Ryan @ 3 years 9 months

Some fun facts:
1. He loves legos. He can spend hours on it if allowed....

2. He is well loved at pre-school. His teachers tells us he is very well behaved and is always willing to help the other kids.

3. He has lost interest in TV. He will watch if it is on, but seldom asks us to turn it on.


4. He can recognize is upper and lower case alphabets.

5. He can write his name minus the Y. He has a hard time with writing Y.

6. He can count to 100, minus the 30,40,50,60,70,80,90 and 100. He can count all the numbers in between :)


7. He started attending mandarin classes on Saturday mornings for one hour. He is quick to learn colors, animals, and fruits so far. Ethan and Daran are in this class as well, so he looks forward to the play time after class. Pic below was him and Ethan hanging out in Toys R Us after class.

8. Favorite foods : he seems adventurous with food. He likes sushi rolls, pasta, oat meal, tomatoes. He has asked us to buy him durian and loves it..:) Oh, he also love the sour plum and orange peel. I think he has my taste buds!

Dylan @ 2 years old

Here are some updates on Dylan @ 2 years old.

Dylan's 2 year old numbers:

Height : 2 ft 11.75 inches (88.12 percentile) (probably almost 6 ft at adult height)
Weight : 30 lb 6.4 oz (13.789 kg)
** His weight and height is about the same as Ryan at two years old**

Some fun facts:
1. He continues to follow Ryan in most stuff. This makes it easy for us, cos we can get Ryan to do stuff, and Dylan will follow.

2. He loves to play legos and train. He will ask us to build the tracks for him by saying "choo choo"

3. Favorite foods : pasta, yogurt, grapes. He usually eats about anything. When he is not hungry, he would keep food in his mouth until we remind him to chew.

4. He takes 0ne nap a day for 1.5 hours. At night he sleeps from 9.30pm to 6.30am. He is an easy sleeper at night. If we lie next to him, he falls asleep.

5. oh, about 3 times a week, he still wakes up around 6 and asks for milk! Yes... guess he does not eat enough all day.

6. He can tell us when he wants to pee and poo. He prefers not to tell us when he wants to pee, which means we have to ask him, or bribe him to pee. One day, he will get out of diapers!

7. He can say many words; so far, his three letter word is "where are you". He definitely can communicate with his single words.

8. His favorite show now is Caillou and Wiggles. He loves to come over and ask for Caillou all the time (tv addict!)


9. Did I mention how grouchy he can get? If he wants something, he will demand until he gets it. If he doesn't want something, he will say NO loudly, followed by a glare!

10. He loves reading. His favorite books are "Clifford and the rabbit" and "Fire fire".

11. Ryan and him can get into a argument with just one saying no and another saying yes... fun times!


12. He needs to hold something before he goes to bed... (just like Ryan!). When it is sleeping time, he would say "hold, hold" and would go around the room looking for something to hold in his hand...

Sleepover

Ryan, Ethan, Daran and Dylan had their first sleepover in August 2011.

Gordon was going to Reno with his frens so I invited Sodany and the kids over for the sleepover.

  

We started around 5pm, allowing the kids to play and burn energy. They played ball outside.

Sodany made dinner - alfredo pasta with carrots and brocolli. 

They also played with rocks.




When it was sleeping time, the boys were excited to go to sleep on the same bed..:) Don't they look cute all ready for bed? They slept well. Dylan woke up the middle of the night, came out of the room and pointed to the room to tell me Ethan and Daran were there. He came over to my bed to sleep after that.

 

 In the morning, Sodany read them a book.

Below is a video of lunch with Ethan and Ryan. Daran left early since he had swim lessons.




Playing by the stairs. They definitely had fun!

 

Good buddies!
 

It was a very successful playdate. Everyone was very polite and there was no fighting. I don't think there was any crying too. Can't wait to have more sleepovers!

Reading

Here is a video of Ryan reading Goldilocks and the three bears to Grandma. She is online in malaysia..:)


And Grandma needs to read Ryan and Dylan a book. She is reading a Thomas the train book... We love the internet!

Dylan 2nd Birthday Celebrations.

We had three bday celebrations! Pic below with Gordon's cousins at in laws home. The kids were building lego together.

Check out the video of him and the candles. After this, he was afraid to blow any more candles...




2nd celebration was at home, hence the kids with their home clothes and underwear!!
Dylan's bday present from us was legos with 22 lego figures...... as you can see, Ryan was already trying to help Dylan fix the figures.

Here is what it looks like with some figures.

Our third celebration was with Ethan and Daran and families. I know, Dylan needs his own friends, but he totally loves Ethan and Daran.

The bday celebrations were great. Dylan got a lot of legos (by request..hehe) and he is enjoying them now!
