Josiah's first short trip

Josiah went for his first short trip with us to Bukit Tinggi and Genting Highlands over the Thaipusam long weekend holiday. As he was too small to go on the rides, he only sat on the merry-go-round accompanied by me, of course. He was initially quite afraid but as the carousel took off he started to warm up and he enjoyed sitting on his pony. Andrew, Li Wei and Kah Yeong were there too. We were supposed to stay 2 nights at Bukit Tinggi but as there was not much to do there, we decided to go to Genting Highlands the next day instead. Before going for the trip I had to pack Josiah's things and also cook porridge which I kept in a cooler box so that it stays fresh. Unfortunately, Josiah did not want to eat the porridge and in fact he did not have any appetite throughout the trip and also a few days after that. I even tried cooking other food such as bee hoon and macaroni and cheese. He refused them all. I was so stressed out that I broke down in tears. Hubby must have been shocked. I was so worried that he might have worms so I gave him Zentel a deworming medicine which I bought at the pharmacy. I suspect he could also be teething as he sometimes drools and passes motion frequently, up to 3 times a day and it's watery. At the moment at almost 18 months old, he only has 5 teeth!
Po po started teaching him manners and asks him to say 'please' and 'thank you' whenever he wants something. He says 'phee' and 'kyoo'. It's so adorable!
