Meeting Auntie Cheryl again

Auntie Cheryl took us to Clearwater Bay Country Club. While Dexter slept I rode in a boat in the playground and chatted with Auntie Cheryl and Auntie Mui, and to SGG’s pleasure did lots of my party tricks including showing Auntie Mui my yoga positions and talking lots and coherently. After lunch, we went to the marina to see the big boats and fishes. I had fun.

While we were at Clearwater Bay with Auntie Cheryl, Papa went to see my class teacher Miss Stella to discuss my achievements this term. Both Miss Stella and Papa agreed I have grown-up a lot recently, and gave me only stars and ticks on my report card this time around, no triangles :-). SGG and Grandma both think I have really come together over this past month. I’m not sure what this means but I think it has to do with me being better behaved (although I still do senseless things sometimes) and making more sense and holding proper conversations instead of only giving one-word replies such as “Yes”, “No” or saying only “I don’t yike it” when I talk.

Eilidh, Catriona and Dexter

I then had three play dates this month, the first on the 17th with Big’s friends, Eilidh, Catriona, Auntie Nathalie and “That Man”, Uncle Fergus. Eilidh and Catriona gave me a red taxi which I “yike” very much.

Today, I met Dexter, Auntie Mui and Auntie Cheryl. I was hungry and couldn’t concentrate on playing until after I had eaten. I then introduced Dexter to Coney and when we left, Dexter and I hugged.

Ocean Park

Easter Holidays started after school on the 7th and I promptly fell ill. For the first few days, Gugu Big gave me my usual medicine, but I got hot in the head on the 12th and asked SGG to take me to see Dr Bean. The nurse at Dr Bean’s gave me some medicine to inhale to open up my lungs and lots of medicine to take home, including some anti-biotics (which Papa taught me to call uncle-biotics!). It was a week before I got fully better :-(.

Today, SGG took me to Ocean Park to spend the day with her friend Carol, and her daughters Adele and Aimee. I had fun and even tried the ‘Frog Hopper’ ride which I didn’t like and had to get off after a couple of hops. We saw dolphins and a very large sea lion on the back of a truck. It was a hot day and the walking tired me out so I asked SGG to take me home at lunchtime.

Hong Kong Disneyland

Papa and SGG took me to Disneyland today (Ching Ming Festival). It was a long way, and it took over one hour to get there. we took a taxi and two trains – one train had Mickey’s ears-shaped windows.

I had a lovely time. I rode Dumbo twice, Hundred Acre Wood with Pooh and his friends three times and the carousel (four times). We went on an adventure boat ride, saw the 3-D show called ‘Mickey’s Philharmagic’ and ‘The Lion King’ show which was a little scary when Scar appeared.

We then saw the Parade with all the different characters on floats including Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Pooh and Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Jess. We got home at 5.15pm and I was tired but excited. Papa and SGG said I was a very good boy today:-).

Potty trained

I still keep asking SGG and the grown-ups, “where’s Grandpa?”. Grandma says it is because I miss Grandpa. I still think Grandpa is in hospital but SGG tells me that Grandpa has gone away. She also told me that Grandpa is in my heart and if I love him, Grandpa will be with me always. I automatically piped up, “I yove him, I yove Grandpa” which for some strange reason made SGG cry.

Today, I told SGG I wanted to do a big doodah in the potty. I tried for what seemed ages and SGG said I could go play and try again later, but I told her, “No, I will do it” and I did. SGG was very proud of me :-).
