Learning to self feed can be really messy, but it is an unavoidable phase.. Now Javier is going through the learning to self feed stage. Whenever he try to feed himself, you would find a big mess on the floor, the high chair. If I don't give him the spoon, he will scream and make a fuss. Haiz...
Sometime when we dine outside, when he make a mess hor, I would feel pity for the aunty or uncle who are going to clean up the mess leh. It is really really very messy, food all over the floor, spoon and fork also on the floor.

Javier like the sponge cake very much, he eat almost 2 cupcake himself , after that he still ask for more
I am glad that they like the sponge cake i make. I like to try new things for my family to try. Next week, I will be baking cornflake cookies, cos Jayden simply love it when i baked for him a few months ago. He can eat over 10pcs at one go. :)

Dim Sum Lunch @ Peach Garden Restaurant
It has been sometime since we last have meal togather with my hubby family. Today we went to the Peach Garden Resturant at Thomsom Plaza to have dim sum... The dim sum was nice and look really attractive. My 2 boys was not really keen in it lah... Jayden only like to eat the peking duck dish.
Throughout our meal, Javier keep asking my FIL to bring him go outside walk walk, which in fact is that he ask my FIL to buy sweets for him. You can see from the picture where both of them happily enjoying their 麦芽糖. It was really sweet, thus I did not let the finish whole thing..

Felt Cloth Teddy Bear
This Felt cloth Teddy bear is a special request from my niece Glenda... She wanted a pink teddy bear. But i feel that it look a bit funny, mayb it is due to the shape of the head, it is not round enough...

Jayden say "oh, mummy you making a pig huh!!!
I say" No lah, it is not a pig! i am making a pink teddy bear for glenda"
Jayden say" I also want a colourful teddy bear, the pink is also very nice"
I say" Ok, i will make one colourful one for you"
Dont' know why Jayden like pink, he like sweet sweet colour like purple, pink... I told him those colour is for girl, but he just don't understand.
This morning I show them the bear i made yesteday nite, Phew, both of them managed to recognise it and told me it is a bear.. luckily they did not say it is a pig. If not how can i give it to glenda.. cos she want a bear not a pig mah... haha...
These few days, i have been staying up till very late at around 1am plus to do all this craft. But i really enjoying doing it, don't feel tired at all.

Baking Butter Nutella Cake
Saw this yummy receipe for a Butter Nutella Cake.. So i was thinking of baking it for my kids to eat. But as it turn out, it wasn't so nice... I still prefer my old recipe for the butter cake. Mayb it might be some steps which I did not do correctly. My hubby told me it taste like '发糕', whereas my boys only like the top layer of chocolate coating and the M&M chocolates.
