To impress


The other day a neighbour whom bb called grand auntie stopped by to have a chit chat with mil. Beside her was her granddaughter. When bb saw the little girl approaching, he was so excited and started jumping high up, he pointed to his used to be walker now bicycle and hurried it out to the garden where the little girl was.

I think he was trying to impress the little girl. He used to bring out his motorbike and start showing kids that come by with his skills on operating the forward, reverse, riding, turning of the bike. I was a little surprise seeing how such young boy understood the concept of “IMPRESS”.

Mil asked him to call grand auntie and che che (big sis), he shy away only to demonstrate his skill handling the bicycle. Later when Sri picked up a piece of flower to toss it high up letting it hover down forming a nice twirling image. He mimicked Sri while eyeing the girl with the edge of his right eye. Boy, this makes me wonder if it is healthy to impress girl at such a tender age. *zillions of wonder*

I think it's their nature..

I see Zara too sometimes trying to impress other kids (esp those older than her), and then checking out their expression through the corner of her eyes.. so cute.

But with younger kids, Zara bochap, but will go near to sayang them. What about BB? Should test him out on Zara hor?

I think they like to impress others at this age, even if it is with the same gender. Want to make friends I guess.

Dinner. Stranger.

LAST NIGHT was MIL’s birthday. We went for a simple dinner at Mt. Kiara, a Taiwanese restaurant. Bb was excited to be out as usual, trying to show off how to operate his Bob the Builder’s bottle to uncle Jo, Bil. He has been sipping water from that bottle ever since daddy purchased it, which is good, no more bottles in public. He also created rapport with waiter and waitresses there. There was a fat uncle got so fond of him and present-ed him a chopstick holder. (Like that also can. Hah!) Bb showed it to me, it was in the shape of a Japanese koi fish. I told him to return it to uncle, Sri told me he returned but uncle insisted he kept it. UR! Okay! “Well, then you can keep it” I told him. Later, he came to me telling he was scared. I asked him why, he told me the BIG BIG uncle scary. Actually according to Sri, that uncle wanted to carry him, he got scared. Mil told me this - Once a stranger offer to carry bb, he wanted to go with stranger, mil threatened him that if he goes, he will ne

Update

Gosh! He is still crying after 2 weeks. I spoke to my sister a couple of days ago telling her my concern over bb’s behaviour. When ask by daddy or mil whether he cries in school; bb’s answer is always “NO! I never cry”, uttered with confidence. In fact, he cries furiously when I drop him to school daily. His excuses before leaving with the teacher are either, “I want to go back or I want mommy or I want my kakak…”. Sis told me to boil an egg and keep it in his school bag; he will be okay in 2 weeks. Err…I have no idea why, it was a myth she heard from elder woman to soothes kids from crying to school. Has anyone heard of this tale before? Does it work was my immediate question to her. Well obviously, she said it worked for her 3rd child. I am very doubtful la but still I asked Sri to boiled one this morning for bb to bring to school. I am keeping my fingers cross. *counting- 1,2 3, 4, 5….eggs need to be boiled b4 he stops crying, wah, who is gonna eat those eggs???* Of late, I have bee
