Happy Birthday, Babylet!

Babylet turned 3 on Aug 11.

She had her heart set on a party in Jungle Gym, just like korkor. But with the A(H1N1) flu pandemic, we thought better not risk it.

So, we just had a family celebration in Ming Room, Bangsar Shopping Centre. Babylet was dressed in her Cinderella dress that SIL got for her. And she was hilarious in it. As her dress was almost reaching the floor, Babylet was very concious and walked very slowly like a real princess. She even condescended to give a Princess wave to some passerbys.

Babylet tried hard, but only managed to blow out one candle. Jiejie blew the rest before Boylet had a chance.

Another present from SIL, a baby Cinderella doll. Babylet was thrilled that her doll was wearing the same dress as hers. Happy Birthday Darling!

Happy Birthday, Boylet!

We celebrated Boylet's 5th Birthday two weeks ago. The party was held at Jungle Gym in Bangsar Shopping Complex. We like the place as there is a variety of things for the kids to play with. Babylet loves the trampoline, Boylet loves the ballpit and slide, while Girlet loves the roller blading rink (have to pay separately but at a discounted price). The service is pretty good too.

Unfortunately, there weren't many photos as d'hubby didn't use the right batteries for his fancy new camera. Duh!!

Boylet had to have his Ben 10 cake. In fact I learned from other moms during the party that he told all his friends to give him Ben 10 toys. So embarassing, he's not shy at all.

I didn't bake the cake, obviously. Bought it from Pretty Frosting.

After Boylet cut the cake, each kid grabbed an alien cupcake. So convenient!

The kids worked up a good appetite after an hour playing. I was too lazy to make bento this time.

Babylet enjoying the slide.

The Magic Show was amazing and kept the kids well entertained.

We held Girlet's birthday party at the same place in Feb. Now Babylet is under the misconception that she's having her birthday party there as well in August. She has decided on the cake - Mickey Mouse. And she'll dress in Cinderella costume because in her own words "I'm a princess, you know". We don't have this particular costume by the way, which means she's expecting a new dress. Whenever Boylet irritates her, she threatens not to invite him to her party.

Well, I'm really tired of organizing parties now. But don't want Babylet to feel deprived especially as Girlet has had a party annually. Hmm, what should I do?

Lastly, this video clip shows just how much Babylet loves the trampoline.

Babylet's Activities

Here are some activities that Babylet and I do at home.

Painting with Magic Painting book. Just apply water and the colour appears.
Do not disturb - Artist hard at work. Babylet in intense concentration.

Practising fine motor skill with scissors and punchers, colouring, and pasting work.

Here, I put bento tools to good use. *_* Helped Babylet as she was not strong enough to press the puncher. But she cut out the grass herself with a scissor, and paste all the cutouts onto the picture. Also insisted to colour the girl's hair green. Hmm.... she'd better not dye her hair green when she's older.
Babylet with her weapon of choice - glue stick.

Creative play with Sand.

Couldn't resist adding Boylet's pic too. He's so skinny now compared to the two girls that you can count his rib bones.

Hand-me-downs

Periodically, I would look through Girlet's and Boylets outgrown clothings to either give away or let Babylet use. I found this pair of beaded slippers that Girlet used to wear.


Babylet tried on the slippers, and I told her, "wah, your new shoes are so pretty". Babylet was very proud and walked around the house with it, beaming away, like this.

Then came Girlet, who took a look at the slippers and said "Those are my old shoes". Immediately, Babylet's expression changed to this.

She took off the slippers and said "I want MeiMei's new shoes". Oopsie! Kids can be so vain even at the age of 27 months. By the way, I took the angry expression pic after the incident just for this post, and vain Babylet is ever ready to pose for the camera. She can turn on her glaring look very well, huh?

Distressing - Babylet's bald patch

Babylet had a high fever recently which lasted a few days. After her fever broke, I found this...........A bald patch right on top of her head!!! It is just completely smooth and hairless. There isn't any red marks, scratches or anything. And I didn't see any clumps of hair dropping off. To say that I'm UPSET is an understatement. Of course that warranted another trip to the paediatrition. Apparently it was her immune system that mistakenly attacked her hair follicles thinking of them as foreign particles. And it may take some time before her hair grows back. Aargh!!!

After the fever, babylet came down with flu and cough to the point of losing her voice. And she passed her germs to the rest of us. Now, her voice is still husky and her appetite is next to nothing. Poor girl. Losing hair, losing voice, losing appetite and losing weight..... It's been a tough two weeks for her.
