Joel's First Word

We are currently in Perth for a shirt holiday. Staying at my sis' as usual and having a super laid back holiday, not doing much, just the daily necessaries.

Today at lunch, Joel muttered his first word - BANANA. Everyone cheered as though we won lotto. It was funny. Joel has come so far...I love him to bits...

Zachary and Anne bicker every single day but at the same time, enjoy each other's company.

Dave is going cycling again today. I guess his legs, arms and butt are calling out for torture...well, as long as he enjoys himself.

As for me, it's a tiring holiday. On top of Joel, I've still got to cook and wash. It's really tiring. Part of me wants to come back, part of me wants to stay back in Singapore and enjoy the luxury of a helper at home. Do I want to come back more or stay back more...COME BACK!

Zac's first night toilet visit all by himself

Today is the second last day of school for year 1. Zachary has progressed so much since he first started school in Norway. I am so proud of his achievements to date. I wish he would stop getting older and older so quickly.

Today or should I say 14th December 2016 was his first night going to the toilet on his own without asking us to accompany him. He walked to the bathroom, switched on the lights, used the toilet, washed his hands, switched off the lights and walked back to his room again all by himself.

Words cannot express how proud I am of him although I am forever rushing him, scolding him, telling him not to do this and that and telling him to do this and that. He has done so well this year in 1CU and I know that he will keep doing his best in years to come. 

I love this boy to bits and I believe in him. I believe that he will achieve everything he sets out to do and excel. I pray that God keep him healthy and strong, happy and kind always and forever. I love you Zac!
