I am 42 Months Old!

Hi Everyone,

I am 42 months old! The picture above was taken on my 42nd month birthday when we were out for dinner. This month, I am getting more interested in phones and had often asked to call Mama on her handphone even though Mama is at home with me.

I am also getting good at bargaining. For example, Mama will let me have 10 minutes playing games on the iPad and I will ask for 8 minutes. What I did not know is that 8 minutes is less than 10 minutes and since I had asked for less time on iPad, Mama is more than willing to give it to me. ;p

I am also listing songs for Mama to sing during bedtime. I will ask for Barney's I love You song, There are 7 Days in a Week (sung to the tune of Clementine), and then Great is Thy Faithfulness. This went on for many nights before Mama realised that if I am really sleepy, I only ask for Great is Thy Faithfulness.

This month, I was also more instructional. At times, I will held up my index finger and ask Mama what is this. Mama knows I want to hear the answer "One" but sometimes, she will tell me it's my pointer and I will either ask her again or correct her about what I intended it to be.

Also, I am showing some fear of being abandoned. It used to be that in the past, if my parents could not get me to leave the playground, leaving me alone in the playground and pretending to go home on their own does not help. But it works quite nicely now to get me to follow them.

This month, Papa brought me to Army Museum when Mama had to work and I love this place. This was the kind of bunk Papa used to sleep in when he was serving his national service.

Papa likes it that there is some open space for me to run around as well as a small obstacle course for children. It's a mini version of what I will probably be going through when I do my national service many years later. In the meantime, see me and Papa go at it! :D
