6th Wedding Anniversary

It was Alphonse and my 6th wedding anniversary on 18th November 2012!

Time really flies.

Still remember the late nights I spent, doing up the video slideshow for Alphonse last year. It was so difficult to give a surprise since we were always in the same study room.

This year, we just had a simple dinner at CHISO ZANMAI located that The Central (above Clarke Quay MRT).

 

CHISO is a pleasant dining place serving Japanese buffet.

I like that it is spacious and it wasn't really noisy during their peak hours.

Wondering why we chose a buzzling buffet place instead of having romantic candlelight diner?

There...

Why would anyone need candlelights when there is such a BIG light bulb?

:P


Neither could we bring ourselves to let Elric into a restaurant with romantic ambience to... make noise...

or dance the Gangnam Style.... 

HAHAHA

"I'm sure you won't leave me with grandmas... Right??"

Dinner was enjoyable although we couldn't stay for long.

I guess that's alright.
What's more important was that we had good time together. ^^

Tots about Marriage

Some friends told me they didn't want to enter into marriage. They said that man are not trustworthy and women (themselves) may not be any better. Some who are married said they wouldn't keep their vows if not for the kids. 

It's a saddening trend and it's really by God's grace that Alphonse and I are still going strong.

We argue. In fact, we argue quite a bit. 
That happens when two persons have different personalities and preferences. We each have our opinions and we often forget to show love by giving in.

When that happens, you have TWO CHOICES.

1. Forgive out of LOVE
2. Quarrel and fight further

Of course, this has got to go both ways. You can't have one person giving in and forgiving all the time while the other takes advantage of it.


It's my prayer, that our marriage will endure through testings and till death do us part.


With Love,
Mummy Kaye

I asked Elric...

As Alphonse and I bring Elric to the library rather often, we want to ensure he understands the need to lower his volume whenever he is there. (Or even other places where he should remain quiet) The universal sign would be the easiest to teach, so we would put the index finger on the lips and say, "ssshhh..." whenever we want him to lower the volume.

We would also renforce it when we see children running around or crying in the library by showing Elric the sign.

Out of jest, I asked Elric, "What would you do if a baby cry?" and "What would you do if a baby scream?".

I was very amused by his response! I wonder if he really meant it. hahaha...

So far, he hasn't walked away when he heard screams but it would be funny if he really did that. :P


Alright, hope he brought a smile to your face! :D


Cheers,

Mummy Kaye

Brush my teeth!

Elric's growth of teeth is very slow.

Most of the kids at his age would have had all their milk teeth but he still has some missing ones. In fact, he skipped his lateral incisors and grew the molars instead. I have no idea why. :(

Anyhow, I have started Elric on the routine to brush his teeth. It is important to teach him care for those little jewels in his mouth!

No Elric... That's not how you brush your teeth.

Now that's better.

See my wide smile!

Watch this video if you are teaching your child to brush his teeth too.

I thought it was pretty helpful. 

I have also found a "Brush you Teeth Song!' 

haha... gonna sing for Elric so that he remembers the importance of brushing his teeth! :P 

Isn't it cute? And Elric likes cats too!

If the incisors still do not appear in the next few months, I will have to bring him to the PD for an X-Ray. Hopefully that need not happen!

Cheers, 

Mummy Kaye
