Some weeks ago, Declan’s school was bringing the kids through on the topic of Pets. Along with the discussion, each kid was allowed to bring a terrapin home for a day and parents were to teach and help the kids to care for the little fellow. Frankly, I fear for the poor little terrapin that was circulated among the households. I wondered whether it survived in the end. It did survived through our household though. So if it did pass on, it’s not us!! We took good care of it!! Just that the car ride home maybe a bit too bumpy..
Weeks later, Declan suddenly popped the golden question.
Dec : Mummy… may I get a pet?
Me : What pet do you have in mind?
Dec : I want a hamster.
Me : hmmmm I don’t think we’ve got time to take good care of it at this moment darling. Probably not now. Maybe when you are a bit older we can discuss on this again.
Dec : But I really would like a pet mummy…..
Me : Next time ok?
With this, he shifted away from me and rolled towards Kenji. (We were all lazing on the bed, that explained the rolling.) He patted Kenji on the head.
Dec : Ok.. then Kenji will be my pet!
He continued to pat Kenji on the head and then moved in front of him and still patting him…
Dec : Hello pet!!
-_-” I didn’t know whether to laugh or to remind him that the little clueless fellow is supposed to be his baby brother and not his pet….
Talking about that little chap, he had achieved yet another milestone. From crawling, he had now learnt to pull himself up to a standing position. He is not cruising yet. He’ll usually pull himself up and stand still till someone come to his rescue.
He is seen in the above pic standing while pinching from his korkor’s dinner. This chap is a real foodie. Ohh yah, he’s got his first little cute pearlie as well!! I know it’s late. He is just like his brother, both my boys are pretty late when it comes to teething. No more toothless smiles… sigh… I love to see his toothless smiles with him just flashing his gums… My baby is growing too fast.. In less than a month’s time, He’ll be one..
That’s okay. It’s cheaper to have Kenji as a pet then to have a real pet. At least, no extra accessories needed. Hahaha.
heehee, Kenji’s a pet!!!
Dec’s clever lor, having Kenji as a pet, he will only play with HIS PET, the taking care part, Mummy does it…..kekekeke
wah, Kenji’s turning ONE in a month’s time…….haiz….time does fly…..but he’s doing very well…..considering he’s not even one yet! NI (3) XING (1) Ku (3) Le!
hehehee… Declan really creative hor… can even think that his brother as pet. He must be really looking forward to have one in future when u say OK! He willl be very happy then.
U have been such wonderful mum to your boys!
Haha! Cheeky Declan treat didi as a pet!
Wonder why all kids like to have hamster… My kids have been asking too but worried end up I will be the one taking care of it.
I love seeing toddlers with a few pearlies. Take more pic of Kenji and post it up ya

Hahha…your Declan is really cute! So does he take good care of his ‘pet’? kekeke…
