Touching his Nose with his Toes!

Cayden has been talking to Dad and Mum over video conferencing almost every other day. Mum taught him a new trick - using his toes touching his nose! I couldn't figured out the joy in this game/exercise. He did so but realised he wasn't able to do so with his right left and he concluded that it was because of the leg fractured when he first arrived. We really wondered if he really remembered how uncomfortable he was during his first month. It could possibly be he overheard the adults conversation too... The walls indeed have ears. :)

SuperStar in the Making

Cayden is preparing to participate in the different types of singing competition. Not only he tried practice public singing at the common place in front of our block, he made Grandpa bring him up onto the stone platform and Grandpa to listen to him at ground level. He has been practising chinese folks songs... the best part was he didn't allow anyone to sing along and needed everyone to listen and clap along.

He also did a chinese pop genre by Jolin Tsai and the song goes something like this, "I don't want a boyfriend. I need a real man!".

On certain occassions, Cayden prefers singing English nursery rhymes and he quite likes the Wendy song from Bob The Builder.

Doctor Cayden Koh

Cayden hasn't been very consistent in brushing his teeth and this is worrying everyone at home. Yet Connoisseur believes he has a BEAUTIFUL set of teeth albeit alittle yellow... In an effort to encourage him to brush teeth, we adopted the "threatening method" that if he fails to keep proper dental hygience, he runs the risks of losing all his teeth to the dentist. This method seems effective.. We coupled the threatening method with "fun" by introducing him those dental equipment and he seems to be receptive of the toys. :)
We figured out maybe Connoisseur prefers to be a doctor because Cayden remembers the two doctors he has visited lately and they are Pediatrician Dr. Simon Ng and General Practitioner Doctor Chia (@ Clementi). He helped us with bandage, fed us with medicine, heard out breathing through stesthescope and operated on the soft toys too! He did everything quite professionally intially with all the gears on him.

But Cayden loves ice cream... he wants to be an Ice Cream Man!
