Only 2 of them

The recent activities that Koko and Didi enjoy doing together.

On the way back from SP. 2pm, nap time.

Shopping time. Koko was the one that told me there are 2 places for both of them. I need to rely on him for good observation now. 

Enjoying the movie. Latest Didi's favorite - Wrath of the Titans. 'Alien' - that is what Didi describe. He can watch till almost end of the show. Once he even stopped Koko's movie 'Chicken Little' to  play his new movie. 

Koko's favorite -Tom and Jerry. Watching while waiting for Daddy to be online. 

A Miracle Hug

It was a very touching moment to see the brotherly relationship between Didi and Koko. Recently, Didi has been quite demanding on the things that he wanted to have. (eg: chocolate). What I have done was just to leave him alone. Yes, alone crying, throwing his tantrums. The miracle happened. Didi found his way to console himself.

Last night, Didi was throwing his tantrums over the colour pencils that he shared with Koko. I was busy (busy watching my favorite movie, bad mom ha..) and I just left Didi alone. Suddenly, he just went up to hug Koko. 'Pau pau, pau pau'. Koko was stunt, but he just hug Didi in return. Since then, both of them become very good friends. Koko will share everything with Didi and Didi just stopped crying. Didi has a very sad running tear all over his face. When he hugged Koko, it was such a touching moment to see both of them clinging on each others arms. For almost the whole night, they were happy playing together. Didi kept on giving Koko a hug once awhile.

This morning, while Koko was crying for feeling very sleepy, Didi just went over and gave him a hug. Then, both of them were calmed down.

There was the same scenario for last week. Didi was crying loudly and I just left him alone. After couple of minutes, he just went to hug Koko and he just stopped crying. Koko is very caring whenever Didi hugs him. He will hold him and telling him to stop crying and will hold his hand going around the house.

It is so nice and happy to see both of them, building up a strong brotherly, friend relationship.

1st Movie in Cinema

Koko had his experience when he was 2yrs++. Kungfu Panda. He managed to concentrate on movie till the end, though with 3 times visit to the loo. It was cold and I have forgotten to let him wear his long pant or jacket. The cinema wasn't pack and there were a lot of empty seats. Supposedly, Koko can enjoy the seat by himself, but he was tucked to Hubby and me coz of the temperature. We learnt the lesson.

Koko's 1st cinema movie

Didi's 1st cinema movie

Madagascar 3 has just started. Since Koko and Didi enjoy the movie, we thought it'll be good for Didi to experience cinema this round. Guess Didi didn't really understand what's cinema but he was excited as Koko was very excited about it. We went on Sat night, last minute decision. This time, I packed all the jackets, stocking and food for them. Knowing the condition and potential situation with both of them. Unfortunately, the movie was fully packed except for the 1st row. Koko was so disappointed. Crying in front of the cinema shouting Madagascar.

The next morning, as soon as Koko woke up, he said "Going to cinema now?". I were stunt as I thought he has forgotten about it. Need to keep the promise to him. We went to the cinema after breakfast thinking to catch the early show. It was packed too but luckily still have 4 rows from screen. This round, it was the experience with Didi. Didi is 2yrs++ now and it's his 1st movie in cinema. He stayed concentrated for ~30minutes. Then, he started to move around, started with popcorn and the drink and then the chocolate biscuits. He has total no focus on the movie after the first 30minutes. It was still ok for him to move around as he was not making any noise. Then, the game started. 'Em em, em em', said he wanna pass motion. Quickly I brought him to the toilet. He was so happy to get out from the movie. Ok, finished pass urine, we went in back. 10minutes later, he said again wanna get to toilet. In total, 3 times we went to toilet. By the third time, the movie has left 10minute to ending. 'Finished??', Didi asked. Koko went to the toilet together on the last 2 rounds. He didn't has full concentration on the movie too. I guess a lot of eyes were on us as we were running in and out from the theater.

Madagascar 3 isn't superb compare to Madagascar 2 or 1. There is no specific scene that give you a 'wow' feel. I didn't really has time to enjoy the movie, as concentration was with the 2 little boys. Conclusion, Didi and Koko need toilet break!! Anyway, it was a good experience with them. Now, fulfill another milestone for Didi.

Boy's mom or Dad's girlfriend?

This scene has kept on coming to my mind and I still couldn't figure out who/what exactly the role of this lady should be. Last 2 weeks while waiting for Hubby to meet potential car buyer, we went to McD so that both of kids can occupied their time on the playground. While watching them running up and down on the slides, I noticed this family of 4 sitting by the side of the playground. I were watching them for quite long and I guess the mom noticed as well. I were almost staring at her, not able to control myself.

The grandmother (i guess from the father's side), 4-5yrs boy, the father and the mother (this is a mysterious woman for me, but I guess she is the mom since the boy looks so much like her). 4 of them were having their dinner. The grandma was busy feeding  porridge to the boy. The father was scolding the boy for not eating up. The mom was sitting far at the end, eating her fries and talking to the father. She didn't even take a look at the boy. Not to mention try to feed him, she has totally no physical/verbal/emotion contact with the boy.

We were there for ~30minutes and I just can't keep my eyes away from her. She is young and pretty lady. I was wondering if she is really the mom or is the father's girlfriend. I kept on looking at her, waiting for her to do something or talk to the little boy. Is she the mom? Why she'll just let the grandma feeds the boy and she was just enjoying her meal? The grandma was feeding herself and the boy at the same time. She looked happy and not distracted although the boy was throwing tantrum of not wanting to have the food. Only the grandma and father responded to the boy. Can a mom past the responsibility to the grandma? Is there some family conflict that cause her not to interact with the son? I just couldn't find a valid reason for a mom not to take care of the son when they are together.

I guess I'm just too busy body, but I just couldn't imagine a mom in this way. If only she is the mom...

Drawing by Koko

After saw Didi with a paper to draw 'papaya', Koko started his drawing too. This is what he did.

He drew these first, eye, nose and a smiling mouth

I asked him, on each of the others parts and this is what Koko ended up with.

He improved on this earlier drawing. Adding the body, ear, legs..

These was I saw at the end on the paper. 

I'm very proud with Koko.
