About the Boy

We bought a bed for his room a couple of weeks ago (3 weeks ago?) and he has been happy to sleep in his own room since. But he still insists on sleeping with me, and with me in recovery mode, I'm trying to avoid sleeping in aircon rooms so this arrangement works for me. 

He has also been sleeping through the night without peeing, yay! We've had accidents but thankfully put a waterproof sheet underneath so the mattress didn't get soiled. 

The boy is growing up! 

Recently he has been more affectionate, giving me kisses and hugs when I ask, compared to his younger days when he will turn his cheek when you ask him to kiss you (and you have to kiss him instead). He has also been picking flowers to give me which makes my heart melt.

He has been going for swim lessons every week unless he is sick, and you can see his progress from being afraid to jumping in the pool to enjoying to swim on his own while wearing the float. 

I'm trying not to be a tiger mom but I might be sending him for mandarin enrichment classes. This is more because we don't speak mandarin at home so I'm trying to give him more exposure. He will be going for a trial lesson next week so let's see how that goes. 

He enjoys watching titipo (the little train) and can watch the same 13 episodes over and over and over again. He also enjoys going to the Tayo station, an indoor playground at Downtown East in Pasir Ris. 

The TCM suggested I give him a massage before he sleeps, so that's part of our nightly routine as well. We have also been giving him huai shan (mountain yam) which is supposed to be good for the spleen, strengthening it so he can absorb food better. 

The boy has a cheeky sense of humour and loves to make us laugh. I'm sure he got his silliness from both sides, so is amplified in him. Haha 

Words cant describe how much I love the boy and +3 and this little family that we have together. I must have done something good.
