GongGong is going home

Time was speeding by, without our realization it has come to the day my dad has to go home. The process was a really dramatic and emotional one, especially for our little Jayden. 

In the morning, I told Jayden that GongGong has to go back to his house, and he didn't take it quite seriously not knowing it was for real. However, he did mention that he doesn't want GongGong to go, and he wants GongGong to stay with him. 

When we brought my dad to the bus terminal, Jayden was crying extremely emotionally the moment my dad left our car towards the bus terminal. He kept crying out "I want GongGong", "GongGong cannot go on that bus", "GongGong must come and play with me", "I want GongGong to stay with me", "I want to be with GongGong", "I must follow GongGong, I love GongGong so much", "Why is he so long (what takes him so long to come back)?" and so on. It lasted for about 20-30minutes. 

I seriously never expected this departure would have a great impact on him, afterall, he wasn't really behaving in any way similar to this during our last time together (Chinese New Year). Even though back then he did mention that he wanted to go and find GongGong once in a while after we left hometown. This time around is just too unexpected... 

I was too emotionally disturbed by him that I burst into tears too.. Every separation is a heavy moment, but I am glad that our little buddy has so much emotional attachment to GongGong who he has met only 3-4times.  I am sure he does feel the love GongGong has for him. 

I miss my dad so much too.. :'(

Conversation with Aunty Katherine

Today, Aunty Katherine came for a visit, well practically to fetch our poodle Rocker.. She is adopting him as we are planning to find him a new trustworthy owner before we leave for good.

During her visit, there were two impactful conversation between Jayden and Aunty Katherine. First conversation took place right they met:

Katherine: Hello Uncle! (greeting my Dad who came here for a visit)
Jayden: No!! He is not Uncle!! He is Gong-Gong..

The second conversation took place right before she left:

Katherine: I like you hair.. Your hair is so nice.
Jayden: No.. I'm a handsome boy..

Enjoyable Salon Visit

This afternoon, I suddenly decided to bring Jayden for a haircut, instead of waiting for another week. Surprisingly he agreed to it when I asked him.

Our salon visit was PERFECT!! Woohoo~ It was 100% calm and relax.. without a single cry, struggle, resistance, or any of such.. Just AWESOME!!!

Here are some pictures of our handsome buddy.. :o)

Negotiation Skill


Mommy: J, you wanna wash your Bluey (his fav soft toy that he carries to bed)?
Jayden: No!!!!! I don't want!!
Mommy: Why?? I think Bluey is sooo stinky and dirty.
Jayden: You wanna wash your bolster? You want???
Mommy: Hmmm... (what the.............. speechless)

He is getting really good in negotiating and escaping my questions now.. :S
