Best picture we got so far of the 2 kids together...

No But, No Why

Chatty Lucas has been talking a lot. One day, he and his usual 'But, Mommy, ......' (his way of expressing excuses) suddenly came to a halt and he said 'No But', 'No Why'. I asked if his teacher said that to him and he nod his head. Ha..ha..he must has been finding excuses and his teacher must have shut him up by saying 'No But, No Why'.

Chloe is getting bigger. She likes to try to sit up, smiling and laughing alot when she has enough sleep and food. Her hair - still not dropping much nor growing much. I will be starting her on solid food when she is 6 months old. Gosh, I have forgotten those puree vegetables and fruits. Need to refresh my memory.

As for me, I still have to 2 kgs to shield - if I ever can shield these 2 kgs. Am in a mood for shopping. Already thinking how to decorate the house for Christmas and what to cook for Christmas. Dominic and myself are taking a break from the kids next week. We are going to Sydney for a few days (complimentary from MAS Enrich points and hotel points). Will pack the kids to my parents for bonding period while I take my break :)

Yet Again?!

Lucas landed himself in trouble again, in school!!
It is a ritual now that I got discussion with his teacher every other day!
While waiting for him to finish school, I saw that the teacher is having another long chat with him. Then I told myself, what now?
So, the latest drama is this little boy asked his teacher to hold his penis when he wants to pee!! He did not want to hold his own penis and aim properly, instead asked the teacher to do for him!! Well, well...there goes the nice lecture from his teacher. Teacher told him penis is his private part and he cannot ask or let anyone to touch his private part except for Mommy and Ms A (his teacher) to clean him. She made him promised not to do so again.

Should I be embarrassed?

Naggy Me

Now I understand why all mothers are naggy!.
I nagged at Lucas all day long!!
In one day, I nagged him :
- twice to take his bath
- twice to brush his teeth
- twice to eat his food (lunch and dinner)
- twice to sleep (afternoon nap and at night)

Sigh....I really hate myself for being soooo naggy.

Lazy, Firm or Rebellious? Part 2

Oh well......it looks like he solved his own problem.
I asked him again today when I was reading him his bedtime story.

Me: Lucas, did you finish the work you did not finish yesterday?
Lucas: Yes.
Me: What colour did you use?
Lucas: I painted the basket under the balloon with brown only (so, it is not a heart shape picture)
Me: Did you ask Ms A (his teacher) first?
Lucas: No.
Me: Did Ms A say anything?
Lucas: Nothing.

So, he gets it done according to his own way......

And by the way, I said a new sentence to him today. He was asking me to see what's wrong with the TV (the Astro decoder was off) while I was nagging him to take his bath. So, I was annoyed because he refused to take his bath and decided not to on his cartoon until after his bath. So, I told him to 'go and solve your own problem'. Let's see when he will use that sentence on me!

Lazy, Firm or Rebellious?

When I went to pick up Lucas from school today, the teacher told me Lucas did not want to do his school work. I sensed something was amissed earlier. After their Good-Bye song, the teacher had a rather long chat with him. I was wondering if he made a fuss earlier and the teacher had to pacify him. When the teacher told me what happened, I was rather surprised. So, I told myself I need to get to the bottom of this matter. Asking him in school will be a waste of time. He will not want to talk about it. So, after we came home and had his lunch and bath, I subtly asked why he did not want to do his work in school. He said 'I do not want to be busy'. Ok...I let it go and will ask more later - one question at a time. If he doesn't want to talk about it, he will not say a word. If he wants to talk about it, he will spill all the beans - whether you asked for it or not.
At night, after I read him his bedtime story, he was very chatty. I took the opportunity to ask again. This time, he said 'I do not want to use 4 colours to paint the heart shape. It is too much'. Ok...so it sounded like he does not agreed to use 4 colours to paint the heart shape picture. Therefore his action of not wanting to do his work.

It is not the end yet. Tomorrow I will ask him what's wrong with using 4 colours? Can't he use whatever colours he wants? Will also tell him to tell his teacher if he doesn't agree. After that??? Tell him to stand firm by his opinion or just follow teacher's instruction?
