A day to celebrate!

I've been trying to toilet train D, but to no avail.
Partly due to my lack of time and commitment.
And partly due to D not being ready yet.

Tonight as I was latching him to sleep, he suddenly said "Pee Pee".
I took off his diapers and he did a good long one in the toilet bowl!
After that, I praised him and told him he should do the same to inform me before he poops the next time.
Within 10 minutes, he told me "poop poop".
Now I really think he may not really want to poop, but I had to give him the benefit of doubt yeah?
Afterall, I am trying to toilet train him.

We got out of bed and I put him on the toilet bowl, after which he simply chuckled and chatted with me in the toilet, sigh.
There were many more "poop poop" requests that night, but I just pretended to sleep.

So much for toilet training :)

Made: Ang Ku Kuih

S has been asking for ang ku kuehs, but our favourite stall in Alexandra is never opened on Sundays.
And when we finished our lessons on Saturdays, they're always sold out.
So I attempted to make our own ang ku kuehs.
Even though I never liked ang ku kuehs (I will ONLY eat the ones from Alexandra), I thought this one is pretty good when freshly made.
S also helped to make her own "red tortoises".
You can guess from the picture which one is hers :)
Recipe from Florence of Do What I Like.

Before steaming, I though we were going to get pink ang ku kuehs!

I even told S I must have gotten the wrong food colouring.

Thank God the kuehs came out red!

That's S enjoying the fruit of her labour!

Dinner Rolls

These dinner rolls are pretty good.
I might have not proofed them well or overbaked them, cos they were a little hard on the outside.
Plus, I obviously don't know how to shape them properly.
But still, they were good!
Recipe from Happy Flour

Made a mental note that I can get the kids to shape their own buns next time.

Happy Birthday David!

Happy Birthday my little man!

You've suddenly grown up - you've have stopped your biting (more or less), your roll-on-the-floor tantrums and you're speaking a lot suddenly!

May you be happy and healthy forever!
