I love to snuggle with mama! Sometimes I will babble away as I cuddle… call me a sensitive new-age guy!
Sometimes I wake up early in the morning and mama will bring me over to the big bed so she can catch 40 more winks. So I try to wake her up by talking to her. [...]
As if it isn’t difficult enough for me to learn English, my folks occasionally use other languages on me too!
Just as I was getting comfortable learning words or phrases in English, I have to learn Mandarin too! And it is so confusing! For example, a “bowl” is “wan” but I know “one” is a number.
Some [...]
I did not get to build a snowman today. Boo!
According to mama, the snow was the fluffy sort and not wet enough to stick. When I volunteered to wet the snow, mama said snowmen were white, not yellow! That’s racist!
Nonetheless, I asked papa to help me build one by saying “Snow man, snow man!” for [...]
We had a strange week of winter weather. It was warm! Sometimes I didn’t need my heavy jacket or my boots!
But Old Man winter blew his icy breath over us today and shed a lot of dandruff! It’s snowing again! The wind is so strong that it is snowing sideways!
Ooh, if the snow is wet, [...]
I love to go a-wandering…
If I am not running in circles at home, I am exploring the great and not-so-great outdoors. Given the choice, I’d rather be outside.
When we go out, I prefer to be carried first. This allows me to see things at adult eye level. It also makes my “walk” more effortless, [...]
What do Shylock, a penguin bank, quarters, and board books have in common? Apparently, me!
Call me Isaac “Shylock” Tan. I love to put quarters into the penguin coin bank that Godma Sohie gave me for Christmas!
Since I am learning my numbers from various baby books, I sometimes count them off as I put them in. [...]
Did you hear about that awful accident during the Haj in Saudi Arabia?
Papa says that it was an unfortunate loss of lives. He also says that this is what happens when you get a crowd of people together. He says that a crowd of relatively intelligent people can be collectively very stupid. I think papa [...]
Wednesday’s playgroup made me learn more things about myself. I now know that I am a jealous baby.
When mama helped Aunty Allison carry Baby Julia, this did not escape my attention. After about 10-15 minutes of fraternizing, I confronted mama!
I didn’t stir up a storm or attack anyone. I just looked and looked at mama. [...]
I had a busy day yesterday and I also learned something new.
First, mama and I attended a play session at the county library. Whee! The library is always fun because, even if the people are not interesting, the books are!
Then mama and I met with our regular playgroup in the afternoon. I visited my buddy [...]
I’ll feed myself, thank you very much!
In fact, I have been doing this since about November last year. That was when my folks decided that I should eat and drink more independently. Previously they’d let me feed myself with utensils for just parts of my meals.
They wanted me to be able to eat on my [...]
