K-K-C Amongst Others

09 November 2007, Friday

Bliss for me … I am off today from work so that makes it a 4-day weekend for me, with yesterday being Deepavali. Much as I am enjoying the break, Aiden isn’t with me today. Instead I am babysitting a bunch of workers who are here to do some renovation works in my house.

Now with Aiden totting along everywhere we go, safety at home becomes a priority and our renovation is partly due to that. ZMM can attest to this as she lives in the same neighbourhood as I am in. Hopefully everything gets sorted out by the end of the weekend so that at least I'm able to have peace in the house without the workers' tools hankering away.

Now back to the title of the post, you must be wondering what K-K-C is? In short, it's the little boy's "teapot spout" in the Chinese dialect – Hokkien. Aiden's maternal grandfather thought him this one day, and ever since then, if anyone asked him where his K-K-C is, he will pat with his hands on his diapers pointing to his private part. *LOL*

Our little boy is sure growing up fast, picking up what we say and do almost instantly. Eg:

1. Takes the feather duster and cleans the table (follows the maid)
2. During bath time, he is able to walk to the cupboard and pick out his face towel for showering, walks into the shower and waits for me
3. Uses his toy (which aids him to walk when he was much younger) and pretends that it's the vacuum cleaner and hovers below the table and chairs pretending to clean
4. Wipes the table with the cloth if he accidentally spills water / food
5. Gets cheekier and pushes the limit when it comes to bedtime. He now sleeps at 930pm
6. Starting to get picky with food depending on moods. There are days when he rejects his fruits but will say yes to his favourite yoghurt the next minute

Well, I guess that's really the joy of watching your kid grow up…
