Reptile show

The boys came back from nursery with free tickets to the Reptile Encounter show to be held in Ekspo Melaka 2005. It's from 29th Oct to 6 Nov.

DH says he'll take them there, since he knows I don't like reptiles, especially snakes. But can he handle the 3 boys by himself? He managed to bring #1 and #2 to the zoo all by himself. And they had a great time. But to handle all 3 by himself, and with so many people around? I don't think so. I don't think so.

He'll need help. But I don't want to go. I don't like those creatures and I don't even want to look at them. But the kids want to go. Leonard's got a coloring contest on Sunday, so he could go to the show after the contest. But Lucas will know that Leonard had gone for it, because Leonard is sure to talk about it. Lucas will go nuts if he knows that he didn't get to go. And so will Laurenz.

Maybe DH can bring them all on Deepavali. And get Grandma to go along with them. I'll volunteer to vacuum her house and bathe the cat.

Bird's nest

Leonard asked me why birds build their nests on trees. There’s a bird’s nest on the bamboo plant in the apartment. Maybe that’s why the question came about.

Me: So that cats can’t get eat the little birdlings.

Leonard: But cats can climb trees.

Me: Yes, but the nests are between leaves area, which is very soft, so the cat can’t stand there. A cat needs the strong branches to stand on. If he tries to climb onto the leaves he will fall.

Leonard: Then he will fall and die!

Me: Yeah. And the nests are high up on the trees also so that rats and snakes don’t get to the nest and eat the eggs or the little birds. And so that people don’t step on them or disturb them. If the nest is on the ground, maybe some dogs will also try to eat the birdlings……

Wow, think about it, it’s not easy to be a bird. Thank God I’m a human.

Lucas' Injury

First it was this:

Then this:

See the plaster on his jaw? He slipped from the stool while gargling his mouth (after brushing his teeth) and hit the sink. Got a big gash that needed stitching. But he refused to cooperate (AS USUAL!) and we had to just patch him up with the plaster. Doctor said the glue won’t help as he would be talking and moving his jaw, so the wound will still open up even with the glue.

Now this:

He was play-fighting with Leonard in my bedroom. I didn’t see how it happen as I was busy looking at the lyrics book with Laurenz, singing Passera, Passera………….. (go listen to Il Divo if you don't know what I'm singing about).

Heard a big “BONG”, and realized somebody had banged into glass table. Turned around and Lucas was there kneeling on the floor, crying. My heart fell into my stomach. One of these days it’s probably going to stay in my stomach. I carried him to the bed to inspect, and there oozing out blood, was a cut on his forehead, just slightly above the spot where he had his first cut.

Again, had to patch him up. Still refused to cooperate even though he needed stitches to minimize the scar in the future.

Once the dressing was done, he was again climbing up and down the seats in the clinic. And doing the Buzz Lightyear “To infinity and beyond!” jump. BOYS!!!!!
