Sleep Zzzzzzzz......

♥Another sweet night I had for last night♥

My little boy sleeps in his room, in a single bed since early October, before he turn 16 months. I used to pat my little boy to sleep. Been months I haven't do that, as I am trying to make him more independent. Sleep by himself. He make it! Yet, he will call mommy once a while to make sure mommy is with him in the room.

Poor boy, he was so tired and took a short nap in the car around 730pm last night, as he just slept for 1 hour in the afternoon. This made him hardly fall asleep when sleeping time, around 930pm. Tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Eventually, he called out "mama" for help. I laid my head beside the bed rail, so that his little can touched me. As this will help him to fall asleep by holding my hands or touching any part of me.

Out of my surprise, he patted on my cheek gently. The rhythm was like I patted him to sleep. Slowly, gently... He fell asleep, I slowly moved away my head as my neck was tiring hanging there. =p...

Anyway, this was too SWEET!

The MAN of the house

My little boy no longer a boy now. He is one of the MAN in our home!

• He helps mommy to chase away the lizard in the bathroom by using the hose, spraying water to the lizard.
• He helps mommy to kill mosquito
• He helps mommy to kill ants by stamping his feet continuously
• He helps mommy to kill the insects.

The incident happened on last week, when I was having my dinner at the dining table. My little boy was playing with his new car. I didn't bother him when he called me for the first time. Thought of he was trying to call for fun. Then, called again, follow by pulling 2 pieces of toilet paper from the roll on the sofa and kept wipping the floor in front of his car.

I think must be something there. So I brought along my handphone, turned on to record what was happening. My boy saw an insects right in front of his car and he was trying to pull the toilet paper to wipe off the insect!


*I don't know what the insect was.

I was so surprise to see his action! He understood that he needs to take the toilet paper to kill the insect! From this, I learnt the lesson that our toddlers are monitoring US every now and then. They just follow what we do.

Parents, we need to be well behave in order to be the GOOD model for our next generation.

And do not blame your kids of their bad attitude, eg. talk rude, manners. Do parents realise that they speak the same way as their kids?

My Stunt Boy

By the time my Gynae told me that my baby is a BOY, I have expected he will show me these.... Enjoy the photo of my stunt boy below ^_^

This was what happened yesterday. No sign of scare from his face, but CHEEKY! ~.~

Spare some time to take some photos for his 5th teeth yesterday morning. He was co-operating whole photo shooting session, posed whatever mommy requested. ^_^

Smile & show mommy your teeth ^_^
Smile and look at the fan ^_^

That's why I am so enjoy during weekends & holidays. My boy & I really have a wonderful day! I think my little boy understand that mommy is not working and will spend the day with him. That's why he is so HAPPIE. I am happy because of his happiness.

Attended First Wedding Dinner

Tonight is the first time 3 of us attended wedding dinner. I really happy with my little boy as he was "WELL BEHAVE" all night ^_^

It was a pool side, buffet dinner, with a small stage in front. This is the first time I attend this style of wedding dinner. But it really HOT! I sweat a LOT! Dress up so nice for the dinner, ended up sweating! And the food... Eeeee... My hubby is not the choosy type felt the same as well. Even my little boy acted "VOMIT" when I fed him the scrambled eggs. Haha... He just like me -> picky eater =p...

I din request for baby chair for my little boy, so I just let him sat on our chair. Before the dinner began, my little boy started to said "mum mum" =p... My little boy was so hungry. Hubby went to take the food for us, while both of us just enjoying. Thanks Hubby.

My little boy sat on the chair, opened his mouth wide when I fed him, choosed the food he wanted to eat. He loves the soup so much and kept saying "more! more! more!" loudly. I was quite embarassed and dare not to look around. I think a lot of peoples there knew he likes the soup. muahahaha....

We left around 930pm and it started to rain after we got into our car. Luckily we didn't stay any longer.

After this trial, I will attend any wedding from now on! As my little boy was well behave, listen to mommy, didn't fussy at all even he was quite tired and sleepy by the time we going to left.

No photo taken for the wedding tonight =( So dark and narrow on the space. Can't even walk.

Shapes

Just some update of my little boy growth development.

Hubby played a shape recognition game with my boy last night. My little boy is able to recognise a few shapes -> Triangle, Circle, Square, Star (with Hand sign "star") & Love. ^_^

I used to play with him before, but he always make mistake by pointing a wrong shapes for me. But he did it very well last night.

BINGO!!!!

"Mommy, don't lie to me, I understand what you said"

Was trying to distract my little boy to finish his dinner instead of following his daddy for shower. It seems not working to him now, as he understood what I said. Here we begin:-

We were standing in front of "slihgtly closed" bedroom door side.

Mommy: Let's finish your apple oats first, after that we take shower.
My boy: "NO" + hand sign "carry"
Mommy: Mommy can't carry you, I'm holding the bowl.
My boy: hand sign "carry" & hand sign "please"
Mommy: okay, we go and put down the bowl on the coffee table, so that mommy can carry baobei.
My boy hold my hand walk to the coffee table, ask me to put down the bowl, then he hold my hand walk back to the bedroom door.
My boy: hand sign "carry" & hand sign "please"
Mommy: *chuckles* as I was trying to distract him walk to the living & forgot about shower. okay. I failed to distract him.
Mommy: Oh, daddy lock the door, we can't go in. (Prentending to open the knob).
My boy: look at mommy in doubt glance. His face made me felt like he was telling me
"Mommy, don't lie to me again" And used his hands to push the door hardly! It's open!

I was hugging my boy tightly & can't stop myself laughing.

Hubby had finished his shower and looking at us wondering what was happened to his wife non stop laughing carrying her little boy.

Share with you all about his dinner last night --> Apple Oats

Recipe: 1 scoop oats + 1 apple + 1 cup of water.
Method: Boild the water with oats till soft, add in apple, which is finely chopped and cook for 1 minute.

My little boy loves this "apple oats" since 8 months+.

Some of day, when I lazy to cook, I just "ta bao" economy rice and share with him of my dinner. Even my little boy has merely 4 teeth, but he chews well and able to eat rice since he was 14 months+.

Look at his photo beside, he was proudly showing off his teeth. He will pose when his mommy require him to "show mommy your teeth" ^_^

开心地散步 ^_^

“Life Is Like A Cup of Coffee”

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.

Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of COFFEE and an assortment of cups; porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal; some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite.

He told his guests to help themselves to the coffee.

After everyone had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:

“If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress."

Be assured that the cup adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases, it just more expensive, and in some cases, even hides what we drink.

What all of you really wanted was COFFEE, not the cup.

But you consciously went for the best cups…….

And then, you began eyeing each other’s cups to see who had the best one.

Now consider this;

Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups.

They are just tools to hold and contain LIFE

And the type of cup we have does not define nor change the quality of life we live.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee.

Savor the coffee, not the cups!

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything.

They just make the best of everything.

Life simply.

Speak kindly.

Care deeply.

Love generously.

Dazzling Morning

It is a sunny day today and a sunny morning.

As usual, I was driving while my boy was enjoying his bread in his car seat on our way to baby sitter's house.

All the way I was thinking about my work while I was driving. By chance, stopped at the traffic light, I turned and looked at my little boy. I saw him -> right hand closing his eyes, while left hand holding his bread, eating.

Hahahaha........ ^o^

This recall me that I used to ask my little boy to use his hands to cover up his eyes when the bright sunlight shine into the car since a few months back.

Why a few months back??? No longer now??? Mommy quite careless now. Forgotten sometime =p...

As he just learnt to do that "a few months back" (I think was before 1 years old, let me check my diary on the date). Whenever the sunlight shines into our car, I will ask him to do that to protect his eyes.

Now he will do it all by himself without mommy nagging. ^_^

Feel that my little boy has grown up now; he understood whatever we told him; he knows how to choose the food he wants to eat; he knows how to tell what he wants to do; he knows what is mommy face expression meant to him.
He seems to know everything!

Last Saturday, I was not feeling well and laid on the sofa feeding him breakfast & watching cartoon on the TV. My little boy came to me, showed me the hand sign of "bathe". I looked at the time. Oh, it's time to take shower for my little boy! He knows how to remind mommy that its time to take bathe for him!

I am soooo glad to have my little boy "understandable" even just 16 months old.

I LOVE YOU my little Bao Bei ^_^
