Line 'em Up!

Mothers always know when their kids are up to something... when it gets toooo quiet.

Usually, when Jeddy's out of sight and I don't hear any sound from him for one minute, he's up to no good. Somewhere.

So far, he's been caught red-handed throwing my toothbrush into the toilet bowl (urghh!) and scribbling all over the air purifier with a green marker, just to name a couple.

And Jeddy boy is not the type who'd feign innocence too. When discovered, he makes a run for it, complete with big cheeky grin. *shake head*

This evening, I had to go Jeddy-searching again... and well, surprise surprise! It was merely his OCB kicking in and he just had to line up his favourite bedtime story books, back cover facing up!

Gotcha!


















Posing with his work























Left-right-left-right-left-right























For once, I didn't have to fish things out of the toilet bowl or make him go wiping up with a cloth.

Phew!

See what's tickling Jeddy Boy...



And by the time this video was taken, Jeddy would have repeated the synchronization at least 8 times!

;D

Jed and the Beanstalks

Planted 5 kidney beans a couple of weeks ago to show Jeddy boy how plants grow. And my, did they grow!

After a week, the fastest growing bean measured 20 cm tall while the shortest was a mere 3 cm (after taking its own sweet time to sprout). Somehow that just reminded me of the way children grow too -- some faster, some slower, but they all get there eventually. :)

Was a great opportunity for Jeddy to learn how to water the beanstalks and watch them grow day by day. And kidney bean plants are waaaaay more fun than green bean/red bean plants.

There's only so much these beanstalks can grow on a thin bed of cotton and plain water. Well, I'm not about to fry these in a wok with chopped garlic, so the time has come to hand the plants over to Jeddy boy. *Yikes*

He treated the plants with kindness and stroked the leaves really gently... at first. But boys will be boys, and the rough play began to set in before you could even finish saying "kidney beans".

Stroke stroke























Tweak Tweak























Pluck Pluck























Ending up as roundabout shrubbery on Jeddy's town. *sigh*














































Do try growing kidney beans for your toddlers and be fascinated together with them.

Enjoy!

Doodle Doodle

Went to Ikea for a box of chalks (had enough of markers and Jeddy leaving marks everywhere!) for the little one to doodle with. Thought it might be good to let him try out different drawing materials. :)

And so he doodled... and also dropped all the chalks I gave him onto the floor, breaking most of them. Poor Jeddy just sat there among the broken chalks and muttered "huai, huai, huai...." to himself, while trying to attach the broken pieces together. :P
[For the clueless, 'huai' means broken/spoiled in mandarin.]


Doodle Doodle... Jeddy uses his left hand a lot, so maybe he'll be a left-hander like me!






















Flashing his melt-mummy smiles at just the right moment!






















Mummy melts into a puddle.






















Revealing his true true colours as Jeddy the little monster!























*shudder*
