He has this cute habit of asking us “you sure?” when we answered his question or when we say anything in particular. He as usual asked it with a slight pitched to the “sure” that’s so cute, I always smile when I hear it. He’s quite a pro with the 7-9piece dinosaur puzzle now, putting it together with speed. He knows some of these dinosaurs are Triceratops, Bronchosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, and Velociraptor.
Just bought a 25 piece zoo puzzle for him last Mon (6 April), and that night when he played it for the first time. We were eating dinner and J was so excited about the puzzle he started on it quickly. He first focused on making the animals take shape individually, one by one, starting with elephant,then tiger, than lion etc.....he eventually finished the whole puzzle within 30mins, although at one point he didn't know he can put the individual animals together. He then took it apart and tried a 2nd time - 25mins. HHmmm....think I should buy more puzzles. Just today he told me "I love puzzles"....cute lah!
He loves his food now. New things he has started chewing recently are:
- rainbow frosties
- pork (he started this during the recent dinner with Uncle Tony, Auntie Joanne and Reubern at Crystal Jade)
- vege (he seem to like them more now)
- beef
His current favourites
- chicken wings! The first time he tried chicken wing was a month ago, 1 buffalo wing from Pizza Hut, he finished it then. And 6 April evening he polished off 2 chicken wings from the western store! How pleased we were!
- sausages! And since we discovered he likes, I have been buying the deli cheese chicken cocktail sausages from cold storage, coz I figured at least there’s cheese and not just processed meat. I grilled it with butter and he just happily eats all 3 up one afternoon in the car when we were out.
- Fish
- Fishballs (he can ask for this for 4 consecutive days! nowadays he will say "I want fish ball and rice" when asked what he wanna eat for lunch for example.
- Fries. The unhealthy version. I tried making fries with sweet potatoes, but he didn't like. :(
- Rice (he can request rice for lunch, dinner...and then breakfast the next day!!)
- Animal vitamins or his Vitamin C.
Actually I recalled this day at the Novena Foodcourt where he chewed some toast, and I took this photo of him with a piece of toast in each hand. That was such a rare and long awaited moment I just had to snap a pic.
For some reason I recall with fondness the evening when 3 of us mommies attended a parenting talk and our kids came with our hubbies to fetch us home at the end of it. Tony and my hubby reached first. Jo and I were eyeing the buffet table to see what could be eaten fast coz I gotta rush off, then I heard Joanne laughing and looking towards the main gate in the far distance. I looked up and the first sight if of 2 cute little boys, just tiny specks in the far far distance, standing at the gate, both waving their hands frantically at their mommies far far away. Its Reubern and Jovann. Both of them were waving happily and calling "Mommy ....mommy!!!". I picked up one huge fried fishball and rushed out towards Jovann, and he ran flat out towards me, colliding happily with me and hugged my legs calling loudly "Mommy, I miss you!", and the ladies at the counter smiled indulgently. I gave him the fishball and he later finished it in the car in delight....still can't forget the sight of those 2 small waving boys....how nice to see them at the end of a busy day....what can be more important than this....
For a long while now (forgot to record down), he has this funny word he uses very often, that cannot be found in the dictionary. The word is “Aka”. Pls dun ask me what it means, I think he’s trying to be funny, and it pops out when we asked him something to which he don’t know the answer, he will just reply “Aka!” with a cheeky grin. Hehee…
He is such a doting little brother. He talks gently to meimei, handles her gently, and loves to smell her hair, her feet, her hands. Once he asked her "妹妹 要不要吃mee sua? Gorgor cook for you!" Awwwwww.......
But he still shows jealousy of course. After putting Jaz to bed I will go into our bedroom to take over hubby to put J to bed. Many times Jaz will suddenly wake up crying and I will ask J nicely to let me go back to meimei to sayang her. Usually he will hesitate and didn't want to but will allow quite soon. But once when I told him that meimei is crying and scared, Mommy need to go and sayang her and I promised to come back, he told me "She wants Daddy...I want Mommy".(when in fact it was hubby who was carrying her and calling for help)" I continued negotiating with him, promising him a round of hide-under-blanket when I am back, before he relents amiably. When I come back after that, I praised him for being a loving gorgor.
Just last night, when putting him to bed, he told me "I Love Mommy..." then afterwhile he said "I don't love Daddy..". When asked why, he said "Because....because...Daddy easy to see....". Hubby and I discussed it later and suspected he likes people to play hard to get. ????????? probably coz I am usually the one who is needed by Jaz so has to be away from him, while Daddy will remain with him. Well......will take note hehehe...
He loves having surprises, and I use that to make him do something. Whenever I say I will have a surprise for him if he finish this or that, he will start guessing. "Is it....animal vitamins (he always start with this!)?? If I shake my head no, he will continue "Is it.....vitamin C?"...."Is it......yakult??" and so on...but of course I won't give it away. :P
