Dance & Dip!

I've only been showing you pictures lately so I thought you'd be delighted to watch a video today. Mommy & Daddy danced the Tango on their wedding night--maybe that is why I have an affinity to tango music. I love it when they "dip" me so I learnt the word today and ordered them to "dip" me some more. How exhilarating!

Shoes Fetish

Gold is THE colour in 2008, so my Auntie Eva just bought me the latest GOLD New Balance sneakers. I am definitely the Coolest Kid on The Block now!

I knew the day would come when I would become obsessed with trying on mommy's shoes--it's something that all toddlers go through, right? And why is that?? Is it just another way to pretend that they are older than what they really are?? Anyway, this pair tops my favorite--a pair of gold open toe flats because I can show off my beautiful toes. I especially like the pretty bows in the front. I also like that my gold sneakers can match my mommy's gold shoes.

My New Kitchen

It's only September but I thought it was Christmas when Daddy & Mommy surprised me on Saturday morning with a brand new play kitchen! It comes with "stainless steel" fridge, microwave, oven, and even a cordless phone. The elements on the stove makes boiling and frying sounds, just like the real ones! I played with it in most of my waking hours this weekend. See the picture I posted--with my big bulging stomach, I am already starting to look like a real chef!

For the first time, Mommy even let me watch DVD--she bought a Thomas the Train DVD because lately, I seem to have some kind of magnetism to this blue train character whenever I see him in outside shops, bookstores or on boys' apparel. I was mesmerised for the 10 minutes that I watched it--the only time in my life I have voluntarily sat completely still. How scary, my eyes were glued to the TV screen. This is why all parents should limit TV watching of any kind to a minimum!

Wong Nai Chung Reservoir

I went to feed the fish and turtles at the Wong Nai Chung Reservoir yesterday afternoon. We went on a pedalboat so we got very close to them. Because the turtles and fish are so used to being fed fresh bread, they were quite aggressive in getting the food. They sure are big for being on a pure carbohydrate diet. Afterwards, my friends Tristan and Ethan came over to play with me until 9pm!

A day out on the yacht

Right after school today, I hopped onto the yacht and spent all day out by the sea. We ended up at Long Ke beach. Lacking a speedboat, Daddy rowed Mommy and I to the beach with a dingy. Much of the time on the beach I spent welcoming all the big incoming water waves with courage. I also shoveled sand, collected seashells, built sand castles, ate sand and drank enough sea water to cut out salt in my diet for the next 2 weeks. To get back to the boat, we got on the dingy again, but the waves got stronger, so much so that our dingy flipped over . Daddy & Mommy were so proud of me today because I wasn't scared at all and really thought it was so much fun. True candidate for extreme sports!

Car washing

It will be my 2nd Mid Autumn Festival celebration this coming Sunday. Last year, I was still too young to eat mooncake but with 16 tooth, I think I can gobble down the entire mooncake this year so I'm excited about that! I think Mommy will let me choose the lantern this year too. So far, she just brings me down to our lobby to look at the two rabbit lanterns. I'm on really good terms with the security guards so they let me wheel them all around the lobby everyday.

It was a very nice day today that instead of going to the park or the beach, I decided to help out with washing the car. I suspect that I will be replacing our domestic helper soon, after I'm trained to do the laundry and ironing.

September: start of school

I have started Montessori school again after taking a bit of a summer break. Today, I started Soccatots. It was great fun. We chase a ball, kick it, and learn to balance bean bags on our heads. Through all that activity, I think I expended 10% of my energy! I've still got 90% left and that is driving Mommy crazy.

Daddy, in the 1st photo, is playing tricks with my eyes by moving natto (Japanese fermented bean, one of my favorite foods) closer and closer to my eyes until they get crossed. Mommy is so scared that they'll get stuck while being crossed!

Mommy has rotated my toys around and I began playing with Noah's Ark. In the 2nd photo, I am looking at Noah in awe. Did I tell you that I say grace regularly before my meals every day? I've been trained since I was 6 months old!

And lastly, just wanted to show you all 16 of my pearly whites! I look so grown up with so much teeth! Anyone looking for a baby toothpaste commercial model, give me a ring!
