Last Saturday was mid-autumn festival, also known as Lantern Festival. This is not the first Lantern Festival since I was born but I was too young last year and Mama was not too interested to do anything with me. But this year, things are different.
A couple of days before the festival, Mama bought 2 small paper lanterns and that added to the one Da Yi Po gave to me some time ago. The paper lanterns need to be lighted up by placing a small candle in each of them.
After dinner on last Saturday, Mama took out the lanterns and had the lights in the living room switched off. She placed a candle in one of the paper lanterns but before she could pull up the lantern completely, I had already reached for the flame with my pincer grip using my thumb and my index finger. This coupled with the fact that the paper lantern was being pulled up extinguished the flame. I was of course, in pain and Mama found a little bit of wax hardened on my thumb moments later. But I soon thought nothing of this little burn and was back to my happy self again.
Papa then joined us in having fun and lighted the second paper lantern. We walked around in our house for a short while with the paper lanterns as the weather outside was not exactly suitable for us to be out of the house.
Around the same time, Mama noted that my diaper had kind of loosened but she thought that need not be changed as she is going to bathe me later. Well, I actually urinated and wet the floor! In the end, the whole lantern fun has to be cut short as Papa took me to the bathroom for a shower while Mama mopped the floor. What a way to spend lantern festival! :p
