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.

Didi 1st Day in School

9 May 2012
Suddenly, babysitter gave me a call on 8th of May and said that she has some illness that required operation and need to take a few months rest. She said Didi should be ready to go to school by now. So, with that, Didi was sent to school the next day. No other options that we can have for the last minutes arrangement.

Luckily, Koko can take care of Didi. Koko is very protective of Didi and will not allow anyone to scold Didi, even me or Hubby. He'll stand in front of Didi if saw the cane being brought out. Koko will even cry if he saw Didi was been carried by strangers. So, luckily Koko was there for Didi on the first day of school.

7.15am, still sleeping soundly. 

Having his milk and cheeky Koko is playing around the room.

On the way to school. Didi was having flu after a few days of swimming in Redang Island. 

When I left both of them in school, Didi was still happy to go in with Koko. Koko walked hand in hand with Didi and even helps him to carry his bag. When I talked to teacher during lunch, she said Didi did cry and was looking for Mummy. Didi was placed in the same class with Koko for temporary for him to get used to it. Koko said Didi was sitting on his leg most of the time when they were in the classroom. 

When we fetched him home @530pm. Didi looks very happy in the classroom. 

Koko took Didi's shoes for him to wear and then hold his hand. Accompanied by Uncle Woon. 

Very happy to see us there. 

Second day, Didi was been separated out and join the Year 3 friends.

Teacher said Didi must hold something on his hand. At first, he was carrying his bag and water tumbler all the time until teacher managed to convince him to put his bag down. So, now every morning, I'll give him something to hold on his hand. Either a biscuit or a book or chocolate. Something for Didi to hold to make him feel better.

Today, 16th May, after 7 days in school, Didi already know the way going to school. This morning, when the car reached the school junction, Didi started to cry and said 'Bu yau, bu yau...' Haiiz... not sure how long will this transition need to be. Most important thing that I'm praying hard is Didi doesn't fell sick.

Didi's 1st perfect hair cut

April 10 2012 - Another milestone for Didi before reaching 2 year old. 

We went to the barber almost monthly or min is at least once in 2 months. Every time, Hubby will go first and then follow by Koko. Didi will be the last as after him, we'll need to rush home to console him down. 

However, on this day, we changed the strategy. Get Didi to go first. Surprise, surprise. Didi just sit down and no tear at all. He looks scared and doesn't dare to move about. The barber got it done perfectly for him. Usually, with him fighting around, his hair cut is only 40-50% complete only. My boy is big now...

New words from Didi

Didi found this book 2 nights ago. He found it placing at the rack outside of our room. He has been reading it since then. He points, I read. We read many times as there is only 3 pages. Last night, suddenly Didi opened the book and said ‘Onion’. He pointed to the right picture as well. Why onion? Guess the picture attracted him the most.

There is another favorite from Didi recently. Berry, berry. I couldn’t catch it at first until he pointed it to me. Strawberry. My smart little baby.
