Little updates on Daryl

Times passes so fast. Our little Daryl will be turning 2 years old this Sunday. Witnessing his growth and development have been the happiest moment for us.

Although he is not a fast learner, but he have indeed learn quite a lot of things after he passes 1 year old. He enjoy helping out with the littles things we ask him to, like fetching and passing things to us, helping us to bring the clean laundry from kitchen to our bed in the room etc.

With a playful nature, he start giving us funny faces and is alway up to some mischief. I almost have heart attack when I saw him standing on the seat of his little toy bike and trying to lift up the bike with his hands at the same time, u know those kind of bicycle act that some teenagers like to perform.

But this little boy is afterall still rather brave, coz usually he will not cry if he only suffered slight fall, but will come and tell me which part of his body is pain due to the fall. Even if he cried if it is more painful, it is also for a while only, not for long (as long as my parent his favourite ah gong and ah ma not around).

Then early this month, little Daryl promoted to be a little kor kor with the arrival of his little cousin Xuan. Then for the 1st time, I saw his angry and jealous face when my mum carried Xuan in front of him. But again it is only for a while, coz he very quickly break into smile when he saw my brother taking picture of him.

From what I observed, it seem that little Daryl sayang me more than his daddy. Coz he will vent his anger on his daddy. For example, if i scold him becoz he is naughty, he will beat his daddy, or if I say daddy is naughty or bully mummy, beat daddy, he will. But he will hardly beat me or will at times refused to beat me even his daddy tell him to.

Also, he is more sticky to me. When his daddy scold him or beat him, he will run to me for comfort but when I scold of beat him, he will not want to be comfort by his daddy but will still run to me. Even when he sleep with us on our bed, he tend to lie nearer to me or even want to share the same pillow as me.

He is also a rather possesive boy as he will not allow his favourit people like, me, his daddy, ah gong and ah ma to kiss each other coz he will beat us as only he can kiss us, muahahaha.

For unknown reason, he seem to be like those barrier in the carpark alot. Whenever he saw one, he will exclaimed :"ONA", his own words for barrier. He will also turn back to see the barrier even we have drive past it.

I did not forget on my aim to bake his 2nd birthday cake. It was always on my mind. In fact, I have the receipe and ingredient at home but due to my morning sickness, I am really unable to try baking the cake at all. Yes, little Daryl will be having a little sibling joining him in November this year. Guess, I have to give up my plan for baking him a birthday cake this year. Also, we are not holding any big party for him this year. Maybe the most is a small scale celebration with immediate family members.

Now, what I am trying to do is to slowly let him accept his coming new sibling without any jealousy.......
