My Little Firefighter is 3!

Beanie's 3rd birthday wish -  A visit to the Fire Station!

It is definitely the best birthday gift for Beanie!  So often we read book about fire engines, the ladder, hydrants etc...  Nothing beats experiencing the REAL stuffs!  My kiddos can't stopped talking about it! Haha...

When they found out it was Beanie's birthday today, they were so sweet to go the extra mile to make it more memorable for him!  I said that coz not sure does everyone get to do these on open house day?!  They sang birthday song for him and gave my kids lots of goodies, including fireman raincoats and 3 fireman helmets!

A BIG THANK YOU to all the officers for making Beanie's birthday so special!  Thank you all for spending time to explain to my babies and making it a wonderful experience for them!  You guys were awesome! You didn't mind us staying beyond the open house timing and let them have more than enough time to explore around!   I have to tell you what my kiddos said "you guys rocks!"

For that few hours, we were able to experience so many FIRSTs!  This was not L & Z first experience at a fire station but they told me they did not explore as many things as this time.   Of all the fire-fighting vehicles, they enjoyed the Combined Platform Ladder the most!  They had the opportunity to see how it was set up, rode on it and went up a few metres high!  

His next birthday wish - A 'fire cake' (fire engine cake)! 

I wonder where he learned that from, telling me his birthday wishes...  He has all his wishes fulfilled this time and I can't imagine what his next birthday will be like.  Hope he doesn't ask for things to have/to do that is too tough to fulfill...

It was a very BIG birthday cake!  He was so excited when he saw his fire engine cake!

In the evening we went for buffet at Changi Village Hotel.   Birthday boy dozed off on the way there and woke up later to have his meal.  

@ 36 Months

♥ Love chatting with my little one, or rather, teasing him.  His reply is often so cute!  Especially when he sounds very serious when he replies me.
Recently (1st Feb):
Me: I'm so hungry!  Can I eat you?
B: Mommy, Beanie not lunch! *serious face*  My head too big to go into your mouth!  You eat me then I can't get home! *showing me a sad face*

♥ Now that he goes to school, he has more things to tell me.  Sometimes, the teacher tells me what they did and I will ask him.  He has started learning alphabets & numbers.   The other day they did a scavenger hunt  and he was so happy that he found the number '1'.    I'm not in the hurry to teach him more actually...  I hope to teach him at his own pace and he feels like it.  Looking at how much time his siblings spent on their work,  I hope to let him enjoy as much as he can now.

♥ Besides fireman, Beanie likes policeman too.  He gets excited when he sees one.  Once (14 feb), after parking my car, we saw the police car patrolling our estate.  He hurriedly got off the car so that he can waved to them.  He also likes to explain to us what does a policeman or fireman do.  "Policeman catch the bad guy.  Fireman save the fire."

♥ (15 feb) -  Beanie gave us a shock today....  He said there's a baby in my tummy!

♥ (21 feb) - little one sweet talk to me very often.  This is one of those moments that I want to record what he said, "love mommy mouth, love mommy face, love mommy nose, love mommy 2 eyes, love mommy hands, love mommy feet...." Feel so loved...

♥ For his milk feeding, he has make better progress now.  I managed to wean him off for afternoon feed and sometimes night feed as well.   I give him fresh milk instead.   But during night time, I have to hide in the toilet so that daddy can put him to bed.   Otherwise, he will give me his most pitiful look and I will give in.  At times, he says "please" so many times that I give in too.

♥ Happy Birthday my little Beanie....  Stay cheerful as always and be happy!   We love you very much! ♥ 

Birthday Celebration @ School - Junior Fireman

 Last night, the little one packed goodie bags with the help of his siblings.

Beanie's first wish - To be a fireman!  We hunt around for the suit and was so happy to find one that fits him so well!  From the photos, you could tell how happy he was!  He can't wait to show his friends in school.

He was very shy....  But the lighted candles helped to put a smile on his face.  We didn't have to tell him what to do, he has been looking forward to blowing out the candles and cutting the cake.

He wasn't comfortable when his classmates crowd around him...  Well, he is not used to having so many people singing birthday song for him!  Honestly, we didn't have the intention to celebrate his birthday in school till the teacher asked.  I asked him if he wants to and he said yes, of coz it came with other requests (like what he wants to do for his birthday)!

His Second Wish -  To sit on the "rhino"!

Whenever I drive to LZ's school, we will pass by this small fire station post.  He's very happy if he sees the "rhino" at the usual spot.  I promised him we will go there on his birthday and see if we can take a few shots of him with his favourite vehicle.

The staffs was very nice when daddy explained to them and we were allowed to take pics!   Little one was extremely excited!  But was so shy when he saw one of the guys was there.  Nevertheless, we managed to captured a few shots of him with it!

His third birthday wish?  Hopefully we can fulfill it tomorrow!  We are so looking forward to it!

On Their Birthdays 2011

All they want to do on this special day was to spent time at the beach...   

 We had lunch at a Japanese restaurant, without daddy coz he has to work.

 Went home to get our stuffs and headed to the beach...

 A birthday 'cake' 

 Mommy had nothing better to do and 'wrote' this for them.  

 Daddy picked us and headed to a mall for more fun.  decorating cupcakes! 

 Their creation!

 They enjoyed it! 

 Again, Japanese food for dinner! 

 Back home for the real cake! 

Happy Birthday my babies!   We love you both very much! ♥

LZ's Birthday - Bowling Party

It's LZ's birthdays tomorrow and we arranged a small party for them with their close friends from school.

The kids had their lunch at Burger King.  It was kind of the manager to let us 'book' a corner at a last minutes so that all the kids could sit together.

Girls had their little corner and the boys too.

As usual, they each have their own birthday cake.  L had Smurf & Z had Angry Bird.  They wanted these so that they get to keep the figurines!  Haha!

A sweet pic of my babies!

The girls...  And L wants Beanie to be there with them.

The boys...  The boy on Z's left is his buddy since K1 and also the one that we met in Hong Kong.

Making their birthday wishes... See Beanie?  He is more excited than his siblings!  

Blowing out candles...

The kids have been waiting for this! Bowling time! Not fun at all when hubs & I have to get them ready, making sure they do not hurt themselves when playing and taking care of my little one too.

But it was worth it when we see how happy the kids were, especially my birthday babies!

This is also the FIRST time Beanie tried bowling!  He had fun too! Sitting on the floor to roll the ball at times!  Haha...

Thank you to all their friends who turned up for their birthday party and their godparents too!
