Yet more presents!



God-grandparents came by with yet more presents from themselves and from Ah Kong, Ah Por and Granduncle Arthur. Lucky lucky boy!

Hippo watching tv




Liem got a marvelous toy zoo set for his birthday that he's been playing with every day since he got it. It's got a jigsaw puzzle base, fences, trees, bushes, all sorts of animals, people, even a ticket booth with a turnstile. He kept saying "water" everytime he played with the turnstile and we couldn't work out why until we finally realised that the turnstile looks like a tap. The ticket booth has a small wooden cash register which Liem thinks is a tv. And for some reason, he always arranges the hippo to watch the tv. No idea why.

Hats





Lots of new hats for Liem that he loves to wear. Of course, he somehow manages to influence everyone else to wear hats like him.

How to mount your horse




This is how Liem mounts his horse...or tries to anyway.

Cuddles!




Cuddles for everyone! Except Uncle Saba, he's a bit scary...

Another birthday cake and presents!




Another birthday cake for Liem from Grandma and heaps of birthday presents from Grandma, Grandpa, Aunty My Anh and Uncle Saba! What a lucky boy!

Happy 2nd Birthday!





Happy 2nd Birthday to Liem! Can't believe it's been 2 years already. Mr Liem, of course, took advantage of the fact that it was his birthday to eat only prawn crackers and cake for dinner. Thank you to Ai Leen for the lovely cake!

Liem also had a chat with Grandma on the phone.

Choice of drinks



When you are sick with bronchiolitis again, it's best to have a large range of drinks to choose from.

Best seat outside the house?


Maybe the best seat outside the house is on Mummy instead!

Best seat in the house



The best seat in the house is on Daddy, of course!

Bear



Ever since Khiem went to Frankfurt, Liem has been sleeping with a little white bear called "Bear". This means that sometimes he wakes up at night with a wail if Bear has fallen off the cot and Mummy or Daddy has to retrieve Bear so Liem can go back to sleep. During the day Bear sleeps in a bag until it's time for Liem to take him to bed. One of Liem's very first sentences was "Where is the bear?"

Well-dressed young gentleman



What a well-dressed young gentleman!
