Our Little Darling Our Sweetheart!

I was sitting on the rocking chair with Little Darling sitting on my laps, listening to his favorite songs while at the same time he was chi chi cha cha ‘talking’ something that I did not understand. On and off he would look at me puzzled because I did not pat him as I usually will when I hug him sitting on the rocking chair. I said to him ‘Darling, mummy very tired!’ You go play by your own. Let mummy rest a while ok?’ Immediately he lied onto my arms and patted me as if he was trying to comfort me! He was such an understanding sweetheart! He is just a little baby but he can be so heartwarming! He melted my heart and swept away all my fatigue!

Suddenly I heard something sweeter! He called ‘ma ma’… Wow! Finally he called me ma ma….. so happy! I hugged him in my arms and he offered me a wet kiss! Hehe….. Besides calling mama, Little Darling also knows to call mah mah (grandma), jeh jeh (elder sister), sssh---tarr (star), dirt—teee (dirty) and Bardbard (birdbird). :-)

Little Darling's 1st Lunar Birthday

We did not intend to have a celebration on Little Darling’s 1st Lunar Birthday except praying to ancestors and perhaps a simple dinner among family members. But last minute daddy netted a caterer for a buffet. So daddy and mummy arranged a small scale chit-chatting cum eating session this afternoon for family members. And some of mummy’s closed friends were coming too.

We bathed and donned Little Darling with new clothes, put on shoes and cap and went to grandparents’ house to pray to ancestors. Mummy also did not know which dialect’s custom it was but just follow what Ah Mah told us to, we put eight items on the table to let Little Darling pick. It is believed that this foretell what his calling would be! Half out of fun we did it! Mummy had thought that Little Darling would definitely pick food since he likes to eat so much! Hahahahaha…. Surprisingly that he picked abacas!!! What this would mean? Mummy did not know! Would check with Ah Mah tonight! :-)

We came back home for the lunch reception. Little Darling was excited seeing so many people at home; he played wild with his friends the whole afternoon! Mummy had to make an exception for him for not taking nap in the afternoon.

In the late afternoon, on the way sending grandpa and grandma home, Little Darling kept yawning and suddenly he nodded his head like fishing and fell asleep there and then in the car…. Hahahahaha….He must be super tired!
