Hubb was not feeling well yesterday, so we made a stop at our GP on the way home yesterday.
Bryan: Eh mommy, why we come to see Dr Wei? I am not sick. *touches his forehead*
Me: You are not sick. Daddy is sick. Daddy wants to see Dr Wei.
Bryan: Daddy you sick ah? Daddy, you didn’t drink a lot of water issit? Why you so naughty? You see I drink a lot of water. I am not sick (*touches his own forehead again*). I got no fever…
Daddy: *roll eyes*
Hubby brought an egg tart home yesterday. We did not eat it, so this morning i put it in the oven toaster. Baked it and then put it into a see-through tupperware for Bryan to take it to my mom’s place for breakfast.
He was so happy to see the egg tart.
Since he is so happy, I gave him the responsibility to carry the tupperware to the car.
You can see that he really treasured the egg tart. He held it in both hands and held it really tightly.
When we reached our apartment grounds, hubb picked Bryan up to take him to our car. I offered to carry the tupperware from him. Bryan refused immediately.
When we reached our car, hubb tried to take the tupperware away from Bryan so that he can put Bryan into the car seat and strap him up. Bryan said “MAI” (NO).
When hubb continued to try to take the tupperware away from him, Bryan got angry. And since he is holding the tupperware with both his hands, he cannot hit hubb with his hands. So Bryan use his head to give hubb a hard knock on the head.
When we reached my mom’s place, Bryan said bye bye to us. When i asked him to give us a flying kiss, he just stared at the tupperware in his hand,…wondering how to do it without letting go of the tupperware.
About 2 weeks ago, we were at Borders. We took Bryan to Borders’ children section. There was a little girl of about 7 reading at one of the tables at that section.
The moment we got there, Bryan walked towards the little girl and said, “Hi.â€
Unfortunately for him, the girl chose to ignore him. He continued to smile at the girl and tried to make “small talk†with the girl.
After a while, I think the girl got a bit uncomfortable and left the table.
So Bryan played by himself and busied himself exploring the books there. Within a short while, he found the little girl and her younger sister at the front of the children’s section.
So he wandered towards them and tried to start a “conversation†again with them.
Hahaha…obviously, this is a boy who doesn’t give up easily. But he still has lots of room to improve when it comes to his pickup skills….hehehe.
For the first time since Bryan was born, hubb and I managed to watch a movie undisturbed from beginning to finish. We watched Night at the Museum after we tucked Bryan to bed.
After we finished watching the movie, while I put away some things, hubb went to check on Bryan.
I heard a soft cry from Bryan’s room, so I went to peek at the door. I heard.
Bryan: Star, star (sitting up and pointing to the ceiling) Hubb: “Star†your head la. Go back to sleep. (Gently push Bryan back to bed) Bryan: Bye Bye (wave to the ceiling and lie down to sleep).
Bryan went back to sleep in no time. Sweet dreams. Sweet starry dreams.
Sis told me that Bryan is probably the only kid in the world who finds Happy Feet a not so happy watch.
She played the movie for him during the day today and Bryan was interested in the movie. Then after a few moments, there was a scene where the penguins traveled in the snow storm. I think he found it scary, and he started crying then.
Another 10 mins or so later, there was a scene where the baby penguin (I haven’t watched the movie so I don’t know the characters’ names) cried for his mother. And Bryan went, “Mama, mama†and started crying.
My family found his antics amusing and they continued playing the movie for a while. Sometimes even in the middle of a happy scene, Bryan’s face will suddenly turn sad, cry, and he’ll go, “Mama mama.â€
My hubby started this. When Bryan gets cranky in the car, he will turn on the MP3 player on his phone and let Bryan play with his phone. Usually, that will do the trick and Bryan will play happily with the phone for the rest of the journey.
Then, i dare not let Bryan play with mine, coz it is a flip phone and i was afraid Bryan will break it. Furthermore, when the flip is closed, there is nothing interesting and Bryan diden like it anyway.
Then about a month ago, i bought a new phone. It is a slide phone and the hp sellers downloaded a lot of MP3 songs in it for me.
Since it is now a slide phone, i figured that Bryan can play with it now, afterall the dial buttons are hidden.
So one day, i turned on the MP3 player for him. There is a Donald Duck singing “Deck the halls.” And Bryan loved it…
So i downloaded a few more kiddie songs for him. Now he doesn’t want his daddy’s phone anymore. Only mine. And he’ll go “Duck Duck” each time he’s in the car with me, when i am next to him, or whenever he sees my HP.
I was trying to video him walking around on Sunday at the mall and this is his reaction when he sees my HP.
I gotto take Bryan out to more shopping malls. Currently the store that we frequents the most is Tesco – for our weekly grocery shopping or sometimes just to for “walks.”
We like to go to Tesco because there are ample parking, and we can put Bryan into the trolley the moment we arrive. So we do not need to push the stroller around. Right now, we are still discouraging Bryan from walking around at the stores. Although he can walk steadily now, he occasionally will still walk with a drunken stupor and may knock into things.
And especially in the store where people are pushing trolleys around, it can be pretty dangerous for a toddler.
So now, Bryan calls all shopping malls Tesco.
SIL took him to Gurney Plaza on Saturday. The moment SIL enter the basement parking, Bryan went, “Adjo, adjo.” Then nobody in the car knew what he was talking about, and they joked that he was speaking Japanese.
Yesterday night, we took him to Queensbay mall. And as we enter the car park, he went, “Adjo, adjo” again.
