Sharp eyes saved lives!

I (Theo) spotted massive blobs of dirt in Elias ears one day and alerted mummy. Thank God it was then we discovered Elias's ears badly needed cleaning!

Recently  I (Theo) spotted a wasp nest in our Living room. We left it long enough before the little worms had chance to grow fully into adults. Mummy was feeling really squirmish about the whole thing! I remembered mummy grabbing me & screaming when she saw a lizard at Botanical Gardens one say & she scared me till I cry! What an endearing mummy I have. :)

coffee talk: Marriage

Elias: I want to marry mummy
Mummy: Ok ok
Theo: Oh I can't marry mummy because I am too short.
Mummy: hahahaa... its ok lah... I love you , you can marry me too! :))
God already prepared for you a girl and you won't be too short for her. But mummy have to interview her first ok? :)

Overheard: How many people left? (early addition and subtraction)

Theo: you guys go to the library lah, I will sleep by myself Mum: then who will take care of you? Theo: zsa zsa lah Mum : if both of us go, how many people will be left in the house? Theo (without battling an eyelid) : Three Mum (surprised): Huh? How many? Theo: Three Mum (not convinced) :who are they? Theo: Me, Zsa Zsa and Elias. Dad: if ah ma comes over, then how many people in the house? Theo: Four lah

Jab

Theo: After di di finish his jab, then whose turn?
Mummy: After di di, it will be your turn.

Theo: I don't want injection, because the needle is very sharp. I am a human being so I don't like people use sharp things to poke me.
Mummy: Oh every human being has to go for injection. When you were a baby you had lots of injection, you were not scared, you didn't cry.

Theo: I want to be animal, mummy.
Mummy: Why?

Theo: Because animal no need to have injection.
Mummy: Oh even dogs need to go for vaccination...

Theo: I'll be a horse ...
Mummy: Why do you want to be a horse?

Theo: because I like people to ride on my back lah
Mummy: Ok, We can play that later, you pretend to be horse, I'll pretend to be a little boy..

Theo: Horse no need injection ...

(hahah... he remembers!)

Shame

Theo (pointing to mummy and daddy's wedding picture): Mummy, why did you wear like that?
Mum: You mean the wedding dress?
Theo: No, why like that? (pointing to my off-shoulder dress), its shame lah
Mum: (laughing!) Oh, that, yes. Mummy only wear like that during wedding.

3-yr-old instructing mum how to 'train a kid"?

Theo has such a sense of responsibility and gifts of helps beyond his age, I could hardly believe what KB was saying today. (Not that I endorse the principle, but I was pleasantly surprised at his thinking process). He had shown such growth at taking care of his little brother.

Scenario 1: (Mummy took baby Elias into the bedroom into his crib during dinner time, KB noticed and asked)

Theo: Mummy, why is di di in the room?
Mummy: Theo, di di is being disciplined because he did not want to get into his high chair.
Theo: Mummy, don't punish him, just talk to him. Say "Elias get into your high chair" and he will sit down. You see. Punish is not good mummy.
Mummy: Theo, we're not discussing this for the moment ok, because mummy is taking care of him.
Theo: Its not good for Elias to be punished mummy...

He even got all the details communicated... whew!

Scenario 2 (Elias was afraid)
Theo: Elias , no need to be afraid, (and started singing) "I'm not afraid of anything, anything, anything, I'm not afriad of anything, cuz Jesus lives in my heart"

Self-control

We turned on the air-con tonight as it was a rather warm evening. As we reached for the remote-control, KB said "This also needs self-control".

Fruit of the spirit

I overheard KB telling me the other day when we had fruits for snack.

(we were eating fresh cocktail of papaya, apple and apricot)

KB: Hmmm... I like this fruit of the spirit.

"Overheard"

"Overheard" is a section where the cutest thing is heard on planet earth. This is a keepsake for my children so that they know how much I treasure them, and every word they say not only bring joy to our homes, but a priceless treasure for keeps...
