Long while back, I read somewhere that your children will start out by getting to know your friends but after they are grown up, you will also expand your network by getting to know THEIR FRIENDS..
I had expected this to start only when Ace turned 5 and went to school but boy was I wrong..
My greatest Networker In The World went out with us to celebrate Daddy's birthday the other day. Since we were by the sea, we decided to take a short walk along the beach and then Mr Greatest Networker In The World decided to explore the world on his own and would only start walking when me and Daddy pretended that we were leaving...
We came across this group of people who looked like they were having a picnic and Ace promptly walked over to 'talk to people'. However, when they wanted to carry him, he refused to be carried but just kept walking around their mat and talking to them and smiling at them.The aunties all loved Ace. We decided to move on and said bye bye to them.. and the aunties waved bye bye to him as well.. Ace also started to wave but he would only wave and did not get moving until me and Daddy pretended to leave.
He followed us halfway and then the aunties shouted to him, "Bye bye handsome baby..." and then he walked back to them and 'talked' to them again in baby language. We had no choice but to carry him away in the end..
Now, children at Ace's age are suppose to only play with himself and indulge in parrellel play with other children. But Ace was happy to play with all children and would laugh excitedly or even give a shrill scream of excitement when he saw other children.
Take that day when we walked past a kindergarten school where there were lots of children.. if he had a choice, he would have grabbed everyone who walked past to play with him.. and then that day when we went to LIngzhi to celebrate Daddy's birthday, Ace had a field day playing with Oracle and Tashi who have been waiting for him to be able to play with them for a long long time.
Everytime Oracle and Tashi meet me, they will ask me:
- Where is Ace baby?
- Can he walk?
- How old is he?
- Can he play with me?
Well, i have absolutely no doubt that Ace takes after me in this aspect of enjoying fun and liking to be around people ;)
