19 Months

It's a challenging time at 19 months. Joshua's molar teeth are coming. He is irritating and hasn't been eating well lately. Brushing teeth is a battle. Josh also started running nose and coughing last night. He has been waking up at nighttime due to teething or congestion. Out of nowhere he got sick. Poor Josh should have caught a cold when being taken to the car at the carport early in the morning. Mommy usually bundles Josh up when taking him to por por on weekday mornings. But the wind has been strong lately... *sigh*

Mommy has been stressed out at work. FDA picked this time of the year to come in and it is expected they will stay for a month. Everyone has to standby. Holiday mood has been suppressed by extra workload. According to Murphy's Law, mommy had a neck sprain and pain in the heel onset on the same day. Trips were made to the chinese chiropractor on top of the hectic schedule. Cupping therapy was applied on mommy's neck and shoulder that left visible marks... mommy just hoped the marks will fade away soon...

And the HK trip is coming in two weeks... packing should be started soon.... mommy has to be in good condition physically to get Joshua around in the kids-unfriendly city.

And mommy hasn't started Christmas shopping yet...

Fire Engine coming to town!

At Nicholas' 3rd Birthday Party, a real (retired) Fire Engine was called for the kids, who were all excited hovering around the big engine. The kids even got a chance to spray water as a Firefighter. The mothers/fathers were equally excited as the kids too...
