Happy Mommy's Day!!
Today is Mommy's Day! RaeAnne and Daddy got gifts for Mommy and gave her yesterday night. RaeAnne got for Mommy a cute little lamb in a heart-shaped tin container. Daddy got a nice looking apron for Mommy so that she can whip out more delectable and nutritious dishes for the family. :)
Today, after 'parking' the two princesses at Nai Nai's place, we went to Momoya for Buffet lunch. A sumptuous meal as we ordered numerous dishes. Mommy liked the sashimi whereas Daddy wolfed down 2 plates of fried beef. NICE!!
After that we went to pick up our 2 princesses and had a Mommy's cake that Daddy had bought for Nai Nai. RaeAnne also sang a Happy Birthday song to Nai Nai, thinking it's her birthday. haha... She really liked the Fruit Paradize cake and enjoyed the fruits while Mei Mei RaeLynn was looking hungrily at the cake.. poor thing.. next time ok??
Here's wishing a Happy Mommy's Day to Mommy!!

A shining red medal... ;)
Yesterday, I saw a 'medal' in RaeAnne's weekly folder from PG and asked her who is it for. She said 'for mummy'. When I prompted her what must you say, she said 'I love you mummy'. But when I told her no, you are supposed to say Happy Mother's Day. She said 'Happy Mummy's Day'. It is her first present to me although it was made by the teachers. But I will definitely keep it. In fact, I think I should find a big box and keep all the Mother's Day cards that my kids give me so that I can see how much they have grown over the years. :) hehe, so sentimental hor but then i have a box for all the cards that hubby gave me over the years too. So, that's me. I guess I am worried that if I lose my memory when I am old, I still have the cards to remind me of the happy memories we have. ;)Made potato salad last night and chilled it overnight for breakfast cos I know we don't have time to go for breakfast today cos I have post natal massage at Rustic Nirvana at 10am. I modified from this recipe http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Summer-Potato-Salad/Detail.aspx but added raisins and toasted bacon bits (omitted onions and pepper) Hubby found it the dressing sour though. Duh... not sure if I should bother to make it again but if I do, will probably just put mayo and salt. Easier and better appreciated. :P
Finally it's my 5th treatment at the spa. Just left with 1 last session on 30 May. Supposed to finish it before Raelynn is 6 months old for best effect. How time flies, my sweet Raelynn is coming to 6 months old. Everytime I talk to her and call her name when she is on the bouncer or exersaucer, she will give me a radiant smile and laugh. To her, I always feel guilty cos I can't spend as much time as compared to when we had RaeAnne. But she always brightens my day with her smiles and goo goo gaa gaa. I realise she has daddy genes though, whenever I switch on the tv while trying to BF her, she will turn her head towards the tv and ignore me. Even if I mute the tv, it's useless. Got no choice but to switch off the tv and concentrate on BF her. Duh, never had the same problem with RaeAnne leh.... ;P
Brought RaeAnne to Marche at 313 Somerset after that and they have a very nice children play area with 3 rocking horses and even a children size wooden playhouse. I had my favourite pork knuckle while RaeAnne and hubby shared a strawberry cake. They did not eat much cos RaeAnne had a mcnuggets happy meal while hubby had a cheeseburger. RaeAnne got another Doraemon happymeal toy to add to her collection. Now, she had Doraemon space astroanut, Dorami astronaut and Doraemon submarine. How time flies, I went to watch the old youtube video of RaeAnne feeding herself hot cakes in Mar 09 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st5JZCX3k3k and felt so wistful that she is now so big and independent. No wonder Dr Wong said some parents have a 3rd one after the first 2 kids grow up cos they feel lost without a baby to love. haha.
RaeAnne KO on the car ride home and slept for 1 hr until 4pm. Hubby bought a very nice Doctor playset for RaeAnne at OG Orchard point. The stethoscope had the sound of a heartbeat and they have a handheld dentist mirror with light. Impressive. Needless to say, RaeAnne spent the whole afternoon after her nap playing doctor. I got to nap in peace from 3+pm - 5+pm too. Nice! :)
Oh yes, RaeAnne was singing a new song today. I knew the tune but not the lyrics nor the title. But she asked me to sing it for her. All I caught was two little boys which she kept repeating. Hummed the tune to hubby to try and solve the mystery, and it turned out to be the 'Mockingbird' song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySFmgEBC-tg&feature=fvw "Hush little baby, don't you cry, papa is going to buy you a mockingbird" Duh, basically she replaced all the toys (mockingbird, horse and cart etc) with 'two little boys'. Duh, where did that come from? Must go and ask her PG teachers. ;)

妈咪肚子好了吗？
Been having stomach upset last few days. Not sure if it's due to the half cooked cockles that I ate at Changi Village or due to my mum's curry vegetables. Told RaeAnne that I am sick and she has been very sweet and allowing me to nap even though she is not sleeping. Yesterday and today, she asked me when I was lying down with her on the bed 妈咪肚子好了吗？：）
"Daddy you want to go out or not?" We decided to go to NTUC today cos there is Friso3 promotion, only $44.25 even cheaper than the price we paid at Pasir Ris West Plaza. Hubby was a bit reluctant to go to TM cos it was already 8+pm by the time I had dinner and showered. So, he asked RaeAnne if she wanted to go out. RaeAnne did not say yes nor no. She just kept asking hubby the question above. But when hubby answered 'No', she kept asking again and again until hubby surrendered and said 'yes'. Guess our gal cannot take no for an answer after all.
P.S. one of her classmates from PG, Claire (Jia Huan cheh cheh), came to visit us today after class (they stay on the 10th floor). RaeAnne was happy to share her toys and even allowed Claire to use her bowl and cup and stool to eat fried rice. I guess she likes Claire more than Ethan then. The other boy from her PG came to our house last week cos the teachers accidentally put his hankerchief into RaeAnne's pocket. :P

Raelynn is 5 months old. :)
Smiling up at Daddy :) 
Fooling around with Cheh Cheh's barney sunglasses :)
Raelynn is 5 months old. Got no time to weigh n measure raelynn's height yet cos we had a stayacation at changi village hotel from fri to Sunday. Raelynn is very smiley n starting to recognize faces n laugh with us. The hotel stay was a last minute decision since mummy needed a break n the hotel had a very not to be missed stay 1 night get 1 night free promotion. I also arranged a photo shoot with bambini photography to make use of the hotel n changi beach board walk for outdoor location shoot as well. Raeanne was her cool self again so I really hope the photo turn out well.
P.S. Update on 4 May, poor Mei Mei is only 6.3 kg when we weighed her today. Must have lost weight due to her cough. :(
