Bowling Miss Maegan

Sometimes I look with envy at my friends who are overseas. They seem to have so much more fun as a family than we have in Singapore.

But yet, there are times we we would go out as a family where we would find that Singapore actually has many places that is great fun for families.

Last weekend at Kallang Leisure Park was a great example.




Who would have thought that Little Miss Maegan would enjoy bowling as much as she did. Not just her but all of us watching her pushing the ball along down the alley.

She was so fun to watch that even the family at neighbouring lanes had a great laugh as well.

Perhaps we should do more as a family, things that are out of the ordinary.

Hmmm.... Archery next?

:o)

Meredith's on Steriods

Yes. Meredith's on steriods. Legally.


It seems that all the red patches on her face is not baby rash but a form of baby eczema which her doctor say she needs steroids cream.

It's painful to see your baby cry the way she does, especially when the cream is applied on her but, it does help tremendously.

Poor girl. :o(

A night without Maegan

Yes. We spent a night without Maegan staying with us.

She's a grown up now.

Little Miss Maegan gladly said goodbye to her mum and Auntie Nina (Dad was at work the whole day) as she skipped out of the door with her grandparents. "See you later!" she yelled.

Maegan was one happy girl leaving the comfort of her own home to stay overnight with her grandparents by herself.

She's stayed over many times before but this is the first time that even Auntie Nina isn't going.

We've always thought that she is inseparable from Nina. We were worried because she might be jealous seeing Nina carrying Meredith but nothing of that sort happened with Maegan. She received Meredith with open arms (literally) and now, she can stay overnight with her grandparents without any one of us being around.


Why shouldn't she be excited about staying over without us? The commentary from her grandparents the next day proved it right.

Little Miss Maegan played with all her toys she missed so much. She took every single one out and played with them from living room to bedroom until 1.00am. (Only grandparents would allow her to sleep at 1am.)

She then woke up at 5am only to start asking for milk and Auntie Nina and never slept again until she was back home.

All these while, she just kept playing, running around, went to the botanic garden, ate breakfast and then finally came home.

So what did her parents do while little miss Maegan had her sleepover?

We laid in bed asking ourselves, "I wonder how Maegan is doing?" and "Should we drive over to have a look?" and "What if she poos?".

I'm slowly learning that in instances like this, it's the parents that have the separation anxiety and not the kid.

:o)

Maegan the flower girl

Oh ...

For those of you who do not know, Maegan was one of the flower girls for Junn's wedding recently.

Her very first time being one and she did great. Not sure what the wedding couple think but for her parents, we couldn't be more proud of little miss Maegan.


Don't she look gorgeous like her mummy?

:o)

When does one learn to lie

When does one really learn to lie?

Recently after dinner, Maegan ran to me with her bottle of kids vitamin C in her hands asking for "two". She always says two because thats what she can remember using.

How old are you Maegan? "Two!"
What time did you sleep? "Two!"
How many sheeps are there in the book? "Two!"

Everything she associates with numbers is two.


So she comes running asking for two vitamin C. Being the smart daddy, and knowing that Daphne normally gives her the vitamin C around dinner, I asked her if mummy has already given her for the night.

"No!" was her reply.

I looked at my innocent daughter and almost ready to give her "two", I decided to ask Daphne in her room if she did already give her during dinner. To my "shock" or not so "shock", she said yes.

"Maegan ..." I said in a loud stern voice as I walk towards little miss Maegan in our living room "Daddy is asking you one more time, did mummy give you vitamin C just now?"

Without looking in my eyes and hiding her face in my lap, she nodded her head and said "Yes." And in a jiffy, she started her whimper which means she is about to cry.

It's amazing to see how kids grow and behave over time. It really makes me wonder when does one really learn to lie.

Do you know?

Bet you might be lying too! :o)

p.s. New Photos are out. Check it out!
