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..... =(

Nevertheless, let me fill you in of things I know now!

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!!
