Rachel and Kenneth

These days, Kenneth is extra sticky. Even if I am just 3 metres away from him, he will make a lot of noise. And then since hubby wants his dinner the minute he comes home, I need to juggle the kids and cooking. So, out comes the unused kitchen utensils, and they will play on the kitchen floor while I cook.....

It's quite obvious Rachel loves her lil brother. and vice versa. She helps a great deal with the boy. she helps fetch things for me while I breastfeed, she plays with him, she feeds him water when I have my hands full...etc.... But the two of them have this love to "fight for each other's toys". When he's playing with something, she wants to play with the same toy. When she is zooming around the house with her toy car, he wants HER toy car... It's difficult sometimes for me to hold back and let them fight over the same toy. Most of the time, I naturally just ask Rachel to let Kenneth have whatever they are fighting over. But then, I know I should not do that all the time. Kenneth should learn how to share and let go as well.

She still loves posing. And whether it's a sippy cup or a normal cup, Kenneth can hold and tip the cup and drink quite well. I have started trying him out on formula. He does not like it. So, if I fill the cups with water, he loves it. But if it's formula, he refuses to drink. I guess weaning him off my breasts is not an option yet....

He still loves to play with the phone. Two front teeth has started sprouting. YOu can see them on his lower gums. The doctor said his fever last week might be due to him teething as well. I shudder at the thought of him biting me with those teeth during feeding time...

They love this game their daddy plays with them...."sitting in the train". It's a way to contain Kenneth as well....when I need to go grab a quick shower. Daddy does this to make his bb-sitting time easier....
