Jedi and the Green Bean

This is the result of some green bean seeds that Jedi threw into an empty pot of soil. The green beans were from school and he came back with one green bean seedling. We just left the beans there and Jedi would faithfully water them after his school when he came home. Guess his love for his little plant paid off! Its has grown really well and has begun budding green bean pods too!

The funniest thing was that he kept telling me "Daddy put SALIVA in my plant!". And when his Daddy protested his innocence, Jedi was insistent and said "Yes you did Daddy! It was black in colour!" That left us really perplexed! What kind saliva is black and why would Dan spit inside??? Then we realized he was trying to pronouce the word "FERTILIZER" !

Now I have a new veggie to try and cook!

Driving in my cart with my sis!

Look what I bought from IKEA! Jedi and Krisa having a whale of a time in the shopping cart. That was good coz Dan and I could shop in peace. Krisa especially looks in seventh heaven!

Jedi accepted Christ today!

Today Jedi recieved Christ!

We decided to let him try Sunday PreSchool again as I had been having a hard time convincing him to stay alone a couple of months back and in the end always had to stay with him trhoughout together with Krisa. Was tough as I couldn't attend service while Dan was teaching Sunday School for the older kids. So Sundays were kind of stressful for me as had to handle the two of them in the church cry room alone.

Today we decided to just try again and we brought him up and I told him firmly that he was a big boy now and that he has to go to Sunday School on his own. I told him that we would pick him up when it ended. I gave him a kiss and said bye. But being the wory wart that I am, I took a peek at him after I left to see him happily settling down and most importantly not crying!

Hooray! I finally could attend service in peace and just handle Krisa and not both of them at one go!

He had a great time as he came out beaming with a chocolate biscuit in his hand and some art and craft. Food is always the way to a man's heart even from a young age?

The best part was when we were told by the Preschool teacher that Jedi had come forward on his own when they asked who would like to recieve Christ. She said she was pleasantly surprised as this was his first time and he had been brave to just step forward.

Dan and I were saying that even though he may be too young to really understand the whole concept, one is never too young to accept the Lord into his heart. A childlike faith is after all what the Lord really wants. Simple and trusting. On our part we have to continue to nurutre this little faith in our daily interactions with him and even by our examples.

Lord bless this little heart. :)

September Hols

This Spetember Hols we decided to do something different as a family. We realized we have been bringing the kids to too much indoor enterntainment like shopping and not wanting to breed shopping kings and queens, we decided to let them have other avenues of fun. First up was "Thomas and Friends" show at Expo which Jedi has been waiting to see for ages and ages! We enjoyed a loooooooong MRT ride from CCK all the way down and had a quick bite and some walking around before going for the show. The souvenirs for sale were SUPER expensive like a light stick cost $15 bucks and posters were the same price too! So we didn't get any but guess Jedi had a good deal as Dan decided to surprise him with a Sodor Airport set on sale there.... hee rather contradictory though as we didn't want to succumb to buying the memorabila! Krisa surprisingly enjoyed herself and kept clapping and dancing to the music throughout the show while Jedi was so star-struck that Thomas came to life that he just sat there in utter awe!

So to end off the hols we took a family outing to Chinese Gardens to see the lanterns. Dan gave Jedi a quick nature talk on bullfrogs that we heard along the way there and the sound really made my hair stand on end though!!! The kids loved the lights and sounds and utterly enjoyed themselves so it was nice to see them all smiley and happy at the end of the day.

Jedi was pooped! But Mei Mei was still high on energy! She really needs little sleep! *sigh*
