gotta love little man's speak!

some randomly-picked (read: randomly-recalled) mini conversations with the Big Z ...


.....................................................


Big Z : hey Mummy ... if you're 30, and Daddy is 30 too, how come you're not the same size?

me : (laughing and thinking up an answer)

Big Z : ahh ... i know. coz boys can be bigger than girls.

me : u'huh. you're right. that's why. (and then laughing still ...)

.................................



Big Z : okay Mummy, ill go downstairs and play and watch the movie (Transformers) first, then come up and sleep.

(hardly 15 minutes later, he came back up, looking all shy)

me : what's up? the movie's finished? how come you're up already?

Big Z : coz i think i miss you. i miss your face la, Mummy. so i came up.

me : (a hug i couldnt resist!)


........................................


Big Z has lots to say. well, no surprise there! often, i'd be too tired to have lengthy thought-provoking-provoked-by-a-5-year-old-no-less conversations with him. so, this came about once ...

me : hey Zarif ... you don't have to talk all the time, ok. and don't have to ask me too many things too.

Big Z : aahhh ... ok Mummy. but i cannot do that. i have to ask so many questions.

me : okay. how bout you ask me 2 questions - one in the day and one at night. and save the other questions for your teachers in school. how bout that??

Big Z : awww Mummiieeee!!

me : (nope, that didn't go down quite well with him .. didn't like my idea)

welcoming the new year ...




today, the 7th January '09, Big Z started his new term in school. his second last term at CH before starting primary school next January. where did the years go??
how have your (your child's, rather) first days of school been so far?

today, the 7th January '09, also marks exactly seven Wednesdays away from Baby Z's first birthday. where did 2008 go??

party preparations are very much in progress at Big Lime studio here at home. a theme has been decided and as much as i can allow myself to, or rather, as much as the creative mode in me allows me to, i've plans to decorate and adorn the party set-up as well as party favours to the theme. much like how Big Z's parties have been previously. it won't be quite as big as his parties though, i don't think so. but we'll see.
