A petit Picasso in the making??

I can hold pens, pencils, crayons like a big boy now. I used to grasp it in my hand (mommy calls it "gobb" Don't gobb, she will scold) and hated it when they tried to change the way I was holding the pens etc. I would refuse to continue drawing and ask them to draw instead!

The other day while Daddy was watching TV and I was seated beside him with my drawing board, Daddy glanced at my drawing then asked Mommy to hurry with the camera. This is what I told Daddy of my drawing.

(from right to left) "This is Bryan, this is Mommy, this is Daddy"

When Daddy asked "who's that?" (pointing to the far left "thing"), I just smiled
My mai-mais will say that it's a Mei-mei or Ti-ti but to me, brown doggy is equally important and a part of our family.....
(Mommy: Noticed how fierce the Mommy looked while the Daddy had a big jovial grin on his face....)

At Yi Po's house, my drawing table is covered with mahjong paper, so Yi Po or Po Po will change the used mahjong paper to a new one whenever I want to draw something with my crayons. Here I've drawn buses with people on it and the lines are curtains for the buses, in case it gets too hot. I'm into details, you see.

Mommy: Afraid some made-up words have stuck in his vocab like "gobb".

The other word would be "ahbook" for the round black thing i.e. bath stopper, sink stopper..

Don't remember how "gobb" started but for "ahbook" this is what happened.

We were staying in a hotel (can't remember which hotel) and the room came with shower only. The little one was terrified of bathing under the shower, so distracted him by tossing the only thing available at that time i.e. "ahbook" to see how and where it landed. He was laughing and laughing, and forgot that he was taking bath under the shower. Must have been quite young that time, and I had totally forgotten about"ahbook" until the other day, when he was brushing teeth, he saw the black stopper on the sink and said "See Mommy ...ahbook".

Now have to think how to take away "gobb" and "ahbook" from his vocab...sigh!

Pitch Perfect??

I love to sing.
Recently, they (Mommy, Daddy, Yi Po, Po Po etc) think I'm a little naughty coz' I'll change the lyrics to the tune. Like I'll sing "Do you know the MUSIC MAN, the MUSIC MAN, the MUSIC MAN" (Mommy: In a very loud voice when emphasizing the MUSIC word) instead of the MUFFIN MAN.

My current favorite is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and I'll ask Mommy to sing this song on the way to playschool. Mommy will obliged me... twice most, then switch on the nursery rhyme CD. She says Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a very long song and there are many words in it.

In case you don't know, Mommy is very particular about where the CDs are produced coz' previously she bought one that was published locally. She would complain to Daddy about the mispronunciation and the way the children were screeching at the top of their voices.

Recently Mommy got 4 new activity books (with CDs attached) which are published in UK.
One book costs RM 14.90 She's awfully pleased with the CDs, so I get to listen to the nursery rhymes in the car every day. I'm not that particular actually just as long as they put my CDs and not listen to NEWS and THEIR CDs.

Mommy caught a video of me singing "SO MANY SONGS" this morning and if you hear something that goes "ting de ting de ting de ting de ting de" - that's the "break" between songs, you see.

Hazardous Driver

LLMM will understand how much I enjoy my bike ride (RM 3 for 5 mins ride) as she has watched the episode "Akai kuruma (red car)" in the Japanese animation "Akachan To Boku (Baby and Me)". Minoru, the baby brother was presented with a battery-operated red car, and would keep the family awake and drive them crazy by driving his electric car the entire time.

I can press the pedal but don't know how to release it when I need to stop or brake.
Almost knocked down a smaller toddler whose grandmother gave us a dirty look..... Sorry!!!

See how I almost fell off my bike when I turned abruptly?
Hmmm.... definitely need more practice. DADDY! More RM 3 tokens please!
