6th Birthday

31-January-2007

Master Vincent is 6 today today.

As usual, we keep the birthday celebration a family business. Although we have thought about holding a birthday party in the McDonald Restaurant this year, somehow we didn't materialize it. Maybe next year...but, no guarantee.



The birthday dinner was totally different from the dinner we had in normal days. We prepared the foods he likes to eat. The main course was supposed to be fried Udon. However, for Vincent, the KFC fried chicken and Portugese egg tart was his instead. Both Vincent and William finished up the foods without any 'reminder'. How nice if they can behave like this every night. Perhaps the normal dinner's food is too boring?

After the dinner, they put on the birthday hat and started this long awaited moment to lit up the caddles and blow it off.

This was an ice-cream cake, Vincent's choice. Very cute piggy on the top.





Vincent the birthday boy.


The present from daddy and mommy. They were so happy to see it when KS took it out from the hiding place. Especially William, he jumped up and down like he is the most happy kid in the world. Seeing how happy they were, make all the money and effort worthwhile.



One of the reasons why we choose to buy the toys with many separate items than a single item is to avoid fight between the brothers.

From now on, I will take the photos of their toys before they destroy it or the toys broken. I think it's a good way to commemorate the toys that had brought so much fun for them along the way of growing up.


Vincent has been asking for a helicopter for a very long time. Finally, his dream came true.





Happy birthday son.

1st Tooth Gone

28-December-2006

A few months ago, Vincent showed me a loosen tooth at his lower gum. He was pretty cautious about this loosen tooth. Although painless, he would avoid using that part of teeth when he ate anything. I guess maybe that's the reason why it took such a long time to fall.

A few weeks later, I saw a new tooth grew out from behind the loosen tooth. It's pretty weird to see a new tooth co-exist with the old tooth at the same location. I wanted to take him to the dentist place to get it extracted. But there were certain considerations and worries (maybe too subjective) that stopped me from doing this.

Just when I finally decided to take him to see the dentist, the tooth fell off unexpectedly. It happened when he was eating a bowl of noodle that Sunday afternoon...I was talking with my friend, and I was distracted when I saw him jumping down from the chair, looking around the floor while saying something in panic tone. Before I figured out what happen, I saw blood flowing down from his mouth. Only a few seconds later, I realized his tooth had fallen off. I was right.

When I was busy, trying to stop the bleeding, his little friend was kind enough to look around the floor and pick up the fallen tooth for me. Here it is...When I reached home, I put it into a small plastic bag, sealed it and kept it into his personal clear folder, just like I kept his ambillical cord.

I felt so relieved now...I think the new tooth will gradually move forward to its right place.


Suddenly, you look like such a big boy now. Congratulations to your natural fall.
