It’s Hammer Time!

Got hold of this hammer-like toy when I was back in Sitiawan at Ah Por and Ah Kung’s house. I wonder what the future holds for me?

Will I be a judge?
Will I be a carpenter?
Will I be Thor?
Will I be an MC?

Till then, it’s now hammer time! Wee!

Strange Sightings: Hanging Gators

Felt it quite weird to see these cute gators being hung upside down in Ikea. It's like they were punished or something. hehe. Ah well...

Caught in the Act!

Happy Birthday Papa!!

I know that you would want this for your birthday this year...


...but since I'm just a baby, I will instead give you one of my irresistible smiles....

Thanks for everything, Papa! I love you!! :-D

Parenting Tip: Old Macdonald – Papa’s Extended Version

Of all the nursery rhymes that have been sung to me, one of my favourites is Old Macdonald – one of the few songs which never fails to calm me down when I’m crying or demanding for attention.

However, since the song isn’t very long by nature, Papa has thrown in a few more animals into the song so that it becomes an extended version that can last for up to about 20 minutes of playtime! I kid you not! Hee!

I would like to share this extended version with everyone today, thinking it may be a helpful song for other parents who may need to sing the song longer than it usual length.

Old Macdonald had a farm

E-I-E-I-O

And on his farm he had some dogs

E-I-E-I-O

And a here, and a there

Here there , everywhere

Old Macdonald had a farm

E-I-E-I-O

Repeat, replacing animal sounds in <…..> appropriately:

Cats – Meow

Cows – Moo

Ducks – Quack

Geese – Cackle

Hens – Cluck

Worms – Squirm

Pigs – Oink

Birds – Chirp

Bees – Buzz

Frogs – Ribid

Flies – Zzzz

Horse – Neigh

Sheep – Baa

Goat – Mek

Snakes – Sssss

Monkeys – Hoo

Donkeys – Heehaw

Rabbits – Hop

Roosters – Cockcrow

Gophers – Dig

Rats – Squeak

Lions – Roar

Rhinos – Gore

More Dogs – Woof, woof woof…

More Cats – Meow, meow meow…

Etc.

End:

Old Macdonald had a farm

E-I-E-I-O

And on his farm he had Collin

E-I-E-I-O

And a poop poop here, and a poop poop there

Here poop there poop, everywhere poop poop

Old Macdonald had a farm

And it’s a smelly farm…

Come to think of it, considering the number of animals in the song, we could also replace farm with zoo! Hee!

I’m NO. 1!

I simply cannot control my fingers!! There seems to be a strange tendency for my first finger or the pointing finger to stick out from the rest, indicating a No. 1 sign….or it could also mean a ‘blame someone else’ sign.

Not sure if it is a good thing or not. Hmmmm. Hey, at least I got the right finger to be pointing out right? :-P

Alphabet Floor

Thanks to Uncle Pablo, a portion of my house floor is now laid with alphabet mat paddings, supposedly to encourage me to crawl around more and not hurting myself.

I have tried it numerous times and I must admit, it is rather fun to be crawling around the alphabets. In addition, the letters of the mat can also be dug out from their positions and tastes quite good too.:-)
