Letter to Immanuel, Reiko And Ariel #225 and #7 Celebrating Imm 8th bday, Ariel's Smiles, Ko Spontaneity
Hi Imm, Ariel and Ko!!How time flies, as mummy is writing this, it is less than 2 weeks countdown to the end of my maternity leave. But I am glad to be spending such precious time with all of you. And we also celebrated finish all the birthdays for this year. :) The last one is Imm's bday! You wanted your friends to come over so we agreed on 3 friends. You wrote your invitation cards for them - primarily, the goal of the party is to exchange pokemon cards.. hahaa.. This was you on your actual bday! cos we celebrated it one day later..
Daddy put this together very quickly after I reminded him to. I was surprised that he sent it abt ten minutes later... amazing!
We didn't need elaborate stuff and Auntie Vika made some simple cupcakes for you and your friends.
David was the first who came! His mum said that half an hr before the party, he was standing by the door with the present..
With Matthew Ed!
With Kadyn, the boy who sits beside you in class...
we planned a slime activity for you and your friends. It was really fun, except when it got onto the rug or ko spilled some over the dress... there were lots of gasps and oh my gawd moments
Singing the bday song for you.. you commented that it was the happiest day of your life. Dear Imm, I am so happy of how well you have grown. I was rather surprised at how you were rather assertive with your friends too, which is gd I think.
Before the party.. we were shopping at popular to get a present for Kadyn. You commented that you like these books.. hmm..
We also celebrated Godsister Sophie birthday that weekend. You named the balloon made for you "Blup Bub" which Mummy was pretty amused at.
Ko too! with her butterfly. But one part burst before we got home... much to her disappointment.
A photo with everyone!
Actually that month we also kinda celebrated Daddy's bday. He had a long working day, so we surprised him with a cake instead. A small moment. Both Imm and Ko drew cards for Daddy.
Ko: Mummy tried to spend more time doing things with you and also helping you to be more independent.. washing shoes time! You commented that mummy didn't do with you and I was pretty upset cos I was doing it and later also baked with Imm. Oh dear, I needed to have 4 hands.. and soon 6 cos of Ariel.. hehe..
Oh! We visited Auntie Diana and you had such fun with Katelyn! Auntie Diana prepared a nice dinner for us. It was a good catch up.
Ko drew a nice drawing for Daddy - a cruise ship. Always amazed by her creativity :)
Making funny faces together because we just wanted to.
The 3 siblings together!
Ariel:
We started using the Manduca to carry you. Daddy looked so happy and contented to be doing that :)
A pic with big bro!
And also Uncle Justin.
Pong pong time!
we also met up wth Auntie Becky, whom we haven't meet for a long time!
Mummy had nice breakfast with popo... during this time she was just abt to go for her spine operation.
As of today, she is at rehab hospital now, recovering. Hope she recovers and come back home soon!!
