcare

Mummy say it's time I mix around with other children & attend school.

My first visit there, I had fun!
There are many other toys that I don't have it at home.
But the thing I don't like is mummy can't stay & play with me.

The first mth, granny & mummy took turns to help me adjust to sch.

Second mth, things are going smoother & mummy has to start to adjust handling it all by herself as granny has moved back home.

The teachers there are all very nice to me.
Someday mummy will take pics of the teachers & post them here.
They are patient & really put in effort to make me feel comfy.

after being with the sch for almost 2mths, I am able to cope being in sch for almost 12hrs. She has to leave me at sch around 7.15am & come pick me around 6:30pm. Mummy feels bad, so she'll rush home to pick me up as early as possible. At times daddy will come pick me or granny come pick me earlier to stay over at her place for the weekend! She still miss me bothering her..heehehehee

Where did I go on my birthday?

Recently as you can see, I have been to many places. So mummy & daddy had a headache where to bring me. They decided to let me play at the Science Center's water playground. But it was not open that day. So we went Science center instead.

Yes, a 2yrs old lad enter Science center on his birthday. It's a place that is too young for me! hahahaa...Nevertheless, I still got to enjoy myself there.

They found Da Vinci exhibit there...since this could be the only chance to see...they bought enterance tickets for it. (entry without Da Vinci was $6 for adults)

I get to explore some inventions that this great guy did. His life is amazing.

Sorry no pics of it cos we aren't allow to take once we enter the hall...so this is all we took.

Mostly are in videos...so be patient....mummy had just finish uploading pics of the past mths..so she'll also upload the videos of the past mths before she gets to upload videos of my adventure in the Science Center. So stay tune!!!

I speak!

Mummy always wondering when I'll start talking.

Well, I do say a few things, just not in proper pronounciation.
But that's fine with them as long as they understand.
Or else will be my hand sign.
They know me best.

Things I say:

Bar (bus)
Sit
Shut
ge ge (train)
papa
mama
mah mah (granny)
jeet (jeep)
milk / neh neh
su su (uncle)
por (granny)
pai si (naughty)

And yesterday I spoke my 1st sentence!
"Sit in bus"
"sit in ge ge (train)"

More to come!!
