Educational stuff again

yest morn at our own house, i played the DVD Karaoke of the children songs for Jaden to watch.. he quite like it, i assume.. coz he was kiao ka-ing, n watching the TV quietly... haha...

Today, went to JP with mil & Jaden.. went walk walk, so saw VCD fair.. held by my ex-working place Arts Laser... went to take a look at the cartoons, n see if there is anything i can buy for Jaden..

I saw these VCDs/DVDs... so in the end, bought 1 poem VCD, 1 story telling VCD, n 1 DVD set of shi wan ge wei shen me... not the same version of the professor one.. i hope to let Jaden watch.. he may not understand wat it is all about, but can still show him to let him listen to the language n the cartoons moving about... can help stimulate his brain bah.. hehe

We dun let him watch TV everyday.. it's like once in a few weeks kind.. coz dun want him to get hooked on watching TV.. so even though i bought quite a number of cartoons, but he only watched once loh.. will let him watch more when he grows slightly older..

sometimes when he was playing in inlaw's room, my fil will tune the TV to cartoon channel n let him watch.. Jaden will watch a while, n then looked away n preferred his toys.... haha.. there was also 1 or 2 times when we let him watch cartoon, he will laugh one loh.. haha, dun even koe if he really understand or not leh...

trust me, even though babies dun understand what u r talking about, or what he is watching.. but listening is very impt... in order to grab a language, he must have enough space n chance to listen n get in contact with it, b4 he can have a better grasp of the language.. tats y i ALWAYS speak to him in Mandarin.. mayb due to my occupation bah ehehhe...

I hope he can get hold of a language at a time... But for sure, he will learn Chinese first as we all talk to him in Chinese....

Spending 3hours+ at IMM

yest evening met up with Xiaolin at Pioneer Mall for frappe n cheesecake, had a short chat b4 going back to in laws' house to fetch Jaden..

Looked after Jaden the whole night on my own, as hubby slept in the other room.. woke up at ard 8.30am..

set off to IMM at 10+.. went to fetch mil 1st, then go.. meeting Wenxian n Xiaolin there as they drove on their own..

Liked to go IMM, coz of the 1st 3 hour free carpark fees.. haha.. *giam siap*.. n also i love to go Kids Mall to take a look, even though sometimes didn't buy anything from there.. But I love to go, as i get to see wat other Farlin products i can buy from there...

We spent more than 3hours in the end.. walked here n there.. Jaden fell asleep when we were on the way to IMM, he slept a while, n when we were abt to finish our breakfast, he woke up..

He was in a rather good mood today.. wanted Xiaolin to carry him, n made Xiaolin so happy.. haha..

after buying stuff at Giant, we went our separate ways.. as i can see tat mil was tired.. she went to see doc yest night for her bad cough.. i was carrying Jaden in the sling n he had already fallen asleep b4 we left IMM..

Passed Jaden to mil, as i need to drive.. Jaden was sleeping soundly, all the way back to in laws' house.. He was exhausted after being so excited for tat time at IMM.. hehe.. a pity hubby needs to work on Sundays, otherwise our outings can b more frequent liao...

Playful & Naughty Jaden

this little prince of ours is approaching his 8th month next week... wow..

while he's getting older n bigger of course, he is getting more spoilt, playful n naughty.. sometimes really dunno how to handle him... hmmm

when he is happy, he can scream n make loud pitch sounds, tat made us so paiseh haha.. he can also give u such cheeky smile when u r smiling n talking to him happily... but when he is unhappy, tats it...

put him on baby chair when we go out.. but not all the time lah.. this little baby is so playful, cannot sit still.. just now morn, he accidentally hit the side of the baby chair, n cried a while.. serves him right... hehe...

i told hubby, he is really spoilt.. n i think he shld b taught when he is slightly older... or mayb it's all boys' nature to b playful n naughty at this age?? i dunno but i will continue to observe, to see if any further intervention is needed.. i see all sorts of kids out there, n some kids really get on ppl's nerves.. i dun wish Jaden to b 1 of them, so i gotta b prudent..

no 1 is not playful.. i didn't say Jaden cannot play or what.. but we wana instill him a kind of habit tat if we say stop, he really has to stop.. cannot make us repeat the same thing to him so many times... when he is more sensible, we gotta start teaching him all these..

He better learn to b behaving... or else, i will ground him n disallow him to go out shopping.. haha...

My Sunday

As usual, my Sunday is always w/o hubby.. so Jaden slept at in laws' house on Sat night.. yest morn went over...

Noon time, when hubby called during his lunch break, Jaden was sitting on my lap.. i put the phone to his ears, asked hubby to talk to him, n guessed what?? when he heard his dad's voice, he mouthed out 'pa'... hubby heard it over the phone, n was happy!! haha...

this naughty baby of ours is getting spoilt... a bit only will ee ee aa aa... very naughty now.. discussed with hubby abt his behaviour.. hubby said he is still young now, when he grows older must teach him.. or else, next time the ones who suffer will b us...

evening, fil decided not to go out eat.. so he went downstairs to da bao.. Jaden was making noise again.. so i put him in his pram, pushed him out for a stroll... n let my pils have some peace... i pushed him all the way to my mum's place, asked my mum to come down for a chat.. mum was happy to see Jaden.. luckily let her carry.. but not for long as usual...

mum acc us walk all the way back to 817.. as i need to get my wallet n go da bao for hubby... so after putting Jaden back to my in laws' house, we walked to gek poh n buy food.. after which, walked back home ourselves...

a weekend just passed like this... no choice, who asked hubby's shift starts on a Sunday.....

Trying on baby chair

this little prince of ours is not so stable in sitting up on his own.. tried letting him sit on the sofa, but he will 'move' to the side.. not v strong yet..

he should b able to do that by now i think.. but mayb every baby's progress is different bah.. or isit i'm too protective??

He learnt how to flip a few days b4 he turned 4months old.. though now still dunno how to crwal, but he already know how to turn in circles.. if he wana reach for something, he will turn a few rounds, n try to reach for it..

Yest morn brought him to IMM for breakfast, decided to let him try to sit on baby chair.. still ok, but i'm so worried he might hit himself against the tray which was in front of him.. Evening at West Mall also let him sit... not all baby chairs are comfortable loh i can say..

Jaden wants to try the food we r eating now.. so sometimes we will feed him with beancurd or bread.. not other food as his stomach might not b ready for it.. only gave him things tat is soft n not salty.. so far he enjoyed it.. whenever i fed him, n asked if he liked it, he will smile n give me the cheeky look.. haha...

I dunno when he can sit up on his own... i hope he can do it independently n successfully..

Jaden's 1st experience on MRT

Jaden has tried going out by taking bus, cab, n mostly on my car.. but today was his 1st time on MRT...

He was rather curious, but didn't cry or what.. just busy looking around.. esp when MIL carried him, board the MRT n sat down, while hubby n I stood..

It's been quite some time ever since i took MRT.. still can't get used to standing n squeezing throughout the whole journey..

Jaden was a bit stunned, as in y so many in the cabin.. must b wondering where he is at this very moment.. but still, rather excited.. haha..

I koe there might b not much chance for him to take MRT.. but to me, it's a good experience for him lah.. though right now, he dun even koe wat r all these... n i also think to myself, when will b the next time tat we will board an MRT n go outdoor.. hmmm..
