Little Linus was watching youtube

Aside from babbling, chortling, running around the dining table, kicking balls and flipping story books, another Linus's favorite is - watching youtube.


He climbed on my lap when I was web-surfing, he asked me to watch videos, we browsed from "Thomas friends and engines", to "Charlie and Lola" to basket ball and end up to billiards.


So cute!

Lucas and Linus loved mommy-made chocolate sponge cake!

Yesterday Lucas told me he wanted to eat mommy-made cake.  I gave him several options: cookies, green tea sponge cake, chocolate sponge cake and fluffy paper-wrapped cake, then he chose chocolate sponge cake.


When the baby woke up from a nap, they could not wait to pop a piece of cake into their mouths.  Finally, they ate more half of the cake (I used a 8 inches cake mould).


I 'melted' when I saw my adorable babies enjoyed eating what I had made.

Linus is two years old

My adorable sweetie Linus turned into 2 years old. This half-angel and half-monster creature brightens my life and brings me loads of happiness.

Thank you baby.

Ok, it's Linus's turn.

Linus drew this picture almost without my assistance. He is so cute.

Baby Linus

Baby Linus is turning to 2 years old.

I think he is a type of kid with very baby-looking. When Lucas was 2, he looked like a boy rather than a baby. However, if Linus is sitting or lying down, you doesn't notice his height, you will think he is still a small baby.

See? He was whining at the roof top of Terminal 2 of the Hong Kong International Airport.

Linus is very adorable and sweet, he is a born-to-be comedian, with a strong sense of humor, a person who always make others laugh.

He still calls me "Ng- Mi", not mommy.

He is a courteous boy, when you give him something, he will say "Ah-du" (That means 'thank you'), with both hands cover his own cheeks.

Me and Lucas Drawing - by Corel Painter

Wow... look at this. In the first few weeks of my full time mommy life, I experience totally that my personal time has always been intruded by the two young men.

This is a vivid example, when I was reading online news, Lucas said he wanted to do drawing by the computer. I tried to refuse but he had already climbed up on my laps and controlled the drawing pen. I had to face the fact that I was no longer the key decision maker of the usage of all gadgets at home. We then drew this picture by Corel Painter.

Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, I should rather thank god he has yet reached the teenage, otherwise:

1. Due to the hormonal fluctuation inside his body during the puberty, He won't bother to talk to me much, no to mention to climb up on my laps and asking me to draw pictures with him.

2. He would have his own gadget and no need to share this stone-age computer (from the perspective of technological development in the next ten years, don't be humiliating, Mr. Yuen Senior) with me.

3. He would rather have such intimated drawing activity with his girlfriend(s) instead of his mother.

Anyway, it is lovely, isn't it?

當個全職媽媽

我的寶貝朗朗立立:

你們知道嗎?媽媽作了一個很勇敢的決定,我當上全職媽媽°

為什麼?真的沒有什麼,只是想見到你們多一些,想跟你們一起玩,一起笑°

想多點時間跟Daddy拍拖°

想做多些好吃的蛋糕及曲奇餅給你們°

希望十年後,我回頭看時,不會覺得錯過些甚麼°

哈哈,這篇網誌是趁著你們午睡時寫的!

當媽媽的感覺

當媽媽的感覺,就是孩子在他們的房裡睡著時,在客廳的我也會想念著他們°這是一種很牽腸掛肚的滋味......


我這個傻媽媽,竟然因為太念他們,在這個寒夜對著電腦偷偷哭了一點......

Lucas's 3rd birthday

Lucas turns into 3 years old.

Last Thursday was May 21. I took a day off and sent a birthday cake to his school with Jeff.

It was his first time to celebrate birthday with "friends", although technically he did not think the kids were his friends.

However, he seemed very happy when he came back home.

After the delivery, Jeff and I went to Element for lunch, he also bought me a gift. He said three years ago it was the most difficult day in my life, and I was really brave.

We held a mini birthday party for Lucas this Saturday. I had baked a cake. It was the first time I baked a birthday cake.

I want to bake birthday cakes for Jeff, Lucas and Linus every year!!! =)

Lucas, I love you. Wish you have a wonderful three years old.

Lucas's first school day - follow up

We talked with a teacher through phone this afternoon.

She said Lucas was actually doing fine.  He had a tearful moment but not the whole day, he was observing and loved story telling time.

She suggested us not to keep asking him about his school day.  Keep drilling him or force him for discussion would only make him stress out.

The evening when we arrived home, he avoided my eye contact but I knew he wanted to smile.  After a while, we cuddled and sang song and he praised my new dress.

Lucas's mind is quite complex but after all he is still a baby boy.

Lucas's first school day

Lucas has had his first school day finally.

He had cried since he stepped into the school bus.

When he returned home, he didn't talk to anyone.

He hadn't drunk water in school, the same amount of water left as he left home.

It is heartbroken but at least he made the first step.

This is a big fear to leave parents and familiar faces and go to an unknown land with strangers.

Hope he would get used of and enjoyed the school life soon.

Lucas, you are a brave kid!

小朋友唔讚得?!

小朋友真係唔讚得,睇吓下邊兩篇post就知點解.

Linus is sick

Linus is having sore throat and running nose. I transmitted the virus to him...

Sigh....

Hope he will get well soon.

Strong boys

Lucas weights 31.5 pounds, Linus is 22 pounds.

Lucas is slender but he is tall. Linus, simply look at his belly and you can tell how chubby he is.

Hurray!!!!

Globe

Lucas loves learning.

Since he was very small we taught him about our Earth. We said to him we are living in a big planet called the Earth. There was a map hanged at his room (but we threw it when moving to the new home, because the wet weather made it wrinkled and old).

Several days ago, we brought the babies to a bookstore. Lucas picked a small plastic globe and asked us to buy for him. He liked the globe a lot and even slept next to it at night.

Lucas loves to spin the Earth and asks us the name of the oceans and the continents. Last time I mentioned to him I had sponsored a baby in Africa, he called the boy “Africa Baby”, and asked me where the kid is on the globe.

Then I pointed him other places on the Earth – Hong Kong, Macau, China, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, Middle East, America, Europe, North Pole and South Pole. He also wanted to know where the Philippines is, a country where our domestic helper from.

I am so happy he is interested in the planet we are living. I talked to him that the Earth is very big, there are many places worth to go. When he grows big one day, he can travel to other countries, to experience different kind of life and culture.

When Linus gets bigger, I will also teach him to read map. =)

Linus's new word

The first two-syllables we hear from Linus is....

BISCUIT

Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve

We went to Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve yesterday for hiking. Four of us (Jeff, Lucas, Linus and me) walked for around two hours.

There was something funny (yet a bit dangerous) happened. When I was swinging hands with Lucas and walked up the path, something from the top fell down, the first thing was a piece of bark. Then when we walked closely, more pieces of barks came off, then followed by two big pieces of logs. When I looked up, it was a MONKEY!!! I told Lucas there was a naughty monkey above us and wanted to bully mamei. We ran away from that monkey but Lucas seemed to miss it a lot, he kept singing, “Monkey is naughty, he wanna play with mamei and Long Long”.

We walked further into the area and reached a “park”, there was a wooden slide, the babies ran up and down it without a stop. The passer-by joked that they were very happy but I should be very exhausted. (I brought Linus up and down the slide; it was just like having weight-lifting exercise, with a 30 pounds dumbbell)…
What a happy morning, all of us love hiking.
