Lachlan is so cheeky...

Every Wednesday is our swimming day. Usually we will go out for dinner after swimming. As Mr. Boss had some work to finish up so i told the boys we are having dinner at home.

Lachlan's favourite restaurant is the italian place where he gets to eat his favourite carbonara pasta and plain bun.

He kept telling me to go out for dinner.. This was what he said to convince me

" Mommy... i think you are too tired to cook dinner tonight... we go out for dinner OKay?!!!"

haha How sweet!! really??? haha naah... he just wanna get what he wished...

In the end, we had our dinner at home.

Lucas had never said such things to me.. he is just so different.. Will try so hard to get the things he wanted.

First Cross Country Day for the boys

On 14th Tuesday, it was a cross country day for whole Junior School. We were there early to support our boys. At 2.30pm, it was Year 1 boys' turn. Both of us were waiting anxiously for Lucas. Almost all the boys have passed the finishing line and still haven't seen Lucas.

10 seconds later, I saw Lucas running slowly hands on his tummy. He was the last one in the race. We were cheering him and he were walking towards me, tears in his eyes. We told him to go on finish the race.

After the race, he told me his tummy hurts. Mr. Boss told him that he used the wrong tactic in running as he started running too fast in the beginning.

Lachlan told him :

"Its ok not to win. That is what the teacher says. We don't have to be number one in running.. "

Hopefully Lucas did better next year :)

As for Lachlan, he did not bad. Not the first but at least he tried and enjoyed the race.

Lucas's Birthday Party





On 6th November, we had a party for Lucas. Initially i told him weeks ago that we are not going to have a birthday party this year and Lucas agreed. Then, one week before his actual birthday, he suddenly wanted a party.

Oh gosh.. how am i gonna arrange all the party invitations and booking etc. So no choice, i told him i let him choose 5 friends over and have a celebration at home. It was a very nice celebration. All the kids enjoyed themselves very much and so was Lucas.

We let the boys played Wii games, racing car track, legos and some special event like Lucky Draw and Yoyos game.

Then On 5th Nov (one day before the party) over the dinner table

Lucas: Mommy, some of my friends asked me when can they come to my party?

Mom and Dad in shock

Mom: what? how come your friends knew your birthday is coming

Lucas: Because the teacher will tell the boys whose birthday is coming and so they knew its mine.

Dad: then what did you say?

Lucas: I told them, can we talk about it later. (*wink*)

What an unexpected answer.. haha i thought Lucas will sure invite all his class mates whoever asked him.

Lucas First Tooth





Lucas was quite brave about loosing his first tooth. This tooth was from his front lower jaw.

He didnt even cry when the tooth came out by itself... well sort of with abit of lucas's help as he kept touching it when the tooth was already quite wobbly.

Biscuit

Lachlan always seem to do things that is so different from his brother. For example, even eating a biscuit...

Lachlan is holding his biscuit spread with cheese

Lachlan: Goh goh.. if you want me to eat, say YES and if you don't want me to eat, say NO

Lucas: IGNORE Him

Lachlan instead of munching the biscuit, he licked the cheese.

2 mins later Lachlan sitting next to Lucas on the couch

Lachlan: You want me to put this inside my mouth.. or outside

Lucas still not responding.

20 seconds later

Biscuit officially gone. Inside lachlan's tummy of course.



Speak OUT

Another funny conversation in the room last night @8.30pm

Lucas: LACHLANNN... speak it out

Lachlan: .........

Lucas: Lachlan... if you tell me the truth, i won't tell mommy. But if you lie to me, i will tell mommy.

Lachlan: (still no response)

Lucas: Ok lachlan, speak it out.... did you say stupid just now??
