Few days of summer


It so far seems like the end of May was the only summer we will be having.  Those few days were really good and hot where we could sit out in T-shirt and shorts.  It was bad for the diet though as we had a few days of McDs in a row to 'picnic'.  You however were more than happy with nuggets and eat up to 8 pieces at one go!

Back to LWH

Middle of May saw the end of travelling everyday to Chester.  Time does really fly as I've been doing it for 18 months!!  So far, I am totally enjoying my new training in fetal and maternal medicine.  Quite a steep learning curve with lots of reading to do, but at least it allows me to sleep an extra 30 mins in the morning, and I get to pick you up from nursery :)

Pleasantly surprised by a bouquet of flowers from Chester

Comments from Isaac

You after eating food that you like
'It's all in my stomach, MMMMmmmmmm!!!!' and then rubs your tummy

Me: Are you a little boy?
You:  No, Isaac a big boy!
Me: OK, big boys watch news on TV ok?
You:  No, Isaac little boy now, want watch Octanauts

Pointing to Richard
'Dada is a BIG 'he', mummy is a BIG 'she''

After you have been naughty and I raise my voice
You: Mummy I love you, mummy I love you (and then cups my face).  I'm sorry.. Mummy I love you
How do I get angry with you?  And your daddy tells me that you never 'bully' him and always listens to him.

Your carers report that this is what you tell them
You: Isaac no need sleep in afternoon

While admiring some flowers in someone's garden, I said to Richard in Cantonese while pointing to the flowers
Me: 'Hui jong ka fa gei leng'
You: 'That is not 'jong' Mummy, that is 'flowers'!
How in the world am I going to teach you Cantonese or Mandarin?

After picking you up from nursery, I asked 'Did you play in the 'garden' today?' 
There must have been a slip of pronunciation as this was your reply
'Mummy, garden is outside, Gordon is a train!!'
