I did the LO with Sassafraslass Bungle Jungle collection and had great fun with it. I followed Sketch #30 from Inspired Blueprints.
Journaling:
Here's a photo I managed to snap of Jill when she's awake this morning.
I had beef bacon, mushroom and cheese omelette, roasted potatoes, slices of cheddar cheese. Tried to get Jon to try the omelette but no luck. After sitting for 45mins, Jon got restless and Simon took him out for a walk around the poolside. I quickly wolfed down a pancake, sausages and baked beans. Even read a section of the newspaper before they came back. Then I had nasi lemak and we left before Jon got restless again. Not too bad, Jon lasted 45mins + 20mins at brunch!
He then checked out the castle and discovered a door. He opened it and wanted to peek out but his cap was blocking his view. Smarto tomato went removed his cap and tadah...he got to see what was beyond the door. (actually it's my cap, but after adjusting to the smallest size, it could fit Jon!)
We took a walk and Jon ambled along. Do you realise that kids don't look down on the ground when they walk? They just walk or run without looking where they're running. That's why parents will look out and warn their children about cracks on the floor, uneven grass patch, slopes, etc whereas children will just run with wild abandonment. They have no fear!
Both father and son explored the promenade while I took snapshots of them. I like to see father and son walking together or when Jon reached out to his dad to carry him onto the breakwater. When a child clings onto a parent out of fear or for support, that's when the parent has unconditional love for his/her child. If your child looks to you for protection and love, wouldn't you hold him close and dear to you?
The sun was blazing down on us and I was glad that Simon chose a sleeveless T for Jon. In the morning, I was like, "Are you sure he should wear sleeveless? What if it's too cold at the hotel?"
From water transport, we move to land transportation - a huge tractor. When Jon saw it, he was singing the first two lines of his fav show "Bob the Builder". We helped him up and he had some fun on it until Simon saw that there were sharp edges on the tractor. We had to cajole him to come down. 
Next stop, the swings. Jon didn't want to go onto the kiddy swings at all. He just went straight to the adult swing and pointed at it. I told Simon to sit on the swing with Jon on his lap. Simon was all about safety and said not safe lah. How could he hold Jon and the swing at the same time. I told Simon he didn't have to swing high, just small swings. Jon was so thrilled.
We also let Jon check out the huge playground equipment. The only things he saw was the long red slide and the boat part, which of course he played with the steering. He looked at two girls climbing up and sliding down and smiled, but thankfully he didn't want to slide.
This was the last shot of the day. It's moment like this when I love him so dearly and forget his tantrums and short hissy fits!
So many photos to scrap! Shall I do a 12 by 12 LO or a mini album?

Here's a photo of Jon who's warming up to Jillian day by day.
When she is asleep, she is like an angel. She is without a care in the world, just her and her dreams. Wonder what she's dreaming of? I did this layout of her, sound asleep, using Bam Bop's papers and submitted it for Scrap-It-Lah's Sept Challenge. 
Yesterday, my sis-in-law Ee Chiew, gave birth to a boy, Oscar Wee jing Xian at 12.27am. He weighed 2.8kgs. Congrats Darien and Ee Chiew! Can't wait till CNY next year when all our babies get together.
I realised Jillian is like me...afraid of the heat and need quietness to sleep (so when the dogs start barking when she has just fallen asleep, she will be disturbed). This morning after she had nursed and was burped, confinement nanny put her down on the bed. Within a couple of mins, she let out a gentle little cry. So I went to carry her snugly in my arms and sang her my fave tune "Jesus Loves Me".
Supervised by the doggie door-stopper!
I managed to ask him to clim onto the bed for a photo with Jillian. He kept very still beside Jillian. I was wondering if he wasn't in the mood to say a cheery "mei mei" coz he had just woken up, or he didn't want to move too much in case he hurt her (coz each time he goes near his baby cousin, we are quite afraid he will jump up and land on her and tell him to be careful).
And the kiddy stools painted like a piano and the egg rug!
Recycled plastic storage boxes made into furniture...how cool are they? Certainly reduces your carbon footprint, right? Available here.
Kor kor was cornered by Vanessa and they both kept each other entertained before Uncle Ricky went into the study with them. I didn't know who entertained who, but Jon was delighted by the sounds made by Ricky's camera and imitated the sounds by hitting his scoops, and Vanessa took videos of Jon babbling and doing the leopard crawl.
