Can't see 'em, so I make my way back home.
Then somewhere like close to a hundred meters away, I see a small figure running towards me.... its Kiddo!
I immediately whip out my Ipad trying to capture this moment for posterity... i fumble to get the recording function on.... but I do it after a slight delay.
En's running greeting
So after that, i decide to carry on filming as we make out way back home.
On the way back home.
Along the way he got distracted by snails .... snail shells actually.
Followed by jackfruits and cats
Cat chasing
Then we finally go up the left and back home
Finally back home
So we are back home and he gets his hands and feet washed as usual. and we put him up on the high chair.... with him wanting the ipad ("eug ugh" pointing to the space infront of him where he wants the device.)
Impatient little fella.... he kept pointing while i get the youtube app ready. He then wanted to choose his preferred videos, which de did, and it was dinner time.
Once soem of the videos/ images that mattered to him more came on, he would excitedly point to the screen trying to get people around him to see what he just saw (humpty, balloons and sheep)
So Ah Gong and Yu Ling wasnt back by the time dinner started and sounds of the lock rattling came. Without looking, he shouted "Mama"
Turns out, it was Ah Gong. Normally Yu Ling comes home earlier than Ah Gong arriving, so that must be his logic. So he greeted his Ah Gong: "Ah..............................................Goong!
The next time he heard the rattle, he knew it was Yu Ling and shouted correctly this time.
The fruits tray came out later than usual and he did not have a chance to see it. So out of sight and out of mind. He was playing with Ah Gong. Ah Ma commented that the fruits would have been eaten quickly if En had been distributing it.
So bathing time came and went and it was time to go up. That was when he saw the fruits tray and wanted to have a piece of the action distributing.... but it was late and I distracted him with a souple of videos I taken earlier.... though it is getting hard to tear him from the screen once it starts....
Once he was up there, the usual request for water (sluip... sluip) came. He is so possessive over both of us that even when Yu Ling went to the washroom, he kept wanting to go in/ get her to come out.
then the usual bedtime stories. Tonight he is especially partial towards tigers, sheep, balloons/balls rainbows .... and water melons.... which is actually a picture of a Jewish man in green overlapping robes which looks somewhat like a water melon. He pointed to it (ugh ugh!) asking us to say what it is (he knows... rather, in his mind he recognizes it to be something) and when i said it is cloths, he shook his head and pointed to it again. I said 西瓜 and he nodded his head, smiling. Of course I tried to correct him, but he has made up his mind clearly what it is (to him). Then he pointed his finger and waved it.... indicating multiples and I went along saying 西瓜西瓜西瓜西瓜西瓜...... in quick succession. he gets a kick out of it for various objects he likes.
He then demanded all the pillows and cushions as usual... and had a good time with them, then he saw mama's putting on a hair clip. He wanted the hair clip on his hair too! mama said: "your hair is too short!" but of course, he would have none of it and insisted on the clip. So we did, and he started to feel for it on the top of his head, satisfied, with pacifier in mouth. We all had a good laugh, and I took him to the mirror at the dressing table and he was satisfied too! lol~! he removed it and I put it back for him several times.
Then he exclaimed: "Ngh Ngh!" Meaning he wants to poo.... That is kinda troublesome, so we sought to confirm ...and he nodded affirmatively and pointed to the door... oh well, downstairs we go! I asked him to take the newspaper for me and he did... haha... nice kiddo.
So he did his business, and once we were done, it was time for bed, for real this time.
In fact, i fell asleep before he did. My last memory of him before sleeping was him fiddling with the corner of the blanket lying down.
