Cayen is 35 months - Very big boy nowadays


Cayen wanted to watch Youtube so he went over to turn off Ah Gong's channel. Ah Gong made a groan and told him that he wanted to watch Snooker. Cayen retorted," No more snooker for Ah Gong"

Very unsympathetic. 
----

Cayen was having his cereal but instead of sitting down, he stood on a stool and ate at the island counter. We told him to come down and eat in case he falls. He retorted, (" I will be careful.") 

Very grown up. 
----

Adults were discussing what to have for lunch. I suggested to bring out the instant noodles to try clear some of the ones that may be coming to expire soon. Suddenly, Cayen said while watching his Youtube, ("I will eat the expired ones"). 

Very altruistic.
-----

Ah Po: legoland 好玩吗？
C: 好玩！
Ah Po：不好玩啦
C： 你不懂的...

Very self assured. 
----

In the cab, a few of us were talking. Then Godma mentioned this particular name and told Cayen it's called Uncle S***** a. As we were in the middle of conversation, he suddenly said ,"what's that name again?" We rolled over laughing as it sounded so adult. Then we repeated the S name again. Cayen repeated the name and laughed and shrieked , " S*****, Oh my god!!" We collapsed into laughter again. 

Very adult. 
----
Recently after he did some naughty things and upset me, he would tell me, " Ah Ma, I promise I will be good. I will not do it again" . Of course , this mostly doesn't translate into real action. 

Very assuring. 
----
Cayen wanted to take something, Grandma don't want to give him. He then said , "借我一下下，我用完了就还给你”.. 

Very persuasive. 

----

He used to pretend to make coffee and sell to Ah gong and Ah Po. Recently , they asked him to sell them some coffee. Cayen said, " 今天不卖。”

In another day, he said, "今天有买，因为生意好”.. ”生意够好就要卖”

Very enterprising .. 
---- 
After sipping a bit of his plain water, he went to the fridge and put his cup in, muttering, "I want to keep it cold". 

After a while, he went to take his cup out and took a sip, and thereafter he went to put it back in the fridge. He said ,"it's not cold anymore, I need to put it back." 

Very savvy.
--------
When he feels very comfortable his little bathtub or on my bed, he will say "I enjoy.." Or "好舒服哦..”

Very hiong xiu (knows how to enjoy life"

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
