Siyuan's photography

Siyuan taking a picture with my mobile phone :)
Also a clear blue sky in HK. A rare occurence. It was actually also cool enough to bring him out to the park to play in the morning. That hasn't been true since March.

Learning

Some old incidents that pop up to mind and brings a laugh to us when we recall it.
Where's my drinks?
We were at our usual Thai restaurant and the waitress had brought lime juice drinks for us. Siyuan turned to her and gestured with his hands, as if to say where's mine?

My yogurt?
There was a time when Siyuan loved his yogurt (his taste changes all the time), and my mother-in-law was in time during that period. My mother-in-law had faked interest in the yogurt. Siyuan first started by grabbing hold of Lux's arm to keep the yogurt in sight, and then using both hands to ensure it doesn't leave. At one point, he even waved no to my mother-in-law when she leaned forward to be closer to said yogurt.

Missing School

Siyuan is just about adapting to school in stages. by the second day, he was playing lego, on the third, he started interacting with one kid and crying bout is down to 20 minutes. By the fourth day, he played with other kids, and by friday, his crying is reduced to 5-10 minutes. However, he still insists on hanging on to his school bag through the whole session. We think it's becos he has associated wearing the bag with mommy coming to pick him up. Oh well.
He fell sick during the weekend, so no school for him. We're also trying to stop him from going out to infect other kids. Sunday became a very long day as we tried to entertain a sick, grouchy kid who can't be allowed to go out.
And the best thing about having kids? when they fall sick, u fall sick as well. I already feel a cold and sore throat coming on after Siyuan fed me, and ate from my bowl.
Such is life. haha

1st Day Away

Siyuan goes to play school today. The first time he has ever left the side of either one of us. The teachers said he cried the whole 90 minutes he was in the classroom, trying desperately to get out. He joins 11 other tear-stained kids. Shopping later, Lux said she saw other kids with red-rimmed eyes trailing their parents/maid. Lux bought a train for Siyuan after it, and he clutched it along while hugging Lux all the way home.
