Milestones of Nigel
He'll be turning 10mths very soon.. he is now crawling.. has 1 tooth, cruising a little, definitely pulling himself to standing very quickly and is also babbling.
He demonstrates he is happy to see you buy 'calling' you "A!". At times he'll go "jie jie jie jie" and we would wonder if he meant what he said. He is definitely very engaging and a charmer indeed.
This is the most recent picture I have of him.. together with his lovely, bubbly sister :D
Hyatt
HB won this free night's stay during last year's D&D. Realising that it's going to expire soon, we quickly went to book for it. We thought it'll be a good trial run to see how the kids adapt to a 'foreign' place. As expected, Valerie is ok but Nigel was quite clingy initially.
Shortly after we checked in (the suite was fantastic), the kiddos took a nap. At ard 4ish, Mag came with father, mother, HX & ZK to "visit" us. After they left we headed to the pool. All these years I've seen Hyatt from the outside, I've zero idea how the hotel is on the inside. I was pleasantly surprised that the premises is actually quite big and the pool is very pretty.
It was Nigel's 1st dip into the pool and he warmed up to it pretty quickly. He did not exhibit any fear when I put him through the float (holding him of course) and glide him around in the pool. He was enjoying himself quite a bit actually.
We didn't bring our camera, so these are what we've taken using my mobile.

Mothers' Day
This year is pretty special. As with most Fridays, HB and I will go have dinner with our friends on Friday. That Friday, when we came home, Valerie was still downstairs and when she saw me, she looked very delighted and ran into the house. Next thing she emerged and passed me this little flower she has made in school and wished me Happy Mothers' Day.
Coincidentally, I got her the angel wings which she has been asking for so it ended like a 'gift exchange' of some sort. She was leaping with joy and I was very touched that she actually stayed up to give me the flower. I think I must have been smiling cheek to cheek the whole nite :D

New job
Started at this new place in May. Colleagues & bosses are pretty nice and work is ok. H/E, I do miss my old colleagues so I'll chat with YS once a while to see how the rest are doing. It seemed that everyone is getting really bz at work.
I guess the best thing that came out of the change is definitely the hours. Most of the days I leave office 7pm or earlier so being able to spend more time with the kiddos is really a huge bonus by itself.

Interesting article on TODAY
Defiant or just irresponsible
The author wrote about the difference between the 2. If a child is playful and breaks things along the way, forgot to bring his/her books back or left the bicycle out in the rain, this is known as "childish irresponsibilty" and is inevitably during the early years. As this does not constitute as direct challenges to authority, they should be handled gently.
In comparison, if a child shouts at his/her parents to "shut up" or put up a battle against his/her parents, this is known as "wilful defiance". It shows the child's refusal to accept parental leadership. And when such confrontation occurs, the parent must stand firm as the child is challenging "Who is in charge here?"
Is it therefore important for the parent to show and have the courage to lead.
I think the above article is very meaningful. Many times I hear of friends complaining/lamenting how their child is 'climbing over their head'. Some says their child treat them like maids, demanding them to do this & that. I cannot comprehend why and how such a situation can happen. Now I think I know why, because they relenquish their parental leadership to their child.
I think it's neither right nor wise to do so as the child is young and immature. They need our guidance and our advice. If they do not even respect us from young, how can be possibly teach them the values and virtues that is so needed in the society?
