Mind blowing conversation

Today marked a series of hilarious conversations between cayen and us.

Adult: tomorrow is Friday , what do you want to do?

Cayen : Gai1 gai1 (play) 

Adult: where ? (Expecting Macdonalds or something)

Cayen: 乌节路 

Adult: (shocked) who taught you that ?

Cayen: Nana (she's her teacher)

What on earth are they teaching in school ??
-------

Per the storyline in some story that I was spinning .. 

Mama: this becomes small and small becomes big .. And this becomes ..

Cayen: becomes a monster 

Mama: who becomes a monster ?

Cayen : Godma! (I think it's cox she always threatens to be a monster when playing with him)

Mama: what colour is that monster?

Cayen : purple ! 

------

I was using the photo album to do show-and-tell to Cayen after reading the book. So I kept asking him what is this, how many are there etc etc. He would reply to me the right answer most of the time. Then we reached a photo showing a Christmas tree behind. He used to love Christmas trees so I decided to ask him what it was. He suddenly said "I don't know" and it sounded really natural and he seemed to fully understand what it means to not know. 

On the next page where I asked him if he saw wine glass , he said "nothing!". Lol. 

--------

Usually at night , he will have his milk and water so sometimes we will ask for help "mama neh neh , mama 水” ..and now cayen will also call our "mama neh neh, mama 水” 

Tonight we ask him to go ask himself. He then went to the door, tiptoed and opened it successfully but gingerly as there were a lot of those soft alphabet tiles on the floor around the door, so he was muttering "excuse me, excuse me" when opening the door. Haha. 

Then, as his pants were a bit too long , but he didn't know how to roll them up, he started to pull up his pants to his chest. It was so hilarious a sight I burst out laughing. 

They say children bring laughter to the house. I can fully understand why now.

Nurturing creativity

We went for curriculum updates last week for Cayson and the week before for Cayen. Bumped into the English teacher who told me that Cayen eats his lunch very well including vegetables (doesn't sound like him at all). She also mentioned that Cayen likes to test boundary. Recent case in point , teacher would ask the children to not talk in the toilet as it could be noisy for the children in the adjacent classroom. As he wasn't allowed to talk, he purposely started singing instead. Then our discussion was cut short and I wondered how the teacher responded to his singing eventually.  Nonetheless , this is one of the many instances where Cayen would not do things the conventional way. In Cantonese, I might even call him "Seng Mok" (savvy). For instance , previously , he was spotted sipping lime cordial juice on a plate -he has helped himself at the dispenser without my knowledge . One would have usually told him off but I decided to ask him why he did that. He said that he

Feedback from teachers

As part of the regular meet the parent session, I joined Cayson to make ice cream. Think I must be the only one who managed to tear two plastics bags in a row due to vigorous shaking. It’s good fun as Cayson tried his hand at making ice cream from Meiji strawberry milk.  Teacher’s feedback on him is still good as usual as he’s still quite an obedient and easy going kid though she did remark that he’s picky with some food like vegetables now. And whilst he’s 99% agreeable in the past, he’s been more prone to his own opinion (I read it as trying to get his way). And sometimes he followed his classmates’ action of scribbling away randomly during colouring when he used to colour carefully within the lines. Observations were quite in line with what we see at home. Recently he would cry when he doesn’t get his way. For instance, we were playing snakes and ladders and he started crying when I made him slide down when he hit a snake. He kept screaming “I want to win”. Later on, he proceeded to

Top 12 Tips during Confinement - revised edition (2017)

This is dedicated to my dear friends who are expecting their bundle of joy very soon. Being a hassle-free type of mother who needs to go back to work after maternity leave, and also one who likes a good bargain, these are the things I personally find very useful, practical & cost saving. 1. A good breastfeeding pillow  - my Brestfriend  For some strange reason, I didn't see the need to invest in this initially. But this has to be the top 1 or 2 items I cannot live without during the first few months. No matter how I positioned the normal pillows, I just couldn't get the right positioning without straining my shoulders/ back. So yes, this is first on the list. Anyway, if your milk production is low, try papaya with fish soup and remember to drink lots of water. If all else fails, you still can try to take some herbal medicine before resorting to Formula Milk. This herbal supplement improved production by 30-50%. I only took it when baby was having gro
