daddy big backside

its 5 past 3 on a chirstmas afternoon.... THE WIFE is giving junior a bath after his afternoon nap, i am still feeling googy after my afternoon nap.... merry christmas.... its juniors second christmas with us and he is getting bigger by the day.... now he is able to walk by himself when we hold one of his little hands, he is able to cruise along the cupboards, tables, walls and stuffs... but he still perfers to crawls when he wants to get anywhere fast.... like a little lion dance routine, he would shake his head left and right as he strive his left and right hands and knees forward... frankly i am going to miss him doing this when he learns to walk by himself and stop crawling completely

juniors grandparents have been telling us that he is able to do a few steps by himself, but i havent really seen it yet... so when i saw him did this for the first time, i grab the camera and snap... this picture is like catching big foot on film... lock ness on camera.... i reckon he would be up and running pretty soon, i guess i cant use the loo with the door open anymore, wouldnt want him to walk up behind me and start to point and stare.... but we are ready for the day when he starts to walk confidently... we already have four pairs of shoes/sandles waiting for his little feet...

junior is not the youngest anymore in the chua household... me brother became a daddy himself last week... edbert... cute little fella... looking at that little guy, suddenly junior is not so small anymore... having carried izaac at 17 kgs, junior feels light at 9 kgs... but when edbert came along weighing all of 2.6 kgs at birth, junior looks like a little giant and of course izaac is the big giant now....

big as izaac maybe, he still gets bullied alot by junior... although izaac is twice his size and can push him around but it is junior who leaves his mark on him.... here, we can see izaac with the thumbs up sign but we can also see the teeth mark left behind by junior on his other arm.... everytime when i see junior doing something bad, i would wave my finger at him and say "no!!" and he would look at me and repeat "no, no" but then he would turn back and do it again... then i would say "no ah... daddy beat backside ah".... he would turn back and say "no no" this time waving his hand.... i notice that if you repeat "daddy beat backside" fast.... it would sound like daddy big backside... hmmmmm

poo face vs pooh bear

its 25 past one on a sunday afternoon... junior is having his nap, THE WIFE is having her nap and i am having a little me time...its a beautiful sunday afternoon and i dont think its right to waste it indoors sleeping... although i dont think sitting infront of a computer makes it any more right... hmmm..... heres junior and cousin iazzac with grandpa on his birthday... grandpas birthday, not the little ones.... me brother is expecting a little one sometime in dec, i guess grandpa gotta come up with something better, one on each lap is not going to be good enough anymore.....


junior is still not pooing as often... although he is improving... he used to go once every week... nowadays, its once every three days.... junior seems to be able to go on days after he had spent time with his favorite grandpa... theres loads of fruits at grandpas place and junior seems to like it a lot... junior seems to be having a hard time pooing though... he always have this poo face on... i guess with a poo face like this, who needs pooh bear?.... hmmmm....

i caught junior doing this last night... he has been trying to stand for the past few weeks... mostly when he stands, he is sort of doing it unconsciously... he is concentrating on something else and when he suddenly realise he is standing, he would fall back on his bum... i guess he wont be needing his walker anymore to raid the drawers.... and most important of all, i have to watch where i break wind... at his height, he is just about in my break wind zone.... wouldnt want to scar him for life.. hmmmm...

we are sort of tracking his teeth growth by the teeth marks he leaves behind... although we are trying to get him to not bite people... but he still bites when nobody is around to stop him... and here we can see very clearly on cousin Iazzacs face, juniors top and bottom front teeth are coming in nicely... hmmmm....

set for life

its 5 to 5 on a sunday afternoon... the wife is baking a cake (doesnt happen all the time) junior is bugger her (happens all the time) and i am looking out to a cloudly sky and hacking at the computer(doesnt happen enough times) hmmmm.... i guess i should enjoy it while it last.... we were at the docs a couple of saturday ago for his last pneumococcal shot... for a 11 am appointment, we arrival at 11.30... we were late... not half an hour, but we were there in november for an august appointment... hows that for being late... somehow, we have misread the date on our appointment card.... hmmm.... after some assurance from the nurse that its okay, we were in the docs office...

doc: so how are we today? what can i do for you today?
me: we are here for his shot..
THE WIFE: he seems to be having a little running nose, is it alright for him to get his shot today?
doc: well... it shouldnt be a problem... as long as he is not running a fever, its okay...
doc: okay... lets do some tests here... is he feeding alright? is he on solids yet? how many meals a day? can he stand? can he call mama?
me: ya... ya... twice, he seems to be eating whatever we give him... a little... sort of....
doc: alright then... lets see if he can pick up small things... hmm... he can do it quite well.... all right, daddy put him on the bed... lets give him his shot...
me: okay...
doc: there... this shot should have him immune for life... his next shot should be when he turns 18 months....
THE WIFE: okay...
doc: heres a list of do and donts... make sure you child proof your house, keep him away from hot areas when cooking... discipline by distraction....
me: okay....

the whole shot and lecture form the doc set us back by 200 dollars... but before we left, we got the nurse to give us a can of formula... i guess its not a total loss...

and we turned one

its 20 past ten on a wednesday night.... THE WIFE is putting junior to sleep with his night feed and i am just wating for junior to sleep so that i can get some ZZZzzzs as well... nowadays junior sleeps between THE WIFE and meself... mostly he would be resting his head on THE WIFEs body and kicking me in the face with his feet... its either we need a bigger bed or i need to start sleeping with a face shield... hmmm.....


its halloween and yup, its juniors birthday.... 365 days ago, junior came to be.... that means i have been a daddy for a whole year... a full year of dirty diapers,two in the morning milk feed (mostly THE WIFE does it), trips to the docs, the odd stares from strangers in the street after we told them that no, he is a boy not a girl ( yes, junior gets that a lot, they all say that he has beautiful eyes with long lashes... sounds like a heart-breaker in the making).... hours of fun...


we held a birthday party for junior at grandmas place, we invited some friends, grandma invited some friends... and i must say, grandmas friends add colours to the party, they were singing karaokes like its some free for all... actually it was a free for all... free food, free drinks, free ice creams, free karaokes... hmmm.... junior seems to enjoy the attention hes got, he seems to even enjoy the old songs they were singing.... some of the songs are even older than his old man... hmmm...

i guess at the end of the day, whats important is that everybody had fun... and as for junior, whats important is the gift people came bearing with... hes got money from red packets, a gold pandent from some of me good old friends... and yes hes gots presents... and you know the presents is good when they come in big boxes, even more so when they are taller than you... hmmmm... HAPPY BIRTHDAY son...

whos the boss

its 15 to 4 on a sunday afternoon, junior is in his swinging thingy shooting ZZZs, THE WIFE is having her nap and i am just hacking away on the computer... bliss is a quiet hour, a mug of coffee, in a birthday suit and nothing to do... and oh, no screaming babies helps... a lot....
junior is apporaching his first birthday... time flies when you are having fun, the nappy change, the midnite feed, the "i cry just because i want to".... hours of fun really... basically junior cant do wrong... whatever he does, someone would always says, hes a baby what, thats what baby does.... but as far as i know, the only people who are always right and if they done wrong, its your fault are the bosses.....

junior is starting to be a little terror... put him in his walker, and before you know it, he would be up to some no good... sort of like an instant trouble maker... just add walker, turn around for three minutes... and this happens.... so far he hasnt broken anything... yet... but we are not taking any chances... we are having all the plastic wares at the top, so even if he gets his cute little starfish like fingers on the plates or bowls, he wont break anything... at least thats what we hope...........

junior is also going around biting people... so far, his favorite target? his grandma, his grandpa, his cousin issac, his aunt and uncle, THE WIFE and yours truly.... but truth be told, junior is a fussy biter... he dosent bite indiscriminately... he only bite those he knows well... and if he feels that you are up to his standard, he will bestow upon you his mark... amazing what two little front teeth can do... he would chomp down hard shake his head a little for that extra impact... he had his two front teeth for over a month now, no sign of the rest of the pearly white gang... i guess what he wants for christmas is not his two front teeth but for the rest of his teeth.... hmmm.......


theres nothing more dangerous then a beautiful person, who knows he is beautiful and knows how to use it to his advantage... a little terror as he may be, all he has to do when he gets into trouble and THE WIFE is raising her voice and swing her finger in his face, is to wrinkle up his cute little nose, and flash his million dollar smile... potent isnt it? hmmm......

daddy cheap skates

its 5 to 1 on a sunday afternoon.... THE WIFE is feeding junior his cereal in front of the telly with csi on... i am drinking coffee in front of the computer with some music on... how i love sunday afternoons...

we were at the docs a couple of saturdays back... junior is getting his pneumococcal shots... number two out of three... we were there at 11.30 for an 11.00 appointment.. there was quite a few babies there that day... i never noticed how much junior had grown until i get to compare him with other babies... technically junior is not a newborn anymore... i know because theres a few newborns there and junior is way bigger than them... we did the weigh in and the height measurements... junior is slightly over nine kgs and about 70 cm... it wasnt long before we were called into the docs office...


doc: hello... what can i do for you today?
THE WIFE: we are here for his shot
doc: right.... let me do some check up on him... my, he can sit up quite well.. he seems fine... is he on solids already?
THE WIFE: yah, we are feeding him cereals and porridge and some fruits...
doc: good... you can increase his solids.. up to two times a day... you can also try to feed him some meat... chicken, fish... should be alright.... okay, daddy, put him on the table... todays shot might give him a fever, just watch out for it...
me: okay....

the whole thing was over in a minute... junior was crying his lungs out when the doc prick him on his little thigh

doc: right, i will see you when he turns one...
THE WIFE: okay, thank you...

on the way out at the cashier...


me: you got any milk formula samples?
cashier lady: what formula is he on?
me: friso gold, number 2
cashier lady: ive only got number 1, fresh out of number 2
me: thats all right, a milk formula is a milk formula, 1 or 2, not much difference... right?
cashier lady: hmm... yah...
me: you got any cereal samples as well?
cashier lady: hmmm... yah..... here take all these...
me: cool... thanks....

although the shot and the consultation fees cost me 200 bucks, i reckon i saved $24 on the milk formula and a couple more dollars on the cereals.... i am proud to say that junior has been on cereals for a couple of months now and i havent spend a single cent on cereals... daddy cheap skate strikes again....

blue black

its 10 minutes to midnight on 9th august.... THE WIFE is breast feeding junior and i am just hacking away at the computer.... we just came back from the new jacky chan chris tucker movie, rush hour 3.... funny movie... THE WIFE and i are sort of making up for lost movie time, we caught two movies in two weeks... before junior came along, we were catching movies every other week, nowadays its every other month.... i am crossing my finger that every other year never comes.....


junior did something amazing today.... well two things actually.... one, he could get out of the bamboo kiddy chair... well... fall out actually.... junior and i were watching some tv... actually i was watching tv, junior was just watching me... playing with his toys and getting restless... i was channel surfing when he managed to get one leg out of the kiddy chair..... lean over and before i know it, tumbled head first onto the floor... i picked him up before he busted into tears.... now he got a 50 cent blue black on the right side of his forehead... his first bruise.... he cried a little, we carried him a little, before we know it, he was back playing with his toys again.....

two... he can climb stairs... crawl actually... two whole flights of it.... makes daddy proud.... he crawls one step, turns around to make sure that you are looking at him, crawl up another step, turn around again, crawl up the third and looked around... he does the up one step, look behind routine till he reaches the top... i guess it wont be long till he starts to walk and run and ask me for my car keys... hmmmm..... they grow up so fast.....

junior is getting pretty good at his walker, he is able to zip around the house fast.. when he is up to no good and i walk in on him, he would run away as if he is the robber running away from cops.... his best stunt so far, whenever i open the refrigerator, he would rush like crazy from one end of the house and slide into the kitchen, like kramer in sinfield.... he would run over my feet, push himself right in between me and the fridge and grab whatever he can get his little hands on.... he seems to understand that most nice stuffs like ice creams, chocolates and cakes are kept in the fridge.... and when i push him back, close the fridge and say no more, he would point to the fridge and give me the look.... hmmm... like father like son i guess....

dadada-dididi

its 1 minute pass 11 on a saturday morning.... THE WIFE is giving junior a bath and i am just staring out at the open field while looking at the screen, one hand on the coffee cup, the other on the keyboard... chewing something in me mouth, while listening to something on the internet.... who says men cant multi task?.... THE WIFE and i are gonna catch the new simpson movie today, its been a while since we last caught a movie... should be good... and as for junior, we are gonna leave him with the in laws... junior seems to like to hang out with them, grandpa loves to carry junior around and talk to him, grandma loves to make faces which cracks him up...

junior is pushing nine months... and in these past few weeks, he is starting to develop a personality.... he is able to point at things that he wants and throws a mean temptrum when he doesnt get it... be all smiley and laughing when he is with familiar people and suddenly wails when someone he is unfamiliar with tries to carry him... he is starting to crawl all over the house, picks up stuffs and puts them into his mouth and with his to front teeth coming in nicely, he can sure bite... hard... he does that all the time to his cousin Issac... Issac is a nice enough fella to not hit back... although if he is pushed far enough, this happens.... and i swear, just seconds before Issac pushed him, junior was tugging on his hair and screaming into his ears....

junior has moved on from his baby cradle chair thingy, which i can carry around on me arm like a fruit basket, to this child seat thingy which permanently takes up a space in the back.... he seems to like to be able to sit up and enjoy the view when we go driving... we hanged all sorts of toys to keep him occupied, the back seat is starting to look like a play corner... although he prefers it better when THE WIFE carries him on her lap where he can wiggle about and try to stand and look out the window at passing cars, push the buttons on the doors and tug at her hair and basically be free... i guess its much more safer to buckle him in in his seat

junior is at the perfect age right now.... he is old enough to sit up and play with his own toys, is able to only say dadada and dididi, is distracted easily and most important of all, is unable to go around telling people what he sees at home...... which means i can go around the house in me birthday suit and basically live just as i did before he came along.... i know these days are numbered though, i guess in a few months time, when junior starts to get around on his own, picks up a few words and is able to point and stare, i cant use the toilet with the door open anymore... hmmmm.....

cookie monster

its 20 after 2... a rainy afternoon on a public holiday.... junior is sleeping in his net swingy thing, THE WIFE is having prawn crackers, george micheal is singing "father figure" on the radio and i am just doing what i do best... nothing... i guess to be a father, i should have a fatherly figure... sitting around doing nothing and stuffing meself silly will give me that figure soon enough... hmmm

junior turned 7 months today... yup, it was seven months ago that junior came to be... and seven and one day ago that this sign was refering to the one in the driver seat and not the little one in the car seat.... junior loves car rides... if he is in his car seat, all strap in and with his little bean pillow, he would fall asleep as soon as we hit the road... if THE WIFE has him in her lap, he would want to be held standing up and see the other cars zoom by, pushing the power window button and bascially have a good time laughing and baby talking to himself...

nowadays, junior cant fall asleep in his own cot... everytime when we get home, usually around ten at night, junior would be cranky because he just dont wanna sleep.... THE WIFE and i would take turns entertaining him while we go about doing our stuffs... and after his nightly feed, we would put junior down between THE WIFE and meself (still kicking and screaming, junior... not me) and pretend to sleep... after about ten minutes, junior would take the hint, clam down and fall asleep..... he would be sleeping between us till his next feed, about 5 the next morning.....

we started junior on solids a few weeks back... he wasnt too keen at first but nowadays we would feed him porridge, mash potatos, pumkims and bits of fruits... but i think his fravoite is still the biscuits... he would hold it with both his hands, try to get the whole piece into his mouth... fail, suck on it a little, take it out stare at it for a while and then try to get it into his mouth again...

mini me

its 15 to 2 on a labour day afternoon.... THE WIFE is putting junior to sleep after his feed and i am lazing around doing what i enjoying doing best on a public holiday afternoon... nothing... the funny thing with doing nothing is, no matter how much time i spend doing it, nothing never gets done... theres always more nothing to do... hmmm...


junior just turned 6 months yesterday... and its been one milestone after another the past few weeks... junior first learnt to flip over somewhere last month... then he went one size up on the diapers.... yup he is wearing L now... thank goodness there is XXL now, i reckon he would outgrow L in two months time and then outgrow XL in another four months time... that would mean he would need the XXL in six months time, when he turn one or thereabouts.... hmmm.... lets not think about what he would wear when he outgrows XXL... we will cross that bridge when we get to it...

junior hasnt been poo-ing much the last couple of weeks, he would go once or maybe twice in two weeks... scarry when you think about it, where does all the milk and cereal goes if it doesnt come out the other end? junior seems fine though, even the doc says that its okay as long as he is behaving fine, feeding well and not too cranky... junior likes to taste things now... apples, papayas, watermelons, his rattles, his old man's watch when he can get it into his mounth..... the thing with junior not poo-ing is that changing him has become a rarity... it has sort of became a privilege to change him... if i timed it correctly, i can go two even three weeks without having to change a crappy diapper... but then junior would be full of crap... hmmmm....

junior is just starting to be able to sit on his own... although for short periods of time, he is able to sit in his own high chair and join us for dinner... nothing for him from the table though... usually we would give him a soup spoon and he would be contented to just stick it into his mouth, chew on it a little, take it out, bang on the table a little, chew on it somemore, bang on the table some more and then throw it on the floor and starts to wail... that routine would give THE WIFE time to just finish dinner and then carry him on her lap.... sooo..... are we training him to sit alone and give us time to eat dinner? or is he training us to eat our dinner fast and carry him?... hmmm.....

still not poo-ing

its four thirty on a sunday afternoon, THE WIFE is getting all dolled up, junior is getting restless in his rocker and i am in my birthday suit hacking away at the computer.... this is usually how we are when we are getting ready to go out...

we were at the docs last tuesday... junior was getting his monthly jab, the fifth one.... or was it the fourth one?... hmmmm i lost count actually... we were at the docs 20 to 11 for a 10.30 appointment... 10 minutes late... fashionably i guess.... there wasnt many people in the clinic at this time... and the only fella with the coughs and sneezing fits is yours truely... i havent been feeling the best lately... THE WIFE was coughing and sneezing the week before, then its my turn... i just hope i dont pass it on to junior...

we weight and measured junior before going into the docs room... junoir is 7.8 kgs and 66 cm tall... dont seem to have grown much, he was 7.6 kgs the last time.... it wasnt long before we were ursherd into the docs office..

doc: so what can i do for you today?
THE WIFE: we are here for his injection
doc: okay, hows everything?
THE WIFE: he still havent poo much since our last visit... its been close to two weeks since he last pooed...
me: is it okay?
doc: hows his diet like? is he on breast milk or formula?
THE WIFE: both but 80% breast milk
doc: well, i am not surprise if he is on mostly breast milk, usually when they are on breast milk, they tend to move their bowels less often... as long as the stools are not hard then its not constipation... has he started on solids yet?
THE WIFE: yah, we are starting him on cereals... he seems to like it...
doc: good, he can have one meal a day, by six months he should be having up to two soild meals a day... you can feed him fruits as well, bananas, watermelons but not citrius fruits like oranges... acidic, not good for him...
THE WIFE: okay... we have been letting him suck on melons and graps...
doc: good.... okay, put him on the table there and lets take a look at him....... everything seems fine.... hes quite active isnt he?
THE WIFE: yah....

after the jab, we made the appointment for the following month... this time we chose a saturday... hopefully junior would poo more... not too many dads that i know of would wish for their kids to poo more... since more poo means more diaper changes... weird when you think about it, i am actually wishing for more crap.... hmmmm...

a jab, a wedding and a birthday

its 25 past 10 on a sunday evening... junior is throwing one of his "i dont wanna sleep" crying fits and THE WIFE is trying to put him to sleep....

we were at the docs two thusdays back, eighth march.... junior have this monthly injections for his 5 in 1 thingy... he is suppose to have a jab every month till he is six months... not only is today juniors jab day, its also one of me oldest friends wedding day and its also THE WIFEs birthday tomorrow... so to kill many birdies with one stone, we will have juniors jab in the morning, a lunch at some place nice to celebrate THE WIFEs birthday and follow by a reception at me friends wedding later in the afternoon... not too bad considering i only have to take an off day from work.... hmmmm....... and if THE WIFE is reading this, i love you baby, happy birthday....

we got to the docs at about 11 in the morning... not too many people on a weekday morning.. this time round i saw quite a few new borns, makes junior looks not so small after all... i dont see any kids with cough,colds running noses and sneezing fits... we took juniors weight and height, he is about 7.6kgs... before long, juniors name was called..

doc: hello, what can i do for you today?
me: well... he hasnt been moving his bowels for the last ten days... and his fart is very smelly... is it normal for kids to not pass motion for such a long stretch?
doc: well, its not unheard of, i have come across kids who have gone 8, 9 days without passing motion... is he feeding okay? sleeping okay?
THE WIFE: yah..
doc: he seems to be putting on weight, he is following the chart very nicely, i am very satisfied with his growth... i dont think its anything to worry about... but if you are concern, we do have something to help lossen his stools.. you want to try that?
me: sure..
doc: i will show you once, then you can do it at home when he gets stuffed up again..
me: okay..

the doc proceed to turn junior around, pushed a tube with a long neck up juniors little behind and squeezed... i dont think junior liked it, he turned around and give me the look.... i dont blame him, personally i havent come across anyone who like being poked in the behind, although i never did actively go around and ask... hmmm

the doc follow the tube thingy with a jab on juniors thigh....

we made the next appointment in a months time... hopefully, we wont have do that tube thingy to junior again.... and before we left, junior pooed... all ten days worth of poo in one go.. thats how powerful the tube is... hmmm....

i'm the baby, gotta love me

its just past midnight on a sunday morning.... junior is in his cot, THE WIFE is having her shower and i am just having some 'me' time.... we were just back from me in-laws, juniors grand-daddys place...

we got this new ride for junior recently... and in the spirit of the chinese new year, we got it in red... it has three wheels which make for easier handling and it can be open and closed with one hand, or at least thats what the lady at the shop said.... rolls roys has its winged lady, jaguar has its cat, mercedes has its three pointed star and juniors ride has this blue elephant with poka dot ears... nothing like a cool figure head to show that you have arrived... hmmm....


i wont say that junior is cute, but so far i have three perfect strangers coming up to either me or THE WIFE and comment that junior is cute... that he has nice looking eyes and a big smile... lets see now... power puff girls, poki-mon, hello kitty, mickey mouse, garfield and most teddy bears, these are all cute stuffs, the common thing about them is that they have arms that dont seem to be able to reach over their big round heads... maybe thats why all babies are cute..... hmmm

this is junior with his cousin, izaac... he is about 9 months his senior... right now most of juniors stuffs are hand me down from big cousin izaac... and izaac seem to have an affection for junior, whenever they meet at me mums place, usually on a weekend, izaac would be giving him kisses by pressing his face on junior... yes this green ride is izaacs, that could be why he is keeping a watching eye when junior is test riding his ride... wouldnt want to scratch it or something... junior must have liked it so much that he decided to get the same ride but in red....

junior is at a stage where he will imitate whatever he sees... when i smile at him, he would smile back... when i stick out me tounge, he would stick out his... junior is always all smiles whenever he has enough sleep and milk... and dont worry, he is not been kidnapped by some hairy monster, its just daddy and junior sharing a haha....

cough, cold, runny nose and sneezing fits

its 5 to 7 on a sunday evening, junior is taking his third nap of the day, THE WIFE is taking her first nap of the day and i am just staring into space and listening to silence.... i never could appreciate the golden of silence till junior came along..... as junior gets bigger, his cries got louder.. and to have one or two hours of silence with no screaming baby is just pure bliss...

we were at the docs yesterday, the clinic is pretty crowded on a saturday morning... standing room only.. its not so much the "no place to sit' that bothered me.... its the waiting room full of kids with cough and cold, runny nose and sneezing fits that worries me... would junior catch something while waiting in a room full of sick kids?... i am not taking any
chances, i am waiting in the hallway...

before long, juniors name was called... we were to take his weight and height... he is 6.6 kgs and is about 52 cm tall.... thats about one kg a month... about average, we were told and shortly after the weight in, we were ushered into the docs office....

THE WIFE: he doesnt seem to want to take the bottle
doc: how much breast milk is he taking?
THE WIFE: i think about 60-80 ml...
doc: kids his age needs about 120 ml or more... have you tried cleaning his tongue? i see his tongue is all white, that could be the reason why he is not taking the bottle.... take a clean cloth, use some water and clean his tongue..
me: just water? no need any medications?

doc: yah, just water..... he seems pretty active... kicking all the time...
THE WIFE: yah....
doc: the injection we are going to give today might give him a fever... do you have a thermometer at home?
me: yah, the ear type
doc: if he has a temperature of 38 degrees taken from the ear, then you give him this medicine to bring the temperature down... 3ml, using this syringe.. other than that i am quite satisfied with his growth..

the doc give junior a jab with the nurse holding his leg down... jounior is a brave litttle lad, not a whimper or a sound... the doc placed a plaster on junior and smiled...

with that we make our next appoint for march... i decided that to avoid the crowd again, i would fix the appoint on a thursday morning... hopefully there wont be too many kids with cough, cold, runny nose and sneezing fits around...
