A Day Out With Dylan

On 21 May 2010, my wait to go on a school excursion with Dylan (or Caleb for that matter) finally ended. (Mum had been hogging all the school outings, but since she's 38 weeks pregnant and due anytime, I got to go!)

I got to spend the morning with Dylan and his 2 buddies Arryan and David at the Jurong Bird Park. Arryan (who is half Rwandan and half American) is really spunky and has an appetite to match Dylan's. David is a sweetie that spent most of the time on the bus trip sharing his food with his 2 buddies. I wonder whether they actually snatch David's food during a normal school day.

• I thought the Bird Park had changed quite a bit such my last visit... Actually it probably changed so much that I can't seem to recall visiting an outdoor tourist spot in Singapore with so much a/c spaces.

The kids had quite a lot of fun, getting to pet a cockatoo and standing on an ostrich egg...

That's Dylan with a Macaw's tail feather.

Let's get it started ... restarted

Its been almost a year since the last entry and during this time, quite a lot has taken place. Dylan's started school at Faith Montessori. Its more a daycare but he only goes for the morning activities. Apparently he's the darling of the teachers and the Chef Aunty. He asks for seconds, thirds and fourths until the teachers actually tell him that he's not allowed to eat anymore. After meals, his tummy resembles a bloated puffer fish

Caleb's now in K1 and having a good time. He's one half of a blossoming romance, with the most sought-after girl in this class making up the other half. Over milo and a muffin, he agreed that there were other girls in class who like him but he only likes M. These events were corroborated by his teachers when we met them at PTM.

Andrea thinks she will deliver any moment now. She's been looking good. Apart from the gait, you can't quite tell she is pregnant - that is when you see her back view. Things are quite different from the front, the bump has just been growing. We are glad that Baby E has been growing well inside Andrea.
