Peek-a-boo!

Saturday, November 20th, 2004

I used to flap around like a fish out of water when papa put a blankie or a wash cloth over my head. Now I know how to pull the cloth away and grin like the Cheshire cat! It’s one of my favorite games to play now!
I also like looking around, over, and under things. [...]

Size 3

Friday, November 19th, 2004

Woo-hoo, my folks finally bought me size 3 diapers!
I have been squeezing into size 2 diapers for a while now and I had to suck my gut in with each diaper change! Someone call the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Cutie Pies! My pie stuffing would sometimes leak or my cuteness would spill [...]

I said…

Thursday, November 18th, 2004

I stopped mama and papa in their tracks today. No, I did not produce an exceptional diaper present.
I was riding on the shoulders of my papa mule when he stopped, pointed at mama and asked me, “Who is that?”
From my perch I said, “Ma-ma.”
Apparently that was enough to make mama’s eyes well up and papa’s [...]

Weighty matter?

Tuesday, November 16th, 2004

Papa says that the female human animal is the more complex of the two. But there is something I don’t understand about papa.
Before my six-month checkup, papa was concerned that I was not getting as round as much as I was getting tall. This from a man who makes fat jokes at my expense!
The pediatrician [...]

Puasa?

Monday, November 15th, 2004

Papa told me that yesterday was the Hari Raya Puasa holiday in Singapore. He said that on that day our Muslim friends marked the end of a month of fasting. Wow, a whole month of fasting… I can’t even last a whole morning without food!
I don’t think that mama could last a whole month [...]

Helpful me

Sunday, November 14th, 2004

I blow “raspberries” more often now. It’s such a funny sound! When I spray saliva, I not only keep my lips moist in the dry weather, I also help mama water her plants!
I also make lots of liquid and semi-solid plant fertilizer. But mama thinks that my fertilizer will kill her plants instead of making [...]

Pimp my ride

Saturday, November 13th, 2004

I asked papa to “pimp my ride” yesterday. You may know what a Roadster is and you may have seen a Bengster (an Ah Beng’s car), but you have probably never come across a Strollster!
When we go on walks, it sometimes gets dark by the time we turn back. With winter approaching, it also gets [...]

Peacemaker

Friday, November 12th, 2004

Yesterday, I mentioned that I have been a sleep fighter for a while. But war is hell when you have to wear diapers. So I have decided to make peace instead of war.
I still prefer to play with my toys and watch TV and go out for walks and stare at people. But when it [...]

Fighter!

Thursday, November 11th, 2004

Each time mama and papa bring me to the pediatrician for a regular checkup, they get a sheet of paper with “helpful tips” on rearing me. Hah, like anyone can predict what I will do!
One recent tip was that babies my age and upward tend to fight sleep. I have been telling my parents that [...]

Poser

Thursday, November 11th, 2004

Papa calls me a “poser”. No, I do not pose nude for paintings or model diapers for magazines. (Why not, papa? I have a cute tushie!)
Sometimes when I drink my moo, I will only take “sips”. When I get distracted by a sight or sound, I will pop off my moo mug and take a [...]
