帶著三個小孩的一天

其實我倆已有帶著三個小孩上街的經驗，但今天仍有點吃力。幸好有我家及菲傭姐姐幫忙，而且跟這麼多小朋友一起是很愉快的事。

今天，我們一行九人到Pizza Hut吃飯，包括我爸媽妹，謝菲，麗斯，以及三位可愛小孩─朗朗，樂樂及晴晴。旁邊的人也向我們投以奇怪或好奇的目光，有幾位師奶的眼神更像說：嘩生那麼多幹嗎？不用說，全世界也以為這三個人仔是由我及謝菲所出。

吃飯時他們尚算安靜。朗朗很簡單，只要有得吃，又可以拿著匙餵自己，已經很滿足。

飯後到了我爸媽家。很女孩子的晴晴對我妹的護膚品及手飾很有興趣，幾瓶潤膚露也可令她樂上半天。朗朗則到處跑。樂樂就畫畫，他畫了一幅商場畫，內有糖果店、日本城、黃埔商場、德福商場、沙田新城市廣場、蠟燭店、保鈴球場等。

之後我們到咖啡店High tea，朗朗不想呆坐，在咖啡店內外到處碰。幸好妹妹幫手追著小馬騮，不然我這副雖然不太老的骨頭也會散。

五時多我們便回家，朗朗在車上睡著，現在已七時，他仍在睡。

Lucas babbles

Lucas picks up lots of single words and sounds in these few weeks, such as:

• A (this is the first word he speaks when he sees any text, including Chinese)
• C or Si
• Shoe
• zi (purple in Mandarin, learnt from a picture card)
• S (well... or ass... surely this is not a good moment to teach him hole)
• Boo Boo (we don't know what it means, but sometimes he says this when pointing to a ball)

Dragon Boat Festival

Lucas and we went to Shatin Shing Mun River bank to see dragon boat competition yesterday. However, he was not very interested because the weather was quite hot and not comfortable.

See the little cute hat Lucas was wearing? Actually he is very repulsive to wear anythings on his head, including this one. When we put it on, he took it off, we had done this put-on-take-off 'game' for 10 times, he only gave up when I held his hand and explained to him why he should wear a hat...And then after 15 minutes, he pulled it up and threw on the ground finally.

Swimming Baby

I am talking about Lucas.

He is a fearless baby, having natural high when surrounding by water.

Interview with God

I don't like those 'Chicken soup of heart' things, but this one is exception. Quite inspiring. Wanna share with you...and also with Lucas.

香港始終有你

Walk your own road baby!

A big fat sashimi feast

Don't worry, Lucas could only look, not taste the raw fish.

But he DID try to eat wasabi, he used his hand to smash the wasabi paste and intended to put it into his mouth. We stopped him in the right time.

Otherwise the stimulation of wasabi will cause two possible outcomes: 1. He is scared of all spicy food or green paste or Japanese restaurant, or 2. He falls in love in it and wants us to put it in all of his food, including milk... Wasabi milk, can you imagine?

Detachable

I feel heart broken last few days because Lucas did not attach to me... much.

He always wants to stick with Lisa, or even my mom-in-law, just not to me.

I am silly but I did cry a lot because of that.

However, when I left home for work this morning, he was looking at me by a pair of tearful eyes, stretching his little hand out to try to touch me.

But what can I do? I should get back to work...

I am feeling very hurt, but the rational me always reminds me not to be that obsessive, it will make Lucas uneasy.

Arrrrrrr, what can I do????? He is just one year old, but it seems my emotion is so moved by him...

A childish mom - it's me

Seems I was happier than Lucas.

A good reader and listener

Lucas can almost totally understand our daily conversation and have interaction with us. He can react to both Cantonese and English.

As a book lover, I also encourage my kid to read. We buy him several 'touchy-feely' books - those books with pictures in different textures and eye-catching colour which arouse children's interest to read. He loves them a lot and always says 'A' loudly when he opens the first page, no matter what is showing there.

What a cute little angel.

Fashion show S/S

Hot baby Lucas was performing a captivating fashion show on last Saturday, Grand dad's home. He received non-stopping applause from audiences.
