Swim Lessons

Charlie started new swim lessons today at AquaDucks. He was doing swim lessons before that were very much like playgroup in the water. Lots of singing and playing, but there was not a lot of learning how to swim. Today at AquaDucks I was SO impressed with the skills they are teaching them at such a young age. They start the class with just dunking the kids and by the end of the class they are actually pushed under water and they momentarily "swim" on their own. Charlie absolutely loved it, he had a smile throughout the whole class. So looking forward to going every week and seeing him progress. The class is in the afternoon but Justin will do the class with Charlie whenever he can. I am very lucky to have a husband that has such a flexible schedule and wants to be so involved with his son.

Happy Valentines Day!

Charlie wishes you a Happy Valentine's day in his monkey pajamas. His expressions these days are priceless. Thank you Auntie Sissy for the pj's.

Traditionally Justin cooks for me on Valentine's. He made an amazing Carbonara for dinner. I have never tried Carbonara pasta before and it did not disappoint. He made a Jamie Oliver recipe that had yellow and green zucchinis in it so you felt like it was a little healthier than the normal dish. It was delicious!By the way, this was me last V day flipping crepes for our crepe Suzette dessert. Little did we know Charlie would grace us with his presence the coming weekend. I was huge. Like, woah.

In need of a smile?

You're welcome. :)

We have a walker!

Charlie can walk! Well assisted, but nonetheless is walking around the house now. He can not steer very well yet but we are working on it.

Justin just got home from two trips away! It feels like it has been FOREVER. It is no joke taking care of a kid on your own, and I have some help, but he is a tiring little fellow these days. And let's face it, it is just more fun with Dus around. We are both so happy to have Daddy back!

Brusha brusha brusha

Charlie loves playing with our electric toothbrushes so I bought him his own kid electric toothbrush today. He absolute LOVES it. So cute watching him use it.The only problem is he likes it too much that I had a really hard time taking it away from him.Such a funny little man, he loves vegetables and brushing his teeth. Could be worse I guess?

Cate's Birthday

The Jackson's last day in Singapore was beautiful Cate's birthday. We celebrated at their hotel with a lovely lunch, cake and swimming. The girls just had manicures and pedicures in their room before lunch! So fun.

Their kids are so sweet with Charlie, they all bring him things and play with him. Stuart and Justin were like one of the kids in the pool, chasing the girls and dunking everyone.

Chinese New Year

Yesterday was Chinese New Year. We celebrated with my mom's group today. All the kids were decked out in their Chinese gear and looking adorable.
