Mother and CP are both very relieved and happy - they say it's better this way because there was this 'danger' of the tooth being accidentally swallowed if it remained so wobbly. Although I am also quite relieved that that tooth has finally decided to make way for the new one (which is nothing close to emerging yet), somehow I feel a tinge of 'sadness' about it.
Perhaps, it is because I know the falling-off is premature and that gap on the gum will probably remain for a long time. And when I saw the fallen tooth yesterday, it was really so much more hollow than WY's equivalent - which probably meant that it had really stopped growing since a long time ago. Sigh.
Fortunately, WF remains very positive about the whole thing. He told me quite happily about the shaky tooth falling off, when R and I went to bring him home from CH school yesterday. In fact, he was quite gleeful about it! All the time when his teacher was explaining how the tooth had fallen off and was in his lunch-box (WF had placed it there just like we instructed him to do if the tooth fell off whilst he was in school), WF went on grinning at R and me to show off the gap where that tooth had been!
Then later in the evening, he asked me if the new tooth is 'going to come out'. I told him that it won't be so soon because it is still growing and is not ready yet. I think we will fix an appointment with his dentist for a check-up soon.

Last Sunday, we went Junction 8 because WY was keen to make use of the Yoshinoya discount/special offer coupons which he had obtained when we went to the Yoshinoya outlet at World Trade Centre/Vivo City with HA and J during their December 2006 visit.
After the lunch at Yoshinoya, we walked about a little because we wanted to buy a pair of 'eyes' for his Speech & Drama hand-puppet. WF and R decided to go look at the TV-related stuff at Best Denki shop (again!) whilst WY and I went about looking for the 'eyes'.
To our disppointment, we found nothing close to what we had in mind. Then we ventured into this gift shop selling many different types of beads which are often used to make handphone accessories and bracelets etc. Some of the colourful beads were a little like 'girly' stuff, but others looked quite gender-free. Most of the beads were glittery although some actually looked very 'matt'.
WY and I both agree, however, that they all looked quite exciting, and rather 'in'! As we browsed the trays and trays of beads, we saw that some beads actually had letters printed on them! So, after a while, we decided to buy a pair of beads with the letter 'O' on them as a 'standby' which we would use as the 'eyes' for his hand-puppet if we really couldn't find anything more suitable. That pair of beads cost me $1.80. Woah!
Later on, we also custom-made a stainless steel bookmark using the letter-beads for WY's best friend in CH school because that boy is going to quit BASC at the end of this month. I know that WY is rather sad about his friend's impending departure, and so even though I knew that the bookmark would cost quite a lot of money (it finally cost $8.40), I agreed to pay for it.
WY went about selecting the beads he wanted, and then he also asked if he could pick a tiny fish-toy to be attached to the end of the bookmark. WY explained that to him, the fish is part of Nature, and so the fish-toy would represent the common passion for Nature/National Geographics which he shares with this friend of his. :)
从这个小小的举动， 我再次肯定 WY 真的是一个多么有情感的孩子啊！
After we paid for the bookmark, we met up with R and WF once again. Then we proceeded to the basement carpark. Just as we passed by the Polar cakes & pastry outlet at B1, WY and I saw one particular cake amongst those on display. Woah! WY and I instantaneously agreed that WF would definitely be delighted to see this! Without any hesitation, I decided to get it for our 'post-dinner dessert':
Pretty, right?! WF was so thrilled to see this cake in the evening that he readily posed with it just before we cut it - and finished it! R had to make some green tea for himself to go along, though, because it was a butter-cream cake! :)*********************************
When we cut the cake on Sunday evening, R mumbled a fair bit about why we were cutting and eating a cake when it wasn't anybody's birthday etc. Actually, that was also true lah, we just had my birthday cake the week before and there wasn't really a need to buy a cake for 'dessert'.
But then, I was so attracted to that cake, and just couldn't resist bringing it home, mah! Especially since WF is such a great fan of Thomas & His Friends, how could I resist grabbing it before any other kid's parent buys it home, right?!
Well.... then, on Monday, I read from Kay-AngMo that Sunday had been HA and M's 7th wedding anniversary! What coincidence! So, we had unknowingly and remotely 'celebrated' it, lor! Hahahahaa....
To HA & M: Happy Anniversary! :)

Wah, so nice, the cake!
BTW, do you happen to have a hi-def picture of Gordon?
I promised my son to make his new room a "Gordon" room, and therefore need to print a poster of Gordon. He seems to like the big engine better.
Often, he will compare himself as Gordon when he needs to feel big, but he will say he is Thomas, when I say to him to finish his food, and he says he is small like Thomas.
Clever guy, flexible and quick-witted already.
Next week, on 7th is his 3rd birthday. It is easter weekend, therefore we only celebrate it ourselves, cos all other people will be on vacation and unavailable.
This trend will continue here in CH (sigh).
We don't have any picture of any particular engine, actually. Why don't you let your camera do the job? Take some shots on high def, then print from there, lor.
Btw, does J take more milk now that he stays home in the day?
Hi, I am thinking of that option of taking my own photo of Gordon.
What I need more, is a good photo, with scenary of Gordon (main character) with all the other engines and tracks. I cannot recreate that easily.
J stopped drinking his "nengneng" quite easily. We told him he is "big dragon" now and that big dragons do not take the bottle. He stopped completely. We tried to feed him some normal milk in a cup, but he refuses.
He occasionally drinks (if offered) chocolate milk in the morning. I will try to make it a daily thing.
However I am not too concerned, since he is eating well and healthy and running around.
Pls don't go about "these are the critical growing years, we must be careful" line of advice. We all know this already.
