Jason Develops Double Eyelids

Jason developed a fever last Thursday, so we brought him to see the doctor on Friday. He was rather listless over the next 2 days, and slept a lot more than usual, but at rather short intervals.

Thankfully, he recovered by Tuesday, although there was a very mild case of rash outbreak. The interesting thing is that he developed very prominent double eyelids during his illness, but they seemed to be slowly disappearing. The double eyelids actually changed his appearance remarkably – he looked perpetually sleepy/bemused, and made him bear a strong resemblance to his sister. The doc says that it's something that occurs to some people when they fall ill, and he will probably go back to his single eyelids when he recovers.

Before and After
One of Jason's favourite pastime is playing his little soccer ball. He would hold it with one hand and wave it towards you while making an "Aeey" sound to signal that he wants you to play with him. He would then bounce the ball towards you, and when you bounce it back to him, he would grab hold of it happily. Physically, he is more well-coordinated than Jaslyn when she was his age. Think Jaslyn only knew how to bounce a ball when she was much older.

Jaslyn's school is having a photo-shoot for the children tomorrow, and she has been rather excited about it. She told us yesterday that she will need to go to school early, and that we have to wake her up at night to drink milk. (She usually drinks her milk before going to school in the morning, but would sometimes take a long time to finish her milk, hence her request that we wake her up at night.) She also informed me that I will need to comb her hair and put on hair clips.

I asked her yesterday if she wanted to wear sneakers to school instead of sandals. Think she has the impression that sneakers are more for boys and had always resisted them. I assured her that I will get a girly pair. She frowned, then said, "No, I want you to bring me to buy. I want to choose myself."

Sigh. Only 4 years old, and she already distrusts her dad's fashion sense.
