[[Zenden is 3 yrs & 4 mths old!]]

17 Apr 2011.. Zenden turns 3 yrs & 4 mths old!

Happy 40th mth to my dearest boy!

He will b in Kindergarten One next yr, so fast! Could still remember him as a baby but now he is already an elder brother.

Currently he loves his Nursery class & enjoys going to school everyday. Every Sat, he oso attends Speech & Drama class. I m glad he likes learning & is able to absorb new knowledge very fast.

He knows a lot of things to our surprise & has an excellent memory since young. He can actually remember things or places which he has seen or been there before, even if itz weeks or mths after.

He's talking like a little adult & whatever he says is wif logic. At times he can really make me angry when he throws tantrum but when he is gd, he can b a really sweet boy.

Zenden wif his baby brother. They love each other! Happy that Zenden is accepting the presence of another sibling & is taking it well. So worried that time when Rayden was born & Zenden's character took a change. Jealousy & attention seeking set in.

People said that when baby no.2 arrives or when mummy is pregnant, the elder child's character will change due to most of the time given to the baby. The elder one will think his love & attention from mummy & daddy have to b shared, thus doing all sorts of things to gain attention.

Itz really a crucial period & for me, I was really heartbroken & even cried that time when I saw Zenden from a well-behaved boy became a boy who is mischievous. Luckily we have him involved in taking care of baby Rayden & make him feel that even wif the presence of another child, we didn't neglect him. Even during the confinement period, I tried to go abt taking care of Zenden's daily needs as usual like bathing, feeding & reading to him etc. Gradually Zenden likes the role of being an elder brother & he feels important when we ask him to help to attend to his little brother.

At times although Zenden may "disturb" his little brother, he is still very protective of him. Whenever relatives joke abt bringing Rayden home, he will say "cannot... he's my brother... I want him." He enjoys going shopping or outings wif him. Rayden oso loves this elder brother of his very much. He will smile/laugh whenever Zenden plays or sings to him.

The bond between them is irreplaceable...

Love them to the max! :)

[[Rayden is 9 months old!]]

Belated post...

Baby Rayden turned 9 months old on 3 Apr 2011!

Happy 9th month to my cutie meatball! Love him to bits! :)

Rayden is crawling as well as pulling himself to stand. Wif support, he can walk many steps by moving his feet left & right. Oh ya his teeth r oso growing at an amazing speed. He has 7 little tooths now.

Rayden wif his gor gor Zenden.

He simply loves Zenden who is like his idol. Rayden loves to play wif him & he finds pleasure juz by looking at Zenden sings/dances/reads haha. Sometimes he will b following too wif his baby language. There r a few times we actually heard Rayden calling "ge ge" or "ge" which means brother in Mandarin. Zenden oso loves his baby brother & will even look after & protect him. Really sweet to c the 2 brothers so loving! Hopefully when they grow up, the bond between the 2 siblings will b still as strong.

Of course not forgetting his another idol, his daddy!

When Rayden wakes up in the morning, the 1st person he is looking for will b his daddy! He will wan to b carried for a while b4 his daddy goes to work. When he comes home after work, Rayden will oso want him to carry.

Think he likes men to carry him. Whenever he sees my father, he will oso wan him to carry. So funny!

Haha although I m not Rayden's biggest idol, I still love him a lot. He is simply so adorable! Taking care of a baby is not easy, very physically & mentally tiring. However when I c him grow up day by day happy & healthy, everything's worth it! When they grow bigger, hopefully all will b easier. Juz treasure their cutest moments now.

A fren once told me we should cherish the times when our baby still needs us... needs our care, love, hugs & kisses. When he grows up, he may no longer b dependent on us. He will b setting up his own family & have his own circle of frens. He may not even wan to go out wif us haha.

Well... kids r beautiful creations. I m glad I have 2. Though they can drive me mad at times but their smiles, innocence as well as cute actions compensate it all. =)
