Starting with Suzuki

Coco and Claire have been attending Saturday music classes for a few weeks now. I can almost see my readers’ eyeballs widen now. What?! Music lessons for a 21-month old and a two-month old? So kiasu for what? Well, hear me out first. For one, it’s music – not math! We’re not in pursuit of » Read More

So When? Number 3?

I guess the title of this entry says it all. It’s a funny question to ask, isn’t it? Well, not an entirely inappropriate question in itself. But given the fact that I had only just delievered my second child not that long ago, I thought it was a tad odd for people to question when » Read More

Teeny Weeny Claire

While Coco is quite a natural in front of the camera and enjoys hamming it up to entertain her adoring audience, Claire isn’t exactly the most photogenic baby out there. During her early days, because she was so sleepy all the time, she looked mostly deadpan, rewarding us only occasionally with a rare smile. Now » Read More

Bloom Shoot No.2

Claire turned one month old on 10 May! The scrawny little baby bird has put on more than half a kilo since then and is now a slightly heftier little bundle of cuteness. She has filled out all around and can finally fit nicely in her newborn clothes instead of swimming piteously in all that » Read More

School’s OK!

This entry will touch on how Coco is doing at playgroup because school is now a big part of this little girl’s daily routine and life. We’re happy (and utterly relieved) to report that, two months into starting school, Coco now loves attending the half-day programme at childcare.

DIY Paint Date

March turned out to be a pretty good month. One of the highlights would have to be Dan’s best friend’s – also Coco’s godpa’s – wedding on 9 March. The Best Man delivered his speech with aplomb and the goddaughter fulfilled her role as the Flower Girl. Well, truth be told, the only reason Coco » Read More

These School Days (Part 3)

In Part 1, I talked about starting our hunt for a suitable childcare centre for Coco and later shared, in Part 2, that we had settled on one located in an office building near home. Coco has been attending school for three weeks now since 1 March. Here’s a snapshot of how things have been » Read More

This Time Round

I’ve had people ask me how this pregnancy compares to my first when I was carrying Coco. I would have thought that since both my babies are girls, both pregnancies would be more or less similar. Like how I would have none of that famously big, swollen nose or bad complexion that supposedly come with » Read More
