I ask...for the sauce...

We were at Long John Silver yesterday afternoon for some fries & cold milo (upon joshuaboy's request). Then joshuaboy asked for more tomato sauce. I told him to get one more packet from the aunty at the counter.

Joshuaboy: mummy, lai, lai...

mahmmyboy followed him, stopped, stood behind him.

Joshuaboy: aunty, I want tomato sauce.

The counter staff gave him 3 packets. Joshuaboy took only one.

Joshuaboy: thank you aunty...xie xie... (fyi - the aunty is a young malay lady)

He turned around & gave me a broad smile...
I smiled back at him...
...felt proud of him.

Skype...

just skype with pappy who is at jakarta now... joshuaboy was rather excited to see pappy online...while i was talking to pappy, joshuaboy fell off his chair...hahaha....no big issue, no injury, just hurt his bum. He called out," mummy, help..." That taught him a lesson not to jump on his seat with his bum...

That was one of our conversations in the car on our way back from the kindergarten. He will initiate the conversation by telling me happenings in class.
