His Latest Craze

12 06 2010

It’s no secret that Jay loves animals.

He had his eye on this Lego-Duplo Zoo set, but we’ve always resisted getting it for him because it is expensive. Like more than 200 bucks?! Gosh, this is obviously a job for the Grandparents or Rich Uncle/Aunty. Haha! But he is usually content with just going to Isetan to look at the animals on the cover of the box.

This morning, I brought him over to Parkway for breakfast, and after a hearty meal, we decided to walk it off and saw a small toy shop at the basement of the shopping centre, and went in.

Immediately, Jay was captivated by some toys.

Playmobil! (Little comfort, cos it is as expensive as the Duplo one! Yikes…)

And they had a fabulous range of animal safari and zoo sets, and he had such a fun time pointing out the various animals to me. In the photo above, he is staring at, no, not the pyramid, but a small scorpion at the lower right hand of the box! Haha!

He found a safari set placed in the shelf waaaay above his reach and bugged me to carry so he could view the animals.

Mommy: “Ok, let’s go off now.” (Mommy’s tired.)

Jayvon: “Buy and go home?” (Nice try, kiddo…)

Mommy: “No, we bring Daddy here to see ok?” (Let him be the one to say No, heh!)

Jayvon: “No. Bring giraffe.”

Mommy: “Why giraffe??!”

Jayvon: “Giraffe tall tall taaaaalllll… Take box, buy and go home.”

Mommy: “Erm…….. Ok! We bring the giraffe next time.”

Jayvon: “Ok!”

 

Hahaha! Jay really cracks me up with his line of thoughts sometimes!





New Pyjamas

6 05 2010

Sometimes Jay really throws me off-guard with how he thinks and what he says!

Being the *ahem* online shopaholic that I am, I have bought many tee-shirts, be they long-sleeved, short-sleeved or sleeveless, jackets, bermudas, shorts, jeans from Old Navy and Gap…

And so it was a matter of time before I would get into pyjamas.

Yes. Pyjamas. I bought pyjamas. Online.

Thank God for a longsuffering hubby who bears with all this!

How cute these are, don’t you think?

He wore these for the first time tonight, and after getting into it, he looked down at the pants and loudly exclaimed:

“Why like that?!”

Jayvon Talking…

13 04 2010

Jayvon (singing): “We going to zoo… how ‘bout you-you-you?”

 

Mommy: “Ok. You want to go to the zoo? Ask Daddy later, alright?”

 

Jayvon: “Daddy say yes.”

 

Mommy: “Hmm? Really?”

 

Jayvon: “Daddy say yes.”

 

Mommy: “Hmm… when did you ask him?”

 

Jayvon (impatiently): “Daddy say YES.”

 

Mommy: “Alright…”

 

Jayvon: “Got hippo, got elephant, got zebra, got giraffe, got rhino, got lion… we going to zoo, how ‘bout you-you-you?”

Jay adores zebras.

Well, he adores animals as a whole…

But these stripey animals have a special place in his heart.

He showed me this seaweed biscuit and our conversation went like this:

Jayvon: “Stripes!”

Mommy: “Hmm… It’s more like spots, baby.”

Jayvon: “Stripes”

Mommy: “Spots. Say… spots”

Jayvon: “Spots”

Then he points to the biscuit again, and…

Jay: “Stripes! Same as zebra! Stripes!”

Mommy: “……”
