Happy Chinese New Year

My pathetic new year goodies comprising of a small pomelo, some tiny oranges, packet of groundnuts and one ang pow for Josiah

This is my first Chinese New Year away from family. We had a lovely chat with my relatives who were having reunion dinner at my mom's house via Skype. I tried to keep up with family traditions with the limited resources available. We did have a reunion dinner at a Chinese restaurant. Had some yummy sweet and sour pork, some fancy prosperity-named tou foo and my favourite "tou miu" vegie. I then made some sesame filled rice balls with sugar and ginger at home. Not too bad for reunion night. The next morning, S got up early as he has a whole wardrobe of new things to wear to work! New shirt, tie, glasses, shoes....

Josiah woke up early too, so we gave him his 'ang pow' packet. He was so happy and looked at it for a good one minute then just passed it to me. Good boy.... heh, heh...

I did put on some new clothes for Josiah and took him out to the playgroup. For lunch, I made a big feast for myself - Indo mee with egg and fish fingers!! Sniff....better than having a cold ham sandwich.

We then had an appointment with the dietitian at St Mary Hospital. She was a nice lady and gave me a list of things to do to try to get Josiah to eat more textured food. She thinks he is having too much milk and want me to cut out night feeding immediately. Easier said than done, really! He loves his milk and has a t-shirt with Milk-A-holic written on it.

So to all celebrating Chinese New Year, enjoy all the yummy food - eat a portion for me!

Here is my little man in various styles of dungaree - I think he looks cute in them!

Happy Chinese New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai!!
