His friend Momo

Lukey was delighted to see the lonely momo at the gate when we arrived at linden drive! (Family away) He stood at the gate watching her for quite a while... And even patted her gently before heading the other way to look for his kors kors! 

Am quite surprised that Momo actually stayed where she was and let babe pat her.... Cos she usually walks away when this boy is near!! Cos the gentle patting usually ends with a pinch, making the poor dog scream!!!! (The last pinch was just last Saturday!!!)

Yes..... Pat gently, Luke!!

My little trooper is growing up!

He has finally weaned completely from mama's milk and for the first time, slept through the night with no fuss!!!!!!! Hooray for lukey!!!!!!!!

Our baby is 2!!!

Happy birthday dear darling..... ❤️

And what better way to celebrate than having his favorite kor kors and jie jie over for a play date!!

Packed all of them in the land rover and off to spend the evening at the amk playground.... 

* lukey running after the kor kors and jie jie!!!

And of course dear little boy was playing alongside with the older children but not with them... Haha... Always near....

* there he is at the corner of the picture..

Lukey tried to climb the ropes just like his cousins... And he managed to lift himself up!!

* was trying to take some group pictures... Hahaha... But the two year old kept walking away!!!

There... Our best group picture!! Hahahah 

Earlier in the day, I asked the little one where he would like to go.... Gave him a list of places... And guess what? He chose to feed the fishes! "Buy ball (of fish food)".... :)

So we went.....

* the glorious dispenser with all the balls of fish food! Hahaha

* chased the birds and made my heart jumped!!! Cos he just darted off!!! 

Mama's new ride!

This twisty twirly ride is just so much fun!!!! Can spend hours just going around the house!! Hahaha.... And my little baby rode with me as mama just wouldn't get down! Hahahahha ... *All pictures taken while in motion*!!

* we do pillion riding...

* leg holding and running along.. Haha

* front loading! Hahahaha

* baby riding....

* babe at the wheels!! Not looking at the "road"!!

Just goofing around with mama! :)

The blue tracks are back!!

A recent discovery of the big box of blue tracks at kor kor's house led to his interest in the train set again!

He was pushing the trains round and round and round the tracks for the longest time!! (Manual push as the trains there didn't have batteries haha) And was yakking away (audible at times nonsensical otherwise) as the trains went through the tunnel, pass the station, changed tracks.... 

When we got home, we had to build one in our room - he knew where his set of tracks and trains were kept!! (Hand me down from the other kor kors)

Papa built a small one... in case it was dismantled and mama can fix it for him! Haha so there he was...... Fiddling with it in the morning, afternoon and night....

Then the trains rolled off the tracks and went under the bed!!! He found it amusing and pushed the other in too!!! And these two trains were running on full batteries!!! Sigh.... I shone a torch under the bed to see how far they went.... Not reachable without moving the bed. Ok babe, no trains till papa gets home.... Consequences.... Hahaha..

He took the torch from me and did the same.... He kept saying "oh noooo... Trains".... "Mama get trains".... Hahahha 

* there's the green train, Percy..

Hooray when papa came home!! These two boys were laughing and cheering away as mama was taking her bath!! Papa even had to interrupt her to come on out to take a video of them playing cos "his expressions were so cute!!" Hahahahaha..... 

* mama built this big impressive track!! Hahaha the only thing was.. the trains would come to a dead end as the track ended abruptly... Hahahaha... 

Now I just can't wait till he can build the tracks himself!!!! It would be so much fun!!! :)

Our little fireman ❤️

Grandpa brought out a ladder to hang the clothes to dry... Excited little boy ran out after him with his little ladder (from his fire engine)!! Then ran into the house to get his mama to "look at ladder"!!!

He decided to climb it after a little urge... Midway up, he uttered "like fireman"... Hehee... And was really happy when he got to the top, looking around in a new perspective!!

Then he remembered.... He ran into the house and pointed excitedly at his fireman hat!! 

Put on his fireman hat and ran back to the ladder. And was beaming with pride while he was climbing it!!!!!

Our very own fireman!! Love!!! 

Quiet as a bunny

.... flipping a book on his own. 

And later in the day...

... working on an engaging activity - gears!! After showing him how it worked, boy spent many half hours the next 4 days just working on it!! 

First, he selects the design he wants...

Then he adds the magnetic stumps onto the 'holes'. I like it that the stumps actually click into place... So he knows he has them in the right places. 

 

The gears are added next!! He spins each gear after putting them on...

And voila!! Time to spin the gears and watch them move in synchronized motion!!!

The look of contentment at his finished product - priceless!!! :))
