Furniture

Papa says that I'm getting quite assertive for such a little guy. I've taken to saying no (or "ehn, ehn") when I don't agree about something. I now get to choose my TV programmes, my books, what I have for tea, who picks me up. I also throw things even when told not to, and end up in the doghouse sometimes.

Some new furniture arrived for me today, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. I created such a din that Grandma had to stay with me in my room for almost two hours until I finally dropped off to sleep that night. Gugu says I'm too young to be an insomniac ;-)

Discovering Thomas the Tank Engine

It's half term this week. Papa went out and found me a lot more episodes to watch, so I've become quite obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine and have forgotten about Pingu at the moment. I even dance the choochoo [movie] to its music. Gugu bought me a new kitchen set, so I'm learning to be the new Paul Bocuse.

I do magic tricks by hiding objects or making them disappear, then I say "where?" a few times, and it amuses the grown-ups immensely. I can also say "what?". This week, Papa declared me officially bilingual when I was able to say the words 'cup' and 'spoon' in both Chinese and English :-). I also learned my first French word 'pomme'.

Just when I thought I was getting better, I started coughing badly on Friday. You see, Va (Grandpa in Teddyspeak) has been home for a few weeks now. He had a nasty cold on Wenzday which Teddy picked up. I woke up this morning with a slight fever. Despite that, Va's impressed I'm in good spirits, unlike him when he's ill.

Papa took me out to meet Auntie Miranda for lunch yesterday. She came all the way from France with her daughter Cammy to see me. We last saw each other a whole year ago. She was most impressed by my good behaviour, and says how much I've grown ;-).
