The first time we went to the Zoo.. was on Mommy's B'day (12 Feb). We are back at the Zoo again. this time, it's the Triplets B'day!!! woot!
This time at the Zoo, we had a a few friends with us. Leonard and Family was there.. and Alexander with his daughter. We even met Mark Wong and Family as well as Peter and his family. Again, we did not manage to spend more time there as the kids were getting tired (11am to 2pm) and the weather was threatening to rain with thunder.
We left the Zoo about 2pm while Leo stayed behind till 5+ (he was caught in the rain...)
The Zoo somehow seems smaller that what I remembered 20 years ago.. maybe we were young then and something this "big" was relative then. Take a walk down town.. that's what I call BIG.
The kids are starting to walk with Jillian showing signs of being the first one... the other two could still do it before Jillian.. will see how that goes. In terms of size, Joanne is leading the pack with Jillian and Jared a little behind. Jared is rather picky on the food he eats so we need to top-up with other stuff. The PD said that their weight is in the normal zone..not too fat nor too thin so we are ok with that. In terms of bite, Jared has teeth like Jaws and Jillian has only 1.. with another one soon on the way. Joanne is somewhere in the middle....
They are also more vocal now... learning to shout and gesture to get your attention. Joanne has the honour to get labeled "Super-Glue" as she loves to cling to me. Once she sees me, I can't escape.. I have to show her some attention. The other two are not as enthusiastic as she is.. but when they start to cling.. they come all together. ;-)
We also bought them more toys... and I like to get them Mega-Blocks. This is one particular toy that you can mix and match and always come up with something different which is what the kids yearn for. They get bored with a particular toy and would look at whoever is holding on to and want that instead. It's interesting to see how they want things. Joanne is pretty strong-willed when it comes to things she wants. Jared and Jillian would often give in to her. In some occasions though, they do get into "who can cry the hardest" to settle who gets what they want.. and often, we will give it to the winner. We are always trying to get them to share but I guess they are still a little young to know that.. but we will keep trying...
How time flies... (or it seems.. now that we are here) the kids just reached the 1 yr old mark. Soon, they will be asking for ipods (or whatever is in fad then) and soon after.. they will be getting married.
Point being.. enjoy your parenting and enjoy your life.
Luv,
mommy and daddy
