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. :)
