Little photographer

Ryo having fun with Katarina yet again.

Next, enjoy a series of pictures Ryo took all by himself. I think these are quite nice.

Squeaking

...on a cool breezy day

Milk scare

Don't worry, I am not talking about Ryo here. He drinks Abbott or Friso brand formula that we lugged in our luggage all the way from Singapore.

I am talking about myself.

I need cold fresh milk in my coffee every morning. Now I dare not buy a single packet, not even those considered "safe".

Then my alternative is the CONDENSED milk. Still the only available Nestle brand is also MADE IN CHINA.

Last alternative: coffee creamer. Also Nestle. Also m.i.c.

What am I going to do? I can only drink kopi-O then... sob sob.

Garland

We made a garland for Ryo from his arts and craft book

While I still can

... suck my toes

We need a swing

Once upon a time, there were two swings at the playground. One day, some naughty kids cut the ropes and the swings vanished, never to be seen again.

One year later, Katarina's father decide to make a temporary swing, using Kat's little stool, some ropes, her brother's belt for safety, and Viola!

Don't look down, don't look down

These shoes are better than mine

Healthy snacks

Grapes in greens and purples. Boiled hotdog and prawns

Grapes and boiled legumes

Ryo has healthy snacks everyday. I'll prepare fruits or boiled meats in containers and we'll share with the kids downstairs. When there are other kids to fight for food, Ryo will eat what he normally won't eat at home. If your kid is not eating something, do what I do.

Popular man

He is the most popular man around.

Having fun

Ryo with another little girl

Ah...beautiful morning

Katarina is trying out Ryo's new boots. They wear the same size croc shoes too.

Why in the world were they sitting on the stools? It started when both were fighting over another stool, so Katarina's mum had to bring down another few to let them share. Now that they are older, they will snatch things away from one another, and there will be a lot of crying. The mothers have a lot of referee's job to do.

Boots are for marching

Best friends still at the end of the day... or rather... in front of the camera

Ryo and his girl

Meet Little Red Riding Hood and Little Red Riding Shorts. They really are together everyday. If you know Ryo, he is not the kind who would get this close to another person. Guess he likes Katarina quite a bit.

You see what I mean

There's no too much of it

You fall, I fall.

First art class

I signed Ryo up for Gymboree classes again. This time he took up arts as well, ain't he a potential abstract artist?

Little feet

Ryo in a different perspective

New stuff

When Ryo had his first taste of jackfruit, which was flown all the way from Hainan, China.

When he wore my Beijing Opera tee and feeling pretty

Normal mess day

Mess created while I was washing Ryo's milk bottle.

The culprit trying to hide

And reveals himself.
