Christian was so shy when he gave the flowers to me...he even forgot the rehearsed words, and shook his head bashfully when P prompted him. Eventually managed a 'happy mama's birthday' :) I think he'll be such a hit with girls next time, if the girls of the future generation still find cute-but-shy guys attractive.
We went to the Botanic Gardens today for the SSO Mother's Day concert, together with the paternal grandparents. C amazed us with his elephant memory.
He asked P "Where are the soldiers?" (We had watched a SAF Band perform at the same spot about 1.5 months ago) and "Where is the orange?" (Our orange had rolled down the grassy slope into the pond right in front of the symphony stage that very same visit).
C's also begun using more adult phrases, which tickle us to no end. He saw the crescent moon and remembered the Eric Carle book "Papa, get the moon for me". Started imagining P and himself as the characters in the book, and talked about the waxing and waning of the moon, but I have no idea why he veered off-topic and said "i want to cut daddy into half". I asked "Why..? Don't you love Daddy?"
He thought about it for a few seconds, said "Umm... I think so... but.. etc etc".
Gosh. My son is growing up. (Although he insists "I'm still a baby. I can cry.")
Aww... so sweet! Happy Mother's dear fren, you're doing a wonderful job! :)
