Touched...

It's the first time Mummy has received a Mothers' Day card. One that is supposedly handmade by Lleyton. She didn't even know of its existence until she unpacked his school bag and noticed it in the front pocket. Mummy could seriously feel her heart melt.. It was nothing fantastic and probably 70% done by the teacher or completed with the teacher's assistance. But somehow it made her feel so proud as a mother.

Daddy was envious too. He kept repeating that he also wants to have one. He probably have to wait till Fathers' Day. Mummy shall rave over this for the next one month at the minimum.

Here's another piece of art work for Mummy the very next day.

First week in school

Lleyton has been going to school everyday for the past one week. Although he often appears reluctant to go in or part with Mummy, he will obey instructions and drag his new school bag into his classroom after removing his shoes.

First day went on well until nap time. He just wouldn't fall asleep during the nap hour at 1pm! Mummy could see him flipping books, walking around, sitting on chairs. Guess he was not used to the routine yet. He finally fell asleep at 2.40pm and had to wake up at 3pm when the activities have to start again.

For the next few days, he kinda got used to the napping hours and took his nap like the rest. Apart from the usual whining when Daddy picks him up (he will suddenly appear to be very emotional and start sobbing) , the teachers commented that he was able to adapt to the new environment. Hope he will grow to like school more and more each day!

Ready & Eager for School!

Lleyton has come of age, and it's time for him to start school. Yesterday marked the first day that Lleyton had worn his new school uniform to school. He looked so eager and happy to be leaving for school.

However, when in school, the mood was rather different. His separation anxiety was full-blown, and he was not at his sociable best. Yesterday, he was crying and sobbing most of the time he was awake. Lets hope his acclimatisation improves over the next few weeks, before he starts full-time in May.

Shoes Craze

Lleyton has grown to be very curious, and he is interested to find out more about almost everything. His latest fav is to try out Daddy's and Mummy's shoes. He tried to wear Daddy's leather shoes on several occasions, and ended up tripping over each time. He has had better luck with Mummy's sandals as shown in the video below.

Ice Cream Mania

At a recent food festival, Mummy had bought lots of ice cream. So Lleyton was the indirect beneficiary, as he got to try out the new ice cream that Mummy had bought. He loved it, but who would not?

Self Feed

Lleyton has tried his hand at feeding himself...but without much success. Daddy has sensed Lleyton's determination at mastering a skill which he desperately needs, because of his insatiable appetite. Mummy has supported Lleyton's skills development by getting him a set of utensils that Lleyton is able to use on his own.

The first video shows Lleyton's keen interest in feeding himself. The second video demonstrates how Mummy has to top up Lleyton's efforts with supplementary feeding.

In a Shopping Cart

Daddy & Mummy were shopping at their usual groceries store, the Carrefour at Sutec. Lleyton is in...erm...his pyjamas, but he's restless as usual.

He got bored of sitting in the child seat after 5 minutes, and wanted to get down on his feet. Hence, Daddy had to place in within the shopping cart to appease him. However, as a safety precaution, Daddy lined up the shopping cart with shock absorbers (as shown in the photo on the left).

Of course, the diapers were also on the shopping list. :)

Fiddling with Ipod Touch

Lleyton has been learning to keep pace with the latest technological gadgets around. His latest "toy" is an ipod touch. He has now learnt how to slide the lock open, and delete applications from the ipod!

Driving Trip - Avillion Part 2

This entry is revolved around the photos taken by Uncle Alex and Auntie Hester during the recent driving trip to Avillion. As Daddy & Mummy's camera had run out of battery midway into day 1, Alex and Hester had actually taken more photos of Lleyton than Daddy & Mummy.

Lleyton expressing his fear of the sea...momentary fear, which he quickly overcame.

Once Lleyton discovers the pleasures of the sea, he's full of energy and courage.

Driving Trip - Avillion Part 1

Last weekend, Lleyton went on a driving trip to Malaysia with Daddy, Mummy, Uncle Alex and Auntie Hester. The five first headed to Malacca for lunch and shopping. Lleyton had fun along the trip, with lots of snacks, and sleep.

In Malacca, the five had the infamous Famosa Chicken Rice (with chicken rice balls), and topped that up with the A1 chendol. Check out Lleyton being caught on camera, eyeing on the chendol!

Later that afternoon, Lleyton visited the beach beside the Avillion resort. This was the first time that Lleyton had walked on sand, thus he initially appeared very apprehensive, not daring to move his feet.

This changed soon after, when he realised how exciting it was to have his feet buried under the sand. See...no feet!

He even learnt how to play beach football!

Later that night, the five bought dinner from the local pasar malam, and spent just RM30+, for a sumptuous spread for all, Lleyton included.
