alan's toilet trained

i don't have a photo for this, but at 19 months of age, alan is officially toilet trained.

he is able to tell us in advance that he needs to wee or poo, and he is able to wait for us to quickly take him to the bathroom and take off his pants before he does the wee or poo.

well done, alan!

alan can draw a circle

omg!  alan is able to draw circles at barely 19.5 months of age!  

look at the above picture - the two dark ones on the left are what i drew, and alan follow suit, and drew the two smaller ones next to my circles, and all the rest!  

i don't know about other kids, but just the other day, my mom complained that i couldn't draw a circle at the age of 3, so i just think, "whoa!  alan is so much smarter than i!"

lucy's 29th birthday

it was my birthday last wednesday, 28th Sept and to my big surprise, bryan got me a kindle!  whoa!  i'd been wanting to get a kindle ever since its release like almost 2 years ago.

alan grabbed the knife with lightening speed and tried to cut my cake.  but i, the birthday girl, had to do the first cute!

here's alan enjoying mom's birthday cake.  he loved it!

and after he made a mess on his face, everyone wanted to have a picture with him.

as far as i could remember, this was the first time i spent my birthday with my mom.
