A New Year

Happy New Year everyone.
I was off from Christmas to New Year and Dominic is in town during that period. We have quite a family time. Lucas was definitely enjoying the 24 hours attention from both of us. Lucas actually stayed up until midnight to watch the fireworks. We were at Dominic's parents for the celebration. When the fireworks started, Lucas said 'colourful', much to the amazement of the adults in the party. Now, he is asking for fireworks everyday! It is hard to explain that new year countdown only comes once a year. Anyway, his speech is getting better. He can communicate quite well, and sometimes talks like an adult. He understand and know when to use 'after', 'before', 'already', not yet', 'later'. Some of the sentences he made are quite shocking, for me at least.
When it is getting cloudy, he will say 'The sun is underneath the cloud'.
When he wants me to stop nagging, he will say 'Mummy, don't talk'.
When we asked him to go to bed, he will say '10 minutes'.
When he wants to stay longer at his grandparents' place, he will say 'Daddy and Mummy pick up Lucas later'.
When he asks to go swimming at 8.30am, I tell him to wait for the sun to come out. He will reply 'The sun came out already'.

House renovation is almost completed. Hope to move in for Chinese New Year but before we can do so, we have to arrange for a baby sitter until we get a maid....no laughing matter - all these logistics arrangement.
