- Wake up 8.15am in the morning and make sure LO gets up, pees and gets dressed. Time to take him to pre-school. It takes him at least 5 minutes to put on his socks and shoes by himself. It's raining so we drive him to school, otherwise we walk 5-10 minutes. - Check basic emails. Post pics of the day on IG/FB accounts. Snooze for a while longer to catch up on sleep. - Breakfast time. Make eggs for hubby and I, or make yoghurt bowl with nuts and fruit for myself. Hubby makes his hand-poured coffee. - 30 min devotional time with passage of the day, which may lead to the occasional intercessory time which will stretch out to an hour.  - Work time. Start opening up music files that need to be finished, read work emails and check to-do lists. Start work on the most pressing project. Reply to a bunch of messages concerning available dates and upcoming rehearsals.  - Pop first load of laundry into the washing machine.  - 12.30pm. Order lunch for 2 on ubereats or skip outsi...

Bubby turns 2yrs 9mnths in a couple of days. Today, I measured him and he was 3ft 2inches tall which was a pleasant surprised. Just 2 weeks ago he was 3ft 1.5inches, so apparently he's had a bit of a growth spurt.  I'm having a 3 day weekend alone with him at the moment as T is in China with Yoga Lin. We are just grateful that he has a steady stream of work this second half of the year due to unforeseen circumstances with my job with CTC.  --------- I just put a extra-hyper kid to bed but he hasn't fallen asleep yet. If I could redeem all the hours I've spent trying to put this little munchkin to bed I'd be a year younger I think. That's the horrendous amount of time I've spent tussling with a little man who sleeps as little as he can, yet still manages to grow and thrive. Sigh. This is the sort of day that fries my brain cells.  Signing off because he is not going to sleep without me. BOO

I wish blogged more regularly about parenthood and kept milestone records more diligently. But life happens...Whoosh and we're into 22 months of official parenthood (plus the 9 months of expectant parenthood).  Bubby turns 2 really soon.  Everyone we've met has commented that he's grown to be such a big boy. No longer a baby, not even really a toddler anymore. He's 2 feet 10 inches tall, and weighs a hefty 13.1kg. He's muscular with a comfortable padding of cute baby fat, has round eyes with double lids, a cute bowl cut, and a smile that lights up the room. He can walk like a pro, and run around quite efficiently now. He climbs like a monkey, has great arm and leg strength, good balance, a startling sense of direction.  Bubby is quite an early talker, especially considering that he's a boy. Also a clear enunciator. Some interesting scenarios lately: Currently he can say, 'C'mon man' (obviously imitating T)  whenever T hits the brakes, or...
