M: Box had a Bad Fall!

He jumped from the platform and knocked his nose against the Bose Bass Module, causing a tear on the nose bridge. The screams coming from Mum is something I will never forget. Even while typing this, I can still hear her screams ringing in my ears. Box screamed real bad as well. It happened after their bath at night.

We took a quick shower each because we ran that evening. Then we rushed to NUH A&E immediately. Thankfully, it was not packed with people. Due to Covid, only 1 accompanying parent is allowed. I waited outside while Mum went through Triage and consulted the Doctor with Box. His wound was washed and the Doctor glued his wound together. It couldn't be stitched because bits of flesh was still attached to his skin. It's more conducive to glue, I supposed.

We left the hospital slightly past midnight. By then he was asleep in Mum's arms. We wiped him down when we got home and put him in bed. He stirred a little while we wiped but, with what he had gone through, he quickly went back to sleep.

Doctor's advice: not to get the wound wet over the next crucial 4 days. The glue must gel together to allow healing. That means we can't bring him to the playground, bathing is a challenge and absolutely no crying. Also, those who jump from the platform and headboard, will be severely punished from now on.

Speed recovery, little man.

M: Box turns 3!!

​So…he’s 3 years old today. As usual, there is no fancy party, just hanging out together.

After Breakfast, we walked to the playgrounds at 321. We wanted him to have a cup of soya bean drink and play there, as part of the celebrations. It then dawned upon us that we forgot to prepare his piñata. Next stop, Daiso at West Coast Plaza, it is. Everyone got the piñata ready while he rode on the kiddy rides.

Hitting the piñata has become a tradition. If I remember it correctly, we started first in Rotorua with Abby’s birthday. Looking at the pictures and comparing them to previous years, Box has grown. He is able to manage the Pinata much better, using more force and body swing.

Popsicle. 1 of his greatest loves. He had a huge Mickey Mouse popsicle and polished it off real fast. The 5 ingredients (lemon, kale, cucumber, green apple, lemon) popsicle is not for the faint hearted. Very few people can accept this. haha

At night, we gave them all 3 episodes of Paw Patrol while Mum and I opened our Christmas presents (Apple Watch Series 7). We bought them on Christmas Day and only manage to find time to be together to explore it 4 days later.

M: Christmas Party

It was a simple affair, just pizzas and pasta. We ordered KFC to supplement it for Jamera and Susie. Midway through dinner, Kelly and her 3 kids came bearing Christmas gifts.
