Took the little one out today to MacDonalds to have our breakfast. I am feeling under the weather and thought the fresh air will do him some good. I tried the $2.50 meal with the "premium coffee" and he had his usual fruit + cereal. While I ate/tweet, he played with another set of parent who kept saying he's so cute and their kid had the attention halved. :p Alex loves being in MacD which makes me wonder why all kids fall prey to MacDonalds. Heh.
After my breakfast, I brought him to the MacD playground where he had a whale of time exploring the playground. He doesn't know how to play yet but he already loves this sort of play area. Are all kids the same?
Then we went to the library and I borrowed some books for us. I always made it a point to borrow books in two languages for him and one especially about God or love. :) I also borrowed yet another potty training book coz now he can understand that the potty is for poo-ing and ha twice done the deed twice in it with the diaper on. This mommy is quite proud and also bemoaning she has no life. Lolz.

Who's this strange fella behind me?
Forgot to add a mandatory cute photo of my boy for the day.
Must watch him carefully coz he can wriggle himself out of the seat belt and stand up in his high chair!
I had a total of 2 interviews last month. I thought the interviews went well and I was feeling quite confident, but I haven't hear from either companies since. :| See how things go lah.
Recently there's 2 things about the wee one that exasperates me. He refused to eat and before this food strike episode, my mil kept saying that he's shrinking. The two things are not related. I reckon he is teething or bored of his diet, so I changed his diet. He might be bored with the multigrains porridge. I changed the grains to jasmine rice and now sushi rice and he's eating again and even more. He can finish 8oz of porridge in a meal. Then I make sure he sleeps more. Bingo, can feel him getting heavier every other day.
Regarding my mil... 2 Fridays ago, we had to attend hubb's aunt's art exhibition, so I took him to my mil to help out while I can go home and prepare for the event. Since she was harping on his size, she gave him a huge chunk of fish on top of what I have cooked for him. When I picked up Alex, he threw up on me and I went to the event reeking of fish. Eversince I started my food/sleep strategy, she has stopped mentioning about his size coz I am sure she can feel the difference in weight too. Good lah. I like my son to be chubby, but I reckon there is nothing to worry about him so I am not worried at all. Comments about his size, I will take it as input, but I just don't like to be nagged at and even be undermined whether I am doing a good job as a mother.
