Cayson’s antics

Every time Ah Gong leaves the house, he will ask “Ah Gong, where are you going?”. 

One day, he repeated his question .. this time in a knowing way. 

C: Ah Gong, where are you going? Mahjong?
Ah Gong: Yes
C: You have money? 
(We rolled over laughing. How did he know money is required?)

— 
Today, we were preparing to go out for a birthday party but he didn’t know. So he asked me..

C: Ah Ma, where are we going ? 
Then he cheekily added , “Mahjong?”

Cayson went to the party .. at one point, I saw him chasing two girls .. screaming “我是霸王龙”（I am T Rex)..  I hope they are just playing catch ... 

Somehow I feel like I need to tell him, this is not the way to chase girls... (女孩子不是这样追的). 

—
He likes to lift heavy things and exclaim that he’s “muscle man” ! He sure is quite strong for his size. 

—
He’s pretty much fearless. He climbed up the slopes very quickly and slides down the slides without hesitation. He must be the youngest kid on that slide. It was double the usual height but he was completely thrilled.

That day we left the house a bit later so Cayson reaches school at 8.45am and missed a bit of his first class. When he reached, his friends started to ask him why he’s so late.. he replied coolly that he “dropped Ah Ma first” (because they will drop me first before dropping him).

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
