Wedding Sunday

Today is the second day in a row that Cayen is quite obedient, so much so that all of us are not quite used to it. But we figured it's better not to talk too much about it in case we jinxed it.

Anyway, since we are going for a three hour wedding lunch, I brought a sticker book to entertain him the whole time. It also helps that MBS has a lot of recycling bins which he loves so from time to time, if I find rubbish, I will pass to him to go recycle and take a short break from his seat. 

Today also marks the day he had his first Coke. After he had his first sip, he pulled Ah Pa to the counter and he ordered mimicking his father's previous order, "Uncle, I want Coke please. Little bit, no ice" 

From the looks of it , the love affair with Coke has officially begun. 

As usual, he cheekily called 大姨婆小姨婆，and only called 小姨婆 when he was promoted to say 大姨婆. 

And when the emcee announced something to the effect of wishing the couple "有一个幸福的人生..” To which Cayen promptly responded, "人生无所谓” . Those who watch channel 8 will know this is the name of the TV drama every day at 7.30pm. While he doesn't quite watch that , he somehow remembered the title quite well, and actually make this association. 

Sometimes he would say  夜市人生 or  家和万事兴..whenever he see the Taiwanese drama setting. Somehow he's absorbing all these though he's just playing in the living room near the TV , and not watching . As such, be careful what you are watching on TV, the kids are silently absorbing everything.

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
