Daddy: Shit!

Growing Up!

I was telling Jayden that he will one day grow as big as Daddy and Mommy, or even bigger and taller than us. Then, he was complaining that he didn't grow big, and I have to explain to him that he will grow big bit by bit, slowly.

After that, we were sharing on a big bowl of dragon fruits. And in between our conversations, this come across:

Mommy: Tomorrow we need to buy more fruits.. This dragon fruit is the last that we have.
Jayden: Buy more fruits? And grow big?
Mommy: Yes.
Jayden: Mommy, you don't eat.. (took the bowl away and put on his lap) I eat first.. I grow big first OK!
Mommy: (Muahahahaha.. I am spechless!!!)


From Shoot to Sweet

While on our way to Hummingbird this morning:

Mommy: Oh shoot!!
JJ: You say sweet!!
Mommy: Sweet? You mean I cannot say shoot?
JJ: Yea
Mommy: Oh Okay...

From Shit to Sweet

While we were on our way to BaoBei today, Jayden was playing the racing car games on my iPad2. Our interesting conversation started when he burst...

JJ: Shit!!
Mommy: Sweet!!! Remember, mommy said you can say sweet when something happen?
JJ: (sigh)
Mommy: Mommy say cannot use that word right? It is not nice to say that word.. It is very rude.. and people don't like to hear it. 
JJ: Later mommy will get angry..
Mommy: Yes.. You know mom will get angry if you use this word right..

After a while, Jayden lost another game:
JJ: S.......it!!
Mommy: Sweet!!
JJ: I said sweet already mom.
Mommy: Oh you did? You said sweet? I didn't hear it clearly.. Sorry.
JJ: It's OK mom.
Mommy: Good job!! You learn fast!

Another message from Daddy

Another message from Daddy about our conversation during dinner last nite:


Mom: Oh, there's an ant died inside the drink, don't drink it
Me: Come J, take mine. Mine doesn't have ant inside.... because I ate it :P
While I thought I was being funny..
J: I want to eat the ants like daddy!! 



What Daddy didn't write on the message is, right after he heard that: 
Daddy: Daddy was just joking with you! I didn't eat the ant.. There was no ant in my drink!!


Wahahahahaa

A Message from Daddy


This is a message from Daddy in Facebook:
Last night, J darted out from shower room right after his shower to grab the balloon underneath the table. Ping! He hit his head on the glass dinning table and bleed severely on his right eyebrow. Mom quickly gave him 'first aid'. 
Before J's wound was cleaned up, he got up and walked to the table to get the balloon again. I scolded him, "You still want to take that balloon after all this!!" He took the balloon over and said, "It's for you"

Skipping on one foot

If I am not mistaken, about 5 months ago, Jayden was still trying hard to find a balance to stand on one foot.

And not knowing exactly when he managed to master that skill of standing on one foot, today I come to realize that this little boy of mine can even jump on one foot for for a good 3-5jumps at a time before standing on both feet!!

Wow.. I must have missed out a lot of his milestone.. :o)

My Forgiving Boy

Today, JJ was scratched by a friend at school. When I asked him what happened to his face, this is our conversation: 

[he pretend to punch my face and said] 
J: Jayden Wong hit like this!! Like this!!
M: Oh no.. it must have hurt a lot!!!! Let me giv u a hug. Was it painful?
J: Yes (tilt his head down)
M: But I am sure you are OK, because you are a strong boy. Are you a strong boy? :)
J: Yes, I'm a strong boy.  

[on the way to the car]
M: Did he say sorry?
J: Yes.. he say sorry and hug me..

[while in the car]
J: Mommy, it's not painful anymore



That's my boy! My little forgiving boy. :)

Daddy's trick

This morning, Daddy had this conversation with Jayden:

Daddy: Jayden, you like Daddy or Mommy?
Jayden: Mommy.
Daddy: Do you like Daddy or Mommy better?
Jayden: Mommy.
Daddy: Do you wanna go swimming?
Jayden: Yes.
Daddy: Do you like Daddy or Mommy?
Jayden: Daddy........... (pause for a while).......... and Mommy..
Daddy: No.. Only can choose one..
Jayden: Daddy..............and Mommy..

Mommy: Ahahahahahahahah

Let Go

Finally, the day has come.. Jayden is no longer crying since yesterday when I drop him at BaoBei.. A very good improvement over a week.. :o)

And he has been speaking some single word Mandarin with us recently. Early this week, teacher told me he can recognize a few words: 爸爸,妈妈,口。And at Hummingbird, Ms Callie said he can recognize the word: 明。

Hopefully he will be able to speak Mandarin soon.. Hehehe.. :o)
