Dylan relates more and converses more these days. Some surprising replies to my ONE question with Dylan 1 on 1 today :
As he was passing urine during bath time, I said, "Wow you must had drank a lot of water". He replied, "Yes, Tr Marge put water. I drink water. I good boy"
Mommie : So what did you eat for lunch?
Dylan : I eat err.... err.. err... carrot, vege, soup (as verified with Shawn this is TRUE)
I didn't notice a teeth mark on his arm until dinner time. I asked him who bite him. He said, "Cadence". There is a boy called Kayden and a girl called Cadence. So he didn't act pain or anything and just went on with his dinner. Nah.. no big deal
During TV time he was holding on to Dr Doom and Ironman. Both were flying around with swoosh sound effect from him. He then said, "Suterman!" . I asked him who is Suterman, his answer was , "Dylan!" - Since Spiderman is known as Tutuman, perhaps it was supposed to be Superman???

Updates!
He got scolded tonight by YT because he was playing switches while standing at the edge of the bed. After lights off, I asked, if he can play switches, he said, "No". Then I asked, who scolded you, "Papa".
Whined Dylan, "Handy Manny, bad bad show. Change channel!"
When he wants to go somewhere he would say, "I want go there here!"
I think Dylan has improved in his vocabulary and speech quite a bit. So we could understand him better. Just that his temper is still just as fiery as mine, which we can both improve on that!

Dylan's quick update
We spoke to Mrs Lim this morning. She mentioned that he has changed his behaviour. He listens better and tends to 'sit longer in the class'. Less opportunity to go to her office for her to babysit. Even if he cries in class, she mentioned that the duration is much shorter. The last time when he threw tantrums and she has him in his office was also to let the teachers have time off from him, because it's just NOT him alone who does the drama thing.
Yesterday I saw double lid on his right eye. Finally his eyes look more symmetrical now. :P

Red eye
We brought him to the dr a couple of days back. Willing went up the weighing scale and also took his height. Weight was 14.9kg and height oh well, think about 90cm (from gauge). So all's well. There's a little red tinge on his eye. So we came back with some eye drops. I did some sumo wrestling to pin him down and drop the eye drop onto him. Eyes SHUT really really tight and course Dylan screaming away. So I drop the a few drops hoping somehow they'll get into his eyes. When he reopens his eyes the drops just went upwards onto his eye lashes. Bleah.. just hope the drops did get in and that he'll recover from the redness soon!

First post of 2012
Yesterday Dylan blurted 'never ever' on the 1st day of school in 2012. Not sure why he said that I was still groggy when I heard that.
As the boys were entering the gate, Dylan said, "I don't want office, I want breakfast". I think he had enough of me threatening him to send him to Mrs Lim office during the naughty times over the weekend. It was hillarious when I heard that. Perhaps it is his resolution for this year not to go to Mrs Lim office.
It was yesterday, for the 1st time, my kid had a lollipop in the house.

4 words sentence today - "I like this one" pointing at a bowl of soup
New word "Tawau tree" which is Christmas tree. Not too sure how he ended up with Tawau tree... :)
He loves to parrot after anyone these days. Love it when he says something wrong and with the sound effect of Ooo Ooo. :P

Parents/Teachers conference
PTC for Dylan was with the principal, Mrs Lim, Tr Florence and Chen laoshi. We sat there for almost an hour to speak about this kid. The teachers reassured us that he's getting better these days. They were saying that in comparison to other kids, Dylan takes a longer while to adapt to rules and regulations and he's just getting the message that there are rules to follow. Back in infant care, he is allowed to auto roam and do his own thing. In PG, he barely can sit down for 10seconds and always moving around disturbing others. He is also climbing onto the shelves, taking out toys and messing around. Only recently he has learnt through reward method that if he keeps the toys, he gets milk or food. So, I guess he's really just getting there... Apparently in school, when he pooped, he would declare to teacher that he had pooped, head over to his bag and grab the diapers. But at home, I would have to wrestle with him to get him changed! And in school, he would bring Chen laoshi's water bottle to her to drink during water time, and bring HER slippers to laoshi during outdoor activities! I almost fell off my chair when I heard this. It IS really UNREAL!

As of November...
Words that is not to my liking - Recently Dylan objects by saying "Don't want".
Food that is not to his liking, tried and tested too many times - steamed egg and tofu
Loves everything that is labelled under bread, radish, fried eggs with onions, stems of green leafy vege, cucumber
Recently there has been some burning smell in the air (despite torrential rain these few days), not sure which part of S.E.Asean is burning. And Dylan is down with leaky nose, now coughing a little. Ugghhh...

Update!
Dylan CAN speak mandarin. Other than saying 我要, he has some other vocab in tow... :)
Shawn said, "我要吃苹果"
Dylan replied, "我要 apple"
And he also said, "我要 水"
Not bad huh?
He's been catching up on speech.
- Recognising some other color red & blue
- Understanding WAIT (though it's still a short wait, it's better than nothing)
- Stand outside the kitchen (for the sake of multivit)
Dylan has been the funny guy. We asked him what's his name and he'll keep replying "Lo(ve)lette" with that cheeky smile. He's got a friend called Lovelette, he probably thinks her name is easier to pronounced than Dylan. Anyway we have NEVER heard him say Dylan. As for other names, he calls out to Justin with the J sound. BUT when he called the teachers he does it as Ah Tin (Tr Christine), Ah Mark (Tr Marge), Ah Let (Tr Violet). Funny kid!

Here we go again...
Few bad weeks ofcough, vomit, diarrhoea, nose leakage, 39.5Fever, now the infamous HFMD. My little bull now spots countless spots (previous encounter was 7spots) but tonight I saw way too many that I decided not to count. I can't stop cursing because it's frustrating as it's quarter end and everything is in limbo now.

Growing up with Shawn
9/21 new word : Chrysalis
Caterpillar become pupa. Pupa also known as chrysalis. Pupa is like that (palms claps together). After that pupa become butterfly. Every morning, a very "caring" Shawn would ask Dylan, "Didi do you want ipad?" With or without answer, he would open the study room door and get the ipad. If Dylan whines for it, then he'll give it to him else it's his. I would ask did he take the iPad out from the room, his answer would typically be because didi wants to play ipad.
Shawn doesn't need ME to put him to bed anymore. Putting him to bed = lying next to him and hold his hands. It's been a couple of days when he declares (while brushing his teeh) that he wants to sleep ALL by himself, on his own. YT tried a couple of times and said something like, "Papa lie next to you ok and pat you?" He replied, "No cannot, you are not my mommie". Then YT said, "Then mommie come in can she pat you?" Answer was, "May be"
Shawn : Ho Sang's didi come already
Mommie : Oh, how did you know?
Shawn : Ho Sang told me. He said his eyes like his
Shawn was mumbling some parts of Nobody (nobody but you) in Korean. Simply don't understand why the both of them prefer the Korean version. Hahaa

Dylan and the phone
Last night, Dylan almost dunked my phone into a glass of water. Luckily I was watching else my phone would have been drowned. Anyway, today I think my phone cranks up. It's acting weird and probably suffering from stroke or something. It was all right but just half an hour ago, I can't boot up, only to see an apple on the screen for past 15min and then it came back to life! Anyway, it's time to get a new phone!
This morning we woke up to a very excited Dylan, who managed to get hold of my phone, screaming "Ifon, ifon!" 5min later, he came to me and said, "No more! Chak chak, cher cher" and handed the phone back to me. My Dylan decoder said, "No more, charge charge, xie xie"
Things that I don't do with my phone and kid#2 did it for me
1. add almost all my contacts into favorite
2. set timer and alarm at the odd-est hour
3. personalise ringing tone to most contacts
4. make overseas calls and also to my insurance agent!

The little loud one
Last week, I taught Dylan word by word, to say I want more apple, he does it with his version of 'sign' language
I use his fingers to pinch lightly on his eyes
want slouch forward, arms together
more signs more correctly while saying it
apple arms high up in the arm
and after saying all this, he would end with "Yay" and claps his hands
I have heard "Get the ball", "Kick the ball", "Look at that", "What is this", "I want apple, I want milk"
He is now able to name these when we point to the pictures/items
FISH, BIRD, DOG, CAT, COW
CRANE, TRUCK, MOTORCYCLE (he calls bike), TRAIN, BOAT, SHIP
Sometimes he would grab my index finger to say out loud objects to him
When asked what does lion says, his answer is, "Um!" while Shawn would add on, "No, not um, it's ROARRRR"
He was looking at my handphone with pictures from weekend's lunch. He saw YT's birthday cake and said, "Papa... Papa... cake... cake... happy... yay!" It wasn't continous and smooth but I figured he was trying to string them together.
I just can't explain's Dylan love for
1. char siew pau 3 at one go? Not the giant pau but regular char siew pau
2. apple would keep 100+ pcs of blocks into the toy box for the sake of one apple
3. football my kid was screaming goal and clapping at Best Denki watching M'sia vs Sin match, while the players were just passing the ball at the pitch

Dylan talks
Yesterday just right after dinner Dylan declared "All done" hands down wham on the highchair table and was quickly trying to get out of the highchair.
He is loving soup these days too. He mumbled something like "I want soup".
He took a deep bite on Shawn's hand when the latter refused to hand him some Lego blocks. So Dylan took a bite on Shawn's right arm. In the evening the bite area was still red and felt puffy. Poor Shawn... I told Dylan's school teacher in the morning and I guess the news did go around and seems like most teachers now are keeping an eye on the little biter. He tried to nip my thigh last night and I managed to stop him before I became a victim!
In the morning when he wakes up he still chant "Ipad Ipad Ipad"... addict!
Finally COLOR!!! This morning he got hold of a blue car flashcard and said, "Blue". Yay!
Dylan point at the moon and said, "Ball ball". When the moon is blocked by some buildings as the car moved, he said, "Bye ball ball".

Okay!
Blood test came out pretty normal! Yay! Not anemic though dr said he looks a little pale. Overall okay today except that some vomit spit after a spasm of cough just now. I'm struggling to feed him with goat's milk today. Sigh.. hopefully he'll be more receptive tomorrow.

As for Dylan...
One of the crappy weekend and Monday. We started Dylan on antiB last Sunday night. Upon the 4th dose he had runs. So we had to stop. On Wednesday he didn't take any antiB. On Thrus I gave him only 1/4 of what was supposed to be for one day dose, and he continued to have runs. He was warm then then fever came back on Saturday night. Went sky high 39.6deg on Sunday morning.
We brought him to Dr Khor today. No choice but to jab since his body is rejecting antiB and continuing having fever and diarrhoea which would drains him. Poor kid cried the mall down when he had his nose cleaned by the expert and swabbed. Dr took his stool and nose muck for tests. During jab, he was protesting, shed some tears and then it was all right after we cheered and clapped when the jab was done. Brave boy! I think to him, nose swab was more tortorous than the jab. Anyway, after his nap, he was running temperature at high end of 38deg. I was out buying Karihome to sub his Gain IQ temporarily. When I got hom I gave him ibuprofen and panadol to bring that down. Ridiculously just now when I checked his temperature it was 35deg-ish. He is sweating buckets now.
I gave him Karihome goat milk just now. He took one sip and had that 'yucks' look on his face. He probably drank 100ml out of the 180ml that I made. Ouch to my pocket because Karihome is EXPENSIVE! Anyway, hope during the next feed he would drink and not kick a fuss! And I certainly hope that he won't wake up at 2.30am (which he did yesterday) and squat in the kitchen to drink water. Pls pls sleep through at least till 6!

Ouch!
Yesterday, Dylan fell down on a pile of toys and wailed his lungs out. He had a small (not deep) cut on his cheek. After wailing for less than 3min, it's back to business of messing around house. We are not sure what exactly happened because there was just Dylan and Shawn in the living room when this happened. Ah Ma was cutting apple in the kitchen while I was bathing. Anyway, this morning we only see a light cut on the cheeck.
Recently he must have learnt to keep toys in school. So, he could register that he should be keeping toys when we harp on him, well at least he does keep a few before walking off (thought there are many more left on the floor) :)
Last night as Dylan was tossing around his mattress, I took away his bolster, then he playfully said, "No, no, no". Then I piled 4 baby bolsters onto him and he chuckled and said, "No, no, no". Seems like he knows what 'no' means now.
When asked questions ending with ok, he always reply with OK. Usually he has a tendency to object when it comes to the real thing. Like e.g. I told him to change his diaper ending with ok, he replied ok. Then when I put him on the diaper mat, he'll squirm and scream! Guess ok doesn't quite mean anything as yet huh...

So the latest was...
Last night Dylan tore a flap from one of the books, looked at me and exclaimed, "Aiyo!"
YT taught Dylan the WINDOWS logo on computer and the little one says "Dou dou". I wonder he knows what a real WINDOW is.
This morning Dylan woke up and rolled onto me, hugged my thigh like a bolster, slept on my tummy, snuggled onto my head. Not a word said... Then when Shawn woke up, they both sneaked out of the room, both didn't even say a word to me (pretending to be asleep). Then I heard music from iPad apps, for at least 10min, no argument outside at the living room. Peaceful...
