‎"Travis, it was the doctor that pushed you out of mummy's tummy." 

Travis: "I wanna beat the doctor." 

"Why?"

 Travis: "cos he's naughty. He pushed me!"

I "tah jia"!!

The LMM has been asked to sit in the Thinking Chair in school.
I asked the LMM why.
He replied,"Someone hit me, so I hit my friend."
He paused for a little while and smirked,"I tah jia!"

Faint.

Could it be the Ip Man advertisement he has been watching?
He would shout,"Ye Wen, Yong Chuen! Yen Wen, Yong Chuen!" while throwing punches in the air with his short arms.

So much to teach this little monster. sigh.

The Little Negotiator...

Travis seemed to have grown up very quickly. He is only turning 3 years old next month.

During dinner, when offered a bit of water, he would try to gulp down the entire glass. We wouldn't let him for fear that he might be too full from the water and would not have appetite for the food. His response:"Wait I fall sick how? I don't drink water I will fall sick you know?"

He loves to use papa & mama's toilet bowl.  We want him to use his own.  There was once, I smelled cigarette smoke in his toilet (must be from the neighbour upstairs) so I quickly pulled him out of the toilet and offered him the use of my own toilet.  The next day, when he wanted to go to the toilet, he headed straight to my toilet.  When I asked him to use his own toilet, he said,"Got smoke leh! Got smoke how?"

Oranges are his favourite.  He would declare loudly,"Mama, I have no cough." When I nod my head, he continues,"So I can eat orange?"

He is also a druggie so he loves medicine.  He saw his grandfather's medicine on the dining table once and he started to cough very loudly. "I sick leh...I need to take medicine."

When we slap his leg for being disobedient, he would examine his leg very carefully before whining,"I need to see doctor. Got blood already. I am injured."

Daddy's Mini-Me

I particularly love this series of photos. Both of them really look like versions of each other.

Let's Fly Kites!

Its been ages since I flew a kite. I almost forgot the joy of getting the kite up in the air and the

pleasurable challenge of flying the kite higher and higher, that we'll want never stop til the string finishes.

Saturday Evening 5:30pm. Sengkang - the land of kites.

When we reached there, I was astounded by the breathtaking view of hundreds of kites flying in 

the air. There were fish kites, bat kites, smile face kites and this giant sotong kite which was more than 6 storeys tall!

Travis tugged and the strings and watched in amazement as his kite took off to the air.

"What's this.....?"

Questions.


We've always wondered when the LMM would enter the Questions phase. We always thought of Questions he would ask and how we would answer and how he would ask "Why?" again to that answer.

The Questions have started.

The LMM would now ask us Questions in the same manner we ask him Questions. He then answers his own Questions. He is asking for the sake of asking.

For example, when the LMM sees the housekeeper Marilou washing the dishes, he asks,"Who wash the dish? Who? .... Auntie!"

When he sees a new toy,"Who buy this? Who? ..... Mami buy!"
When he sees something he knows,"What's this...? Phone, yes? Phone!"

Soon. Soon we'll get the WHYs from him.
