Cayden Misses Her....

Hi all, I am finally BACK IN ACTION! Been quite busy in the month of September! Anyways, Cayden returned back to Dubai last week... Somehow a part of Uncle Sam and me seems lost now that we really have nothing to do over the weekends. This mini-separate with Cayden would probably be useful and hopefully, he grows to be a sweeter boy when he returns. Seeing how he grows attached to the things and people around him has been encouraging though.

Uncle Sam's Birthday @ Sentosa

Aunty Linda is freaking busy lately hence the missing in action! Earlier this month, we celebrated Uncle Sam’s birthday. It was over simple buffet dinner at One Degree 15 at Sentosa. The dinner was abit of a disappointment as the variety of food was not exactly pleasing. Anyway, we checked out the club compound before heading towards the restaurant for dinner. Cayden enjoyed his mini-roe maki and pickles. He had abit of the bbq pork as well as the cold crabs. Basically he ate abit of everything from the appetizers to the main courses (fried prawn ball, grilled fishes, chicken, vegetables) to the desserts (durian puree, nonya kuehs and coconut pudding!).

(oops the Aunty Linda w/o make up!)

(YUMMY???)

We headed home with a super filling stomach and couldn’t do the traditional birthday cake cutting at the sentosa. Cayden and Uncle Sam had a bit of fun acting silly while posing in front of the camera before cutting the cake.

(Standing still & pouting lips!)

Finally thy moment arrived! It’s the birthday celebration with everyone singing Uncle Sam the song. The ever helpful Cayden helped blow the candles of course... :)

Dentist-Uncle-Sam

Cayden visited a dentist some weeks back but it was quite a wasted trip. He refused to open his mouth wide and long enough for polishing and cleaning. The Pedia-Dentist (?? ha! new name) only mentioned that Cayden needs to get his teeth cleaned regularly or the milk stains remain. Since then, the entire family had been working hard to clean Cayden’s teeth using different methods and one of the most successful one is cleaning his teeth with his face towel. Dentist Uncle Sam had been pretty successful (at least two successful attempted recorded in video) in getting Cayden lying down and cleaned his teeth.

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!
