‘Tarrific’

“Ta, ta, ta, ta,” that’s Kyle favorite word. Hardly any more “ma ma-s” or “da da-s”, “ta ta ta” seems to be the only sound that comes out of his mouth lately. I haven’t quite figure out what that means.
He is also extremely fond of doing his ‘red indian greeting’; tapping a palm to his mouth and going ‘waw-waw-waw-waw’ at the same time. That’s his version of butterfly kisses, or how my mom usually puts it ‘flying kisses’. He usually intersperse that with ‘gong xi, gong xi’; palms interlocked together with a rocking movement…a ‘leftover’ skill acquired from the Chinese New Year.
As for his latest ‘trick’? It’s being able to open his mouth wide, with his top lip covering his gum and teeth when he hears the cue, ‘How tiger yawn?’ He learnt that from imitating how a tiger yawned at his recent trip to the zoo with Granddad and Nana on Friday.

A Sunday of Firsts – Part 2

Kyle got hold of the straw and tried his first attempt at drinking from the straw
“I can do it myself, you really do not need to help me mommy…”

See how pleased he looked after he drank up more than a third of water from the cup with the straw.

A Sunday of Firsts – Part 1

Today is a day of first experiences for Kyle; it started out after lunch with his first haircut at Junior League in Suntec City.
Prepping up for the haircut
So far so good while I tried to distract him with Thomas the tank engine cartoon on the screen.

Kyle lost his patience and started yelling and fidgeting, while I desperately tried to entertain him with a box of sweets.

A sweet found its way into Kyle’s mouth and successfully distracted him for a moment…

Tada! New spunky haircut and mom heaves a sigh of relief.
