Words and Counting....

The LMM started stringing words together a couple of months ago.. maybe at about 16-18 months.
He particularly like words like Big, Small (yes, he can differentiate sizes), Cut, Make, Cook, Knock, Mama, Papa, Ye Ye, Nai Nai, Milk, Duck, Fish (he also says Yu...). So he form sentences like:

"Cut Fish Cook Nai Nai"
"Cut Duck Cook Nai Nai"
....erm he actually means Nai Nai cuts and cooks the items.

LMM : "Big Yu"
Mami: "No, Travis, say Big Fish ... Da Yu..."
LMM: "Small Yu"
Mami : "sigh..."

Pointing at my pillow, he says,"Big Orgh Orgh..." and pointing at his pillow, he says, "Small Orgh Orgh"

And on his method of counting, hm..i really don't know. He skipped pure numbers and jumped right into algebra: "One, Too, Four, Oh, Bee, Five, Aee..."

Then, when asked "who did this????" (something bad like mess up the table, drawing on the sofa, spitting saliva on the floor)
The LMM never fails to reply,"Ye Ye"

Mum Got Left Behind!!!

Yes, I must admit that I haven't been blogging for so long!! Blame it on the on-going renovations lah... Just thinking about the selection process for the tiles and laminates is enough to set off a spinning headache.

The key reason why I'm blogging tonight is because the funniest thing happened today.

We drove to KBG MRT station, parked our car and took the train to Tampines One (our first sua-ku trip there). After an hour at the place, we took the MRT back to KBG to pick up the car and bring LMM back to Grandma house for lunch.  It was an absolutely HOT day, so Mami and the LMM walked to the sheltered bus stop while poor Daddy walks a further distance to get the parked car.  When he arrived to pick us, I put my bag in the passenger seat and then the LMM in the car seat while Daddy came out to put the pram in the boot. In the HEAT of the moment, after hearing the car door slam (that was mami closing the door after packing the LMM in the car seat), he... drove off!!!! 

"Hey!!! Hey!!!" cried out poor mami Bel.

It was so hilarious I broke out in laughter at the bus-stop, amidst the weirdest stares.

As it happens, in the car, Daddy was asking Mami (who wasn't in the car) whether the aircon is cold enough or not. Not getting a reply, he looked at the back seat and realised to his horror that Mami wasn't there!! He asked LMM,"Ma Ma where???" The LMM said, "Ma Ma no more..."

And they drove back to the bus stop to pick mami up.

When Mami got on the car, both the LMM and the papa were laughing hysterically. Hilarious.
