Last Sunday was the opening ceremony of the sandpit. Hee Juan ordered the sand and we wait patiently for the it to arrive at 3pm. After the sand was dropped off at the drive way, the 2 daddies (Hee Juan and Liam, our neighbour) had a taste of what coolies feel like. They have to shovel the sand into buckets and transfer it to the sandpit. After awhile, Hee Juan was perspiring for the first time.
The kids stood by eagerly for the sandpit to be filled up, getting ready their sand play toys and standing around trying to help.
Finally the last bucket of sand went in and before any signal was given for the kids to start, they were already busy digging in the sand.
As we bought the washed sand, they were still quite wet and needless to say, the children have sand all over them in no time.

Daddy, 'care-pull'
It has been more than 3 weeks since our last post. Time really flies. Out of those few weeks, we had the grandparents visiting. Matthew managed to master how to say 'Gong Gong' and 'Grandma' before they arrived. Before that, he was saying 'Gng Gng' and 'Ma Ma'. He certainly enjoyed himself during those 2 weeks, as 'Mr OK' (Grandpa) was here. Everything is ok and can do when grandpa is around. They also enjoyed themselves alot as Matthew has picked up alot of words and is able to communicate better.
We bought a shelf from Ikea last week, and only managed to piece it up 2 days ago. During the construction, Hee Juan hurt himself and got a scratch from the sharp corner of the shelf. I was checking with him yesterday about the wound, and Matthew was also very concerned. He kept pointing to the wound and said, 'Daddy pain pain', and then at the end, he added 'care-pull!'. Which means 'careful' in his yet-to-be-perfect English. After that, he smiled. He can be such a darling sometimes. I think he has began to be more aware of feelings now. For eg, whenever we just let out an 'Ouch', he will say, 'Mummy/Daddy pain pain', then he will come and sayang us by touching us on the head.
