kj came home from school and was excited about his school trip in the morning.

they visited a primary chinese school in Putatan earlier in the day.

kj: mummy! do you know who i sat with on the bus today?

me: no, who?

kj: i sat with xxxxx. and do u know what, she is my girlfriend!

and he stopped and waited for my response.

i paused. looked at him.

me: oh! thats awesome! 

and i give him a smile :)

kj perplexed.

kj: why did u say that? my friends all said eeeeyerrrrrr and why didnt u say that?

me: really? why do i need to? they ARE your girlfriends because she is a girl right?

kj just walked away........-____-'''

but anyway, i wanted to remind myself that children is a white piece of paper. they learn by watching us.

our every move are being observed. smirk

 brilliant idea!!

why do you need expensive toys or fischer price or yada yada

hence i am now slowly learning to let go and sell off some of their toys...

it is definitely not easy especially the educational ones like the magnetic cards, or my montessori stuff

it does make me feel miserable not being able to use them now

 kj couldnt wait for me to prepare his dinner so he dived in by scooping rice into his bowl

what amazed me was he also helped himself to the vege!

KS 20 months old

dirty little secret

4.5 years old now. sigh. i admit, i lose control over him. his dad who is more calm can handle him better.

for now, i can only tolerate him 70% of the time. 30% of the time he will be whining or answering back..etc haha

anyway, we do have our little secret banter.

one day we were in a coffee shop and i went to the loo, with him. i can't put him outside on his own while i do my business so both of us went into the cubicle.

it was a squatting toilet, so i squat! and pee. he too, squat down and and lowered his head to check ME out! he says mommy! why woman don't have penis but water can still come out?

next, i was in the bathroom in our house and suddenly he pop his head in. yes, we don't lock our doors when we bathe ;)

then he caught me peeing into the toilet bowl, standing up! :p haha!

and he O.O. mummy! why did u stand and pee? only boys pee standing up. -________-
