Stroller stories

Our Bugaboo Bee was kept in our car boot for about 5 months as Joshie would scream each time we put him in the stroller. We finally brought the stroller out again for Joshie to use when he was 14 months old. I was just testing waters when I strapped him into the stroller and brought him for a walk in the park. Brought my sling too just in case I needed to carry him and push the stroller simultaneously. Surprisingly, he did not fuss and since then we have been using the stroller quite often, but for only very short intervals as he would start fussing.

When we went to Hong Kong three weeks ago, I brought along the stroller. Was praying really hard that he would be a good boy as I was travelling alone with him. To be safe, I stuffed the Ergo baby carrier in our bag too. Thank God he sat through although I "released" him for short intervals so he could run around.

Since our Hong Kong trip, he has been even more receptive of the stroller. This picture below was taken right after his morning nap. He climbed into the stroller by himself and indicated that he wanted the canopy down.


Another picture of him before we left the house for Kindermusik. I asked him to smile but he stuck out his tongue. He is indeed a little cheeky!


Well, I really hope that he'll have no more problems sitting in the stroller. It's really tiring for me to carry him in the carrier, especially when I am shopping. I don't really allow him to walk around as he would go wandering on his own. Guess he is more matured now and understands that he needs to sit in the stroller when we go "kai-kai".

Terrible Twos at 16 months?

Joshie can be unmanageable at times. He'd scream and cry when he does not get his own way. During the weekend, he seems to have gotten worse! Hopefully this phase passes fast. He'd scream even louder whenever hubby and I whack his little hand or bum-bum. And then immediately stretch out his hands as he wants a hug from us. We'd hug him and tell him that what he did was wrong.

He has also been messing up the house a lot. Pull open drawers, throw things all over the floor and of course play with all the forbidden stuff. Take it away from him, and he'd scream. So I guess our neighbours hear a lot of screaming everyday! Haha..........

Anyway, I'll leave you with pictures of my cheeky son enjoying his banana.

"Hey mummy, why are you taking my picture? Can't I eat in peace?"

"Yum yum, this banana is delicious."

You like his t-shirt? Haha, I got it from this stylo online store. Go check them out.
