Cayden Koh

Cayden never naps or sleeps without his buddies - Mr. Teddy (2 of them) and Mr. Caterpillar!

Botak Cayden

Yes - Cayden is finally botak!

Connoisseur was really cool about it. Instead it was the people around him who got really nervous and excited. Connoisseur was more interested to catch up on his nap rather than getting his hair shaved... hence he was actually more cranky than cool.

The entire family couldn't bear to see Cayden without his hair and started taking pictures with him before his hair is gone....

Cayden behaved really well and he cried only because the barber uncle held his head for too long. Initially the barber wanted to wrap a "Good Morning" towel around Cayden but it looked more like wrapping him up after shower. Daddy and Mummy decided that Cayden shaves his head without any towel around him.

The entire shaving ceremony took less than 4 minutes. Cayden sat on Daddy's lap while Mummy tries to distract Cayden from the boredom of sitting down and not being able to move freely. In just matter of minutes, the barber was richer by $5 and my dear Cayden became botak...

He is still as cute! He is not upset but alittle tired and cranky...

Aunty Linda sang him a song hoping to calm him down.

*Twinkle Twinkle Little Star... How I wonder what you are...*

After a few moments, he is soundly asleep with his buddy. :)

Preparing for THY SHAVE!

It has been decided that Cayden will shave his head this Sunday (17 Jun 2007)! In preparation of this big day, we have to get him a hat to keep him warm in case he goes shopping with Dad & Mum. As usual, the very nice Aunty Linda braved through the GSS crowd to get him what he needed.

Just on 15 Jun alone, the following investments were made:

• 2 Nursery Rhymes Books - $15.00 in total





• 1 set of Baby Jumper - $9.90



• 3 Hats in a Set - Supposingly $9.90 but it didn't cost me a single cent.
  

The cashier probably didn't notice the tiny hats or he assumed the hats come together with the baby jumper. It was a steal....! God punished me for being dishonest. He sent Unattentive Mum who requested that I handwash the hats before bringing it back to Clementi.

I have been researching and compiling the nursery rhymes over the past 1 week. Some songs are so close to our hearts and brought fond memories back. I was telling my sisters that it is so funny to realise that we have not sang the right version of some of the world famous nursery rhymes for the past 25 years at least! How many of you know the total verses in "London Bridge is Falling Down"? I was surprised to know that London Bridge was once made of Wood and Clay!

The idea of buying him the books about nursery rhyme came about because Cayden loves to listen to me singing those songs! Just last Sunday, I almost turned our dear "Old MacDonald's Farm" into a zoo. In my version, Old MacDonald's Farm had dogs, pigs, cats, horses, zebras, giraffes, cow, sheeps, birds, crocodiles, elephants etc... Old MacDonald should end up as a safari instead of a farm. But Cayden wouldn't let me stop singing. He smiled whenever he hears a new animal name and the sounds I made! Who has the heart to wreck his happy mood?

I am now researching for those chinese nursery rhymes - readers, pls contribute if you know where I could get these info off the net. :)

Trying Pacifier for the 1st Time!

Cayden has been practicising his tongue muscle lately. He has been trying to suck his thumb but was unable to aim properly. On some days, he attempted to suck his arm. Our hearts broke when we saw how desperate Cayden was and finally a decision was made - GIVE HIM A PACIFIER.

We suspected the first pacifier we gave him was a little too small and it keeps dropping off his mouth. Mummy had to coax him into opening his mouth and adapting to the feel of pacifier in his mouth.

We decided that we should give him a new pacifier and eventually bought the NUK brand pacifier which he used only at times but not through out of the day. :) It looks like he is fine with his latest gadget.
