3 years old & 1 month

We celebrated your 3 years old birthday at home. Mummy bought an American chocolate cake and put a transformer on top. You opened your mouth wide when you saw it. We invited aunty Giok Mui and aunty Poh Leng too besides Sue Yin and Sue Lynn. Everyone bought you presents. You loved the cake. I usually talk to you after jie jie has fallen asleep every night. Last night, we had this conversation.. Mummy: How is Vital Years? JK: Ask me about Bao Bei Mummy: How's Bao Bei? JK: Hao Hao bully me. Mummy: How did Hao Hao bully you? JK: He beat me like this (while beating his own chest) Mummy: Then what happened? JK: Jie jie pulled him away Mummy: Oh, so jie jie saved you? JK: Yes. Mummy: Did you tell teacher? JK: Yes. Teacher beat Hao Hao's back. I like the part where you ask me to ask about Bao Bei. Last month we went to Bangkok & stayed few days at the hotel with da gu. After that, we stayed at Min Chee ah yi's house for few more days. There you played with Max & Carmella's lego. Ah Yi said you're such a good boy for not destroying the legos unlike their neighbour's kids. You sulked a couple of times by going into the room by yourself and mumbling away saying nobody wants to play with you. Everybody thought you're very funny. The other day I remembered something about you on the day you're born but I'm not sure if I've written it down before. So I'm going to write it in here incase I forgot. The day doc took you out from my stomach, I thought your cry was very loud. I told myself "That's really the difference between a baby boy and a baby girl huh". As I remembered, jie jie's cry was as soft as a kitten, so gentle. Your cry was like "I'm here! I'm a boy! GRRR!!!". Then nurse put your nose to my nose but upside down. I could smell you. I couldn't believe I finally see you. I didn't get to see you every month during the check up because you turned your head away. Later at night, everyone came to visit. I was holding you. Granny and Sin Yee ah yi were standing on my left. When they talked, your head turn to them and your eyes moved. It was like you recognise their voices. I didn't notice you do that when others were nearby. It happened few times. I thought you're very clever. When you were few months old, whenever we go to your baby cot to see you, you sure burst out laughing as if you had had a shock. Haha!! You love to watch TV, looking at your jie jie and chew your fingers. Your mittens were always wet and needed change few times a day.
