Vehicles nicely parked side by side.

Cube Puzzle - Another Side Done !

17 April 2011

Eugene doing his Cube Puzzle again but trying to piece together a different picture now.

 He used to have difficulty piecing together this Jungle Puzzle but nowadays he can do it easily.

Now and then, he would take out his puzzles to piece together.

If only he was so diligent in learning how to read words.

BeyBlade @ Playground

15 April 2011

Eugene likes to go to this playground because in the early evenings, this group of boys will gather and play their BeyBlades and he can watch them challenging each other.

The older boys doesn't talk to Eugene, I guess they consider him a baby but at least they did not chase him away.

In fact, one of the boys let Eugene retrieve their BeyBlades when it jumped out of the plastic arena they were spinning the BeyBlades in. Well, if you know the boys and their Beyblades, nobody touches their Beyblades so this older boy was quite nice about it.

Of cos, Eugene was thrilled to bits that this 'kor-kor' let him have the honour of retrieving it.

 

There's this young girl who kept following Eugene around till Eugene got a bit annoyed and complained to us but we told him to play with her and be gentle with her as she's much younger.

Eugene was later playing 'catching' with a group of older girls.

Hurray! Hold Hands!

Eugene's 1st crush "S" finally let him hold her hands.

Eugene was tugging at his bag.

Me : what are you doing Eugene?

Eugene : I want to give my Glico Pocky to "S" to eat

Eugene gave a stick of Glico Pocky to "S" but "S" don't want it.

Eugene : Mommy, "S" don't want my Glico Pocky (looking a bit downcresten)

 

He was grinning from ear to ear the whole time he was holding her hand.

When they have to part, guess what Eugene did?

He wanted to kiss her goodbye!

Eugene : kiss, a kiss

 S : NO!

I don't know what to say. I've never taught him to kiss anybody except immediate families or very, very close acquaintances.

I'm also wary that the kids' parents/grandparents/guardian might not like it due to hygiene reason or simply just not comfortable with it - because I'll feel the same way if another kid try to kiss Eugene.

Well, will have to keep an eye on this Casanova!

Lego Guns

Eugene's very own DIY Lego Guns.


We saw him playing with the legos and suddenly he came and showed what he made to us.

He made one gun for me and wanted me to play with him. I told him to make another one for daddy so that we can all play together.

Instead of going 'bang, bang, bang' with him , we went 'psst, psst, psst' - 'bang, bang' too noisy lah.

So the three of us got a gun each and we were hiding behind the tables and chairs and 'pssting' at each other, ha ha.

Take that!  Of cos his gun has to be bigger than ours!

Daddy's mini gun .....duh......

Look at my big gun!

 Hmm.... think I'll make it even bigger and longer!

He had seen his cousins playing with those big toy guns and wanted one but we refused to buy it for him and I guess he improvised and made one out of the Lego.

Cube Puzzle - One Side Done !

04 April 2011

I had mentioned here about how Eugene has found it difficult to piece together this cube puzzle as it is multi-sided.

Well, today, he took it out and started to piece it by himself and he did it!

Now, to tackle the other sides of the puzzle.

Letter Box Officer

Yes, Eugene is our Letter Box Officer !



Thank goodness that Eugene can open and close the letter box now as hubby and I are having problem squatting to reach the letter box (old fogeys liao mah, knee pain)

Concentrating to slowly push in the key.

 No letters today!

Locking it now.

Look, flowers!

One of the Boys

26 March 2011

 Eugene having dinner with two of my nephews.

We are lucky that Eugene's rather independent in his eating.

And he would eat and try anything !

I guess sometimes we're over protective and would refuse to let him try the spicy stuff like curry, chilli etc but the more we refuse him, the more he's curious. So what we do is that we let him try it - just a drop of it - he will find it too hot and spicy and he'll never ask for it again, ha ha, no more tussle.

So he usually eats what we're eating (of cos, the food is something that Eugene's able to eat too, like not ordering spicy stuff) and this is so convenient especially if we are going out as we do not have to specially cook his meal and bring it along with us.

The Kid Said.............(2)

Hubby : is Eugene young or old?

Eugene : young

Hubby : is daddy young or old?

Eugene : old !

Hubby : is mommy young or old ?

Eugene : (thought for awhile) .... not old .......
(well done, score for being politically correct! ha ha ha)


*********************


While on the way to class, came across an auntie walking her puppies :

Eugene : mommy, puppies!

Me : yes, how many puppies?

Eugene : three!

(huh? scratching my head)

Me : Eugene! there are only 2 puppies - Auntie is not a puppy!
