Voei Ton’s Song

Yesterday when we were on the way back home, I went to buy bread while Voei Ton, daddy and kakak waited for me in the car.

When I got into car, Voei Ton asked me: “The bread is for who?”
I answered: “For everybody…”

Then, within a second, all of us heard this song from him:

“Everybody, Voei Ton, kakak, daddy, mummy,
All eat bread, all eat bread…”

Though simple, all of us can’t stop laughing and it is really very sweet…

玮栋咬人了?!

我眼中的儿子,是不伤人地,反而是容易被别人欺负地。

朋友的孩子来我家,一个不如意,就将他推一边,然后用手指抓他,他反应不过来,被伤害了,也静静地。

小表弟小他半个头,抢了他的食物,他也不会抢回来,只会呜咽找妈咪。

上个周末,去游乐场玩,有个像小贝比的女娃娃,走到他面前,大力推动他乘坐的木马,然后用手推他,但,他也若无其事的只是瞧着女娃娃。一旁见状地爸爸看不过眼,事后告诉玮栋:“People cannot push 玮栋。玮栋must say no when people push you!”玮栋似懂非懂地,没什么反应。

星期五,拨电话给玮栋,家婆就告诉我:“玮栋被老师投诉了,说他咬人,但,已经责备他了。”我惊讶得说不出话来,问家婆发生什么事了,老人家说她没问,不清楚。没法,唯有拨电话给老师问个清楚。

原来,在老师教颜色的时候,玮栋手里拿着一个颜色,令一个印度小朋友手里拿着令一个颜色,两人都坚持班里的同学喊自己手里的颜色,就这样,玮栋咬了同学一口。老师说,咬得不深,浅浅的。老师也将此事告诉了印度小朋友的母亲,印度小朋友的母亲很大量,不但没责备玮栋或老师,反而说很可能是自己孩子调皮。

回到家,问玮栋:“You bite friend?”

玮栋:“No!”

妈咪:“You kiss friend?”

玮栋:“Yes.”

妈咪:“You kiss boy boy or girl girl?”

玮栋:“Boy boy!”

妈咪:“Why 玮栋 kiss friend?”

玮栋:“People cannot push 玮栋!”

这,就是我和孩子的对话。心里想,不是我要为孩子辩护,只是情况会不会是在老师没察觉的情况下,玮栋被印度小朋友推了一把,然后,他又忽然间记起爸爸说不能被别人推,所以就咬了小朋友一口。

虽然告诉了玮栋以后不能咬人,咬人不对,被咬很痛,也打算让他星期一向印度小朋友道歉,但,心里还是觉得不太足够,担心孩子是否明白。。。

Voei Ton..oh my boy!!!

Few incidences happened yesterday in a short span of 2 hours in between of I met Voei Ton at grandpa and grandma’s house and on the way to go back home.

X X X X X

Once I reached in law’s house, in law amusingly told me that: “Voei Ton kena teacher complaint today…”

I was shocked and before I am able to respond, in law continue: “Voei Ton refused to join the swimming class today and when teacher tried to persuade him, he told teacher: I say I don’t want swimming means I don’t want swimming… teacher was stun as this kind of sentence can be blurted out by a 2 years old boy…”

As mummy to Voei Ton, I also felt astounding for this kind of remarks that he can make…he may have learnt all this from us…hmm..i think we need to be extra careful when we speak and behave in front of him.

X X X X X

On the way back to our home.

Voei Ton: O for Real Kids.
Mummy: No, R for Real Kids.
Voei Ton: F for Real Kids.
Mummy: No, R for Real Kids.
Voei Ton: No. R for Radio.
Mummy: R can for Radio, R can for Real Kids, R also can for Rabit.
Voei Ton: (Close his ears with two hands and shaking his head) Cannot, cannot, cannot. R for Radio only not Real Kids.

Aih…how can I convince this stubborn son?

X X X X X

After keeping his mouth shut for a while, Voei Ton started to sing songs that I never hear before.

“Sit on the carper, cross your leg…”
“Sit on the carper, cross your leg…”
“Sit on the carper, cross your leg…”

Then, followed by this:

“Butterfly, butterfly, fly in the garden.
Butterfly, butterfly, fall in love.
Butterfly, butterfly, fly, fly, fly.”

Hmm…though simple, the feeling is so sweet to hear his innocent voice to sing out all these songs.

2 3 4 Days

I have been abandoned this blog for far too long. Too tired when reach home and most of the time I have been dozed off when accompany |Voei Ton to sleep.

So many things that I have yet to jote down and I know that with every new encounters, fresh feeling, the old one will gradually lose its charm for me to jote down.

X X X X X X X X

Voei Ton second day to school is fine and I have been able to describe his personality to his class teacher. On the second day morning, I stop my car in front of the school and surprisingly, he allows his class teacher to carry him to the school. After I park my car, I go and peep on him and he is just doing fine though still no interaction with other kid. He sit on a small chair together with other kids and play the block together. After some 15 minutes, I tell myself to let go and don’t be over protective. So, I go home and wait to fetch him from school.

I go to the school again at 10.30 am as the teacher informed us that the newly enrolled children can go back slightly earlier before they familiarize with the entire environment. When I reach the school, I peep at Voei Ton again and do not want to disturb him or to let him realize that mummy is here. He is ok in the classroom, walk here and there as the children just finished their swimming class. When one the kid tells teacher that he wants to go toilet, Voei Ton go and approach the teacher and tell the teacher he wants to go to the toilet as well. I am so happy for his courageous. He is not as shy as I think.

When he steps out the classroom and realizes that I am here, he is just blushing.

Second day in school goes well. Teacher informed that he is a little timid to go the center of the swimming pool unless the teacher holds his hand. He is just sitting at the edge of the swimming pool at other time. Another good news is, teacher assures me and inform me can let Voei Ton goes to school diaper-free.

X X X X X X X X

Third day of school. Today is the first day that Voei Ton does not wear his diaper to school. I am so nervous for him and keep on reminding him that, “Son, if you want to go toilet, remember to tell teacher Sunitha. You can just tell teacher, teacher I want to go shee-shee.” Voei Ton is so quiet. I remind him along the way from home to school.

When he reached school, similar to yesterday, he happily waves goodbye to me. Again, I peep on him again to ensure that he is fine before I leave the school with a more open heart.

Today, I reach the school at 11.00 am and stand outside of his classroom without him realize until the teacher tells him. His class teacher is so excited and tells me that: “Wow, today your son is able to call my name and tell me what he wants. You know, for the first half year I teach in this class, only 1 student is able to call my full name and your son is the second one.” I am blushing with the praise that Voei Ton gets. Then, the teacher continues: “Voei Ton sang few songs in front of the class. His gesture is like he is holding a mic.” This time, I am fairly surprise. He is so shy in front of us and every time when we ask him to perform, he will just hide behind our back.

To prove what she said is true, teacher asks Voei Ton to call her but Voei Ton hides at my back instead of calling her.

I keep on thinking that are we too protective over him, hence, make him so dependant on us. He lost his courageous and confidence in front of us.

What is the way that we can encourage him more?

On the fourth day, Voei Ton is having MC due to high fever…..haha…

While

On the fifth day, it is mummy’s turn to not feeling well…

Ye Ye, Playground!

Voei Ton is so cute.

This morning, as usual, we passed by the large playground in Taman Setia Indah. The only difference is I pointed at the playground and told Voei Ton: “Playground.” Voei Ton looked at the playground and I asked him: “Do you want to go there?”

He replied: “Go there! Go there!”

I said: “Mummy needs to work. Later, you go Ye Ye’s house, you tell Ye Ye – Ye Ye, I want to go to the playground!”

Son no replied. I shortened my sentence and told him: “Or you can say – Ye Ye, I want playground.”

Knowing the sentence is definitely too difficult for him, I just said it out as a part and parcel of his learning process. I simplified my sentence further: “When Voei Ton sees Ye Ye, Voei Ton can say – Ye Ye, playground!”

Once we reached my in-law house, as usual my father in law stepping out the house. Once Voei Ton sees Ye Ye, unexpectedly, he said: “Ye Ye, playground!” Wow, I am so surprise with this little lad and I am really proud of him.

A memorable day that worth to note it down.

给宝贝的一个回忆

宝贝儿,

妈咪常将你的一举一动都记在脑海里,摄录在手机里,就是鲜少将它笔录下来。看到其他妈咪的用心,常使妈咪惭愧不已。

一眨眼,你已经是一岁半了,真令人感叹时间飞逝呀!那天早上,妈咪无意间在黑暗里看了你一眼,心里有点震撼,哇!我的宝贝很“长”啊,不再是baby了,像个大小孩。

最近的你,老爱举起小手,一巴掌的盖到daddy mummy脸上,然后就“呵呵呵”的大笑起来。对你来说,这是一个很好玩的游戏。妈咪不打你,因为我要以身作则,让你知道,打人是不对的。当妈咪板起脸,对你说“不”时,你看着我,一副innocence的样子, 根本不懂我在说什么。当我对你说“痛痛”时,你也blur blur的,到底妈咪要怎么做,你才懂不能打人呢?

昨天啊!你好好笑哦!你懂吗?你竟然将汤匙当成叉一样,将面包叉起来,放进嘴里。然后,妈咪示范了一次用汤匙舀饭,然后放进嘴里,你也跟着做了,还很成功呢!恭喜恭喜!妈咪记得数个月前,你尝试了好多遍,但,失败了,然后你呢,就玩臭的用手将面包放进嘴里。

你懂吗,从上几个礼拜开始,早上当妈咪将你载到爷爷奶奶家时,你都紧紧地抱着妈咪,妈咪心里很甜,也很酸。妈咪懂你不舍得妈咪去做工,但,没办法啊!妈咪答应你,我会每天都很efficient地处理工作事务,尽量早回家看你,抱你,陪你。


还有还有,你晚上一看到妈咪,就不让daddy陪你睡,坚持要妈咪陪在你身边,daddy hor吃醋了。你要知道,不管妈咪有没有在你身边,你都在妈咪心里。

现在的你,老爱妈咪跟你玩“busuk busuk”游戏,怎么玩呢?就是妈咪嗅嗅你的头,然后就说“busuk busuk”,这也能使你笑反天。太可爱了!

对哦,写到这里,妈咪突然想到爸爸很久没让你玩遥控汽车了。妈咪记得爸爸第一次在你面前玩时,你竟然被吓到了。当遥控汽车驶到你面前的抱枕时,你很快地就将你的抱枕救在怀里。哈哈!

妈咪有了你,觉得十分满足。就算有什么不如意的事,再不快乐,看到了你,所有事情都被搁在一旁了。

孩子,妈咪希望你可以继续地快乐健康成长。

Not walking yet?!

My boy is now 15 months ++ old but still refuse to walk by himself. He can walk very well when we hold one of his little hands. He can even direct us the place he wants to go. He can walk pretty quickly when we hold his hand.

We have tried to dupe him to walk by himself and he succeeded. When his papa held his hand, I stood a distance from him and he walked towards me. He has walked in total eight steps (four steps each time) all by himself without us supporting him. When, he finally realized our trick, he stopped walking and held his papa’s pants tightly. I refused to give in and stood still there. He, too, refused to continue walk without support. He looked at us with pity eyes and look around his surrounding. After a few minutes of hesitant from both sides, he found his solution to walk towards me eventually.

He held his papa’s pants with one hand when he tried to put his hand on the see saw that he needs to put effort to reach on. When he finally get hold on the see saw, he walked to me by holding the see saw. I can’t stop cuddling and hugging him when he reached me. Both hubby and myself were surprised by his inspiration.

My mum once told me that toddle will start to walk automatically when they get ready but I still cannot stop hoping that he can walk independently as soon as possible.

I know that it is good for him to want to hold our hand to go to the direction he wants instead of running here and there all by himself and we need to chase after him but I can’t stop hoping him can run around by himself.

I am determining to find some ideas on line to encourage him walking independently. When I browsed through the internet, I found that many children also only can walk when they reached 16 months, 20 months some even at 22 months. I have a mix feeling after reading these.

However, my heart is enlighten and I felt so impressed and start to let go my worries after i read the following quote by a parent from Berkeley Parents Network about late walker:

“maybe the other parents have never heard this is common among genius children. He may be a profound philosopher more into thinking and internal processes rather than running/ doing physical stuff. I would guess others' hold more judgment on boys for this trait, as boys are pushed toward sports, etc. from earlier on than girls, but certainly our world needs boys and men who are capable of deep thinking.... don't know what to do about others' rudeness but once you become more assured and confident that he IS normal and /or extraordinary the comments may roll off more easily.... good luck with your wonder boy. anon.”

Hehe..this is so good right? Wink..wink…

Son, you touch my heart..

孩子,你触动了我的心。。。

玮栋渐渐的长大了,开始模拟大人的一举一动。这两个星期,他给了我许多许多惊喜。。。

每天早上替他洗澡时,都会拿着他那五艘小船,告诉他“Boat Boat"。上星期五,当我拿起那几艘小船时,毫无预警地,竟然听到他说:“Boat Boat”。哇,刹那间,全世界都停止了旋转。真的好感动。。。好感动。。。又一次让我体会到身为一个母亲的心情。现在的他,已学会了七个单词:爸爸,妈妈,car car, flower, bird bird,nian nian(milk), BOAT BOAT。。。那天,虽然电脑又故障了,但,我还是很开心,很开心了一整天。


上星期六,带着孩子与女佣去商场,on the way时,玮栋竟然开始哼歌,而且还是很长气那种:nya nya nya...nya nya nya~ ~ 哇,还好机警的我及时将他的歌声录了下来。

星期一,吃晚餐时,他竟然捏了我很多很多下,很痛耶!

星期二早上,他看到kakak时,竟然尖叫,过后还格格笑,然后又尖叫,叫后又在笑。好可爱。

星期三,工作压力很大,电脑很不中用,Internet ID竟然无端端logout了,要找资料又找不到,心情糟透了。回家途中,想到了BB,但,却于事无补。在车里发泄了好一阵子才去家公家婆家接孩子。抱起BB,心里安定了一些。相往常时,对BB说:“来,kiss mummy一下。”平时说完这句话,他都没有反应,都是我在他脸上亲一下。今天,当我说完了这句话,他竟然拥着我,在我脸上亲了一下,还是有声音“ng ah”有口水那种。哇,我欣喜得立刻喊家公家婆,大声喊:“玮栋kiss我了,还有声音呢!”

不用说,那一晚的我都轻飘飘的。。。好爽,好爽。。。
