Grandson Visiting

The last two weeks had been hectic, yet memorable and happy times for my wife and I. Our daughter and her hubby brought their 3 month old son (our grand son) back home to stay with us for two weeks for the Christmas season. Our grandson had enjoyed his first trip from Singapore to Petaling Jaya. It seems he slept most of the time during the journey.

The few days before their arrival, grandpa and grandma were busy scouting and shopping for baby necessities. We want our grandson to be comfortable and enjoy his stay with us. The two old folks had lost touch with what are necessary! So it is "re-learning" time and to update ourselves with modern parenting.

The first thing we looked for was a baby cot. Never knew things had changed so much. There are so many baby cot models in the market. There are also models with an electric timer to rock the baby! We finally settled on one with a chrome structure, with five springs and with all the safety fixtures, without the timer. Got it assembled. Looks very nice and am sure our grandson is going to be comfortable in it! My daughter brought along his own sarong (hammock) which he is so used to it in Singapore.

The next things to look for are diapers. In our days, we use washable cotton cloth nappies! But now things are more convenient with disposable diapers! Modern parents are so lucky. Again there are varieties of them, ranging from the baby's age!

Then we need to get ready a baby bath tub. Again with modern parenting, there are various models and with accessories like a net frame so that the baby will not slip while having his bath. Young mothers need to handle their babies carefully while bathing them. Need to get some baby bath lotions, detergents specially for baby clothings, detergents for milk bottles and wet swipes for cleaning after his poo. Grandma also decided that grandson needs toilet training. So in the shopping basket was added a baby potty!

Finally, the long anxious wait for our grandson's arrival came. He has grown from the last time we saw him when he was borned. He is very cute!

And he loves sleeping in his baby cot with his teddy bear hanging on top, watching over him. And he will smile at his teddy bear from time to time before going to sleep!

We are enjoying taking care and playing with our grandson. He is so lovable and cute, especially when he smiles at us!

Time passes very fast. This Saturday he is going home to Singapore. It has been a wonderful and enriching two weeks for his grand parents, uncle and aunty. We will all miss him. We look forward to seeing him again during the Chinese New Year! He will receive his first Ang Pows (red packets) from us!
