More pressies

Grandparents gave Jon a bicycle. We brought him on Sat to choose one suitable for him. I could see that he was very excited as he went through the aisles of bicyles and remarked at a few of them.

I chose one larger one for Jon is more than a metre tall already. We could always adjust the height of the seat for him. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the bicycle would last a few years at least till he is kindergarten!

Despite my well intentions, Jon kept going for the kiddy bikes and riding them in the shop. Perhaps they were within his reach, whereas the bigger bicycles were interlinked in a row and only an adult can lift the bike up.

Simon helped Jonathan to cycle down the five-foot way to check if the height of the bicycle was alright. And boys being boys, I thought we had better get a helmet. Guess what? The only kids' helmet that was sold at the shop was a Spider-man one! Didn't need to convince Jon that he should wear it!

Here's a Bob the Builder activity book and story book sent from Yin Wen from Singapore. Thanks Yin! Jon was so excited that he exclaimed, "Stickers!" I didn't even know that Jon knew the word! We stuck the stickers on one of the pages and did the activities on a few of the pages.

Along the same line, Uncle Stanley, Auntie Grace and Qiqi gave Jon this huge 42-piece tool set. Jon was so happy to put on the helmet (which kept slipping off, so we had to give him his real one) and belt with the tools. As I unpack each tool from the packaging, Jon oohed and ahhed. As he played happily and noisily, one of the tool loops on the belt came undone. I was mainly to be blamed coz I helped Jon put in the drill into the loop. It didn't fit and when Jon tugged at it to get it out, the loop snapped. Will see how to fix it.

There're still a few more presents from Auntie Catherine and family, and from my parents. But these shall be given to Jonathan over the next few months. Otherwise, he may:

1) destroy it

2) not appreciate the toys, with all of them given at one time
