The Adventures of minibeanie and microbeanie: A fluke
http://minibeanie.blogspot.com/2009/11/yes-it-was-fluke-judging-by-mummys-red.html
Monday, November 16. Yes, it was a fluke! Judging by mummy's red eyes this morning at 7, and micro-b's wailing that woke up dada and minibeanie. It was time for the boys to get up anyway and go get flu-jabs for mb. Well, we can't expect micro-b's sleeping pattern to change in one go. The trend is for the better anyway. Microbeanie is 2 months, 1 week and 3 days old. Minibeanie is a 2 year old toddler. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Finn in the making. Other blogs that I'm reading.

The Adventures of minibeanie and microbeanie: Thursday = pea soup + crepe
http://minibeanie.blogspot.com/2010/01/thursday-pea-soup-crepe.html
Thursday, January 21. Thursday = pea soup crepe. There's a quaint tradition in Finland where pea soup ( hernekeitto. And crepes ( lettu. I think if there's any dish that sums up the Finnish psyche, it's this. Hearty, down-to-earth, unpretentious. Shelled peas, dried or fresh. Potatoes, cubed (optional). Meat stock (I used chicken bones left over from a roast). Salt and black pepper. 2 Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan and saute the onions until a golden caramel colour. Add into the stockpot. My 25...

The Adventures of minibeanie and microbeanie: 11.2009
http://minibeanie.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 18. For a few months, mini-b has referred to himself as "boy". It always brings a smile to our faces when he says, "mama, dada, baby, boy", "boy cwwhy" (cry) or "BOY! It also amazes me how fast he's picking up language now. Before we came 2 weeks ago, he said, "hands pois ( Finnish. Away) please" and from his playschool teacher, he apparently said, "Everybody 洗手 ( Chinese. Wash hands)". I suppose it's inevitable that he mixes the languages he's learning everyday.

The Adventures of minibeanie and microbeanie: Share and share alike
http://minibeanie.blogspot.com/2010/01/share-and-share-alike.html
Wednesday, January 13. Share and share alike. Share" is an alien concept among 2 year olds. When we have playdates, mini-b holds his car to his chest and proclaims, "mine". Nevermind that he hasn't touched that toy for ages. Same goes for the long forgotten rattle that micro-b plays with these days. While I'm anxious not to raise selfish brats, pediatric psychologists say this is pretty normal behaviour for 2-3 year olds. Microbeanie is 4 months and 1 week old. Minibeanie is a 2.5 year old toddler. Dunst...

The Adventures of minibeanie and microbeanie: It's all in the name
http://minibeanie.blogspot.com/2010/01/its-all-in-name.html
Wednesday, January 27. It's all in the name. EtonHouse has a practice of putting each student's picture followed by his name on the classroom's door. In the Chinese division class that's beside mini-b's, there are a couple of names that caught our attention. 3 boys named Sunny, Grace, .and my favourite is, Leakey. I feel sorry for that kid. Microbeanie is 4 months and 3 weeks old. Minibeanie is a 2.5 year old toddler. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My 25 yo knows more about cars than me!

The Adventures of minibeanie and microbeanie: 9 days
http://minibeanie.blogspot.com/2010/02/9-days.html
Saturday, February 20. What a difference 9 days make. That was how long DH was away on a trip to Barcelona. And in that time,. Something that I never thought would happen). Micro-b grew. visibly. Micro-b made his first crawl. Micro-b found his toes. I lost my marbles on a couple of occasions. I had also gotten him to sit on the 'big boy potty' with a duckie insert to poop! That was a major accomplishment. And I later found out that the reason for his resistance was his fear of the hole ("high up") an...

The Adventures of minibeanie and microbeanie: 12.2009
http://minibeanie.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 16. Sleeping through the night . at last! Last month, I was wondering if it was a fluke. That micro-b slept through the night. It turned out that it was. Then, we were still in Finland and a week later, we returned to Chengdu. Miraculously, micro-b began to sleep through the night consistently upon our return. I wasn't about to celebrate prematurely in case it was jet lag but it has been 3 weeks now and I didn't have to wake up at 3am once in that period! Tuesday, December 15. Other b...

http://minibeanie.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 29. My 25 yo knows more about cars than me! Mini-b is a petrol-head just like his dad ;) He probably knows all the makes and our favourite activity on the ride back from school is to identify cars on the road. And the condo carpark is a close contender with the playground as his favourite place to be outside. Let's see, h. E knows the usual sports car marques such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and of course the mor. Ntal note to check up on their logos. Damn! Wednesday, January 27. EtonH...

The Adventures of minibeanie and microbeanie: Hermit I am
http://minibeanie.blogspot.com/2010/02/hermit-i-am.html
Monday, February 8. I only have to look back 2 years ago to realize that holidays then and now are worlds apart. Literally. No more "off the beaten track" or "adventure" but hello to "kids friendly". Instead of The Rocky Resort. A parent with 2 VYC. But like a friend puts it, everyone needs a holiday. She just left for a 3 week Thai beach and KL holiday with 2 preschoolers. Maybe when these VYC become not so very VY, I can dare imagine getting out of the house again. Microbeanie is 5 months and 2 days old.
