If I had not shooed Rayner off to bed, he could have gone on and on and on……he really really misses his Daddy….
So…..Monday night, off we went to the airport to fetch Daddy.
We got to spend a good one week with Daddy before he flew off again for the next assignment so in order to make full use of the precious time, we tried to make 24 hours like 48 hours and spend as much family time together as possible.
We bought Rayner to the Dental Clinic to have his 2 already loosen front tooth for extraction because it didn’t looked like it was going to drop off on it’s own and it’s starting to be crooked so we figured new adult teeth could be erupting already.

So here’s presenting my BoGay……heehee (this is number 3rd and 4th teeth)
We celebrated Rayner’s 7th birthday earlier because he will be away on his birthday.

The next few days were spending running errands and preparing for his next assignment.
And since RayAnne has been bugging me to bring her to the park to teach her how to ride her bicycle without her training wheels and Rayner too has outgrown his BMX kiddie bike. David bought a mountain bike for Rayner and RayAnne took over her brother’s BMX bike. We would be getting a mountain bike for her once she masters riding on 2 wheels.


There’s Rayner on his new mountain bike….looks pretty huge right….I was initally kinda worried that he might not be able to handle the bike but he has proven us all wrong….


Her trainers wheels were tilted upwards so she can try to balance on 2 wheels…..And that’s RayAnne getting riding tips from Daddy!
And I must say I am very proud of RayAnne. After one weekend, my baby girl has more or less got rid of her training wheels for good….now…she just have to perfect her riding and we would be able to get her her very own mountain bike too!
I really have to give credit to Daddy who was really patience with RayAnne and of course, the little girl’s courage and never give up attitude despite falling off her bike several times…..

It’s mummy’s who is KS lar so I made sure she was all protected and geared up……
I’m about to have diabetes reading this post..what a lovely family ((:

Rayner’s conversation with the daddy is really sweeeeeeet. Did he put on a little weight? He looks like he has chubbier cheeks in the pic without the 2 teeth.
Well done to RayAnne too but yes, I do agree the KSmom part with all that protection. LOL. But hey, better be safe than sorry ya. This coming from someone who broke her arm during her bicycle riding days
