Lucy-Lou is missing
At 8:30 this morning, I received a call from our home phone. My first thought was, I hope this is not the Tatapilla as he will be late for school. Yet, it was him.
Mum, did you see Lucy this morning?
Yes, she did her usual tricks. Knocked/scratched on the door when I was moving around in the bedroom and then greeted me when I opened the door. Ran past me to the kitchen where she plopped to be scratched. Did the same thing when I was watching the news and drinking coffee.
We can't find her.
She can't be outside unless your...

Brave Little Boy
We have friends over last weekend. The Tatapilla has two playmates all morning. They were very busy making paper aeroplanes. At first, they were just playing inside the house, in the lounge, dining and in the hall way. There’s enough room for the planes to soar. The adults are all outside yarning about. Towards the middle of the day, we drifted to the driveway as our friend was loading her car with stuff. And so the boys decided to play outside as well. We kept on reminding them not to be too close to the road. We are in a bit of a busy...

Why the Frown?
He recently received a small tablet - one that came with our new internet and home phone package with the new provider. I have mixed feelings about it. It can be used for educational purposes but at the same time, he can download games and watch videos whenever he wants to, which can be excessive.
I downloaded an e-reader for him though so he can include reading in his use of the tablet. He's now at the stage of...

First Day Excitement
My little Tatapilla is not little anymore, not just in size
(and it’s another story). He’s now in
year 3. How time flies.
The night before, we tried to get him to bed early. I was hoping for 8PM but apparently that was
too ambitious. It was around 9 or
10. I can’t even remember now. I was hoping for an early night for myself as
I was quite shattered too.
I was constantly checking up on him if he was asleep and on
a few times, he was up. I was told that
he was very excited for the next...

His Adventure for 2015
The much awaited adventure trip fooor 2015 has commenced. We have put-off holidays for 2015 and saving my annual leave and his absences to this trip. It's going excellent so far. A bit of hiccups along the way, but not too big. We're having a ball albeit a bit tired. &nb...

Homework
The Tatapilla seldom needs help to do his homework. It's more a guidance on where to writer stuff rather than what to. If left up to him, he will write the answers to all the questions in one long big sentence.
At school, I was told that they have a reward system that if the homework is returned on or before it was due, they get points. At the end of the week, these points are being tallied-up so the student can get something from the surprise box. The surprise box contains small toys and school supplies like rubbers, pencils or fancy sharpener....

Star Wars
With the coming new Star War movie, one of the free to air telly channels have been showing the star war series. The Tatapilla is quite taken with Anakin. On the third episode, he came to me with watery red eyes. "Anakin died". Then proceeded sniffling and eventually crying. I consoled him. "He's my favourite". Oh dear, more crying. He went back to watch the telly again and found out that Ani didn't died but Padme Amidalla died instead. "I don't likee Ani anymore". Why, I asked. "Because...
Mable
Our vet moved clinic so we went to this new one. We were there to get Moe's scheduled vaccine. They have cats - around four. There are gingers and of course the grey. Of them all, the grey was the most playful. The three gingers were siblings we were told. The grey was always reaching out for us while standing. Mcj is a sucker for girl cats - must be wanting a little girl. Lol. We applied for...
Australia Zoo Visit
In the Tatapilla's first year, their field trip to excursion if you may call it that was at Australia Zoo. I went with them, not in the bus but I drove. Funny that he didn't want to go with me. Obviously, the bus is more fun than driving with me. He had fun. Me not so much. Unfortunately, I was not prepared with a lot of walking and the warm weather. Lesson well learned.The Christmas Present MistyIt wasn't planned. As our routine when we are at the shops, we would drop by the pet shop to look at the animals...

My Cool Dude
A trip to the library has always side trips to see things or to the playground. There are always lots of things to see around The Hub. This reminds me that it has been a while since we went there. Maybe so...

Weekend Fun
On the last weekend of the school holiday, we went to the beach so he can have a quick swim. He made some friends and he felt like he was a part of the family of the kids that he be-friended. It was fun...
