Sickies...

Joel has been very sick since Tues. As the doc says that it is a viral infection, no antibioctics was given. his fever went all the way up to 40C! and he was struggling with meals and sleep. he even puke badly on Tues.

He still insists on going to the daycare. he doesn't want to be at home. but funny how he is fine the whole afternoon and when night comes, it gets sooo bad

Jovan fell sick as well on Thurs. but his max temp was 38C. he recovered within a day

It has been more than 3 days and Joel is still sick. i just administered neurofen this morning and kept sponging him all the time. then i blame myself for not b/feeding him longer. there is just so much difference between both boys. So, it is my fault that Joel does not recover that fast cause his body is just way weaker.. sigh.. my 3rd baby (if ever) will be breastfed for the longest time.. and yes, Jovan is still nursing till today.. that's how extreme both boys are..

Get well soon Joel.. mommy misses your chirpy smile and voice..

Small little conversations

for those that follow this blog, they will know the track record of how slow Joel can be with milestones. and how sticky and difficult he had been as a little baby. even till today, he has developed a much more gentle and sensitive personality compared to the younger brother but he still have issues with letting go of attachment items like dummy and pillows and still very reluctant to be potty trained. i don't blame him, i blame myself for not being stern enough or put in more effort to help him be better. i am working on it..:)
Lately, i have been trying to talk him out of the dummy. i told him dummy is not nice, it is bad, etc.. then yesterday he told me " Dummy is not nice, it is good".. sigh..
Joel also has alot of favorite things, like jelly, soft drinks, fries..(yes, all the junkies). he loves eating meat.. no rice and no vegies for this boy..
and his all time favorite show- WIPEOUT!. he calls it the fall down show cause everyone in the show always tend to fall down. today we were suppose to go out dinner and his all time favorite show is on. he kept insisting that we kept the tv on even when we were about to go out.. i guess his thinking is, if the tv is on, the show will continue to be on.. not much of a brainer, this son of mine.. but he is hilarious and for sure, he cares for everyone dear to him. he knows how to put things aside for joy joy even though he hasn;t seen her.. he holds didi hand when didi is trying to walk.. he brushes my hair and rubs his smelly face against mine.. and best thing, he plants big generous kisses on my face.. i am having some pimples erupting now cause of this but what are pimples when i get such great loving..;)
his innocence cracks us up. and he just makes me so proud even when he does so little. that's my eldest son!

Hot Weekend

We finally got a nice hot weekend. after months of cold winter, the heat is finally here.

i finally got a good rest from crazy work. it is still hectic, not a day passes by without me jumping on my feet, feeling like a mad woman trying to solve all the rising issues.. but i am glad we have a nice weekend. i am still working but i think i am getting the hang of it

Friday after work, we head to westfield for shopping and also dinner. went to toys r us and again we went on a diaper shopping spree as there is a promotion going on. went berserk on the huggies wipes as well. i just find that it is useless buying any other baby wipes brand as i just use more for the cheaper ones. Huggies ones are thick and gentle of the kids' buttocks.. and i just like using it cause it does not feel like my fingers are touching those yucky things my kids produce..

Sat, we went to westfield again to buy more wipes and diapers.. yes, i guess everyone would have guess that i have given up hope in potty training..

bought more bubbles for joel and he enjoyed it so much.

after Joel's nap, i found that he developed red eye again. so off to the clinic and yes it is.. :(( bought the eye drops for him then he wanted more shopping.. so we went to aldi and then hubs cooked a amazing dinner for us all.. i am still feeling satisfied from it..:)

some pics of them
jovan feeling hot and just with diapers. he has been walking around with us now..

Joel's red eye

Jovan got some bad reaction from mozzie bites.. :(((

Hanging outside the house as it is just too warm inside

Joel entertaining us all with the bubbles

didi trying his best to catch the bubbles

we nearly bought this for joel.. but he didn;t show much excitement.. so i guess he is not ready to be riding a bike.. but hubs is impatient and wants so badly to teach his son how to ride a bike

Joel picked the ben 10 hat though.. but we didn't buy any of it..

hubs and his pride and joys..:)) and also his big gut.

The Goods are here

i bought a couple of clothes from Pumpkin Patch online as they had the 40% sale of selected items. i got a shirt for Joel as well. Most of the stuff were for Joy Joy. My sis picked them herself.. a cute swimwear, which i think is very small. hopefully she can fit into it
and a pink blouse with jeans..

Pics of your goods jie..:)

the purple swimwear

the jeans

and the blouse

i had a bad migraine attack yesterday and lasted till today. hence at home resting. never had it so bad before and now that i can't take cafergot, i am suffering with it. usually goes away within a couple of hours when i take that drug.. but now, it just stays on and on and on..:((
