A simple full time working mommy who spends all of the off working time for my little boy. I am a Independent Certified Instructor for Baby Sign® Program. Visit http://joeymah.com for more info.
This is the first time I wash my car together with my boy. I brought along a story book for my boy to read in case he bored watching me washing my car. Surprisingly he volunteer to help me to wash.
Then he started to follow what I did, holding the sponge to clean the car. wash... wash... wash...
After washing, he even helped me to fill up water in the bucket and washed the sponge WITHOUT MY INSTRUCTION! Hahaha....
Then we dry the car together!
When I call him to pose for photo snapping, he replied me: "I am busy mommy, come to help me, FASTER!"
>.<
Anyway, we have a FUN~~~ morning.
My boy stepped into 35 months yesterday, but...... no update for him for a looongggggggggggggggggggg time. I think better jolt down everything as soon as possible rather than keep on delaying. Just a quick recall back for the past few months.
~26 Months~
= My Model =
My boy become my little model this month as his clumsy and big belly mommy the only "exercise" was kept holding the camera on my boy. Herewith my little model!
C-O-O-L
H-A-P-P-Y
S-W-I-M-M-I-N-G
This was the first time I cut my little boy's hair. Not bad huh? My boy doesn't like hair cut at all. Whenever he saw his hair fell from the head, his tears will started to drop and started to sob, and keep asking "finish? finish????" aih... How to make hair cut is fun for him?
= Mid Autumn Festival =
Isaac due date was mid autumn. In case he come to this world on time, I took this opportunity to play lantern with him before the actual mid autumn festival. My boy more excited with the candle compare to the lantern.
= Arrival of Isaac =
After the arrival of Isaac, I just realized how lovely my boy is.
~ He will make a quiet sign "shhhh..." when he saw his little brother was sleeping.
~ He helps me to take whatever I need when I was cleaning for Isaac, eg diaper, pyjamas, napkin, handkerchief, throw poop diaper, ointment cream etc....
~27 Months~
= A Lovely & Caring Brother =
Even though he is merely 27 months, but he really act like a BIG brother of loving and taking care of his little brother. The video below was taken when he was trying to sooth his little brother.
~ He will put pacifier for his little brother when he cried.
~ He will sooth/pat his little brother when he awaken.
~ He will try to talk to his little brother when he fussy.
= Puzzle Lover =
This was a great month for my boy as my boy surprised me by finishing a 16 pieces of puzzle all by himself! Check-out my previous post here or his video below. I have bought a few 16 pieces puzzle, all these puzzles are so useful when I was busy taking care of Isaac, as my boy can spend his time finished all the puzzle by himself. All the puzzle are available in Popular Book Store in a reasonable price! ^_^
~28 Months~
= Independent Boy =
He is more and more independent now. When I was busy nursing, changing diaper or rocking his little brother, this boy will know how to take care of himself. He will took off his pants and took out his potty to do his big business by himself and waited for me to clean for him after all done. Same, he will wee by himself in the potty, as he was to short to wee in the toilet bowl.
I was quite worry that he will messed up everything and kept asking him - "are you ok? do you need my help?" Yet... the answer from my boy was "no worries mommy, I can do it by myself, you take care of Ah B"
My tears dropped on the first time I heard my boy saying that in his response! It's touching!
= Good Helper = My boy starts to help mommy on house chores since 14months to mop floor, laundry, keep toys etc... After his little brother was born, this little boy helps a lot by taking care of his little brother while mommy take shower&cooking. He can even help me to keep all the clothes that we washed. He is my GOOD boy ever ^_^
~29 Months~
= Speech Development =
The most memorable moment in this month was my boy starts using -ing on his speech! The first time I heard him saying that was the time I was taking shower in the bathroom. While I opened the door and realized that my boy was sitting outside hugging his puppies. I wondering what he was doing and his respond was "I was waiting for mommy finish shower". From then, I realized that he understood the meaning of -ing and use it appropriately. Due to I speak English and Cantonese with him, he don't know how to differentiate between cantonese and english. Therefore, we heard him adding in -ing in cantonese word as well. haha...
~30 Months~
= Caring big brother =
Again, I would like to appraise him as a big brother! Just look at the picture here. He will be the first to appear in front of his little brother when he made any noise. He will soothe him with pacifier, pat him to sleep on the bed, dance and sing in front of him, take his teether or any toys to play with him.
~31 Months~
= Music Lover =
My boy loves music since 1 years old. May you be interested to watch him play drum here and keyboard here. My sister and sister-in-law bought him his first drum set after they watched the band performance on stage. He LOVES his drum so much and take very good care of his drum till now. His little brother likes to play with it as well. But this is the only toys that he will not share with him. Hahahaha.....
= Amend Lyrics =
I used to sing "My Bonnie" to Isaac when he was going to sleep. This cheeky Bryan changed the lyrics from "my bonnie" to "my mommy"
This was the first song he changed. Still got lots to come on the following months ^,^
~32 Months~
= Photographer = This little cheeky started to take photo using my sister digital camera and the photo not bad. As he knew to focus the person in the center. Then he started to use my hp to take photo when we dining out as well. Sadly, he likes to take photo of his tumbler, his puppy (and all of his soft toys), bowl, chopstick... instead of his mommy ~.~
= Drink Milk from cup =
This was a great achievement for my little boy who willing to drink milk from the cup instead of his lovely milk bottle.
Bye bye milk bottle!!!!
= Button himself =
I gain more time to take a rest as my boy took about 10 minutes to button his pyjamas every night after shower and before bed time. Hahaha... After teaching him for 1 month, he manage to button by himself perfectly now! Enjoy the video below and see how my boy button up his own pyjamas!
~33 Months~
= 70 Pieces Puzzle =
Again, my boy breaks his own record by finishing 70 pieces puzzle all by himself! I took out his 70 pieces puzzle for him to play while I busy vacuum and mop the floor. 70 pieces is too much for him as I knew he just can finish 48 pieces puzzle. So I can vacuum and mop the house safely cause he will not running around but concentrating on his puzzle.
After a while, he came to me saying that he has completed the puzzle! Oh boy! You're great!
= First Dental Visit = My boy willing to sit on the chair, laid down and opened his mouth BIG to let the dentist to check for his teeth. AND... He was not doing it once but twice! As he thought it was fun to sit on a BIG chair which can FLY up and down.
Since he willing to visit the dentist, I have made next appointment for him on the 39 months. Wait to see how's he performs then >.<
= Toilet Train =
Toilet train??? hahaha... Can't think of a suitable word to describe. My boy can go toilet "wee" all by himself now. He yet to reach the toilet bowl to wee, but he can make it by tippi toes! isn't that cute to see him wee in the toilet all by himself?
*He won't let me take photo of him, so I took it from FAR... without his notification.
~34 Months~
= Terrible 2 =
My boy starts his terrible 2 on his 30 months. When I request him to do something, he will said "NO" / "Don't Want"! +_+|||
This naughty boy really blow me up sometime! Maybe I can't spend all my time with him now, but need to take care of Isaac, this make him start to against me. I gave him his first "cane" when I really can't control myself. His tears dropped when I cane his little hand and he knew that he has made me angry as well. So he not dare to cried out. Seeing his tears falling down, my heart felt pain too. I kept on repeating on his mistake and make sure he will not do it again. After the cane, I gave him a time out for 1 minute as well. Hope all these punishment will not repeat again.
This was the first time WE have fun in baking. Err... This Kuih Jagung need not to bake but steam only. Anyway, this was the first CAKE we do it together!
This little fella so excited shopping with me in the market for the Kuih Jagung ingredient. Keep the long story short, enjoys my boy's photo below ^_^
First, sieve all the custard powder. My boy would like like to do it all by himself.
He taps slowly on his hand, even though a bit careless, but he still manage to sieve all the custard powder.
Then, pour the coconut milk into the custard powder.
Next, pour the evaporated milk into the mixture.
Then, stirred until the mixture is smooth, cook in a pot, after the mixture started to bubble, pour into another pot and steam for 15 minutes.
Outlook - not really good ^_^
Taste - not really good as well ^_^
Hahaha... seems to be not a good starting on our baking. Anyway, as long as he has fun playing throughout the process. We will try another cake soon.
Above was the conversation between my 33 months toddler and me. Yes, he has grown up, no more baby talk now and he is a caring person.
Care taker speaks English with him, Papa trying to speak Mandarin with him, I speak Cantonese, English and a little bit of Japanese with him, but he speaks English the most. Some of the time will mixed all language together! Hahaha... multilanguages huh?
Tadaaaa...... This is my handmade puff stitch crochet hat for my colleague who just gave birth to a very cute baby girl early of March. It's not an expensive gift, but it is handmade. Hope my colleague, Angel and her lovely daughter, Yvaine likes it.
So... How you think? Nice? If anyone is interested to has one, can email, sms, pm me! ^_^
***Sorry Isaac, you force to become mommy model on this extra small girlish hat. Hahaha...
Herewith the expressed breastmilk stock in my freezer! It is total of 34 bottles with 5.5oz each bottle.
Hehehe... Sorry to show off a bit today ^_^ But I really satisfy to see my freezer has stocked up with my milk.
In fact, I hope my post can help some mothers, who give up breastfeeding in any reason. I showed this photo not to show off that I have a lot of milk. I have milk but not a lot. For my first boy, I lack of breastfeeding knowledge, which made me failed to fully breastfeed him since the first day he was born. Then, my milk was arrived after a week. I merely successfully fully breastfeeding my elder boy on his 3rd weeks. As for my 2nd boy, I fully breastfeed him since the day he was born till now.
So... Mommies, whoever has milk on the first day or has a lot of milk, please do not give up breastfeeding your precious baby! Do not give up because of tiring pumping milk every now and then.
What song does a 32 months (2 years and 8 months) toddler likes? Twinkle Twinkle little star? The muffin man? Baa baa black sheep? .........
My boy did sing those songs before. NOW... He like - The Cranberries the most! (so as his mommy ^.^) & another cantonese song from Hong Kong drama.
Since I started to watch "When Heaven Burn" (天与地) on my laptop last December, my boy was following me watching this Hong Kong drama as well. He likes the ending song below and start to sing along. Even sing along when he was playing with his drum.
Some day on February, we listened to Zombie-The Cranberries from the radio station inside the car. He likes the drum sound so much. He told me that he likes this song very much and request me to repeat for him. But I can't do that! So I found the CD and play for him in the car.
Whenever we are in the car, he will request me to play these 2 songs for him. Below is the video I recorded when he sang "Zombie" a few days ago. Although all the tone are out, but very funny to see his video here. Especially the part he sang "zombie... zombie..hey... hey...dou...dou..." Hahahaha.....
So... no restrict to play only kids song to our kids! They may like the song we like as well and sing along with us! How about your kids? What song they like?
Just to share with you all the original song - Zombie from The Cranberries ^_^
Been silence for months....... Busy? mmm... yupe! In fact, I have made a vital decision making to enter another stage of my life! I will announce it soon... soon... ^,^
In summary, I gave birth to my second BB on September. Temporary name him - Isaac but my little boy, Bryan name him "Ah B" since he was 5 months in my belly. On the fifth day after Isaac was born, we admitted to hospital for 2 days again as Isaac vomit with "BLOOD"!!!! Then, I experienced a "terrible confinement" which end up my confinement merely in 3 weeks! On my Ah B full month, my arms, legs, face and body was RASHES for a week.
Arrrggghhhh...... It seems to be all negatives memories! Okay... In positive, Bryan had grown up, not only becomes more independent and helps me a lot on taking care of Issac AND do a lot of house chores for me.
In previous post, I mentioned about my boy likes to play puzzle and manage to complete 16 pieces puzzle after we taught him for a few times. After that, I started to bring out those puzzles I bought before for him to play.
No matter how active this little cheeky is, when the time playing with puzzle, he will sit quietly, focusing on those puzzles and put in all the pieces together.
Herewith one of the puzzle my sister bought for my boy. After we played together with him for a few times, he managed to complete the whole puzzle all by himself.
After 16 pieces puzzles, what is next? 24 pieces? But I can't find any 24 pieces puzzles in the market now? Where to buy?
Finally, I am back in blogging. I was in Maternity for the past 2 months. Sorry for waiting, especially those who are waiting to see my second prince. Ya, my second prince! This was how he looked like on his 3rd day, the first day he back home.
Isaac
Weight: 3.78kg
Length: 53cm
I know you will open your mouth like a big O when I said my second boy was normal delivery without any pain relief and he was 3.78kg in weight. Haha... Almost have the same response when my families and friends asked me how heavy he was! ^_^
How was the delivery process? Hahaha...
I am so glad that I delivered him in less than 2 hours. Hmmm... Maybe I should said that I felt period-like cramps for one hour, following by severe contraction for the next 45 minutes and my second boy was born in my second pushed. Fast huh?
But the 45 minutes really killing me! I felt the baby was coming out, but the midwife was telling me yet to push, just breath in and out, don't push! If you asked me how long was the contraction apart? I remember it was merely 30 to 45 second apart! YES, merely 30 - 45 second, not even 1 minute!
When the Gynae came to the labour room after 45 minutes, checked, confirmed was 10cm dilated, confirmed I can pushed. Then, my boy was out in second pushed and the nurse yet to hang up my leg beside before my boy was out. I was so relieved & felt my tummy was flat & my back pain was gone!
My Gynae didn't put my second baby on my tummy once he was out, which was different from my first delivery, where I could see Bryan once he was out and took a lot of photos and video for him. So, no photo taken for my second baby after delivery.
That was my second delivery and more photo will be post soon ^_^
Last week, after meal, I was resting on the sofa, while my boy took out the puzzle and started to play by himself. He took out the puzzle from the cupboard, pulled his blue chair to the coffee table and started to put back all the puzzle in place.
I didn't bother of him at all as I know he will ask me for help if he can't find the correct piece of puzzle. Surprisingly, my boy managed to place in the puzzle all by himself! Then, he said "yeah....finish!" and started to named all the object on the puzzle as he used to. This is a great growing milestone for him!
Before he started to walk, we put the floor mat in our living room for him to play around. During that time, he had the interest to pull out the shape & alphabet from the floor mat and put them back. I think that was the time he started to get interested playing with puzzle.
I won't not categorise my boy as a "quiet" type. But when come to the time with puzzle, he is able to sit quietly, choose the pieces of puzzle and trying to match each other. I am looking for more puzzle for my little boy from now onwards. Anyone has any recommendations?
My boy was wearing a new "Angry Bird T-shirt" while we fetched him back from BB sitter's house.
Daddy : Who bough you the angry bird t-shirt?
My Boy: Aunty & Uncle.
Daddy : Where Aunty & Uncle bought it?
My Boy: Mall.
Daddy : Which mall?
My Boy: Shopping mall.
Daddy : Which shopping mall?
My Boy: TESCO! Bryan pay money!
Daddy : Bryan got money???
My Boy: Bryan take money (from) uncle pocket.
I think most of the parents came across this situation where their kids start counting.....
1, 2, 3, 4.... 28, 29, twenty ten!
Last night, when I was chit-chating with my boy, sing along with my boy (this is our routine before he sleeps), he stood up and started to count the wheels on the train of the wall sticker. I did blog about my boy is able to count by himself from 1-20 in my previous post. The number of wheels are up to 18 only. After he counted till 18, he said "18 wheels".
Then he laid down beside me, continued to count, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, twenty TEN!
This was the first time I heard him counting more than 20 and I can't stop laughing when he said "Twenty TEN!" This cheeky laugh together with me and I teach him the correct way should be "Thirty" But this cheeky fella felt funny and kept saying "Twenty TEN!" instead.
When I was dressing up in my room to get ready for work yesterday morning... I heard my boy was talking to himself in his room! Slowly & quietly I walked to his room and tried to listen on his speech or see which soft toys he was talking to. Surprisingly, I heard this.....
Baa Baa Black Sheep,
lala lala la....
Yes Sir, Yes Sir,
3 bags full.
1 lala lala...
1 lala la....
1 lala lala lala la....
My little boy was singing "Baa Baa Black Sheep" Although the tone was out, but I can clearly heard he saying singing those lyrics.
A month back I bought a kid's songs VCD home, I just played for him twice. As we seldom watch TV at home. These few weeks, he keeps asking me to sing a few songs for him too, eg. the wheel on the bus, shapes, ABC, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star....
This is another milestone for my little boy, since the first time I heard him sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" with the last word only. Besides, he sings ABC songs too, but all the tone are out. Hahaha... But at least he can sing A-Z clearly with the hand sign.

He helps me to push his stroller and pretend baby is sleeping inside the stroller.
He helps to clean his bath tub everytime finished bathing.
He helps to remind me to "GO" when the traffic lights turn green and "STOP" when it is red.
My boy's growth development and learning status.
He is about 12kg in weight and about 89cm in height.
He will greet "Bye bye ..." and "Good night ..." but "Good morning mommy" to me only.
He likes to read books, no matter of his own story books, our magazine or even my pocket note book. He will request us to read for him whatever written in the book and tell him the story.
He likes to count. He can count from 1 to 20 all by himself. He counts everything he sees, the wheel on the car, the stars on the wall sticker, the bees on the wall sticker, the lamp post, the dolphin in the pool etc...
He knows a lot of single words, like dog, cat, fish, ant, apple, ball, book, bug, egg, frog, sock, pie etc... By merely seeing the "DOG" he knows it is dog without the picture of it.

This week, my boy is 25 months & my baby is 32 weeks... *grin*
Was planning to post this a few months back, but... drag till today... ^_^ hahaha...
Over all I can say my boy love my BB very much! My boy kisses, hugs and "sayang" my BB whenever I lift up my shirt to show him my BIG belly.
He will say:
"Mommy, Bryan touch BB, okay?"
"Bryan kiss BB"
"Bryan hug hug BB"
"Mommy, BB moving! BB kick Mama!"
"BB guai... BB guai (cantonese)"
My boy is so lovely♥♥♥
Since the day I realised that I am pregnant, I started to tell my boy about this good news and I cannot carry him anymore as I am carrying a BB inside mommy tummy. My boy is okay with this and won't ask me to carry him anymore.
Yet he will forget once a while, just after a few second, he will remind himself again, "Bryan walks can, Papa bao (carry) can, Mama bao - cannot, mama belly BIG BIG" ^0^
My boy starts to be more independent after I am pregnant. He is not only doing his own stuff but help me more and more with the house work.
My boy help me to bring in clothes back to his room and my room before I pregnant. Now, he even help me to fold his own handkerchief, bring in clothes, hang clothes in his closet as well. Although the outcome is not perfect for me, as long as long he willing to help out his preggy mommy, I am so happy with his effort.
Its been a habit for me to take a shower for my boy before he goes to the bed every night. Its been a habit for my boy to put his dirty clothes in the laundry basket since 14 months. So, no worries on this.
Now, he will automatically take off his pants by himself as well. But the shirt, still need us to help him up.
He knew how to wipe clean himself after bathing since 18months, so I have no worries on this as well. I can forsee that I can't take shower for him soon, especially during my confinement month. So I let him to take shower by himself and I guide him through by sitting on the toilet bowl.
I am so glad to announce that my boy able to take shower all by himself in 20 months and he does it perfectly! From washing his body, arms, tummy, legs, toes, hair to face. But one thing He still need my help is brushing his teeth.
Meal Time. I can't carry him up to his high chair for meal. So I put a chair beside his high chair and he will climb up himself. I know that this is quite dangerous for him to do it by himself. I have told my boy to do it only with mommy beside you. I observed him so far, if I am not beside him, he will sit on the chair and talk to himself "cannot climb, wait mama, hold mama hands" hehehe...
But... My boy very lazy to eat by himself now. He used to eat by himself but now... he will say "Mommy help please..... Mommy feed Bryan please...."
Laundry. He will automatically do the laundry for his clothes if he sees us do it. Below is the video clip I recorded while he was busying putting in all his dirty clothes into the washing machine. Haha... He is really my good helper.
I really glad that he becomes more independent after I am pregnant. Hope he can help me even more when BB comes to this world. & Hope he will be a good brother as well. ^_^
I have a post a few months back regarding my little boy told me that "He is a MAN" Whenever we ask him "are you a boy or girl" sure this little cheeky will answer "MAN" ^0^
& My "MAN" was so funny yesterday!
When we were walking from the car park back to our unit in our apartment, a security guard passed by and said: "Hi... Boy boy!"
"NO... Bryan MAN! no boy!"
The security guard and I can't stop laughing at him! Hahahahaha............
Been some months I didn't update my boy growth development, sorry sorry... very busy with work, I am the only one in my department, what to do??? aih... Forget about this... Okay... back to this, my boy's speech development.
His speech developement boost during his 20 months. Basically, he can tell everythings he needs in daily basis since 1 years old. But why I said that his speech development boost in 20 months????
Hahaha... As he is not only telling me what he wants or what he needs, but he can tell me stories about what had happened in BB sitter's house, how it was happening, who did it and where they did it.
I love the way he says "CAN NOT" very cute! and surprising me that he knows "BOTH"! Haha...
I can't remember much, herewith some in my mind....
Situation: I was lying on my bed, lazied to wake up on the weekend morning. My boy, who had awaken, playing by himself. He came to my room with a net on his hand.
My Boy: Net... Mama... Net... catch fish...
Mommy: Where you catch fish? (blur blur....)
My Boy: Auntie's house... Fish die die... Bryan catch fish....
Mommy: Why the fish will die?
My Boy: Bryan SCARED(the) fish... (with action) fish die...
Situation: My husband changed all the bed sheet. My boy, who has a good observation found out the changes.
My Boy: Papa change Bryan bed sheet.... change dolphin bed sheet.... Papa change "BOTH" (he means his own bed sheet, and the mattress on the floor, in case he fall from his single bed) Then he went to my bed room.
My Boy: Papa change mama bed sheet also.... brown bed sheet.... Papa change all....
Situation: His favourite soft toy - The Dog washed in the waching machine, he was looking for it.
My Boy: Dog where?
Papa: Dog dirty, washed.
My Boy: Okay... Puppy also can... Puppy where?
Papa: Puppy also dirty, washed. Frog can?
My Boy: Okay... Frog also can...
Situation: My boy very particular, every night I must be the one who prepare the milk for him. I started to talk to him that during my confinement, daddy has to prepare milk for him. Then, he started to accept his daddy prepare milk for him. One night, he drank 3oz of milk instead of 9oz.
Mommy: Why you haven't finish the milk, finish the milk please...
My Boy: NO... Mama... not nice... Papa prepare milk not nice...
This is the new pyjamas I bought for my boy during his first time to night market last week. Nice? hehehe... I personally like this kinda pyjamas, as it recall my childhood memories!
His face was stunned at the picture above hur? Haha... Photo taken by my hubby, while I was bathing. My hubby told him "don't move" That's why he was stunned there. ^o^
After the snap, this cheeky ran towards my hubby to look at the picture! Herewith the picture...
I think he was not satisfied with his picture and he wanna posed with his doggy, so this little cheeky went to open his toys box to take out his doggy. Posed holding with his doggy and let my hubby snap, snap & snap. Hahaha....
Add on with one more picture of my boy in the carseat, on the way heading to baby sitter's house the next day. I used my mobile to snap this photo without his noticed, as he was enjoying his biscuit. It was a sunny and dazzling morning, this boy definately will put on his sun glasses!
Hahahahahaha.......... My little boy awaken early in the morning, came down from his single bed, walked from his bedroom to my room IN DARK! Yes, very dark! Because he couldn't find his baobao! I can't see clearly that time, blur blur, just woke up mah, some more so DARK. But I can't stop myself laughing at my little boy...
Then, my boy hold my hand and lead me to his room and request me to look for his baobao for him. Hahahaha.... ^o^
After I passed him the baobao, he request to drink milk and wanna sleep in my bed with me. Sure I allowed him to do so lar... After finishing his milk, he was fall asleep again.
I can't really sleep after awaken, just kept looking at my little boy sleep. I realise that he really a happy boy. Just the time he has asleep, I can see he was grinning. After a while, he smile again. Ya, this will be one of my habit after he is born, I like to see him sleeping. This is a sweet moment for me to look at his chubby face while sleeping.
I LOVE Durian very much! Especially those white color, bitter & with liquor flavour durian! I can't resist to buy them home to eat even I am pregnant now! Muahahaha....
A few days back, BB sitter gave me some durians when I fetched my boy after worked. I can't wait for my hubby back home to open it and I tried with my clumsy preggy body. Before cut off the durian, I snapped some photo with one of the durian and my boy.
This was my boy trying to touch durian, and this little boy will kept reminding himself "poke finger, B careful" ^o^
Then he was trying to smell the durian.
Then he kept away from the durian due to the smell. In fact, this was not the first time my boy came across "durian". He doesn't like to eat and say durian is "smelly". When we ask him to eat, he will say "don't want, Mama eat... Mama eat" ^o^
When I got ready to cut open the durian in the kitchen, my *SWEET* little boy took the small stool for me and said "Mama cannot sit (on the) floor, sit stool... Mama sit down" hehehe.... My boy so caring and SWEET^.^
After that, he ran to the living room again, back to kitchen with his chair and sat beside to see how mommy going to cut open the durian.
Deng Deng Deng Deng..... Here there are! Mmmm.... Yummy Yummy.... Thanks Uncle & Aunty!
I am glad that my boy has a good manners, on the other hand, I am worry about him of being bully by other kids.
WHY I SAID SO???
My boy was food allergy last weekend and we were in Hospital to get some medicine from the doctor. Quite a numbers of patients on Sunday, we waited for more than an hour before our turn. While we were waiting for our turn, my boy was playing with some toys and the slide.
I used to complaint about the rudeness of my boy when playing with his toys. But at the moment I saw him playing with others toddlers / kids, I realised that he is the most gentle one.
First, he will asked my permission to play. Then as usual, he will take a stool to sit down and play and take another stool for me to sit beside him. There was not enough stools for the toddlers there, so I told my boy to give the stool to other toddlers, and he did so. He played the toys in front of him and will not disturb others. He will stared at the toys if he was interested on the toys other toddlers were playing, he dare not to grab it from others. BUT... others did that to him and he felt so surprise on the toddler's attitude. Luckily I am able to distract him from the toys.
Slide. Whenever we go to playground, I will keep remind my boy about "follow the Q", "wait" & "take turn". He will follow the Q, wait for his turn to slide down. This little boy will kept saying "Bryan wait" & "Bryan takes turn". Same incident happened, where not all the kids in good manners, they cut the Q, push other toddlers etc... My poor boy just stood behind and wait for his turn. In fact, not much chances for him to slide unless no one was at the slide. Then only my boy said "hah, Bryan turn. Up... Up... Up... Sit down... slideeeeee"
I won't blame or angry at other toddlers who were not having good manners, they need to be educate. As a parent, you should advice your toddlers, even kids not to do so and so to younger toddler! But, the parents just sit there seems to be nothing happen??? I didn't know that they are the parents, till they called their kids when it was their turn to see Dr!
Even my 2 years old little boy knows what he should do and what he shouldn't do. There was a little girl about 15 months, my boy will gave his turn to the little girl and hold the little girl hands when she climbing up the steps. When the girl fell down, my boy will "sayang" her as well. How about your 6 years old (I guess) pre-schooler? Not saying to help others, but not hurting younger toddlers will helps a lot. As a parents, the father was focusing on the laptop and the mother was focusing on the phone. I think your kids need you more than those devices!
On the other hand, I am worry about my boy if he enroll to kindergarden soon. Before I have a baby, I planned to send my boy to kindergarden at 3 years old. As everyone doing so in Penang and blame that the kids can't follow up with the sllabus if you send them in at 4 years old. I knew some parents even send their toddlers to school at 1.5 years old!
Yet, after Bryan 18 months, I decided to teach him all by myself and only send him in after 3.5 years old. Will see how in future. As I feel that he learns quite fast and he can concentrate well on the new things we teach him. For instance, my 2 years old boy knew A to Z & 1 to 14 by 20 months. The vocabulary that he understood is more than what we expect too.
I will be glad if any bloggers/readers can provide me some of the teaching tools for 3 years old here. OR do you know what the kindergarden teach those 3 years old toddlers?
So that I can do it at home with my boy without sending him to the kindergarden before 3.5 / 4 years old.
This was my dinner last night. I left office on time, fetched my little boy from BB sitter's house and reached home before 715pm.
I told my boy that "mommy needs to cook dinner, play with your toys while waiting for dinner." This little boy insist wanna read his book by sitting on his high chair waiting for me. So I just let him sat on the high chair waiting for me, whilst he was reading his book. Frankly speaking, I tried to listen what he was reading, but can't really understand. ~.~
The above spaghetti was for me and I special made a bowl of Alphabet pasta for my little boy and he finished all as the picture below. This is not the first time I cook pasta for my boy, he likes it and keep saying good after each feed. Hahaha...
Maybe he took too much for dinner, he can't finish his milk before he sleep, he just drank 7oz instead of 9oz. I was smart too, I prepared 8oz instead of 9oz of milk, just wasted 1oz. :p... Luckily he is not like a gold fish, eat whatever you feed them. Whenever he is full, he will reject.
During my long holiday 2 weeks ago, we spent half day at Bukit Merah. Initially I was planning to go Taiping Zoo. Pusposely to show my little boy all those real animals he saw in the book and TV. But, Taiping seems to be quite far from Penang compare to Bukit Merah. So we decided to choose the shortest distance from Penang - Bukit Merah.
Herewith the photo before we depart. The night before, we went to Giant to buy this cap and a sunblock for my little boy. Ya, I have concern on sun burn on my boy.
It was a rainy day in Penang but sunny in Bukit Merah. I cooked Alfredo pasta and keep in a flask for my boy as his lunch. As I don't think there are any food suitable for my boy at Bukit Merah. I made a good decision making, the food there are... Errr... not suitable for us.
After having our lunch, we walked along the lake side. My little boy was so happy running around and laugh happily. This was the first time my little boy came across - Lake and he said "sea" instead. After some explaination to him, he changed to "LAKE". Whenever he saw his photo now, he said he wanna go to the lake again. ^_^
This was the only photo of mine uploaded in Facebook after pregnant. I thought my belly is not obvious??? Can see that I am pregnant now??? ^o^
I sweat a lot while we were walking along the lake side, then we heading to the ticket center to buy ticket for water park. We saw this height measurement at the entrance. It was mentioned that FOC for height below 90cm. Just realise that my little boy is almost 90cm in height now. ^_^
We didn't play on the slide, as my boy is too small and my condition is not allowed. Therefore, we just play water at the kiddy zone and the big pool with wave. My boy like to play at the big pool. Was trying to let my little boy step on the sandy beaches, but this felly kept asking me to "mart" (clean in cantonese) his feet. He doesn't like the sand stick on his feet. What a clean freak little boy. Hahahaha...
We left Bukit Merah around 4pm and my tired boy was fast asleep on my lap all the way back to Penang.
~30 Months~
~31 Months~
This little cheeky started to take photo using my sister digital camera and the photo not bad. As he knew to focus the person in the center. Then he started to use my hp to take photo when we dining out as well. Sadly, he likes to take photo of his tumbler, his puppy (and all of his soft toys), bowl, chopstick... instead of his mommy ~.~
My boy willing to sit on the chair, laid down and opened his mouth BIG to let the dentist to check for his teeth. AND... He was not doing it once but twice! As he thought it was fun to sit on a BIG chair which can FLY up and down.
This week, my boy is 25 months & my baby is 32 weeks... *grin*
I have a post a few months back regarding my little boy told me that "He is a MAN" Whenever we ask him "are you a boy or girl" sure this little cheeky will answer "MAN" ^0^
