A little grown up

With grandma still in the process of recovery, we asked our 2nd sis-in-law for help to look after Matthew for the afternoon while I went for my exam.

I thought that it would be quite a disaster but it turned out to be fairly decent.

Matthew was a tyrant. He refused to nap, demanded for biscuits, fruits and my sis-in-law's chicken rice. Refused to eat his own porridge.

Thankfully he only started to cry non stop only at 6plus.

I reached home to a sticky boy who I could not let go for almost 20 minutes.

When he was assured that I was finally home and would not leave him, he started to enjoy himself and played with his 3 cousins.

Even pushed 2 of them around the house on his toy cars.

When it was time for them to leave, Matthew was a gentleman and a great host.

He walked them out of the house, took the lift with them and we parted at the lift lobby.

I thought he would follow his cousins but he just stood at the lift lobby while they left. When I urged him to enter the lift, he did so willingly without any fuss.

Self Feeding

Matthew can totally feed himself.

Unlike other food, every mouthful of yoghurt went into his mouth.

Clementi Baby Show 2009- 1st runnerup

I had wanted to let Matthew know how cute he is when he is a bit older.

So I enrolled him for Baby Show in Clementi with the hope of getting a trophy.

Our scheduled time was 9.50am and we went there on time, only to realise that the doctor was late due to an emergency case. Matthew was B12 but the queue was only at B5.

I wanted to bring Matthew to the playground nearby as there were no other programmes in the CC for us except movie screening. But after dillydally, Matthew fell asleep on the way to the playground. Hence I brought him back to mum's place to zzz while I switched on the TV to enjoy my rare treat of watching TV drama.

I was getting a bit lazy and enjoying my drama that I toyed with the idea of skipping the baby show since Matthew was asleep anyway. However, Matthew woke up at 11.30am so we decided to bring him back. They called me just before I stepped into the CC and we were seen shortly by the doctor after that.

Doctor asked about the words he could say(he said apple and ah ma), asked him to walk to grandma and lastly asked him to highfive, which he obliged. Doc also commented that his hair was cute. That was it and Matthew got 2nd prize.

The gift basket was decent and I did not expect much out of the prize. I was aiming for the trophy anyway. Received a surprise when I went home and saw a stack of NTUC vouchers. $130 to be exact and $20 pizza voucher. Quite happy that Matthew earned some money at such a young age and could give us a treat using those vouchers. I gave those vouchers to my mum to buy household stuff. The following week, we happily spent the pizza voucher too.

My little Winner

Doctor's Report

Phew, Matthew was almost warded.

He was still having fever for UTI after 6 weeks of antibiotics.

Had to undergo blood test, urine test and ultrasound.

His blood test and urine test results were borderline.

The ultrasound showed that the kidneys were normal but there was a mild thickening along the urinary tract.

He would need to repeat the tests again on 15 Dec.

2 days later, Doctor called to say his urine culture showed that Ecoli was still present in his urine.

Therefore they changed the medicine to trimethodprin

Altantis Playgym-here we come

The entire place was ours. A small setup but considering that it is near my place and within walking distance, it is great.
