Oh My Aching Fingers...

Jeddy is into The Little Einsteins lately. It's all he ever watches. Try making him watch another cartoon and he will protest, "No [insert cartoon name] ! Watch Einsteins?" No amount of cajoling will work.

*narrow eyes*

I was then toying with the idea of getting some Little Einsteins toys for him. *pun unintended* But couldn't find anything decent. Erm, more like I couldn't find one that fits my budget. The rocket toy with two figurines costs a whopping $150 the last time I checked!

Well, in times like this, I do what I do best. Carve stamps! ;D

So there you have it. 10 hours of carving over 4 days. The entire cast of the Little Einsteins in rubber stamps!

I used a super tough material (PZ Kut) for these stamps so they could weather Jeddy boy's rough handling and my, were they super tough to carve as well! Glad my fingers and neck are still intact upon completion. Let's just say that Jeddy is not getting another set of rubber stamps for a while... :P






































































The things a mummy would do for her kids... *wistful sigh*

Looooong Time No See

In case you were all wondering what happened to us, nothing! Just got a little lazy with the blogging, that's all. ;P

Not sure if it's the same for you parents out there. The number of photos taken of the kid seems to be inversely proportionate to his/her age. I looked back at Jeddy's photo album when he was a couple of months old and there were more than a hundred shots in the 2 month old folder. Fast forward to today, he had less than 5 shots of him last month.

Whoops!

Anyway, here's how Jeddy looks like now, at a little more than 2.5 years old. He still has those crazy hair that defies gravity though. ;)























Yes, yes, it's the fish farm again, I know! *blush* But it's a really good place to go to, especially with the choking heat these days. It's nice to hear running water and feel the cool wind when it blows over the ponds.... but here are the pictures of Jeddy in his school uniform.














































And what a difference a few months make! Jeddy is able to feed the fish much better now, and without any help from me. He would go from pond to pond, drop a little food, watch the fish gobble them up, and then add some more. This is unlike in the past where he would dump the whole box of food into one pond in a mere second. Lucky for the fishies in that pond!























Now let's see when is the next time I update this blog again...... ;D

Oh wait! I also crocheted my first pair of baby shoes! These will go onto the feet of a little girl called En Xuan, Peifen's number 3. :)
