Colin moments - Cats

Colin: What cats do you want mummy?
Me: I have Summer and Tmeed..
Colin: They are daddy's cats, not your cats.
Me: .............

Thanks for looking after the cats daddy. We appreciate it! 😄

Colin moments - 大便

Colin decided someday that he doesn't want to get his butt washed after pooing.

Past conversations...
Me: Colin, go and wash your backside..

His responses to my command:
- Don't worry about my 大便 mummy!
- Don't talk about my 大便!
- Later...
- I'm not done yet~
- *hides from our line of sight*
- *pretended he never hear*

Our conversation today...

Colin: Mummy will you play with me?
Me: I won't play with you until you get your backside washed.
Colin: It's okay. I can play with myself.
Me: .....

After awhile.. he asked for help tk seperate 2 lego pieces.

Colin: Mummy will you help to take out?
Me: I won't help until you wash your backside..
Colin: All right... *continued to play by himself*

Then he wanted to show me the big lego house he built.

Colin: Mummy, look at the big house!
Me: I'm still waiting for you to wash your butt before I play with you..
Colin: Finally gave in and went to get his butt washed!

After he got his butt washed..

Colin: *flashed his backside at my face* I washed my backside mummy!!!
Me: Oh yeah! Now I can play with you!
Colin: *Big smile*

Ahhh... what a tough nut to crack.

Louise 妹妹

Me: Colin, 妹妹's name is Louise.
Colin: Goopy!
Me: Louise...
Colin: Toby!

Lols. This boy is too cute.

Regarding Louise..
Went for gynae appointment on 29 Apr '15 and found out that I gained 3kg in a month! I ate as usual... and some chocolates.

Dr Paul did a scan and said bb Louise's estimated weight was almost 2.5kg, 1kg gain since last visit! She was in breech position and has long legs... chances of her hitting 4kg is high. Oh man.

Things Colin says

My parents came back from breakfast with Colin and asked Colin to wake me up. He went..

Colin: Time to wake up mummy! Popo  got you something to eat!
Me: What did popo buy?
Colin: French fries (he meant McDonald's)! Don't you eat French fries?

Oh man.. his language at 34 months. I don't know what to expect when he turns 4 or 5 years old.

Some of his favorite phrases now:
- Are you kidding me?
- What????!!!
- May I go to the farm?
- You are naughty!
- Did I tell you not to ... ..
- I don't want you!

30 months and counting

This was how Colin welcomed us home today.

To daddy: Hug
To mummy: Hug and an "I love you"

Daddy was jealous so he pretended he was sad to get his "I love you".

Here's how it went..
Daddy: Colin, I'm sad.
Colin: Don't be sad ah? Don't be sad. (In a very singaporean way)
Colin: Stop it. Stop it!

We broke into laughter when we heard him saying "stop it!" cause that's the exact same tone we use whenever we wanted him to stop doing something.

Some other funny phrases he said...
I so very sad.
I so very tired.
Papa is princess.
I want to jump you.
I want to hungry.
Hey! Wake it up mama/papa (when we laze on bed)

He also surprised me some days/weeks back with...
I am angry with you mama!
I don't care!
It's okay.. (tells himself after he falls)
Mummy is princess.
Breakfast/dinner time.
'Cuse me mama/papa!
I drying my hair (while standing in front of the fan).
Hey, wait a minute!

Starts asking us questions we asked him...
Is this is dog?
Where is the puppy?
What sound does a dog (or any other animals he know) make?
Do you want to read a story?
Are you okay?
Do you want to see doctor?
What's wrong with you?
May I... ?
Will you....?

This boy is growing up so fast.

At 30 months, he can converse with us like a little adult.

● He uses -ing and past tenses correctly most of the time. 
● Expresses his emotions and wants (he asked me for a kiss on his left cheek before tucking in bed)
● Shows concern for others
● Jumps anywhere and everywhere

The list is endless! He learns much faster than I can blog.

I'm sure he'll be an interesting big brother. ♥

Toilet

Colin has a thing for toilets. It's where he goes for swims (baths), pees on the floor, washes hands and feet and plays with water when no one notices.

But something different happened today. My mum told me that Colin took a dump on the toilet bowl! He needed to go but wasn't wearing diapers. So he climbed onto the toilet bowl, turned around carefully, sat comfortably and there he went! First dump into the toilet bowl!

Bravo!!

Colin moments

Summer Cat was standing on top of the cat tower.. and Colin said to Summer: "Come down, little guy!"

Some other things Colin said to the cats:
"Tmeed!  You naughty boy! "
"Don't hide!"
"You wanna play ball?"
"You wanna eat?"
"I put you inside (the dryer)"

Fiesty one

Daddy wrapped himself in a blanket (which Colin claimed was his) when he went out to greet the cats in the morning.

Colin returned to our room and saw daddy using his blanket. He immediately shouted, "My blanket! My blanket!  My blanket! Hey!!! 'cuse me!" and proceeded to snatch the blanket away from daddy.

Poor daddy. Hahhaa.

Colin cares

I've been feeling tired and sleeping much earlier these days.

Colin found me on the bed today and asked me to go outside (living room). I told him I was tired.  He kept asking me, "What's wrong with you?"

Our son is starting to care for us.. awwww. So sweet.

Little requests

Colin started stating his requests at a very early age. Usually to ask permission to have adult food and sweet treats, watch Barney, head to kiddy rides or playgrounds... basically neverending requests. We usually fulfil his request (sometimes delaying the approval) since it's nothing outrageous. 

Today, he made a request to drink milk on the sofa when I informed him we should head to the room for milk and afternoon nap. He arranged the cushions and laid down, all ready to drink his milk after saying: "我要睡这边." I agreed let him have his milk. My reward? A happy boy who drifted to dreamland towards the end of his feed. His first time dozing off on our sofa.

Colin moments

Scenario this morning

Mum: Frying eggs
Dad: Spreading butter on the bread
Colin: Squatting on the floor trying to shit (a little constipated)

Colin suddenly went, "哎呀!为什么痛痛?!".
Both of us burst into laughter!! Haha. He is so expressive!

So we explained to him constipation leads to painful shitting time and asked him to 加油, complete with the action! And he repeated after us, "加油!加油!!", and continued to shit.

This boy is sooooo funny.

New pattern

This little imp has been absorbing everything good and bad like a sponge. He ran out of the lift today and started playing catching with us, tripped and fell while running away from me... then refused to get up. I found it funny cause he looked so comfortable on the floor. I secretly think he wants to warm up the cold floor for Snowy, the void deck kitty.

I whipped out my phone to take a picture (with the dad rolling his eyes at me), Colin turned and looked into my lens when he heard the camera snapping sound. Hilarious.

The dad wasn't happy though. He walked over to Colin, gave him 3 counts to get up but Colin ignored completely. So.... Colin got carried off the ground after a smack on the backside. :D

Colin moments

Colin found my mobile phone on the bed. He held it tightly, flipped to the side with the camera lens and said "smile"! Lols

Took my ezlink card, placed it on the card reader and said "Beep beep!". 

Grabbed daddy's leg, grabbed mummy's legs, said "hug hug!" and pulled our legs together, of course, he joined in the hug too. 

Mimicked the way we asks our kitties to come over. He does it everywhere else thinking it would work - void decks, pet shops, really anywhere.

Conversations with Colin

We have this huge learning playmat with animals so we often ask Colin to point out the animals to us.

Me: Where is the fish?
Colin: 鱼!鱼!鱼!鱼!

Me: Where is the elephant?
Summer cat: Meow!
Colin: 猫猫! *ran out of playroom to find Summer*
Me: .............

Me: Where is the frog?
Colin: Looks for the frog and goes, "rog rog rog"

Colin moments

Colin has been pointing to a his groin area to inform us that he is peeing, pooing or farting.

Today, as usual, he pointed to his groin. So I asked, "Peeing?", he shook his head. Then I asked again, "Pooing?", and he pooped immediately.

Ahhh, I'm thinking if I should potty train him.
