Grand Day IN

I have always described our outings with Ace as a GRAND DAY OUT.

The other day, Ace had a grand day in-side the house all thanks to Kingsley!;)

Kingsley has always talked about getting Ace a present and last christmas, he finally did get a Barney backpack for Ace.. but he kept it at his place for so long tat when we finally got it, it was after CNY already..

Anyway, we brought it home last at night after a supper session with Kingsley. So I kept it in the cupboard...

The next morning when Ace woke up, I asked him, "Ace, do you want a present?"

"Present!" his eyes brightened up immediately.

When I passed him the bag, he was sooooooooooooooo happy.



"Barney! BJ! Baby Bop!" He started to name all the characters on the bag...

And then he proceeded to spend the next one whole day playing with the bag.

"Help me!" he said and asked me to help him put the straps around his shoulders.

And then, he proceeded to go to our white IKEA stool. "Dhiit!" he pressed on the stool and pretended that the stool was Daddy's car and that he was unlocking the car.

Then he would sit inside the car and say, "Driving!" And then act as if his hands were on the steering wheel. Then he will walk over and pull me to sit beside him.

"Where are we going, Ace?" I asked him.

"Errrr.... teacher ivy" and then when we reached the suggested 'destination' he would get off the car, 'dhiit' (lock) the car and then pretend that he is at whereever he is supposed to be and do some actions that he do there. Eg, when he was at 'teacher ivy' (He refers to his shichida classes as Teacher Ivy), he would sit down and watch flashcards.

And then it was really a grand day IN-house because within a short two hours, we went to school, to the zoo, shopping, to the playground, to Popo's school, to have dinner.. etc... It was almost as if he recounted all his daily adventures within the last two years within 2 hours.

Sometimes he will revisit a place and he might even like go home, pretend to bath, and then pretend to sleep.. and pretend to wake the next day, bath and go out again..

It was hilarious I tell you!

And he is very particular about his adventures. If you sat down on his side of the car, he would tell you, "No, you zuo na bian!" (You sit over there) and if you pretended to drive like him, he will say, "Nooo... Ace drive!"

When Daddy came home, I told Daddy all about it and so Daddy entertained him by going places with him. Just to disturb him a little, Daddy started singing loudly when sitting in the 'car' like Ace usually does when the two of them go out together.

"Shhh... " Ace turned and put his fingers on his lips. "I am driving.." He told Daddy...

We laughed till our stomachs were in pain cos that is what Daddy always does when Ace sings loudly in the car.... HAHAHAHAHA!
