22 Months Old

Dear all, I am 22 months old! This month, I started to attend school which is actually a 1.5 hr play group programme conducted on weekday mornings from 9-10.30am. Every morning, Mama will take me to school. For the past 2 days, I had been crying whenever I had to enter the classroom and Mama could hear me cry though the classroom door was closed but it only takes about 10 minutes or less before I quieten down.

I am now much heavier at about 11.5kg. Even Uncle Kenneth from church commented that I was heavy. It seems that my density is kind of high as compared to other kids who may have their weight well distributed throughout their body.

Maybe I had put on much weight recently with all the chicken wings that Mama had fed me. I eat chicken wings at least once a week and sometimes, twice a week. I love those wings in any way they are cooked. Even if it is just plainly boiled in water. I can also spit out the soft bones that is found at the tip of the chicken mid-joint though I may not always do so.

Also, I enjoy playing peekaboo with Mama and at times, initiate my own little game of peekaboo. And I am still very amused by This Little Piggy, often holding up my foot to communicate with Mama that I want to play This Little Piggy.

I am also watching less Hi-5 now but it's not because I don't love the show but because Mama is leaving the TV on with shows that she wants to watch and I would just sit down and watch whatever programme that is on the TV as well.

I am also sleeping at later hours. Mama has kind of decided to just let my body clock have its own way instead of trying to make me sleep by 9 or 10pm. This means that sleeping at 11pm is a more frequent occurence.

I can also recognise my own photograph with the sounds I utter whenever I turn on Mama's handphone and see my picture as the wallpaper. In fact, Papa tried showing me a video clip of myself and I actually repeated the sounds that I made when my video was captured.

This month, Papa is teaching me a lot of things and disciplining me more.


Once, Papa spanked me at Nai Nai's house and I cried. Nai nai felt very sorry for me and asked me to say sorry to Papa to appease him. I am also showing more attachment to Mama and I prefer to hold her hands and not Papa's when we go out.

Also, I had started to mumble when Mama spank me with ruler. With tears in my eyes, I would say "mama mama mama..." as if I was trying to explain my actions. I also had this very 委屈 look when I do this. Although Mama and Papa found this very cute and amusing, Mama would still put on a stern face and Mama would even ask me to stop arguing with her. Very hard-hearted Mama I have. ;(

Once, Mama scolded me and I had this complex look which is like I was trying to hold back my tears and trying to explain myself at the same time. Unfortunately, you don't get to see this as Papa and Mama are very serious about disciplining me and no picture-taking goes on during moments like this. This is probably the closest Mama can find. See some sadness in my eyes? You just have to imagine me with more intense emotions.. ;)

Oh, talking about saying sorry, I do not know how to say sorry. Rather, I expressed it by putting my head on Mama's left shoulder and hugging her. This is my very unique way of saying sorry and Mama has no way of telling if I am genuinely sorry but I am just using this method to stop her from further disciplinary actions. Sometimes, Mama would hold me by my shoulders to stop me from hugging her and continue explaining my mistake to me. Sometimes, Mama would just relent and hug me before continuing to explain things to me.

Of course, there were also many happy moments such as these.

Ok, that's about all for the moment. Thanks for reading so far and have a good week ahead! Bye! :)
