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.
