Bear Bear

There's the beary talk:
ZX started talking to his toy bear and showing him stuff, like car, fan, ball... you name it. And while at this exercise, he wants you to take the bear and interact with him like the bear's talking. Cute, but sometimes it gets too long and tiring. :P

Then there's the drawing sessions of bear, rabbit and cat:
I drew him a bear on his magnetic board for the first time last week, so now ZX will request for it.
He'd happily say "bear bear" whenever I drew him one, and he'll take the pencil and tried drawing with some strokes. I discovered his strokes are much more controlled now without the fast & drawing all over the board.

Yesterday I tried drawing a rabbit and a cat, and to my surprise, he know which is which. He laughed and told me "bit"/"ra bit" or "meow".

Mr. Instructor

Now the little boy instructs. Here are some scenarios.

1) Finger pointing to the place he wanted you to be, then said "zhuo4" (i.e. sit).
That's when he wanted you to:
~ Sit with him to watch BabyTV
~ Read for him
~ Lay down beside him while he's drinking milk. (Okay, this one with no voice command since his mouth is stuffed)
~ Sit down on the floor playing cars with him

2) He'll call "Lai2" or "Tam" (i.e. come) out to you or the cat to go to him.

3) And of course the usual "Bao4" (Carry!) for:
~ Every morning, carry him out to the kitchen to prepare his milk
~ Carry him to the window such that he can admire the "sampah chia" (dumpster truck) every morning, the cars and moon.

~ Mamabee is all warm and fuzzy

Chopped Liver

Felt like this every morning...

Nowadays, ZX wakes up and he'll call for his Papa straight away, even when I'm just sleeping beside him. He'll pick up his security beanie pillow and teddy, then off he went looking for his beloved Papa in the other room.

Sigh... can't help but feel sad.

Mamabee is is is........ chopped liver. :(
