A date with Zoe and daddy's friends



It was Daddy friend's birthday; we met up with some of them last night for dinner in Italianese at The Curve. There are lots of yakking between the people who are crazy about soccer, betting, “Zhi Mo” (Mah jong playing).

Bb as usual was jolly well happy and dynamic in exploring the environment. He joined Zoe for some Barney show on a portable DVD. My observation, parent nowadays keeps their toddlers occupied with CD’s so that they will have a peaceful mealtime. Zoe’s mother is not the first one I met doing this. In a way it is good to avoid them leaving their chairs but I thought bb watch too much CD’s and TV already. I rather he goes around then sitting starring at the square box.

Everyone said bb has grown up so much. I think so too. He is like a big kor kor who knows how to make lil girl happy by playing with them. I was so amazed seeing how bb made Zoe laughed and giggled. He is very cheeky and behaved like a DAP now, which means, he does what I told him not to - like the pembangkang, the opposition. His hands are like Octopus, never stop grabbing and touching things. He even went crazy dancing in front of the restaurant Pub area, drawing giggles from pub goers.

I was busy snapping photos and asked one of daddy’s friends to snap for us. After the photos, I saw bb showed sour faced. Stretching his hands and hiding his face behind Sri, snuffle sniff. Ooppss! He was unhappy because we left him out. He wants to take photos with us too. I am so sorry darling!

This morning, MIL was relating telling bb how he made Alicia angry by not sharing toys and now Alicia went home already. Take a guess what bb told grandma?

“ Telephone Alicia, Bb will share toys.”

Haha…

This handsome korkor is a real charmer huh?? Swooning all the little girls.

I'm against kids watching dinner during meal time and I try to enforce that at home. I always make Zara sit on her highchair and join us at the dining table if she's having any of her meals.

However, I do let her snack in front of the TV.

I also try to limit her to the most 1hr TV each day (30mins x 2 shows).

She's so adicted to TV nowadays, sometimes refusing to play but kept asking for more TV program. But I told her no.. No TV if she'd already met her quota.

Tsk tsk I think that's just too much TV and too big a price to pay for the parents' own convenience. Some people even have a DVD player in the car as well!!

Haha..bb talked like adult.
First time i heard people used portable DVD to keep the kids sit still, such a terrible scene for me. Imagine, TV at home and even small square box while having great time outside.

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
