Little Marc loves my night shirt which has a princess, soldier and a clown printed on it. He is always fascinated with the princess crown and the colorful clown. So yesterday I made him a crown out of craft papers so that he can amuse himself. He put on a smile in front of the mirror and not long he accidentally tore the crown. I guess his crown is too flimsy.
Later I thought I want him to enjoy a few children songs and so I searched the web for lyrics to sing to him. And I found this website which has over 2000 songs. I think I can sing till my mouth runs dry with that amount of songs LOL: http://bussongs.com/activity_songs.php
But I plan to do action songs with him so that he can have more fun moving his hands and legs. Songs like "Wheel on a bus", "Itsy bitsy spider", "Row row row your boat" and "Old Macdonald" will be fun.

I have been feeling very guilty lately because I haven’t been much around my Little Marc. It’s a busy month doing things around the house. I have not been reading and playing with him much. I am full of remorse and why am I typing my thoughts here instead of playing with him? It is because he is watching his favorite Elmo. I promise I will make up to him later.
These 2 months, he definitely shows some development in pronouncing words and vocabulary. He can pronounce Elmo correctly, unlike in the previous few months where he call Elmo as “Mou”.
Recently his father caught him a little spider and he learned a new word but can’t pronounce it correctly. He pronounces
spider = piescher
cat = miao
Apple = pak
Raisins = sin
Kite = guystch
……LOL
But he can pronounce book, peach, baby, milk , ball correctly
It is also a difficult week for me because I think he is having his second stage teething. So when he eats, he gets very messy and it is also a time where he dislikes his veggies. I hope it will be over soon!
I heard this song from Oprah Winfrey’s show when I tune in to yesterday’s morning TV program. I seldom listen to a country song but this one sung by Darius Rucker (from the Hootie and the Blowfish) is different. It is easy listening and the lyrics are beautiful but a bit touchy thinking I am in the same situation. He sang about the life phases as a parent and watching his kid grow from a baby to when she gets old and then she will just flew out from his arms.
Don’t you all feel the same way? I mean when I was young I have so many great and happy memories being with my parents and siblings but when I am on my own, having my own family, I somehow feel I have lost part of them. The only thing that survived is my memories when I am with them as a family, living in the same house… all the chats and laughs.
I think it will break my heart if one day my baby is going to grow up not depending on me anymore. I can imagine when he grow up, he will have his own life, busy with work, friends and hobby and what was left for me as an old folk is to find my own personal interest in replace of my children. So to all of you…do cherish your moments with your young love ones before they are ready to take off….. C'est la vie!
