(26 May) Amusing musings

Recently, Daddy was changing Xun's clothes and you said it was a shirt-skirt (it was a top with some frills at the base). Daddy was amazed and asked if I taught you that term. I replied no....You giggled and told Daddy, " I am so clever. I know everything." Hahahahha...you are sooooo funny...

Xun: I love your rosy and chubby cheeks. Tong is rather petite compared to you...you are just so gangly...

The two of you always fall asleep in the car...ha...

You were tickled when I showed you this photo...

Such sweet sweet sleep...



Xun, you love watching cartoons. Mummy finds Kai-Lan particularly educational. It taught you ways to deal with problems, for ex when a friend gets frustrated when things don't go his way, they sang a song "when you are feeling mad, the first thing you do, is calm...calm...down", plus did some side to side swaying exercise. Another time, it taught you to draw a picture or write a card to the person whom you miss..So one night, we forgot to bring your milk bottle home and you were really upset...

So daddy taught you to draw a card for the bottle...You came in excitedly to tell me about it and showed me the drawing...heh heh...I told daddy how proud I AM of you and how you are very resilient and very capable of managing your emotions...you hardly throw tantrums, you are very teachable, you have great reasoning...you have an awesome sense of humour...Wai Po says you are way too mature for your age. Most importantly, you have such a great sense of Jesus' presence in your life..whenever something happens, you will always ask me to pray...like you are sick with fever...and we pray Jesus has healed you...like when the TV shows were being disrupted due to transmission signals, when they came back, you gushed how Jesus had repaired the TV so quickly...you are going to be such a warrior for His kingdom...

 

Daddy lost the original pic. I asked him to draw again so we could capture it for eternity : )

My handsome little tong tong

 You are mummy's little sweetheart...wai po likes you to cut the crew hair cut coz she thinks you look more manly in it. laugh...you are such a little charmer, all the old and young women are smitten by you. Just now in the car, you were talking and chuckling to yourself the entire time...I wondered what you were talking about...you love to make this funny snoring sound...heh...whenever you want to sleep, you will whine "orr orr" and want to suckle. You have this funny habit, you like to start nursing in the living room for a while, then I can carry you to the bedroom...sometimes you will still struggle for you really love hanging outside to play with daddy and jie jie...you seem so unwilling to go to bed even though you are clearly tired...

I used to just bring one bottle out for two of you to share...But you were always fighting, so I finally bought two..ha

You love to cuddle up to me...you are a very feely person, when we sleep, you must always be in contact with me..I love your super warm body and sweet breath...I love you nestling under my armpit as you suckle to sleep...I love to cuddle your rotund body...I wish you would always remain so cuddly and adorable...orrrrr...I can't imagine the sullen teenage years...oh wait...mayb you and jie will nev experience that for God Himself will teach you and we need not comply to the world's norm! I shall pray for that everyday!

 

 

My hunk my hunk...

 This video documented how agile and athletic you are...I told papa I am preparing you for military training...I always let you climb and crawl around the playground when you were little...I taught you how to do backside down from a higher place and I trust you will be able to get around so I leave you to your own devices...well...one ah ma who frequents the playground has told wai po's neighbour about it, insinuating I seem to be a "careless" mum...Wai po's neighbour retorts that because you are allowed to roam, you have started walking at 11.5 months! ha..indeed, I have the same philosophy as Wai Po. She always let you attempt stunts, like jumping from the sofa to the mattress. She says she knows you are actually very cautious, and the more protective we are, the less guarded you are. But when you are left to fend and take care of yourself, you show higher awareness and will be careful...Reasoning is not of what the world commonly endorses..but heh...wai po is an amazingly wise woman...and we are not of the world too : ) we are Jesus' children...we are the light of the world, salt of the earth...

 

Mummy loves the two of you to bits. Daddy is rather good at taking care of the two of you alone now! On sats when I work, he will bring the two of you to go and swim and he can fetch you to ah ma's house! That leaves a precious sat morning for mummy to go for facials and massages. What a luxury...yeh...and he has been coming up with really interesting ideas for outings, like he took us to West Coast Park and he plans to bring us to Turf City for the pasarbella market! Recently, he gushed on Facebook (I wonder if you will know FB in your era) how grateful he is to me for sacrificing my career to take care of you. He says he sees the benefit and the two of you are growing up beautifully!

 

Know that any kind of sacrifice is worthwhile..because..you put a smile on my face and a spring in my steps..you put a tune in my heart and joy in my soul...Love lots.
