Yen Li & Xiao Xuan came over to our place just now after dinner as Xiao Xuan wanted to play with Daryl. While they were playing, Yen Li & I did some catching up.
After a while, my sticky boy came over to the sofa where Yen Li & I were sitting so that he can snuggled up to me. Yen Li asked him, "Di di, where's Papa?" Do you know what he answered? He replied, "Papa work work..." I was very surprised as it was the 1st time that I heard him said that.
Whenever Kel is out for an appt at night, Daryl would sometimes asked me, "Papa, where?" or "Daddy, where?" My reply would be, "Papa is working." or "Daddy is working." Sometimes, lazy me would just say, "Papa work work." I didn't think that he would remembered what I had said, thus I was very surprised when he replied Yen Li that.
This reminds me that I have to be mindful of what I said around Daryl already. I don't want him to be repeating my 'colourful' language to my friends when I least expect it. :p

Daryl & Zephan
Trina & Zephan came over to our house in the morning just now as she needs to pick up the California Baby Calming Shampoo & Body Wash from me. As she's on leave today, we decided to let the 2 boys play together for a while.
Zephan is so cute... When they arrived, I held out my hand to guide him into our house. He was so trusting that he actually held my hand when he came in. It was so heartwarming as Daryl would never do that with a stranger. When he entered the house, he released my hand & went straight into Daryl's play yard to play with the toys inside. Trina was laughing as she said that Zephan is very "automatic".
Just then, Daryl woke up. Thus, Kel went to feed & change him. After that, he came out to check out our guests. He took a while to warm up. Initially he was just standing outside the play yard watching Zephan play. After a while, he went into the play yard tentatively & started to play together with Zephan. I think that they had a great time judging by the pics.
Trina & Zephan had to leave about 1 hour later as Trina had to run some errands. Daryl was a little bit reluctant to see them leave. Let's hope that they can drop by again soon.

All's Well
Daryl's fever had subsided yesterday morning when he woke up. However, we are still keeping our fingers crossed that it stays that way.
This morning, when we woke up, we discovered that Daryl's fever did not returned. Therefore, we concluded that it had run its course already. However, he's been very sticky to me these 2 days still. Kel was saying that he probably still don't feel that well, thus we should monitor him & see how.
Wish me luck...

Da Yi's Birthday
Today is Pris's birthday. To celebrate her birthday, we decided to meet for lunch & shopping at Vivocity. She wanted to bring my mum to Vivocity to have a look as my mum had not been there since its opening.
When Daryl woke up, it seems that he had gotten up from the wrong side of the bed. He was crying when he woke up instead of his smiley self. Hmm... that's not a very good start to our day. I had to carry him so that he would stopped crying. When I had to leave our room to attend to my client's call, he cried even louder. Kel & Asty couldn't pacify him at all. He only stopped when I came back into the room & carried him. He's such a mummy's boy... :p
As we need to shower Daryl, we took off his pyjamas & diaper. He protested very loudly when we did that. When we shower him, he cried. He only stopped when I carried him in my lap after his shower. Then Kel decided to comb his hair to distract him. The result...
Pris wanted to have lunch @ Sushi Tei, thus we decided to meet at the entrance. When she & my mum reached the entrance at about 11.15am, they found out that they were too early as Sushi Tei only opens at 11.30am. Therefore, they decided to go out of the building to look at the seaview. It was there where we found them when we arrived. Since it was still early, we decided to take some pics.
Pris, me, Daryl & Mum. See Daryl's koala bear's pose...
Daryl & Kel
Then it was time to have lunch already. While waiting for our food, we took some pics again.

Lunch at Sushi Tei was horrible! They actually forgot about our order for our main courses. Can you believe that? They only realised it when we complained about how late our main courses are. The customers at the tables beside us who came in later than us are already finishing their main courses wherelse ours have not even arrived yet. To top it off, the attitude of the manager whom we complained to sucks big time. Thus, we decided to award Sushi Tei a spot in our "List of Banned Eating Places".
Halfway through our lunch, Mum brought Daryl out to walk so that we can have our lunch in peace. When we finished our lunch, they were still not back yet. So we waited... & waited... & waited... Then we got worried as it's been a while already. We were afraid that Mum would be lost. We decided to ask for the bill & went to search for them. We kinda of panicked when we couldn't find them outside the restaurant. Then I got a brainwave... Toys R Us is nearby, so I have a feeling that they would be inside.
True enough, Kel found the 2 of them inside Toys R Us. It seems that Daryl had pulled Mum inside so that he can play with the cars there. It seems that our baobei is becoming a car lover as he loves to play with cars of all sizes. Mum said that whenever Daryl saw a car, he would stopped & played with it for a while. The funniest thing is, when he got tired of playing with a particular car, he would actually put it back in its orginal place when my mum asked him to do so. Mum was very impressed!
Kat called Pris when we were at Toys R Us. She had reached Vivocity already, thus she wants to know where to meet us. Pris told her to meet us at Toys R Us. When she arrived, we went shopping. One of our stops was the Nike boutique. Daryl was in heaven there as there was a Mac PC for him to fiddle with. Here's a pic of him with Mum while he was fiddling with the PC. See how happy he is...
Our shopping was kinda of marred by Daryl coz he was quite notti today. He refused to walk & kept wanting me to carry him. When he walked, he refused to follow us or listened to our instructions. I even smacked him coz I was so fed up with him. Since he was not cooperative, we decided to cut our shopping trip short & headed for home together with Mum, Pris & Kat. Before doing that, we went shopping at Giant to pick up some groceries so that I can prepare dinner for them later.
During dinner, I was complaining to Mum about how notti Daryl is. She said something which got me thinking. She replied that Daryl is not even 2 years old, thus I can't expect him to be well behaved as he doesn't even know what is considered good behaviour. Mum got me thinking whether I am asking for too much from Daryl. With this thought, I resolved to be more patient with Daryl even though he drives me up the wall at times.
At about 7.15pm, Mum, Pris & Kat decided to leave for home as Pris & Kat still got to work tommorrow. I hope that Pris had a nice birthday even though her nephew is such a brat. Happy Birthday!!

Daryl is Having a Fever (Part II)
Daryl's fever has not subsided at all. Worst... his temp had increased during the night. I woke up this morning at 5am to check on him. To my horror, his temp is 40.8 deg! I was horrified! I went out to the kitchen to take his medicine. Then I woke Kel up & asked him to take a basin of water so that we can sponge Daryl down. Daryl was very upset at being sponged down. In the end, we let him play with the water in the basin. By doing so, we hoped that his temp will subsided. Daryl got himself, part of our bed & his cot wet, but we didn't mind coz his temp did subsided slightly. After that, we went back to sleep.
I woke up again at 9.30am. By then, Kel had already woken up & was reading the newspapers in the living room. Daryl was still sleeping soundly, probably due to the effects of the medicine. I got out of bed reluctantly to shower & change so that we can bring Daryl to see Dr Chua. When we were done, Daryl still had not woken up. Seeing his angelic face when he's sleeping, we couldn't bear to wake him up, so we decided to carry him up & go out. However, by doing so, we woke him up. He looked so cute with that blury look on his face... But don't be fooled by that blury look... When we told him that we are going out, he immediately perked up & even waved bye bye & blow a kiss to Asty. It was so funny...
At Dr Chua's clinic, he diagnosed that Daryl is suffering from tonsillitis which is causing his fever. On top of that, he also got a sore throat. No wonder Daryl doesn't have much of an appetite yesterday. It was so bad that he doesn't even want to drink his milk. Dr Chua prescribed paracetamol, antibotics & cough medicine for Daryl. We asked Dr Chua how did he fall sick. Dr Chua's reply is that viruses are very prevalent in the air these days, thus people with low immune systems then to get sick easily. As kids' immune system is not that strong, therefore, they fall sick easily. That was not very reassuring to hear. We can't possibly cooped Daryl at home the whole time. Well, we just have to take 1 step at a time...
After seeing Dr Chua, we went back home so that Daryl can rest. I am keeping my fingers & toes crossed that he'll recover soon.
