Little house cleaner

Little boy is growing up well and always want to help up nowadays! He is interested in every single thing in the house... rubbish to be thrown to dustbin, waste paper to be arranged in the storeroom, empty water bottles to be filled up, etc.

Our maid comes on every Sunday. That's the time he can help more because we allow him to 'wash' the car porch with the maid. Also, that's the time he can play more because we will just let him be, haha!



He is always alert and looking for empty buckets so that he can 'help' up. He helps by carrying the empty buckets around, telling us there is no more water inside. Sometimes he will pass to the father or maid to fill up, provided he has another empty bucket with him.



He lifted up the empty bucket not because he wanted to place it under the water tap, but because he wanted to carry it around the car porch. Sometimes he may even lift it up to cover his own head. That happened few times and made the two boys of my neighbour laughed out loud! That's really funny!



Jayden is such a lovely cheerful boy! He enjoys everything happens around him and loves to be one. I hope he is still the same when he grows up.

Thanks Jayden! Daddy and mummy appreciate your 'hard work'! Love you......

To the same friend

"hey , i just re-read the blog that you dedicated to me ... guess what .. i shed my tears again .....alot of memories suddenly across my mind :) anyway i really wishing you a great and happy NEW YEAR .....miss yeah ...."

Something caught my attention as I opened my gmail - a message from my friend! A friend who is always in my heart yet I hardly show my care.

I read the blog that I dedicated to her before she left to UK and the same feeling came back to me - To a friend! I wrote that with tears, and I read it now with tears still. Why do I bother to cry but don't bother to call? What a silly thing I have been doing all this while!!

"Wendy, I will call you after work today ya?! We should talk to each other instead of write... miss yeah too..."

Friendly boy

My little boy is always friendly. He waives to whoever since he learns to waive and the meaning of it. He is almost like a celebrity because he waives too much, ha! I remember one time when we were in the airport, taking flight back to Jo's hometown, he waived to whoever walked pass him. We ended up being the focus of a group of tourists from Middle East, and were requested to have a photo with them!

Since he learns to say "Hi", he says "Hi" at the same time he waives. Same thing, he waives and says "Hi" to whoever. When we are in the restaurant, we will put him into the baby chair. He will waive and say "Hi" to people sitting in all directions, right, left, front and back. He makes friends EVERYWHERE!

Now, his friends' list is extended to......



We were in the restaurant where he found something interesting!
"Cool... it can move!!"



"Hi..."



Ha... fishes this time!!!

In fact, now he waives and says "Hi" to whatever he finds interesting, characters in the TV show, dogs and cats, babies on the diapers packing, kids on the advertisement board roadside... I hope he can maintain his "friendliness" when he grows up.

Little boy's family game

My little boy likes to play with my big boy. Big boy plays all sorts of funny and creative games which the mother is not good at. He sometimes giggles, sometimes laughs out loud... and he demands for more when big boy stops. I like to see the boys playing together, it's their father and son game!

Since Jo is away most of the time nowadays, Jayden loses his very good playmate. But he is not feeling bored because he creates his own game. I guess his creativity must be coming from the father! He now plays his own family game!



Family Game
Things needed:
(1) Daddy's water bottle
(2) Mummy's water bottle
(3) Jayden's water bottle

Role:
(1) Daddy's water bottle will be Daddy
(2) Mummy's water bottle will be Mummy
(3) Jayden's water bottle will be Jayden

How to play:
(1) One by one, take Daddy, Mummy and Jayden from one place to another
(2) Place Jayden in the middle
(3) Place Daddy on the right to Jayden

(5) After (1) - (4) are done, say "Daddy", "Mummy" and "Jayden" then clap hand
(6) Repeat (1) - (5) until you feel bored then look for real mummy



Jayden likes playing this game! The way he places those bottles is exactly how we stand whenever we bring him out. Jo always holds his right hand and I always hold his left hand. Other than intimating how we stand, I guess he also knows that he is our centre of interest.

Missing Jo

Jo has moved to a new company. His new job requires him to be away from home frequently and his first project is to be away 5 days a week, i.e. Sunday to Thursday. I wasn't paying too much attention about it until he started travelling.

I am doing the same routine every weekday... Wake up in the morning and get myself ready to work, then wake up Jayden and bring him to my mother's house. Bring him back after work, shower him, play with him and read him books before bed, feed him and make him sleep, then go to bed. These are the same routine but... Jo is not watching TV or helping house chores downstairs when I am busy with Jayden, Jo is not sitting besides us when I am playing with Jayden or reading him books, Jo is not around to turn on the alarm and put on blanket on us when we fall asleep...

I am also doing the same routine every Sunday... Wake up early morning to prepare Jayden's meals, do some house chores before the rest wakes up, taking breakfast with Jayden, bath Jayden and play with him, feed him lunch then make him sleep, having some private time during Jayden afternoon nap, feed him dinner when he is awake, shower him, play with him and read him books before bed, feed him and make him sleep, then go to bed. Again the same routine but... Jo is not in the football field with his friends when Jayden is taking nap or when I'm enjoying my private time, Jo won't be back home for dinner with us on Sunday night, no more family day on Sunday...

I never expect myself to feel so lonely and sad when Jo needs to work away from home. In fact, I was the one kept pushing him out for oversea work. I think I must be too crazy or over estimated myself... I cried the moment he left home, that really surprised me! I realised I'm so Jo's wife now and I miss him very much! I know I will soon get use to it, but I'm not yet now...
