Chinese New Year Day 2

DN demonstrated his eating prowess on Day 2 when my aunts, uncles and cousins came over for breakfast. DN sat at the dining table for about 1.5 hours and was fed egg mayo sandwiches, bak kwa and chrysanthemum tea, AFTER his breakfast of raisin bread. I think he was very pleased with the buffet breakfast. Everyone was very amazed with his bottomless pit.

Number of times DN pooped during CNY (his norm is once a day):

• Day 1 : 3 times
• Day 2 : 4 TIMES!!!!!
• Day 3 : 3 times
• Day 4 : 3 times

He was crapping like a newborn!


CNY is all about eating...



... and drinking...


... and more eating.

(that's his Great-Grandma Wee)


DN's face when told he cannot eat anymore.




The first thing he does when we arrive at someone's house is check out what's in the lacquer boxes.

Chinese New Year Day 3

We took a break from all the visiting and went to the Botanic Gardens with Katriya and her parents. We couldn't have chosen a better day. :)
