What is Daddy talking about?

At times, I wonder why can't the Dad be in serious business with the kids. As in, teach and learn with them in proper. Many times, I hear "interesting" conversations between them:

 

At mcdonalds

Dad: There's no more apple juice. 

Jazz: No more apple juice?  

Dad: Ya, because the apple never fall off the tree, so no apples to make apple juice, you know? 

Jazz: (Nodding her head). Apple never fall. 

 

Jazz was on my iphone at home 

Dad: Jazz, come here and play. It's very dark there, the yang qi no good. You know the yin yang qi? Come here! 

 

In the car  

Dad: Jazz, why do you need to cry and stomp your feet? Who taught you? Issit Tin Pei Ling?  

 

Eating watermelon   

Jazz: I don't want the seed.  

Dad: Ya, don't eat the seeds, otherwise a tree will grow from your head. 

 

Still collating more conversations. This is why most Dads leave the academics to the Mums.

初十五 - Little Brother Arrived in Feb 2011

It was the last day of CNY, after sending me to school, together with Daddy, Mummy went off for her gynae visit. Upon her check, Mummy asked gynae to check on baby's cord, whether it was affecting his movements. Mummy felt that didi's movements were lesser throughout the days. Mother's instinct perhaps. So doctor checked that cord was around his neck, and suggested to induce that morning. It was so unprepared, everything's gonna happen that day. Hosipital bag was home, arrangement for me wasn't done, the dog's not groomed and Daddy's camera is home! The most important gadget for any baby's arrival.

So here's my little brother's birth story, by Mummy:

10:30am: Scan and checked that dilation was 2cm
10:45am: Tablet to induce given

11:00am: Went on CTG and contractions were strong - 4cm dilated
12:00pm: Admission to TMC
12:30pm: Enema given to clear bowel
2:00pm: Tempted for epidural, but no no. Asked for Pethidine instead - still at 4cm.
2:30pm: Pushed to delivery suite -Awaiting full dilation
6:00pm: Fully dilated, urge to push. Pain was intense, if only epidural was still valid, I might have given in.
6:05pm: Gynae came - 3 tough pushes and...
6:21pm:  Little Brother arrived!!!!!!!!!

Although a second time Mummy, it was a whole new experience. I did it without epidural this time, and man! The pain was horrifying, yet of great achievement. Most importantly, I've saved hundreds of bucks on epidural.

 

Welcome to our family!

For arriving on the last day CNY - Grandma and Grandpa gave him ang bao

 

Jazz exploring little Jare...

 

It's now a Foursome for us!

 

Upon little brother's arrival. Few things need to change:
1. We need to share this blog, it's no more all about little Jazz
2. Preposition needs to change, it's no more Jazz speaking. It will be Mummy on behalf of us!

Thank God for the birth of another miracle and thank you everyone for their well wishes! Babies are true blessings and joy.

Emo Daddy

My Daddy got a little emotional today. He was in tears, but we were in laughter.

I was playing kinda rough with my minnie mouse today, so much so that I got its ribbon pulled out. Mummy and Daddy then went fingers pointing at me, doing the typical 'orh...' Not soon, Jiu jiu and berry jie jie came into the room and they joined in the finger pointing session. I started to feel and pout my lips, soon I cried. It's either I'm upset over mouse mouse's dropped ribbon or I'm fearful that everyone's giving me the finger pointing attention.

Trust me, it was an emotional and innocent sight. Mummy got a little teary too, but she held it back because jiu jiu and jie jie were there. It was Daddy who couldn't hold back his tears. Jiu Jiu even embarrassed Daddy by asking, "why you cry ah?" Everyone's eyes rolled over to Daddy, he was wiping his tears! Not trying to be rude, but it was really funny to see Daddy cry.

Mummy then ask why he cried, he said I looked really upset over minnie mouse's dropped ribbon and that I looked really helpless when it happened. Everything looked so genuine and innocent. It was really emotional!

After the crying, I gazed into 'mouse mouse's' ribbon

Daddy sew the ribbon back...

Mouse mouse is one of my favourite companion, I'll be looking for her when it's bedtime. That's why I'm really upset that I've hurt it. Unintentionally. And since Mummy got married to Daddy, she has never seen him picked up the needle and thread. Today was all for his little girl, Jazz. I need to remember this, it's a good write up for my composition when I talk about 'My Daddy' in school next time.
