Imitating the Adult

by

As kids grow, their level of curiosity increases and they love to imitate the adult’s action. 

That was our MP3 player. He has been watching us pluging in the earphone. He attempted to play with it and finally got hold of it one fine day. And so this is what I found him doing. He knows which end and which hold to plug the earphone in.

He knows the earphone should be inserted to the ear.

 

And when you sounded him, there he lies on the floor with the why-cannot and i-am-angry look. Don’t blame me. I never did this in front of him.

During meal time, we will place some dishes on his plate. Nowadays, he tries to scoop from the dish plate himself. Obviously it is too far for him to reach and sometimes he scooped spicy dish.

So, parents out there, we better be good boys and girls if we want our little ones to be good as well. 😛

A Long Walk

by

So what did we do during the last Labour’s Worker’s Day holiday?  We wanted to bring Jonathan boy to a place where he can run around and get wild without us tailing behind him which also means that we can keep and eye on him while we sit back and enjoy the sunny day. 😛  

And so we ended up at Taman Pertanian Bukit Cahaya (previously known as Bukit Cheraka) and Wet World Shah Alam.  Darling wants to see how much Bukit Cahaya has changed after 10 years and I want to bring Jonathan for a bicycle ride. And we thought a dip in the water will be satisfying after being under the hot sun and so we decided to go to the Wet World Shah Alam.

Here are some photos to share and more photos were posted in Facebook.

That’s baby cocoa. So many ripe ones not being harvested and got eaten by squirrels. I am so tempted to pluck the ripe ones to eat.  Those were the days when I helped my parents in the orchard planted with cocoa and banana trees.

We were proud of Jonathan as he is full of energy. He walked with us without whining much. He did asked us to carry once a while but we diverted his attention. Whenever he was tired, he stopped and squat/sit on the ground. 

Both Darling and I will continue to walk, pretending not noticing him, but he didn’t fall into our tricks.  He knows Daddy and Mommy won’t leave him there. And so we encouraged him to stand and continue walking. 

At certain juncture, we will carry him as he deserved to be carried after a long walk by himself.

Half way the walk, he was really restless and he slept in Daddy’s arm. He missed the animal farm and bicycle ride so that means, we are going to be back there again!

With body full of sweat, we headed to Wet World Shah Alam for a dip. More of for Jonathan to enjoy the waters. No pic as I don’t have a water proof camera. Entrance per adult is RM10 and children is RM7  (free for those below certain height). We find it reasonable if you are looking for a water place for the kids and not expensive. But let me warn you that if you are looking for extreme activities like what you have in Sunway Lagoon, this is not the place for you.  They do have but not only a few. And also the children slides are not well maintained. We did not complain about it because all we want is just a water place for Jonathan to play by himself and of course, not expensive.

We had a fruitful weekend and how I wish for more!

Mother’s Day Special

by

 

Sames goes to all mommies out there! Here is a story to share which I received via forwarded email…

* * * * * * * *

When I came home in the rain….

Brother asked, “Why didn’t you take an umbrella.”

Sister advised, “Why didn’t you wait till rain stopped.”

Father angrily warned, “Only after getting cold, you will realize.”

But…

Mother, while drying my hair, said, “Stupid rain! Couldn’t it wait till my child came home?”

Cheers!
