…Hubby’s plane left for Hongkong. He’ll catch a connecting flight to Frankfurt then finally to his destination, Stavanger,Norway. It was sad yet bearable considering Ozzy was there to keep me occupied.

Logging off early today because I need to catch up on my work. Was on leave the whole morning. Aside from that, I have a major headache and slight fever which I have been nursing since Monday.

Hope your day went better than mine.

^_^

Pictures taken over the weekend. A photo post.

{Here’s a pic of Ozzy enjoying his bike, a gift from his paternal grandparents!}

He looks so happy noh? The night he got that bike, he refused to stop playing. We had to force him to sleep which involved kicking & crying. The next morning he quickly looked for his bike to make sure it was not a dream.

{Here’s a pic of Ozzy playing with his train, Thomas Percy (thanks Kel!). We were heading to lunch with my inlaws}

Notice my boy’s slight tilt in the head when posing? hahaha…

Happy 2nd Birthday Ozzy!

Dear Joshua,

A year older, a year wiser huh, baby? Mommy & Daddy want you to know that we love you very much. You are the best gift we ever received and everyday you make us very proud. Be a good boy and remember to obey your parents because as hard as it may seem at times, we only want what’s best for you. That’s right, eat your veggies and sleep early.

We love you so so much.

Mom&Dad.

Chi’s VISA was approved today. Yey, that’s exactly 14 days from his submission of the application. We were expecting it next week, but great that it has come earlier.

The next step would be purchasing the ticket. We already have his insurance card so no problem there. It would take 3 working days to stamp the VISA so +fingers crossed+ we are hoping there would no longer be any delays. His start date was already moved several times. At first it was June 02, now it’s August 4. He will be working abroad for 9 months.

I am still a happy camper for now because we can still spend time as a family for exactly 1 month. Which brings me to the big occasion coming up aside from Chi’s leaving. In 10 days we will be celebrating Ozzy’s terrific 2nd birthday. Yup, yup! The boy is officially terrible talented.

Initially we planned a kiddie party in Jollibee but decided against it mainly because Ozzy has a few ‘kid’ friends and most of the guests would be grown ups, so why push it right? We’ll have a proper kiddie party in the proper time. For now we’ll just have a simple gathering.

I’m already shopping around for great baby gifts! I’m torn between clothes (practical) or a new bike.What do you think? What’s a great gift for a two(2) year old?

Last week started dreadful. Ozzy got sick, high fever + rashes. Fortunately for him it was not measles and now he’s perfectly fine. BUT those 3 days were so tiring for me. Little boy was extra clingy and would not eat. He lost 1.5kgs in 3 days.

The end of the week proved to be better for us. Josh finally got the documents he was waiting for from Norway to be submitted to the Consul for his VISA Application. Now, all we have to do is wait. Wait for his application to be approved..or (gasp!) denied.

*TODAY 6/20/2008* is officially his 1st day without work. So, we are +hoping+ his VISA will be approved. Please keep you fingers crossed people.

Updates on the little boy:

• He can now say his full first name “josh (pause) wah” (Joshua) & not just Ow-wah.
• Prefers ice cubes ti ice cream.
• He bites his nails. (ask!) I cut it short but he keeps on trying! I notice he bites it when he is bored.
• His bath time is crazy, sometimes he loves it sometimes I have difficulty in persuading him to take a bath!! Weird.
• He naps once a day instead of twice, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon. (gotta establish a new schedule for this, I think it’s better he sleep in the afternoons,right?)
• Loves to imitate what we are saying. When we watch Wheel of Fortune he shouts the letters whenever contestants say them.

Generally, his vocabulary is fast expanding & getting better. We can easily understand what he wants & what he doesn’t want. At least with this we can lessen his tantrums because he is understood. Although…he is a bit stubborn and would insist on his way thus resulting to a few “crying” and a bit of shouting.

That’s it for last weeks highlights. I seem to have lost mojo in blogging..I think it’s because I don’t have tasks. Teehee. Hoping for more tasks next week.

Rest & Recreation. That was the highlight of my week last week. The long weekend was what made us decide to check-in a nearby resort & just have fun all weekend.

This is a photo-post. Photo’s speak for themselves.

Saturday Afternoon : We spent it in the beach. Ozzy hated the sand. But he was game enough to “pretend” to enjoy it for us.
