Weekend of Parties!

Ryan and Jaden were invited to Ashley's 1st birthday party on Saturday, 2nd June. As usual, Ryan enjoyed himself tremendously, running together with the other boys, watching fishes swimming in the pond, playing bubbles and occasionally 'fight' for things. Ryan is a very strong-willed child and sometimes as parents, we find it rather difficult to discipline him. Papa said that he'll be the disciplinarian in the house (although he can be quite inconsistent at times especially with regards to Ryan's bedtime). Well, papa was the one who chose Ryan's name at the point of baby's gender checkup at Dr Wong's when mama was 18 weeks pregnant then. Ryan which means 'Little King' really behaves as one :P

Jaden, on the other hand, is more reserved. He refused to be carried by anyone else, except papa, mama and the maids. An attempt by Aunty Siew Ling to carry the lil' fella was successful, albeit a short while, when he saw papa mama at a distance.

Papa mama also brought the boys to The First Few Years to check out the booster seat for Ryan. We could not decide on the seat because: (a) we wanted to check out other stores for comparibility of price and models (b) we're not sure whether the boys would sit on their 'special' seats (c) the 2 bulky seats would take up a lot of space in the car

Anyway, Jaden enjoyed himself in the playpen at the shop:

And later at the playground:

It was ku-cheh's birthday yesterday and we had steamboat. Ryan and Jaden love the fish ball so much, they had so many and I lost count in the numbers they took.
