Jelly and Jam JJJ

One day when Hong Zheng came down stair for bath, he sang a song with his created "instrument", a roll of flayers. At first, i did not understand about the lyrics. I asked him what he sing and from where he learns. He then told me he said "Jelly and Jam JJJ" from phonics book.


Influenza A Positive!

On 13th April, i brought Hong Zheng to Pantai Specialist because he had high fever up to 39.2C and condition did not improve although under fever medication.
He took his medicine at around 11:30am and we set off to Pantai at 2pm as clinic rests from 1-2pm.
We were the 6th patient in the noon. When came to our turn , it is around 3:30pm.

Doctor took his temperature and it was 40.2C! Doctor explained it could be just a normal fever or influenza. He took small sample of saliva using a cotton butt and tested with a rapid kid. We were asked to perform a blood test.

After around 30min of waiting, we got the blood report and went back to clinic. I immediately asked the nurse how was the result and she told me it was POSITIVE!!!!

I hardly believe my eye and ear as the way she told me was like kidding on me! Finally we went in again and it was confirmed, Influenza A positive! Oh my god! I was told H1N1 was the subset of Influenza A. Hong Zheng might not or might affected H1N1. Doctor told me he wards are full and Hong Zheng cannot be wadded but he can go under medication and quarantine at home.

That day after home, i started to keep an enye on his temeperature. I took his tempearature after each 30min to 1 hour started from 8pm Tuesday. His temperature got stable only after the following day night.









Today is the 6th day, temperature is within control but somewhat cough is never recover. Really really worry me. Will call doctor tomorrow if further check up is needed.

If you asked me why he was affected? I do not know maybe the last sunday shopping trip.

Inhale bubbles

Today in bathroom, Hong Zheng somehow inhaled bubbles into his nose. He complained to me that it was pain. Poor boy. He likes to generates some bubbles in a cup and then blow it. Today, he put the cup too close to his nose. Poor my son.

Quiting diaper during nap!

I told him he has to quit his diaper during nap time so that when he goes to school next year, he will not need teacher to help him. So, we tried it up and it worked on the first day. He went to pass his urine before his nap. One hour later, he claimed for wee wee. I brought him to washroom. After his business, he went back to sleep for another hour. I was so amazed!

Second day, as first day, he past his urine before nap but some how he did ask for wee wee during his nap. As a result, he got wet but he still fall asleep for another hour!

Do you want to go school?

I always ask him if he wants to go school to learn new things from teacher. He usually said "No". Surprisingly, one day he said yes and then go to wear his shirt and paints. He actually always wait for me to help him. While trying to put on his clothes, he mumbles " teacher teaches me tree, flower, fish, and bra bra!" These are the sentences i use to tell him.

Start to be a better listener!

Hong Zheng are getting better as a listener. He listened and followed my instruction.
He can sit still in trolley without asking to go down when we were in the shopping mall about an hour.

He understand he need to handover his favourite Yakult to the cashier.

He can quickly clean up his mess after being asked to do so.

However, sometimes incidents still happen. I think this is normal as he is still a two years old 4 months boy.

New Trick! Start all over again!

I always limit Hong Zheng for some bedtime story books. If i do not do so, he can ask me to read for a few hours non-stop. So, always he appeals me one last book. His one last book is never ending. So, one day, i told him that was really the last book and he nodded as a sign of agreement. So, i started to read page by page, when half way through, he asked me to go back to first page and start all over again. It was wierd but i sort of agree and start all over again. Again half way he asked to start all over again! Ha! this is his trick to keep the forever last book!! See, how smart he is!

I got a sprinkle!

Without knowing any reason, i found a sprinkle at my right thumb. I told Hong Zheng it was a sprinkle. He read a book about First Aid which sounds "if you have a sprinkle, tweeze it, put medicine on it and get a hug". Without asking, he quickly jumped up from bed and went to take medicine. He volunteerly opened the cover and put the medicine tube on my hand. I was really relly touch. He closed it after i applied the medicine and then return it to the drawer. He then came to give me a hug. So sweet!

A ballon!


Hong Zheng is getting better in controlling his hand in drawing what he wants. He drew balloon!
Surprisely he drew a nice one with a circle and a string! Nice job!

See the satisfaction look on his face.

Playing with a raw fish


Have you ever let your child play with raw fish? Not fish from fish tank but from wet market?

I always give any grocery things to Hong Zheng to play while i am preparing for meal. He first started to play with onions, garlic, sweet corn. After that he switch to red bean, black bean and soy beans. Lately i started to give him raw fish. I have no choice as he has get bored to those things that he use to play with.

Off course i took the oppurtunity to teach him about fin, scale, tail, eye. How fish fish balance themselves in water, how they control the directio and how they breath in water. Never forget about cold blooded animal vs warm blooded animals...

I love you with all my heart!

Lately read Hong Zheng on this book with title : "I love you with all my heart!". One day when i was putting him bath, he said it to me:"Mommy, i love you with all my heart!" So lovely and touching. Dont you agree with me?

This book describes about a baby tear finding answer the meaning of " my mommy loves me with all my heart".

We come to learn how animals share their love with their little one, example, mommy fox gives friendly nibble, penguin gives hug with her fins and more..
