Conversations with Maegan

How does one hold a conversation with a 19 month old girl?

You just try really but they really do crack you up.

This is a sample of my conversation with Little Miss Maegan this morning:

Me: Hi darling, how are you doing?
Mae: Daddy!
Me: What did you do this morning?
Mae: Barney! Video!
Me: Wow! Did you watch Barney just now?
Mae: Barney! No more.
Me: Oh. Barney no more? What did you do after that?
Mae: Barney no more.
Me: Did you play after watching barney?
Mae: Yes! Play.
Me: What did you play?
Mae: That! (Pointing towards her new Dora brick toys)
Me: Did you play with Dora?
Mae: DORA!
Me: Wow. You were playing with Dora?
Mae: Daddy? Outside! Outside!
Me: You want to go out?
Mae: YES!


Off she went to get her shoes and stands at the door.

Mae: Daddy? Outside!

And our conversations continues while the dutiful dad grabs his shoe and obediently opens the door for the talking little miss maegan.

Our little drummer gal

Christmas is just round the corner.

So round the corner that our storeroom is full of presents both wrapped and unwrapped. It gets more each year as new babies are added to the list of gifts we need to buy.

But under our Christmas tree is what is getting exciting. You see, under the tree is one present we know that little miss Maegan will really enjoy much to our neighbours dismay. It's a children's drum kit.


You see, on her recent trip to JB with her grandparents, they realised that she seems to like hitting on the drums (much like the tables, cups, spoons and chopsticks we keep stopping her from hitting with) and she seemed to have a natural flair to it.

So her uncle comes back and decided to get her a drum kit for Christmas.

I saw her in action recently at a friend's place. Most parents are biased when it comes to the possible talent their child possess. We'll let you decide if she is indeed talented. :o)



Whatever it is, she seems to love it and that is all that matters to us. (maybe except the neighbours after Christmas Day).

In the meantime, have yourself a blessed Christmas!

We're finally back

It feels great to be back.

First of all, sorry for the delay in putting this blog back "live" again. Those of you who knows why the shutdown, thanks for the understanding. Those of you who don't, thanks for your understanding anyways. :o)

Whatever the reason was, it just feels great to be back.

Why? Maegan's growing up so fast that I really want to journal down all the moments that makes me love being a dad.


Not only is she 19 months officially yesterday, she's going to be a big sister in two months!

She's talking, she's running, she's loud, she's everything a little miss will be and more. More recently, she's memorised all of our names, from her grandparents to her uncles and aunties.

To be fair, she remembered all of her stuff toys names first before ours but we can't complain can we?

Just at dinner, she started counting. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, TEN! And she claps and smiles and yeah!

Maegan's just growing up and it's exciting seeing all these moments.

Amazing how fast a baby grow up.

Too fast. :o)
