Craugh
There are times when a cry IS a cry.
There are times when a laugh IS a laugh.
And then there are those times when the moment calls for both a cry AND a laugh.
For these times where there is no word to describe, I shall call it a “craugh”.
These are the times that I am neither crying nor laughing.
When adults do not know what to do with me…
When I feel like testing the situation to see how people react…
When I feel like I need some loving or manja-ing…
When I feel like I need another push for that Oscar nomination…
I will craugh…
Fearful Feeder
Being somewhat rebellious by nature, I can be quite difficult to handle sometimes…okok, most of the times!
But more so when I am being fed something new. Like Mama said – the first bite is always the toughest. I will put on my best drama possible after that first bite is put, or rather forced into my mouth. After some dramatic expression and faked tears, I will run away and continue like nothing happened. If the food is good, I will come back for seconds.
Kitchen Rat
The house kitchen has become one of my favourite play areas. I mean, who can resist sliding cabinets with goodies inside like cereal tins and chicken essence boxes, drawers that slide and close, and the smell of food? Mmmmm.
I also like crawling around this play area like a kitchen rat, squeezing in and around Mama’s legs, silently opening cabinets, and stealthily taking things from the counter. Hee!
Footballing Frenzy
Papa must be really proud of me now that I have finally started to kick the toy football be bought me many many moons ago. Still don’t quite get the concepts yet, so most of the time when the kicking frustrates me, I would prefer to just pick it up with my hands, throw it and run around.
Men in Tights
I have this theory that parents sometimes like to take pictures of their children in strange poses or costumes so that they could blackmail them when their kids get older, when necessary.
A Date with the Moon
Last weekend, I went dating…with the moon! Our church small group gathered at Uncle Gary’s house before going around with our real fire-lighted up lanterns! Finally get to play with fire! Hee!
I also brought along a safe one (operated by battery with flashing LWD lights) that was given by Kim Nin when I was back in Sitiawan earlier. Apparently this is part of the chinese culture mid-autumn festival where people play with lanterns and stuff themselves with mooncakes. I would think it’s also a wonderful time to celebrate moon-collecting business. I am at 19.5 at present. Anyway…
Here are some pics of my first lantern walkabout. Sure was fun!!
King-sized Cot!
My sleeping adventures just got more exciting. Some nights, Papa and Mama would allow me to sleep on their bed with them. It happens more often when I make more noise when put in my cot. *wink!*
Human Rock Climber
Just added this addictive activity into my extreme sport hobby portfolio. In adult terms, it is called rock climbing, but since I’m obviously too small to be doing actual rock climbing, I compensate by climbing all over human rocks, namely Mama and Papa.
