FATHER'S DAY TOMORROW
Its Father's Day tomorrow. Nothing much planned but bringing my parents out in the morning for a while, seems like we are going to shop for a wok & going marketing, haha ... so interesting right! I got some small (albeit cheap) gifts & ang-pow to pass my Dad & hubby, so hope they will like it. Will update soon!
Meanwhile, Happy Father's Day to all the hardworking Daddies out there! Especially, to my wonderful hubby, Steven ... one of the best Daddies I know (haha! yeah I know ... I'm biased). Ryan is one lucky kid to be blessed with such a loving & caring father. God did justice! I am lucky to have him in my life & I can't thank him enough for being the great hubby & daddy. I know he tries his best, every day & I know that one day, with patience & peserverance ... he will be the success he so desires, for his family. Lots of hugs & kisses ... from your ever grateful wife.

RANDOM PICS & UPDATE
Here's Ryan with his Daddy, enjoying the first meal of the day. Most weekends Ryan will request for his favourite "tata" (prata). We indulge our child coz when a fussy eater requests for any meal, his parents are happy to follow suit. I know prata isn't the healthiest of food but any parent of a fussy-eating child will vouch for, is that we take whatever comes. When my child eats something I buy bulks of it or let him eat his lot (eventhough we do try to restrict his prata & milkshakes to weekends treats only). I am still trying my best to introduce more variety of food for Ryan but its been an uphill task.
Some success these couple of weeks have been - frozen hash browns & fish fingers (lightly pan-fried with extra virgin olive oil), boiled quail eggs, cheats home-made pizza (using frozen pita bread, smeared with spaghetti sauce & served with whatever toppings of desire + cheese), fried Maggie "mee goreng" using just a smidgen of seasoning, home-made boiled mash potatoes with carrots & broccoli.
I am still trying to be creative & will try to add more to his menu. I know that frozen stuff ain't the most healthy but I just do what I can. Bah to those mummies who think that only fresh stuff should be served to kids. We are a family on a very tight budget & with limited resources, you try to be creative or you just die trying. I am reading up a lot on kids meals & borrowing tonnes of cookbooks to pick-up to some recipes to try out for the family. I hope I will have some success to report in the future. Meanwhile, I am just trying out whatever I can. Next week, I will try instant waffles on Ryan. Fruits are still rejected - oranges, apples, grapes ... only local longan are eaten by Ryan. Also trying to think of new stuff, to introduce ...
Daddy, cooling down the tea, that juniour always insist on sipping.
Hurry up, Papa! Me thirsty!
A hand for Mummy!
Playing with his fork & spoon.
Peace ... for the day!
I feed you some air, Papa!
At the nearby kid's playground.
Looking cute!
I'm making a wish ... to play forever!
Hey! My wish came true ... I'm still here!
