Lesson of the day: Do not trust kids in keeping secret!!!

Like I always say, February is a month full of LOVE celebration for us. First is Valentine's Day, then come Hubby's Birthday, next our Anniversary!

As our 8th anniversary is just around the corner, did I just say 8th!? Wow!! Time flies!!

Again, as our 8th anniversary is just around the corner, I bought a little present for hubby and was wrapping it up the other day. Jayden came to notice it and asked me why was I wrapping a present. Without any precautions, I told him that it's a surprise present for Daddy for our anniversary.

Once I was done wrapping, I kept it in my cupboard (it is a place that Daddy wouldn't open in a million days!). Yesterday morning, while I was changing my clothes and Daddy was busy in the study room, suddenly Jayden was pulling Daddy's hand all the way from the study room to the bedroom, then I hear this:

Jayden: Daddy come.. I show you.. You see.. Your present.. Come, I show you..
Daddy: Where you wanna go?

I guess Daddy still doesn't know what he was talking about as Daddy follow blindly.. At this moment, his words haven't come to my senses yet!!! Not until... Jayden opened my cupboard and pointed the present at the top of the shelf:

Jayden: You see!! Your present!!!

In a lightning speed of a nanosecond before I can utter a single word, Daddy took the present and turned to ask me: Is this for me??

Mommy: Oh no!!! Jayden!!! How can you tell daddy?? You promised me not to tell him.. it's a surprise!!! Well, no more... :o(

This is the conversation that took place before the day of the incident:
Jayden: What's this mom? Why? Why you make this present?
Mommy: Why I wrap this present you mean? It's a surprise present for Daddy, our 8th anniversary is coming soon so I am giving him a surprise present.
Jayden: It's for Daddy!
Mommy: Yes. But you cannot tell him that I got him a present ok! I wanna give him a surprise. Don't tell him ok!
Jayden: Okay!

Lesson learned: Do not trust kids in keeping secrets!!! Arghhh...

While Jayden was busy playing his toys in the living room, there were loud noises of children screaming and shouting cheerfully coming from the playground. 

Excitedly, Jayden stood up and said " Wow, mom, there are many children at the playground.. Let me go and see.."

Then he went to the balcony and said loudly to the kids.. "Hello!!! Hello!! I am here!!! What you doing?". Though it's not too surprising, but there are some kids greeted him with loud "Hello!!" 


Apparently my sweetheart was happy to receive replies from the children. He then walked back and forth at the balcony. Next I heard Jayden said "Hey, what's going on!? I can't hear you.."

Growing Appetite

As usual, he will crave for food every 2 hourly, be it meals or snacks as long as there is something edible for him. Not jut that, he has better appetite now and just now he surprised me again!!

He had a bowl of cereal with milk at around 615pm and when I asked him if he still wants noodle soup, he said yes. I thought he was just pulling my legs. I served him noodle soup slightly before 7pm and by now, he has finished the whole bowl. He must be really really hungry.. Hehehe.. 

Bao Bei

Today is Jayden's third day attending BaoBei (a Chinese language enrichment center) - Until today, he will cry the moment I leave, and refuse to go home whenever I arrive. He is very good with NiNi LaoShi and JingJing LaoShi, and he told me that they are very nice and he likes them. There are a few typical questions I asked him after his lessons, and he always answers me with the same typical answers:

• Did you have fun today? Yes
• Are you enjoying the class? Yes
• What did you do at BaoBei? bla bla bla dance bla bla.. bla bla sing song bla bla jump bla bla (he did a lot of explanation with great body gestures
• Do you wanna go to BaoBei again? Yes
• Great! Then you shouldn't cry when we come to BaoBei tomorrow ok!? Okay!
• 
  

Silly Daddy

This morning J tried to help me to flush the toilet, it didn't work because he doesn't have enough strength to press the flusher.

Jayden: Oh, it's has no more battery.
Daddy: No, it doesn't require battery, it's your battery that's not enough. You need to eat more to build your battery.
Then, J walked away and said: "Silly daddy"
Daddy: *silent*

The Art of Pedalling

Finally, Jayden can pedal his tricycle. He can pedal forward and pedal backwards too! Hahaha..

Guess getting him a bike for his 4th birthday would be a great idea. It's getting exciting.. Really can't wait to experience the days where we can go biking together in the park. :o)

Mommy's sticker

Jayden kissed my leg, then pointed at the spot he kissed and said "Mommy, this is your sticker."

My heart just melted... So sweeeet!!!!!!

Nap on the Bed

First time JJ naps on his big boy bed instead of the cradle.. This was wat going on before the nap:

JJ: Mommy, I don't wanna sleep on the cradle. I wanna sleep on the bed.
Mommy: Why? It's cooler to sleep on the cradle.. and you will sleep longer..
JJ: Because I am a big boy now (whle saying that he flips up his shirt and shows me his tummy and chest)
Mommy: Mmmm... Okay. But if you don't fall asleep, I will still put you on the cradle.
JJ: Okay mommy.

JJ, I'm so proud of you!! ~ ~ ~ Love - mommy

Turn off the dark???

Mommy: Go and refill some water...

Jayden: Okay...

So Jayden got his cup and went into the kitchen.. then he came back and said to me..

Jayden: Dark... It's so dark mommy.. Can you turn off the dark pleaseeeee???
Mommy: (paused... speechless) Turn off the dark? It's turn on the light!!!

Talking through his microphone (on his jammer):

Jayden: Hello snale.. I'm so sorry I didn't call you...

Curious mommy is wondering.. "Who is 'snake'??"
Later I found out that he saw a snake on the TV... ishhhh... :S

Conversation of the day

JJ: Oh no.. DogDog come in quietly and gentle...
Mom: Oh, you mean DogDog comes in quietly and gently?
JJ: No.. Quietly and gentle..
Mom: >.<" (speechless)

Clingy

It's been a while by now that Jayden needs me to be around while sleeping.. To the extend that he will wake up from the bed if he found me not around, and usually it happens very often. :o(

Not just that, he will need to hold my hand to sleep everyday. It's like he couldn't fall asleep without holding my hand. Well, it is sweet at one point, too dependent on me on the other. I wonder when would we be able to train him to sleep on his bed giving such circumstance.

Perhaps we will be able to work something out when we decide to have the second one coming...

What day is today?

JJ paused from his choo-choo play.. Then he said:

JJ: What day is today mom? Today is... Friday?
Mom: No.. Today is.. Tuesday!
JJ: Oh alright... Today is Tuesday!

Then he continued playing his choo-choo trains with lots of narrations, singing, and musics for different scenes.. :P

Nag nag nag.

While on the way home from MIL's house yesterday, Jayden insisted to sit at the back instead of his car seat. He rushed all the way to the back, sat down, and hurriedly buckled up. Being a bad mom, I gave in and spoilt him.

Before I got the car moving, he started saying something which initially I wasn't paying attention to. For some reason, it suddenly came to my senses that he was talking to me and he had spoken a lot of things (which I didn't hear). These are the last few sentences that I hear and see:

"I say I sit at the back. I need to buckle up.. See I buckle up now.. Why don't you listen?"

While saying that last sentence, he had his hand held in a fist with the pointer finger crookedly pointed upwards.. It was a serious look!! Hahahahahaha.. Until now, I couldn't forget that serious look..

Words that drive mommy speechless

One fine day around a week before Chinese New Year, I was rushing Jayden to clean up. He was running all over the house naked, trying to get me to chase him. It somewhat gotten me to my nerve, so we had a little conversation: 

Mommy: Why can't you just listen to me and get yourself cleaned up? Do you have to do this everytime? I am super angry now you know.. I am sooooo angry that I will get the cane and whip you later!!

Jayden: Don't say like this mommy.. 

Mommy: (Muahahaha... laughing so hard in my heart while daddy was already laughing!!!) Oh.. I am sorry. But you need to be cooperative ok.. 

On another day after, a similar incident happen that I told him that I was angry.. Again, innocently, he told me: "Don't say like this mommy, it's not nice..."

My son is really good at making people speechless!!!! :P
