The end of the week

One whole week at home with Dylan is no joke. Luckily mum is in town. Either one of us HAS to be around with him ALL the time unless he's sleeping. I think the main discomfort is his gums as he's always digging into his mouth. His 3+4 little red blisters were long gone. And yes, I'm truly looking forward to going back to office, need some sanity restoration after staying home for a week with Dylan.

Dylan has become IPad addict. When he sees the IPad, he would chant for it and squirm and cry if he's not given. It comes handy especially when we want to have dinner in peace. Having the Ipad would mean less sticky Dylan at dining time and less walking over to beg for food at our dinner. During his meal time he would asks for my phone. It seems I have to hide it before putting him onto the high chair for meal. He could quietly sit through his meal if the IPhone is there, then it's a breeze for mum or I to feed him. His favorite apps is educational Ocean Animals (I think he likes fish a lot!) and Fruit Ninja (where he goes berserk 'slashing' my phone) Else it's war at mealtime.

This morning I showed him a flashcard of a bowl of rice, and he said, "Mum mum". Oh boy.. what a word. When it comes to fish and apple, he got the words right, thought not pronounced perfectly.

Every morning he would try his luck by pressing the power on button on the TV, quickly climbs on the couch and wait for the TV to come on. If it's a non-cartoon channel, he would go back to the TV and turn it off and turn on again. (Typically at night my mum would watch the Mandarin news.) He thinks that by pressing the power on button would change the channel to Playhouse Disney or Cartoon Network. Fortunately it doesn't. 1-2 days later he figured he does need the controller to do the job. Since the power on button on the TV doesn't change the channel, he would grab the controller and press. Well, Dylan Ooi thinks any controller would do the job, so we had put the Starhub controller far far away from his reach.

Yesterday I had to work a little from home, though I'm on leave. Dylan was bored so he came in the study and put his hand on my arm and said, "Mommie, mimi".... awwwww for the 1st time I have become Mommie. During nap time yesterday too he pat on my arm to see if I was asleep yet, he too called out Mommie. Finally mimi has become Mommie. :D
