We are invited to Loverboy’s school for Christmas celebration and the children are told to dress up in Red / White or Christmas dressing theme costume for the celebration. This year, we decided to order his costume from Lazada since he has been singing songs on Santa Claus. There are a couple of DIY stations prepared by the teachers which keeps the children engaged for the hour before their performance. It is also our first-time seeing Morris performing since he was previously on Half day session in school which means he do not get to participate most of the time. Pretty engaging for the activities planned by the teachers~ THUMBS UP!

DAY ZERO where Morris suddenly had High fever of 39.2 degree Celsius. This is his first time of such high temperature and we were all overwhelmed by it. Spoken to some of my mama friends and all suggested us to feed Nurofen to bring down the temperature and continue to monitor the situation. We were glad that Nurofen works efficiently on Morris as his fever went down straight to about 37 degree Celsius. We felt something is amiss and decided to still bring him to PD the next day morning.
DAY 1 - HFMD diagnosed. We took almost 3 hours at the PD clinic before we managed to see the doctor and confirmed that it is HFMD. The fever broke after feeding of nurofen but at the same time we noticed some red spots on Morris Tan. It is very depressing as the doctor check the mouth and we see ulcers. He is very cranky today as he realize it is very painful to swallow water, latch or to drink from bottle. Rejected milk as he doesn't like chilled milk. We have to coax many times to make him drink some chilled juices. Thank god that he has a bit of appetite for food as we cooked some porridge for his meals. He tried to stay cheery but its obvious that he refuses to swallow his saliva as it is painful. Pointed out to us that it is painful and whines all the times on discomfort. The nightmare comes when we battled almost 3 hours of non-stop crying before he finally decided to sleep. And yes, that lasted barely an hour as he woke up again crying nonstop from being discomfort. When we thought that the night will end after he woke up from that hour later but we are all wrong. He woke up every hour thereafter. 2am, 3am, 4am crying uncontrollably and telling you that he is very painful. Tried nursing him but he was all too pain. Had to repeatedly do it a couple of times and encourage him before he latch on and slowly drift back to sleep. At that moment, i curse and swear at the parent who bought the affected children out to public areas for causing such pain on Morris. We are blessed to have so many people doting and loving Morris as much as we do. :) Uncle Eric, Auntie Irene and Ashton Kor kor bought a toy Mercedes-benz for Morris to play with. As we are waiting for papaTan to teach Ashton swimming at Temasek country club, Uncle Eric took the car and tried to fix it on the spot for Morris. Look at how excited he is as he understand that the gift is for him. LOL! It is really interesting to know that Morris can actually comprehend that the gift belongs to him. Sometimes it keeps me wonder what is in the mind of a toddler and how much can they absorb. There are so many things happening around him and he gets to pick them up easily. Oh well! The car is done up within minutes by the awesome Uncle Eric and there goes Morris on the wheels.
I bet he is going to ride on it daily as he returns home from GrandparentsKwan's house. HAHA! Hello little precious, i have a sudden thought and feel like writing to you what are your common behaviors at this stage in life! You are currently 3 months old and now, you are at the stage of babbling while making different sounds. Sometimes, you sounded like you are whining over a lot of things that we don't know about. Sometimes, you have your mouth open in a "oo" manner where you seek for our attention. You have also developed your self-soothed methods by putting your fists or fingers into your mouth. Chuk Chuk Chuk out loudly is what you usually enjoys doing which unfortunately your GrandmaTan doesn't like it and ALWAYS try to remove your hand from doing so despite numerous reminders by me. On the other hand, GrandmaKwan and I feel that to develop your self-soothe technique is important and we believe that it will wean off on it own when you are a bigger boy. :) You enjoys milk milk as you always love drinking more and growing bigger day by day. Sometimes, the amount you drank, shocks both of us. We have no explanation for your sudden action and we had to say it is called growth spurt. In additional, you enjoys pooping while eating. I guess somehow this happens because you are more relaxed and ready to poo poo. Oh ya, and your sudden urge for snacker after your poo poo! While you are cranky and grumpy, you do not allow any of your caregiver to sit down while hugging you. This is how demanding you are! You have also learned many interesting expressions, one in particular where you want us to hug you badly. Tell me how adorable you are yea! Found this article that i feel, let me understand you a little better!
