Full of events

September is always a month full of events as there are many birthday celebrations (my hubs & firstborn included), Mid-Autumn Festival and to make it even more exciting, we are going on a family vacation this September! I am so looking forward to the trip.

We have been spending the earlier weekends celebrating my sister and brother-in-law's birthdays. Coming up will be my firstborn's 4th birthday and her daddy's birthday celebrations (yes, their birthdays are just 4 days apart).

Apart from Janelle's 1st birthday which was a bigger scale party, the past 2 celebrations were more intimate as we celebrated with family and close friends in our cosy house. However, this year, my sister-in-law has kindly offered to book a room in Toa Payoh Safra Kidz Amaze for her 4th birthday celebration and we are excited as she can invite all her friends to the mega playground. Hence I have been busy with her birthday celebration preparations (plus another celebration in her school on her actual day). And her fickle-mindedness on the theme for her party did not make it any easier. I will save that story for another blog.

As the family vacation draws nearer, I have also gotten busier with itinerary planning and running through a mental list of the things to buy, bring and pack for the lil ones (well, I guess I am too lazy to note down the things required so everything is based on what I can remember :p). We have just change the currency for the trip which simply adds on to the excitement as it means the date is drawing near.

And I am supposed to pack the luggage earlier as the weekend will be packed with birthday celebrations and we will be off to another land. But I have not started packing as I was occupied for the past 2 days (well, I went for the much-needed facial and mooncake shopping with my boy)

Guess I better start packing now as we are bringing the kids out to play with lanterns tomorrow cos it is Mid-Autumn Festival. And Janelle's birthday gift from her yiyi will be arriving at our house this Friday. A busy week with sooooo many things to look forward.

OUCH!

Jayven suffered another knock on his forehead on Monday. He was playing with his jiejie and being the affectionate boy, he kept asking to be carried by her. Just when I turned my back to get things from the kitchen, Janelle stumbled while carrying him and both fell flat on the floor. Poor Jayven got a BIG baluku on his forehead and the amount of blood that flowed from his nose was scary. We had to pacify him and stop his nose from bleeding. Janelle gotten a shock and kept apologizing to her didi.

Lucky the swell has subsided now, leaving the bruise to recover. We have monitored him and there are no percussions after the hard knock.

My poor baby! This wobbly baby have been getting bumps and bruises (Bumps and Bruises) We are really worried that the frequent knocks may affect his brain development. If only there is safety helmet for toddler, he will definitely need one.

Jayven took a while to warm up

He was initially scared & kept asking to be carried

And he made new friend

My princess loves to run through the water sprinkle. Loves this shot.
