Big Kids Now

Now that the children are both older than 2 years of age, it has become easier to bring them around. We don't really need the stroller as they mostly are able to walk by themselves. Joash has been able to go without a nap during the day for a while now. Only Jayna needs short power naps on either of our shoulders when she gets tired.

Me and my huge 'watermelon'

Jayna is getting stronger each day. (At least we know where all the food she ate went to... Hee hee .... For the past half a year, she has been eating more than Joash!!!) I was pleased to see her able to hang onto the monkey bar purely by the strength of her arms. Good job, my darling girl!

Now that we no longer have the car over the weekend, we're taking the public transport to get around instead, much to the children's delight. Joash is already tall enough to need a child EZ link card. We went to buy a card-holder for him and he chose blue. (Why am I not surprised?) Jayna wanted one even though she has no need for it for at least another year but we got a red one for her anyway.

Joash was so excited about tapping the card by himself that he kept bugging me to take the train again after we've reached the destination. In the end, we humored him by taking the bus home despite being near enough to walk back. He kept saying that he is a big boy now while pulling out the retractable portion. He grinned widely as he repeated to me what I said about the card being valid for either train or bus ride since the picture shows the two mentioned vehicles. Haha...

Notice the device hanging
from his shirt's neckline?

Jayna: "Hmm... Why isn't there a card in mine?"
