Our Little Helper

The Tatapilla has been wanting to eat chocolate/iced block early in the morning. In fairness, he had his breakfast then. So Daddy made a deal that he can have iced block after helping hanging up the washing, which The Tatapilla readily obliged. He actually had fun doing it especially as a bench was put for him to step on and be able to reach the pegs. This is one of my favourite photos of him. Something that I can use for baby thank you cards...

Go Wild

I'm having 12 days off in total this coming holidays. The Tatapilla will also stay home with me - bonding time for the family. Although, The Tatapilla is very easy to amuse and please, planning ahead will not hurt I reckon. My colleague found a sale for the Go Wild entry pass with almost 70% off. Not much but it is good value for money. I read one review about the place and it was positive - a cleaning roaming around and I'm sure some medical cart stashed away. The question now is if we're going there on my holiday or make it a play date...

Cheerful

I went to the shops yesterday without The Tatapilla. I was lucky he agreed to stay home. I wondered around for almost 2 hours and bought almost all the stuff that I really want. The santa workshop is already setup at the shops and I think, it would be something that The Tatapilla can be excited about. Forget about htc desire reviews, I'm sure he will and I planned on taking him there next weekend if we have time. *****It's All About What's...

Birthday gifts

One night, The Tatapilla and I were talking about birthday gifts, his birthday gifts since his first. I enumerated them - trike, big car and bike. I asked him what does he wants for his next birthday. He said, dolphins so he can put them in his pockets and show them to his friends and say, surprise! I just had to smile. I think, it's about time we go to Seaworld or somewhere dolphins are frequenting. No ipods, just live dolphins. Maybe, I'll just look for a stuffed dolphin sometimes. *****It's All About What's In Down Under | Permanence...

Whopping 2000

Piggy banks have been used for centuries to save money, and more recently, to teach children the merits of saving portions of their allowances.The often-cute devices are typically made of clay or porcelain and rarely, if ever, incite controversy – but, of course, that may be because they are typically made of clay or porcelain.Thecheeky.com’s piggy bank is made of a real piglet, but fear not, pleads the site: The animals were turned into piggy banks...

Snippets of Conversation

with The Tatapilla. I can't remember what series is this anymore. There are just so many. Me: You need to have your nanna nap. The Tatapilla: No. I'm gonna get a new mummy. The Tatapilla: The aboriginal people say, Owana. The kids say, good day mate. He was upset one night and he said, I'm gonna tell your Mum you're being naughty. :) While telling him stories about my childhood, I mentioned about me and my friends went for a swim at the river. He cried and told me, you're not my friend. He's very sensitive when it comes to friends...

Straight out of a mouth of a babe

The Tatapilla was upset with me around noon when I wanted him to take his nanna nap. You see, when he is at home he is dreading sleep. He likes to play all day if he can but I want to have some peace and quiet so I have to really "force" him to lie down at noon. Today he said "I'm not gonna marry you". That's something that I have no answer at all. Left me speechless and I was also worried that whatever I'll say to him will backfire at me. I'm sure he doesn't know what he was talking yet I am also puzzled where possibly he could have heard...
