Lucas just had a nice long weekend with me and Jeff.
On Friday, I had an annual leave, we went to Daddy's working place and making Daddy to finish his work earlier. We then went to Chinese University and Tai Po park in the afternoon.
On Saturday, we went to the flower exhibition in Causeway Bay.
On Sunday, we visited PoPo, KungKung and auntie. We shared a great time together.
Lucas started to say 'Mama', especially when he is tired and wants to be attended.
He loves eating bread, apple, rice, and the food you drop on the table...
I am reading a very inspiring book about parenting - Children learn what they live. This book is an elaboration of the world class poem with the same name by the same author, Dorothy Law Nolte, and Rachel Harris. It tells me it is what you do, not how you tell, influencing the growth of your kids. In two words, it is all about love and patience.
This is the famous poem since 1970's and enlightens countless of parents.
Children Learn What They Live By Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D. 1972 If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn. If children live with hostility, they learn to fight. If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive. If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves. If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy. If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy. If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty. If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence. If children live with tolerance, they learn patience. If children live with praise, they learn appreciation. If children live with acceptance, they learn to love. If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves. If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal. If children live with sharing, they learn generosity. If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness. If children live with fairness, they learn justice. If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect. If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them. If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.
Everyone is imperfect, even our parents and grandparents are growing and learning how to face the world. Hope we all can walk path with our kids hands in hands!!
Last weekend when I wore my shower cap, he laughed sweetly as usual. Then when he touched it, his smiling suddenly faded away and turned into a frightening cry. I guess he had not expected the soft texture of the shower cap.
Baby is also afraid those furry thing such as the fur trimmed loop which attached to my jacket, I cannot pull the hat up otherwise he will think I am a monster from the Monster Inc.
Working life is harsh and exhausted but I am willing to spend every minute with my kid at home, even though that means I have much less time to take rest. Three of us always have great time together. This morning, baby was groaning when I went out for work. I just wonder how can I leave him for even a second when he can ask me to stay with him literally.
