Megan's 2nd Birthday (Part 3)

Celebrating with my families is the last part of the story.

My second eldest sister ordered Megan a special cake from Raymond's sister who has been am amateur baker. Very professional cake! 

Let's take a family photo! 

Everyone is enjoying the cake, except Kailan. she is looking for opportunity if someone is dropping a piece of fruit or cake crumbs. 

Sunday (Sep 4)

Today ah Lun will have marathon work for the Election Day. He had to work from 5am Sunday until 3pm Monday. It's such a long day for him. It means this Sunday I am all on my own again. No problem, mommy is planning something fun. 

Breakfast time. One butter toast for mama and one for Megan. 

Kailan kept asking for the bread. We have her some

When I started cooking at around 10:30am, Megan knows that and she will play on her own. Kailan is just sitting there, staying a distance from baby

Kailan, what are u doing there facing the wall? Day dreaming? 

Kailan just wants to stay with me instead of that little monster. 

Mama is cooking, so does she. 

She's washing the dishes

She just had a 30-min nap. But I let her stay in her room for nearly two hours, so both of us could take a rest before we go out

We went to DPark's indoor park to kill time. They have two girls who taught kids to do exercise. Obviously Megan is not interested. She's looking them from afar. 

There are lots of toys for the young toddlers. 

Having fun in the spinning chair

Let's sing: Yankee Doodle came to town, riding on a pony...... 

Poking the eyes of the pony. Kailan gets the same treatments all the time

She said quack quack quack 

Hop hop hop

Before meal time. Drawing for only a short time. Too bad

She dislikes scramble egg, may be that's the reason for the face. 

She could only eat hard boiled eggs. In the end lots of pasta was given to her. 

The children set is actually very cute! 

After the long day, we took taxi home. We had milk and a hot shower before mealtime. After that mama needs a break. I did not move at all on the sofa until 11pm. Just feeling too tired. 

Sep 24-25

Today, we were learning day and night at playgroup. Children just love to hold something with a stick. 

We had an easy Saturday. We did not do anything in the afternoon. 

On Sunday, Papa was working early in the morning and he came home after work at 9am. we went out to have a breakfast on together, that's great timing. 

Megan is so tall that people will think she's 3 yrs old. But she's still not yet turning two. I am also amazed by her height. 

She is so used to sit on the hip seat. She does not even hold papa tight. How much trust she's giving papa. Looks scary to me. 

Breakfast at Delifrance. Not good at all. 

She loves corn and mushroom. 

On the way home at Kwai Fong station, I asked, shall we take a passport photo? 

We used to do this when we were young dating. Why not doing these random thing together. I love Ah Lun that he will say yes in a second. 

So let's do something fun, after all it's  HKD50 only. 

In the afternoon, Megan was reading my travel magazines while I was cooking. 

She always pointed the cruise ships. 

Kailan knew that I have food, so she always eager to come in. 

Baked pasta

Baked broccoli tots. Saw that on FB and IG and I wanted to try it. 

So eager to see what's going on in the oven. 

It's so yummy she finished all. She really had a big appetite. 

Sunday (Sep 18)

We started the day early and met grandma and grandpa at Starbucks before 9am. 

Grandma gave Megan a free gift. It's an ice cream playdoh set. She's sharing the ice cream with her friends before lunch. 

After I sent Megan to sleep, ah Lun is so nice and cooked me a noodle even though Tin Tin is working today. Such a tasty noodle, love it! 

After her lunch nap, we had a messy play session. Let's do foot painting. She was so scared of making herself dirty in the first place. After some warm-up, she's having fun. 

Cat walk with paint. 

I asked her to paint her toes. Haha

Painted for a long time...

After that, I gave her a spray bottle to play. The water spray will dilute the paint, and it should be interesting. 

She kept trying to use the bottle and put the spray onto her body. That's so hilarious. 

Luckily Kailan was not interested. Otherwise the house will be full of colors!! 

She did ask Kailan to come over but Kailan was scared of that bottle and refused to come closer. 

After the clean up, What's next? 

Let's do painting in a bag. 

She's feeling less interested in this so we switched to singing nursery rhymes 

That's pretty much the end of our day. Glad to see daddy before her mealtime, and daddy was requested to sing the songs. Naughty daddy sang old McDonald in jazz style and rock style. That's very entertaining for me and tin tin. 

 

Sep 16 中秋

Papa needs to work today. But we had a short family swimming time in the afternoon. 

This is probably the last swim this summer. It's a bit windy and chilly. 

One hand holding polar bear and the other one is red little boat. 

Some funny shots with Kailan on that day. 

Kailan is finishing her yoghurt everyday. Such a healthy dog. 

Megan loves to put dots with her red crayon. So I asked her what are these, she replied a few times these are apples. So I am taking a picture to record this. 

Ah Lun was sending this full moon picture on his way to work. How amazing.
