In my shoes
Gerald has recently taken a fancy to wearing my shoes. He will go to the shoe shelf and take my shoes, put them on, and run around the house with them.
In shoes too large for him.
This is another stage in his growing up, wanting to be like an adult. Hope he won't grow up too quickly and remain my baby for a little while longer.
Wonder if my shoes are more comfortable. He may be hinting that his shoes are getting too old or tight and it is time to buy new ones.
Today, near the end of class at GUG, when the other kids were washing their hands and I was busy trying to help clean up his mess after the craft session, he slipped through the open classroom door. I wasn't really concerned cos my maid is sitting outside along the narrow corridor and will usually catch him as he runs away. However, my maid must have been not paying attention as when I came out of the classroom a few minutes later, she didn't even know that Gerald has run out of the classroom. I asked her where Gerald was and she shrugged her shoulders!!! Sigh... good help is hard to find. Then, Li laoshi came and said, "Gerald is standing at the front doors wearing your shoes." I was shocked and amused. He actually went to the shoe racks where all the kids' and parents' shoes were, correctly picked out my shoes, put them on and went to stand at the front door, waiting to go home!

A Great Day
Mummy took child care leave on Friday just to take me out to play and to spend time bonding with me. When we woke up on Friday morning, it was really hazy (PSI 103) but we were determined to go and spend time as a family, haze or no haze. After all, there are only 2 precious days of child care leave that mummy can take in a year. Friday is daddy's weekly day off so we're not gonna waste a perfectly good day (except for the haze)We bravely headed down to Sentosa and then to Vivocity where I had a great time.
I had sunscreen slathered all over me.
I built sandcastles.
I took a walk to the southernmost point of Asia Continent.
I had a ride on the beach train.
I played at the new playground in Vivocity.
What a great day!

Gerald's naughty
Yesterday night, Gerald "scolded" mummy. He was his usual mischevious self, trying to grab my pen and papers as I was marking. When I gathered my papers and pointed my finger at him, Gerald actually stopped and said "Naughty!" to me in a deep, angry voice. I was trying very hard to keep a straight face, as all parenting books and courses advised one to keep a straight, emotionless face when disciplining young children, but I ended up bursting into laughter. Hahaha... so cute, I actually got "scolded" by my son. How to discipline someone so cute?

Happy Children's Day
Gerald had a Children's Day party in GUG today. This is his second party as he attended one in church yesterday. He had lots of food but he was particularly attracted to the biscuits, which are his favourite. All the children were busy getting a sugar-overload while all the parents were busy snapping pictures. Take a look:
Gerald checking out his loot.
Eating his favourite biscuits, which mummy bought.
Trying to stuff the whole biscuit into his mouth.
Look at all his little friends.
