Sleeping on His Own

This afternoon, I heard some grumbling and when I “unwillingly” stopped typing on my computer and walked to the baby cot.

I saw the following. 

My dear little ZX fell asleep on his own while I was surfing net!

That’s the wonder of baby, one minute before you need to carry them for 1 hour in order to make them sleep, the next minute on, you just dump them anywhere and they will fall asleep on their own.  Isn’t that amazing that they will give you a little surprise every now and then? :)

Second Outing with Little ZX

Mummy has a second outing alone with little ZX two days ago.  Since he was feeling happy while going out, mummy decided to go a bit farther.  He grumbled a bit when we were out at around 5 minutes and that really scared mummy out and almost wanted to go back home.

Finally, mummy decided to continue the journey and guess what, he fell asleep in the stroller! Woo hoo… :)

Talk Between Mummy and ZX

I love talking to ZX every night when he comes home with Papa.  But of course, we have to have a lower and softer tone in order not to wake little ZX up.  I have to observer ZX as well so as not to excite him too much too.

In any case, our conversation is all about things happening on the day time mainly in his school.

I have a little surprise last night while talking to him.

Mummy: What did you eat for your lunch today?

ZX: Rice.
Mummy: Chicken Rice?
ZX: No, rice.
Mummy: Ok, any fish?
ZX: Yes, and veggies. [ ok, I can’t verify but only to believe him ]
Mummy: Did you eat on your own or did any teacher feed you?
ZX: I ate on my own.
Mummy: Good, how many bowls did you have?
ZX: Two.
Mummy: Wow, really? Which teacher give you the second bowl?
ZX: Em…. I don’t-know-teacher, the green-colour-teacher.
Mummy: Well, you mean she is wearing green colour clothes?
ZX: Mummy, who is she [ what’s her name ] ?
Mummy: Err… [ my dear, how would I know? :) ]

I then named a few teachers he usually mentioned but none of them is the one.
Well, you have to find out on you own then.

Mummy: You ask tomorrow when you go to school again, let’s sleep now, ok?
ZX: ok.

A Half-hour Outing with Little ZX

Well, little ZX is only 3 months old, he can only stay in his stroller at this moment.

We went to the park and stayed there for a good half an hour in the sunny morning.  Perhaps it is nothing special to any mummy out there, but this is the first time mummy went out with little ZX in his stroller without Papa. 

[ Mummy kind of reluctant to use the stroller as it weighs around 9kg and though we have used it for ZX (kor kor), mummy still does not know how to fold it after use.  It is still in an “opened” position at the time I am writing this blog  :P ]

I Want to Help

When ZX is determined to help, we cannot reject him directly, and sometimes we have to find other things to distract him.

In the case of carrying the infant car seat, there is no other things so far we can use to distract him successfully.  So, Papa has to be very patient and walk at the same pace when ZX is to hold (pull) the infant car seat handle.

Update on 3 Year Old

Last week, we celebrated ZX’s 3rd birthday at his school.  I thought it is time to have some updates now.

He now attends a 3 hour flexi care during weekdays. 

He is supposed to eat on his own for his lunch in school. 
When leaving home on every morning, he will say good bye to mummy and little ZX.
His current favourite gadgets is mummy’s touch screen hand phone [and this hesitates me from upgrading my phone].
He is still attending to the Sunday enrichment class and he has a better involvement as compared to his shyness before.

He knows exactly the month and date of his, mummy’s, Papa’s and little ZX’s birthday.
He picks up phone now and then to call [quick-dial] his grand parents and talk to them without us around.
He insists on putting the seat belt and called Papa to stop the car once when Papa forgot to put it on for him.
He is forming a full sentence on his own, sometimes I do get surprise from him.
His teachers in school say he is a cheerful boy who always sings New Year songs when he comes into the class (oh, no…).

Lastly, not to forget, his current favourite activity with little ZX is to teach him number 0 to 9 and flash cards.

Turning to 3 YO

It was ZX’s birthday, we bought a cake for him and this year, he was celebrating it with his classmates. :)

I have told him that we will be going to his school and when he saw us from the glass door, he happily waved at us.  There were some cookies and drink in a small packet that we prepared for him to give to his classmates.  Papa wanted him to distribute the goodies bag himself so that he can learn the idea of sharing.  I like his smile when I took the pictures below.  It shows that he was really happy.

But poor ZX has been coughing on and off since eve of CNY.  We gave him one piece of cake and he still asked for it when he saw there were some kept for his teachers.  Of course, I said no. :P
