This week...

We'll be away. To HKG and of course Disneyland. We decided to go back again because of Zhi. Just want to test out if he is ok with flight. Hopefully the air pollution happening in HK now will go away tomorrow when we land there...

Zhi's Favourite Song

Zhi has become more vocal and "open" to singing after he started school. Previously, he is always so passive when we asked him to sing even though he was attending gym classes for a year.

Of course, his favourite song is always the Thomas & Friends' theme song. And we thought it was a huge achievement for him to be able to sing the entire song at one go. The only issue, he tends to sing in a very very soft tone. And its quite difficult to capture on video. Nevertheless, WF still managed to.

They've Grown So Much!

I chance upon this photo while updating our photos:


I supposed he sometimes do "regress" and act baby. Too bad, he's really outgrown the rocker (see how his legs sticks out). "Inspired" I went on to find the baby version of Zhi on this plaything. This is what I found:

When he was 8 months old:


And the best find: See how the two of them had changed and grown.

Zhi at 6 months, Ning at 2+ year old.

The Cheeky Boy

As Zhi outgrows the 'Terrible 2' stage and entering the 'Terrifying 3' phase end of this month, we find that this little boy is getting more and more fun loving and expressive. We used to say he's such a mild and quiet boy, very much unlike his sister. I guess we said it too early. Nowadays, he does demand his way with phrases like 'I don't want', 'NOOOO' etc. And he also comes up with a lot of facial expressions that never fail to make me laugh.

He has this thing about orange as the fruit as well as the colour. He'll tell you he likes the orange and brown macarons from Bakerzin and he likes orange. Hmmm.... such a feminine colour for a male.

In one of my previous posts, I mentioned he can sit at a corner and finish his orange. This is one of the consistent behaviour we've observed over the past one year. And of course, he added a dose of cheekiness lately. The half naked boy eating and playing with his fruit:


See... I'm so 'pro' at eating orange that I can go handsfree!

I don't know how he learnt about muscles and stuff. He started to act really 'cool' and strong when I put on the jacket for him once. And he walked around with the hood on his head going,"grrrhhh... I got muscles."

The Two Kids Praying Together

We really like this video a lot. Both of them so innocent and angelic (with some mischief on Zhi's side). And the sister acting like a real big sister leading the brother into prayer before their bedtime. I hope this will lasts forever...

P.S: You'll also notice how Zhi speaks his chinese with that 'slang'.

Zhi Getting Ready for School

Zhi's into his 3rd month of attending full day school. And in the past three months, he's grown to be more mature and independent. He's learnt to feed himself without creating a mess, button his shirt, wear his shoes and even carry his school bags and buckle the chest harness of his car seat.

Of course, speech wise, his vocab is expanding but he still speaks mandarin with an 'ang moh' slang which we never understood why since we've been conversing in mandarin with him since young.

He's just achieve the huge milestone of buttoning his entire uniform and I was so proud of him, I took a series of pictures. Here's to share:
