Today is the third day after Daryl's MMR jab. After lunch, I noticed that he seems a bit lethargic & his cheeks were a bit more reddish than usual. When I touched his forehead, it felt hotter than usual. Fearing the worst, I went to take a thermometer to measure his temperature. It was so difficult to take his temperature coz he refused to be still. Mine is a digital thermometer, so using it is a breeze coz it needs only 2 seconds to obtain the temperature. I couldn't be more wrong! Daryl struggled everytime I inserted the thermometer into his ear. Thus I had to restrain him while I measured his temperature. Needless to say, this got him screaming the house down!
My worst fears were confirmed!! He is running a slight fever!! His temperature was 37.7 deg. So I fed him liquid paracetomal. After eating the medicine, his fever still didn't subside. In the evening, it was 38.4. Then in the night, it was 39.8. Now I am monitoring him to see whether his fever will subside or not. It's going to be a long night...

Daddy...
Kel is the happiest person in the world right now!! Reason, his baobei called him "Daddy" this morning!!
Daryl woke up this morning at about 7.30am. As it was ridiculously early, I did not want to wake up. I closed my eyes & pretended to be asleep. Seeing that I was "sleeping", Daryl proceed to entertain himself. He was rolling all over the bed, touching this & that, throwing his pillow, bolster around, etc. After a while, he got restless & started to pat me, my face, pulled my hair, mouth, etc. So I opened my eyes & smiled at him. He gave me a very big smile. Then Kel came into our room to check on us. When Daryl saw him, he shouted, "Daddy". It was the 1st time that Daryl had called him that when he saw Kel. Kel was sooooo happy!! I laughed & told Kel that he is going to strike 4D soon.

Daryl Threw Daddy's New Shorts into the Dustbin
Daryl is getting to be a quite handful these days. Today, he did something which I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.
Kel & I went out for appointments in the afternoon. When we came back, Kel, being the vainpot wants to wear his new shorts after his shower. He knew that Asty had washed the shorts already, thus he wants to wear it. The new Reebok shorts were bought @ RSH on Sun when we were at Suntec City to collect my repaired handphone. It's a very good buy - S$26.90 for 2 pair of shorts.
As he can't find it, I went to ask Asty where are the new shorts. Asty's reply is that she went to wash the new shorts again. I was puzzled as to why she did that. Thus I asked her. Her reply, "Mdm, I had to wash it again as Daryl threw the shorts into the dustbin!" I was like ??. So I asked her which dustbin did Daryl threw the shorts into. She replied that it's the 1 in our room. Then I asked her how come Daryl can threw the shorts in without her knowing. She replied that she bought the basket of clothes into our room as she wanted to keep our clothes. Daryl followed her into our room. Then she went out of the room to get more clothes. In the meantime, my notti boy took out the pair of shorts which is on top of the pile, walked to the dustbin & proceed to throw them inside.
When Asty was keeping the clothes, she was wondering how come the pair of shorts is missing. She was looking high & low for it when she spied it in the dustbin.
When she related the story to me, I was laughing so hard. Kel heard me & asked me how come I am laughing so hard. When I told him what had happened, he was laughing also.

MMR Jab
Daryl went for his MMR (measles, mumps & rubella) vacine jab this morning. As our appointment was at 8am, we had to wake Daryl up at 7am, which is earlier than his usual wake up time of between 7.30 to 8.30am.
At the polyclinic, he was enjoying himself wandering around the place while we were waiting for our turn. Soon it was our turn. When we entered the immunisation room, Daryl seem to know that something is up. Coz he cried & refused to sit still. This time round, Kel is not there to help me out. Reason being that the polyclinic had this new rule that only 1 parent/guardian is allowed in the immunisation room. It's so dumb!! The room is not that small, thus why can't 2 parents/guardians enter the room at the same time? The even dumber thing is, the polyclinic didn't even bothered to explain why was this rule implemented. It's times like this that I wished that we have opted to do Daryl's immunisation jabs with a pediatrician instead.
1st, the nurse asked me some questions regarding Daryl's development. Then we weighed & measured him. Daryl is now 13kg, 85cm tall. This explains why I often feel breathless after carrying him for a while.
Next, the nurse explained to me that the MMR jab may cause fever. However, the fever will only appeared about 5 to 7 days after the jab. Thus we need to monitor him closely. She also prescribed liquid paracetamol for Daryl in the event that he has a fever.
Then it was time for his jab. When I held Daryl tight, he was crying & struggling so furiously that the nurse commented that he is a really strong boy. When the needle went in, his cries were so loud that Kel said that he can hear them outside the room. The funny thing is, Daryl continued his crying even after we had left the room. It was so embrassing coz he was screaming & crying at the polyclinic. He only stopped when I brought him outside the polyclinic to look at the vehicles passing by. Buses, cars & vans are some of his favourites.
We left the polyclinic after Kel collected the medicine so that Daryl can rest at home.

Then?
Daryl said something today which cracked all of us up!!
He was sitting at the sofa, waiting patiently for me to load his new Sesame Street VCD into the DVD player. The Kel came out from the kitchen after having his drink. When he saw Daryl sitting quietly there, he said, "Wah, baby, you are so GOOD boy ah? Sit there quietly & wait for mummy to load your disc?"
Daryl's reply was, "Then?"
When we heard that, all of us started laughing. Coz his answer is so apt for the situation!!

Playing with the Toy Car
Daryl has a routine every night. After his dinner, he'll take a bath. After his bath, he'll play on our bed till it's his bed time. These days, I realised that he likes to play with a miniature toy car which Kel had put on our bedside table.
As you can see from the vid, the toy car is played so often that the hood of the car had came off already. :p

Daryl's 9th Tooth
Daryl had been biting on anything that he can lay his hands on recently. Thus I suspected that he might be teething again. My suspicions are true!! This morning, I found his 9th tooth peeking out. It's on his upper ridge, the left side. With this tooth, he's going to have 9 teeth already. Hopefully he's not going to use them on me again. :p

Dancing Daryl
It's very difficult 2 video Daryl dancing. He's usually distracted by my hp or camera when I tried to video him. This vid is 1 of the rare 1 which I managed to tape down part of his dancing.
He is dancing to 1 of the songs which is in the Tiny Love Maciq DVD.

Pool Time
Esther & Julian decided to set up their newly bought pool today. The best thing is, they decided to invite Daryl to play in it together with Nicole. Coz they said that it's too much trouble setting up the pool just for Nicole to play in.
When I saw the pool, I understand why they said that. The pool is huge!! It's like a baby pool. To give you an indication of the size, it can probably fit 4 adults & 4 babies inside comfortably!!
Daryl had loads of fun in the pool that day!! Here are some pics to show:
Here's a vid taken by Esther on that day.
