OutSmarted by a 2 year old !!

Nigel loves Kiddy Rides at shopping malls but best of all, he love the Mentos machine! You put in a $1 coin and try your luck to see how many Mentos you will get. Nigel just love to see the Mentos being scooped up but he doesn't eat the Mentos at all. I always allow one Kiddy ride for Nigel per time, when he is really good, I will let him try the Mentos machine. He always accept my excuse, " Mummy has no coins" as a reason for not letting him play with the Mentos machine. But today ... I got outsmarted! He wanted to try the Mentos machine so I gave the same excuse. So later on, he wanted to ride the Mickey mouse Kiddy ride. I took out the $1 coin and immediately he said " Don't want car!". He got off the car, ran to the Mentos machine and ask for the coin !! And I can't tell him I have no coins !! ARGH !!!!!!

Goats' milk

Before Nigel was born, Shawn & Moi have decided on Goats' milk. Why?? For many reasons, it's proteins is closer to humans therefore easier to absorb, less digestion problems. Less artificial ingredients, nowadays cows' milk has lots of weird stuff added in to supposedly boast immunity & brain power which I don't really believe in. Made in New Zealand not China! I need not elaborate on that. Plus Nigel does not take well to cows' milk.
But cost wise is a lot higher. $25 for 400g, for stage 1 & 2.. But thanks to my buddy, Meiying, she found a shop at Rivervale plaza which sells one tin @ $20! We fed him stage 1 till he's 1 years old as per advice by Dr Teoh. Then stage 2 till 18 mths. Now he's on stage 3 luckily stage 3 is available in bigger tins $48 outside, at Plaza is @ $38.
Benefits of feeding him goats' milk is pretty obvious. He is very healthy, seldom fall sick. He recovers from cuts & bruises faster. His body's density is lot higher.

22 Months

Lil Nigel is now 22 months old. In just another 2 months and he will be 2 years old !! Day by Day, you can see how much he has learnt and understand. His growth is really rapid right now! Everyday, he seem to learn a new word. But whether he wants to say it out, well.. it depends on his mood.


Nigel's inclination seems to be more towards music and sounds. He can listen to tunes around 2 times and he can hum the tune out. He listens to noises and sounds around him and will try to imitate the sound on his own, like bells, horns and car engines. Thus he prefers singing to talking. He is pretty animated. He will sing or hum the tune with actions and expressions. He can sing ABC song pretty clearly. He love "wheels on the bus", "twinkle twinkle lil star". He is learning "heads & shoulders". But he doesn't wan to sing to just anyone. So only immediate family can hear him singing. Haiz. He is still shy but he has improve a lot. Shawn and I can finally have meals outside, just the 3 of us without much fuss. He can even sit on normal chairs and will not attempt to go off on his own (some places do not have Baby chairs). He is fine with adults but still doesn't want to play with just anyone, only a selected few. But it's still No No No to Kids and Babies. Sad thing is, He still calls me "A" ... Sobs.


He is going to Gymnademics now. They are having a promotion @ $388 for unlimited lessons in March. Just right, I will be having my 1 week March holidays. So far he has attended 2 lessons. It is not as good as what I had expected but it is something different for him. There is pitching tuning, at least I can learn how to teach him music. There is Gym lessons, he is learning monkey bars, beam walking, etc. Also of cos is Flash cards. I am glad he still remembers his flash cards. I guess he love the classes as he comes home and was trying to roll around the house! And humming to " Heads & Shoulders".

Lil Nigel is 20 Months Old !

Nigel is 20 mths on 08.1.2011. He is starting to babble a lot. Sometimes you can catch some words. He does answer back when you ask him questions sometimes. But you can't make him talk unless he wants to. He refer to me as "Aaaa" cos I always use that expression, my Dad as "hump" which I have no idea why, my youngest sister is lucky enough to be called "YiYi", Shawn as "PaPa", my mum as "Ah Ma". He prefers to sing than talk. He is very good at imitating sounds especially of car engine !!
We celebrated his 20 months at airport on 09.1.2011. There is finally a viewing gallery at T1 !!

Nigel is Finally Sick and a very tired mummy..

Most of us were down with flu. Nigel was a little sick since last thrusday but wasn't anything to worry. Just running nose and phlegm. Given his track record, we all took it for granted that Nigel will recover without any big issue. But just in case, we bought him in to Dr Teoh to get some medicine for him. The clever lil boy as usual recognise the place the moment I stand into the lift. He was ok but pulled a long face. All hell broke loose when he see the Dr. I had to turn him to face the window. The Dr. was trying to slowly creep up behind him to listen to his lungs but Nigel knew something was wrong and turn behind and cried when he see the Dr. Dr Teoh couldn't help luffing. He commented that Nigel is a very smart boy. Back to topic. Nigel was down with slight fever yesterday, 37 Degree Celsius. In the evening, Nicole sms me and told me Nigel down with high fever, 38 Degree Celsius. Luckily Dr Teoh always made me keep stocks of medicine. I had a really rough night yesterday with Nigel. Poor boy was in pain. He kept crying. In the end, I held him and cried too.. Heart pain. Sobs. The fever went up and down today. But he's playing and smiling but tired. I had to leave him at my mum's overnight as tomolo I have shop meeting at 9am.. working till 1130pm most likely with the Darn IPhone4. Thrusday, start work at 1030 till late again cos of shop outing.. Going to Diez soonz... I wan to quit !! I mean my job...

But one good thing happen today, Nigel maybe cos of his fever.. started to say out the different colours when playing with my IPhone4.

Nigel and His iPhone

I have gotten an iPhone few months back in March. Not for myself to use but for Lil Nigel actually. There is lots of Apps available for Him to use. I downloaded 3 pages of Apps just for him ! Lots of free ones and Paid ones. My fave and his have is Kids Machine and Baby Piano. After 2 months of using it, Lil Nigel has figured out how to use it all by himself ! He knows how to unlock the phone, go the correct page and choose the App he wants to play !! After he's tired of it, he will just exit and choose a new one !! And of cos throwing the phone away after playing ! Luckily I have gotten an anti-shock protector for his iPhone...
