My Fairy Princess Palace

This was a gift given by Auntie Veron on my 1st birthday but I was not ready to appreciate until recently.

The fine paper works of art is crafted with great details of extreme exquisiteness.

Come with it are some nice cute paperdolls including king, queen, fairies, princesses, prince and some characters of magical land.

It is designed with great details in mind to the extent of including a restroom for the residents of the palace..haha

It is so delicate that Mummy kept reminding me to play and handle with care.

I started imagining myself in a land of fairytale where these two paper dolls resemble Cayden and I. Haha..


In the process of play, I learn about King, Queen, Princess, Fairies and some other new vocabs. Learning through play is the most enjoyable and rewarding!

p.s Daddy's comment - he cannot understand the fun involved as only girls can appreciate this...hee hee

a-Maze-ing

Besides jigsaw puzzles, Mummy is surprised that I love to challenge simple mazes.

I have started with extremely simple Kumon mazes and then increased the level of difficulty with each page. This is a wonderful and fun activity which help me improve my problem-solving as well as fine-motor skills. I am very addicted to it and have completed 24 mazes for the past 2 days.

Mummy hopes practicing mazes can help me improve my writing skill since I do not show as much interest in letter tracing.





Mummy has to start sourcing for printable mazes online once I completed my Kumon Easy Maze workbook, which could be soon!

He is 7.5 mths old

It has been a very eventful month for Cayden as he reaches a few interesting development milestones as follows:

- Able to stand while holding on to our hands for support

- Make himself comfortable in a baby chair

- Able to sit for a slightly longer period

- Two bottom teeth spouting (not able to capture on photo though)

- Attempt to imitate us talking instead of solely googoo-gaagaa

- Able to crawl backward and maneuver slowly towards a targetted spot

What an exciting and enjoyable period for both us and him!

All four down

One after another, we took turns to fall sick.

It all started off with a little cough virus I brought back from school which was then passed on to Daddy. He experienced a bad sorethroat but luckily recovered quite speedily with the help of medication. My cough, however, took slightly longer to recover.

Two weeks thereafter, Mummy contacted the germ from me and it got really nasty. On top of the sorethroat and flu, she had fever consecutively for four days. What do you usually do when you have a fever? Rest right? Mummy did not have such a luxury. While running a temperature, she had to look after Cayden. The worst nightmare came when Cayden fell sick too. He was down with fever, sorethroat and flu too.

It has been quite tough. That explains why the blog came to a stand still for the past one week. Gladly, we are on the path to recovery. Hope we will all be in pink of health very soon!

p.s We know we still owe you the last update of our taiwan trip. Will do so soon ok?

A Caring Heart


Mummy has been sick. Down with fever, common flu as well as sore throat, she caught the nasty virus from Daddy and I. Not to worry, Daddy and I have almost recovered while Mummy is slowly feeling better.

While Mummy was unwell, she was touched by some of my little heartwarming gestures which, she thought, ought to be posted for sharing:
  • *Mummy resting on the bed feeling weak*
    Carys: Good Night, Mummy.
    Mummy: Good Night, Carys.
    Carys: *pat pat* Don't talk, sleep, Mummy. Don't talk, sleep.
  • *Mummy and Carys getting ready to sleep*
    Carys: Cold, Mummy. It's cold *Cover Mummy with blankie*

Mummy must admit that she can be pretty clumsy at times, especially when she walks.

  • *Mummy and Carys holding hands walking*
    Carys: Mummy, walk carefully. Watch your steps. Don't fall down.
A gentle reminder for the careless Mummy:
  • *Daddy passed Mummy some small notes before she got off the car to buy some packed food*
    Carys: Mummy, be careful. Please don't drop the money
I melted Mummy's heart:
  • *Carys came home, walked straight to Mummy, gave her a kiss and hug, then said "I love you"*
    Mummy: *speechless*
Mummy's little baby girl has grown up!!

His new teething toy

Little Cayden "discovered" the existence of his little toes a month ago and started suckling/ biting them as teething toys. Sound funny? View video below

Oh yeah, his 2 bottom front teeth are sprouting - about 0.5mm in size. We will upload some photos when Daddy or Mummy manage to capture them on camera.

2 inches Snapped!!!!

Very reluctantly, Mummy brought me to the hairdresser for a 2inches trim.

I now look more refreshed, isn't it?

My previous hair length had made me very uncomfortable and disturbed, plus Mummy did not have the chance to tie my hair all the time.

We shall meet again, little ponytails!

Fun Taiwan - Day 4 to 6

More photos uploaded. Click here to view.

Day 4 29 Sept 09

Day 5 30 Sept 09

Day 6 1 Oct 09

(Certainly, Mummy would return to Taipei - for more shopping in WuFenPu. Haha!)
  • Covered half of ShiLin Night Market. A heaven for street snacks indeed. My parents wished they were cows - with 4 stomachs.... so that they could eat more. Mummy was very pleased to have tasted the famous Raohe Pepper Bun 胡椒饼. It would appeal to you if you like pepper - extremely crispy with peppery juicy meat within. Yummm... the 15 minutes of torturing queue was worth it.

Come back for more on the remaining days of our trip!
