Excerpts of Growing Up

I do miss dotting around the blog. How do I know this? When I start uploading stories and photos, I find it hard to stop. Countless events flash through my mind and I start to ponder, could there be only 24 hours a day? That's a great pity as there are surely 48 excerpts to upload.

Excerpts of Growing Up are what Daddy and Mummy hold close to our hearts:-

What does K say when he sees an escalator in a mall (Especially those steep, high ones, like the one at Parco Millenia Walk)?
"Oh look! Want to climb the ladder!" as he rushes toward the escalator scaling the heights with Daddy in tow.

Oranges are still K's favourite fruit of the season. He'll come to Mummy and say, "Mummy, want to eat orange".
"Want to put orange like this" as he holds an orange freshly taken out from the fridge and puts it onto his cheeks.
Always delighted by how cold the orange is (even if this is a daily routine) he'll go, "Mummy, it's cold!".
"Mummy, cheeks is (are) cold! Want to put on Mummy's cheeks."

Green apples are the new red! K loves the granny smith sweet crunchy green apples. Mummy couldn't be happier. 10 hurrays for green apples!

Sitting on his booster seat during daily car rides back from school, K exclaims energetically, "Oh look! That's a blue taxi." "Mummy, that's a red taxi!" "Oh look, yellow taxi! Want to go (sit in a) yellow taxi." K did the same while in a taxi one day and the Taxi Uncle was so tickled he said to K, "Yah, so many colours hor!" Btw, K is always friendly to Taxi Uncles and the rare Taxi Aunties. At the end of the trip, he would bid them farewell in appreciation for the exciting ride. He'll go in a sing-song manner, "Bye Bye Uncle. See you again Uncle!"

How do you know when your kid fully understands the meaning of Good Morning and Good Night? -- Mummy says to K, "Good night, K". K replies,"No! It's Good Morning!"
- Mummy greets sleepy K, "Good morning, K!" K replies while eyes still closed, "No! It's good night. Want to sleep (some more)."

How do you know when your kid understands what 'Lan fun chee' means? Mummy says to K, "Who is the Lan fun chee?" K replies softly while eyes still shut, "Daddeeeee!"

K found a best mate in school in a boy called Asher. Asher loves to run around and teachers say that Asher is more active than K. (Mummy can't imagine that!) One day, Asher ran around while class was in session and K suddenly decided to join in. Very soon, the whole class was running around. Oh my, imagine that! Since that day, Mummy and Daddy ask K:-
"Does Vivienne like to run?" - "No", K replied.
"Does Caleb like to run?" - "No, it's Asher!" K tells us delightfully.
"When Asher runs what must Kayne Kayne say?" - "Asher, sit down pleeeeeeaaaassse." K says obediently.
And then, Daddy and Mummy thought, what a good boy he is. Let's see what happens the next day. Erm... what can we say, they ran again!
