Siyuan and Sihuai

With Siyuan around, it's a lot harder for Sihuai to get good naps during the day because he is noisy and our apartment is small (cue usual comments about shoeboxes in HK). On the other hand, she doesn't have to worry about getting bored, becos her brother is always up to something. She can watch him drawing, playing with his cars or gesturing as he talks.Sometimes he would kiss her, pinch her toes or dangle a toy to entertain her.

She seems to sleep better than Siyuan, who had frequent nite wakings. On the other hand, Siyuan doesn't need to be cuddled as much during the day. How much of it is nature vs environment we don't know. It could be the noise and lights in HK made Sihuai want to be reassured more during the day. It could be that becos we're more experienced, we could take better care of her, and therefore she sleeps better at nite.
What we do know is this: Siyuan thinks his sister is cute, and would say so. :P

Pecking Order

There's a distinct pecking order in Siyuan's universe. If there are two forks in the fruit bowl, one belongs to him and the other to his mom. I only get a dip if there's a third fork.
Some days, he would get intensely protective of his sister. That applies even to me - he could try to shoo me away if he feels that it's not time for father to play with mei mei.
Failing that, he would enlist Lux's help. Funny aren't it?

But, he has a conscience. Once, he finished all the fruits in the bowl,and was bringing it back to the kitchen when he ran into me.
``Where's the fruit for papa?'' I asked.
He stared blankly at me, and then as he realized he had forgotten about me, his face went red. Stunned, he stood there, not knowing what to do. Lux had to cuddle him while i laughed my head off.

Who's the Boss?

If I like it, it's mine.
If it's in my hands, it's mine.
If it looks like mine, it's mine.
If i think it's mine, it's mine.
And everything else is also mine.
