Just some updates...

It's been quite a while since I last blogged about Kendrick...Over the last few months since he turned 2, Kendrick continues to amaze us in the way he communicates with us. He speaks pretty well and uses full sentences most of the time. Sometimes talking to him can be quite interesting and funny as kids are just so innocent in what they think and say! Sometimes they just give you the most unexpected answers that are cute yet logical! In school, we were also told by the Principal that he can communicate quite well, just that he's still rather shy and don't always answer questions asked by teachers. But back at home, it's a different story! So chatty in front of family members. Kendrick's favourite song at this point in time is still the ABC song, which he can interestingly 'modify' to make it sound like a rap instead :)

Of course, there are still the challenging aspects of watching him grow up..the growing rebellion streak, the naughtiness to deal with, and the toilet training bit! The last item is the greatest challenge for us now....really don't know how to make him sit at the potty to poo :( He always insist that we go away when he wants to poo and refuse to do it sitting down. He understands the concept of what we are trying to teach him, but he just refuse to learn.... :(

Most recently, Kendrick also fell sick. Somehow, he started having this viral fever that went up and down for about 2.5 days. At one point, it went to a high 39.6 degrees. We immediately brought him to see the doctor and they inserted this thing into his butt to bring down the temperature. We also had to sponge him at home. Thankfully, his fever went down eventually. But as I write this blog now, we seem to see another symptom of something happening...some rashes seem to be appearing on his body, especially starting from the lower part of his body. Being a parent is certainly not easy, you feel joy and stress all at the same time! Just hoping that he will recover fully as soon as possible since he also has cough with phlegm. Thank goodness next week is the school holidays break..hopefully he will get well by the end of the week :|

Till the next update, here are just a few key photos taken in the recent months:
