Today on our way back from grocery shopping at Giant we saw a road roller being loaded on to a lorry. What a sight for my boys!
Actually this was taking place on the other side of the road, so Mommy U-turned and we stopped by the curb behind the lorry and watched the road roller rolled it's way up to a tipped lorry. After that we had to do another U-turn to get back home, so now we stopped on the other side of the road from the road roller and watched how the mad hitched it with a chain to secure it and finally we waved good-bye as the lorry drove off.
When we got back, Micah refused to take his nap, although it was
almost his nap time. He was too excited. He wanted to play with his road roller, George (from Thomas and friends series). After a whole hour he finally climbed into his hammock cradle and feel asleep in no time.When daddy got back after a game of futsal with some colleagues, I asked Micah to tell Daddy our "adventure" of the day. After he told Daddy the incident, Micah turned to me and said...
Micah: When I grow up, I want to drive a road roller.
Mommy: OK. May I ride in it too?
Micah: Sure. You can ride in the seat behind me.
Mommy: Ok Thanks. Is ther a seat at the back?
Micah: No, you need three seats. One for you, one for Max and one for Mamah (grandma) and one for kung-kung (grandpa).
Mommy: Oh, then you will need more than three seats.
Micah: It's ok, then you can walk back. And Daddy can walk back too.
Mommy: Walk back?!
Micah: No, no. I will send you home, ok?
Mommy: OK. Thank you.
Micah: I love the road roller. I will send you home, OK? Don't worry I will send you home.
Mommy: OK. Thank you (giggling under her breath).
Micah: I love the road roller... (blah...blah...).
Micah can be so funny. It's such a ticklish pleasure to talk to him most of the time. Earlier in the evening he was trying to explain something to grandma about how he and Max were playing marbles together. I can't remember what was it exactly now, but Grandma and I had such a hard time keeping a straight face.Micah and his speeches: Such amusement!

He is such a smart boy. Its so cute when children start talking. They are so innocent and honest about their feelings
Kin, i was telling Mike on sunday in the church that Micah is really advance in speaking, he has a good command of english. I love to see him speaking with the children in the church, he speaks better than a 6 year old kid. He can form sentences and i like the way he said 'one day one sweets only'. he's so adorable.
Mummy-yeoh: Yeah. They are really such a breath of fresh air! But there are also days when they can drive you up the wall when they express their negative feelings with non-consolations.
Infant: He sometimes chooses to talk gibberish and talk like Max so it can be really funny too. Grandma was frustrated many times when she tried to show-off her grandson and he just spew gibberish on her and her friends. Poor grandma. *wink* to Micah.
You must be so proud of him. I feel proud of him too and he's not even mine! haha....
But negative comments....hmmm...at least their frank and mean no malice ya!
Yeah, Micah is such a word wonder. He really makes everyone laugh because he is (as both the grandmas always say) "so clever to talk"... but action follows slower. But he is a child. Even adults very often find it hard to keep to their words.
Negative expressions are like when he is upset, then he really says negative stuff, e.g. when he does not want to nap, then he will whine and say, "I just want to sleep all the time and don't want to wake up. No waking up, ok? Just sleep all the time, ok?..." and repeats this in his whining tone on and on...
