Ian turns 35 mths old....

This mth, we see more changes in the little boy who is soon turning 3 yrs old....how time flies past, he has celebrated his 3rd Christmas and very soon his 3rd CNY and then his 3rd bday....this mth he has kind of slowed down in his request for his used to be all time fav apples and papayas and now instead asking for more 'exotic' fruit like cheries, mangoes, plums and durians so we often have to start scouting for such fruit coz they dun come at all seasons like apples...and this reminds us of an occasion when we (adults) shunned from the rather bland dragon fruit which ah maa has cut 1 Sun (some many mths ago) and Ian was the only one who was asking for more....its a fruit that is quite of its own but Ian could eat quite a far bit hhmm so now gotta look for more fruit that is of his liking since we forbid him to take oranges, watermelon and grapes coz of the likelyhood of causing cough....

And last wk he surprised po2 when he stayed over at po2's pl when he could find the tiny screwdriver and took out the screw so that he could remove the batteries and then put everything in place again and true enough last Fri, he showed mama he could change batteries for his own toy hhmm wonder issit coz he has been observing us doing so much that he's able to do them himself but truly, this boy is getting more independent in wanting to do things 'himself' and only when he has tried and realised he's unable to then he will relent and ask for help hhmm so much abt growing up =p or maybe he wanna be a handyman just like his daddy huh

This mth, Ian has also been introduced to a drink which he loved so much -RIBENA!!! And now he could recognise more drinks when he's at the drink stall...beside the usual milo, carrot juice and now he's asking for ribena...just 2 weeks ago, he actually wanted Carrot Juice (the pokka can kind) and he told us 'Wait, let me go and order' and he really walked up to the drink stall but only to retreat when the drink stall uncle started smiling at him hahaaa so much for his guts wanting to order his own drink huh....these days he will wanna buy this and that and when we ask him 'where's ur $$?' then he will be stumped and then say 'At po2's house' which he has a train piggy bank which po2 and ah gong have been the ones giving him 'donations' to his piggy bank and he thinks with that $$ he could go Australia again hahaa....well Ian, ur piggy bank is not bottomless pit =) like u wished huh

Oh no....this mth is NOT the mth Ian's been abused....its just a sign he has 'ripped po2 off some plasters' coz he will moan to po2 to say his insect bite wound is 'hurting' and he needs to put cream and need plaster to ensure he doesn't scratch it again so there was a day he came back with this many plasters on 1 leg...so thot better take a pic to remind him to return po2 this many plasters when he's older....and yes, the incident at po2's place did make the old folks worry quite abit coz he was v much in tears during the incident but this also tells us that grandparents' love is quite different from parents huh....anw the sawed off plank will be a reminder of how much po2 and ah gong loved this boy hhmm will show him when he's bigger but he's not fearful of the repeat as he is still 'fighting' to lie on the 'throne' with ah gong every wk....hhmm this is the 'bo kia si' attitude huh

This mth is a v special mth coz we finally see our boy able to let go of us when it comes to attending wkly Sun Sch and Bible Sch and it means alot to mama coz it means the boy has grown up and he's really able to let go of mama and trusting that mama will come back to pick him up (as promised) and he's understanding that mama and daddy can't be at sch with him and he is definitely looking fwd to going sch daily (as he hears so much abt gor2 and jie2 going to sch) so twice a wk sch is definitely a gd start for him to start real sch =)

1 more mth before our boy is gonna turn 3 and he's been waiting for his bday to come as he sees everyone blowing their candles mth after mth...and always wanting to cut others' cakes as well...guess he will be real happy when the day finally comes and finally he can understand the meaning of bday huh =)
