Mother's Day

Frozen

Caelum woke up early again this morning. I didn't want to accept the reality and was trying to gain some more rest. He climbed everywhere on my bed and on top of my body, then he asked:

"Do you want to build a snowman?"

一起玩

假期開始，我還是讓他上幾天學。天氣轉冷，給Caelum穿了很多衣服；看過去他的朋友仔，還是短袖上陣，暗想是我們華人身子真的比較弱，抑是我們太擔心。

Caelum走去和他們一起玩play dough，他摸了一下說"warm!"，我走去摸一下，果然是暖的。原來這些play dough都是自製，質感和Play-Doh有分別，軟軟的。

看著他和別人玩我就走了，臨行時聽到他跟兩個孩子對話。

Caelum: oh Batman! (took a Batman card on the top of a pile of cards in front of the boy on his left)
Logan: it's BAT---MAN!
Caelum: why do you have Batman?
...

看來和大哥哥們相處融洽呢。

祈禱

我不知道大家認為幾多歲的小孩子才能夠自己祈禱，但最近我教Caelum做這件事情。事緣是他某天又在發脾氣，我跟他坐下時他主動說起了天父，我就順勢對他說若他不高興又不想跟媽媽說，可以祈禱跟天父說，就說：「謝謝天父，保護Caelum，錫錫Caelum，阿們。」他聽了就說是，也跟著祈禱，也明白不高興可以這樣做。

今晚洗澡時他又耍脾氣，嗚咽著突然就說要祈禱，合起雙手來。我就說好，並再教他一遍一樣的話，他也跟著說了，就沒有哭。我問他這樣是不是覺得心情好一點，他說是，我就再說下一次他不開心也可以這樣跟天父說，看可不可以幫他心情好過來。

不信的你可能覺得他懂甚麼，信的你也可能覺得這樣的禱告內容無謂，但這正正就是他需要的，所以我想這樣就很好了。

龍貓

Caelum：個媽媽病病，個姐姐攞咗個corn俾媽咪，之後坐巴士。

昨晚我外出，在家的Caelum第一次看龍貓。以上就是他給我的summary。要知道小孩子一開始看，就要繼續看，所以今天我們還是看龍貓。

從小我不特別喜歡龍貓，最喜歡天空之城，然後就是風之谷。然而今時今日三字頭再看龍貓，還要是有小孩子再看，感受大為不同，不得不讚嘆我們那一代的這些經典卡通片。

特別有感受的其一是次子告訴爸爸見到龍貓的時候，爸爸抱著開心又鼓舞的態度相信她，並說只有好孩子才看得到，又帶兩姊妹對著大橡樹跟龍貓說再見。有時看見很多家長都完全扼殺孩子的想像力，一開始就說沒可能或不要造夢，真的很可惜。

其二就是龍貓給兩姊妹一包東西作雨傘的回禮，兩姊妹回去一開是橡樹果實，非常高興，立時去把它們種了入田。現在有幾多個孩子會這樣容易滿足？是他們的錯嗎？還是父母從小沒有教要因微小的東西而喜悅？

願我們都能帶著純真。

Caelum the little actor

Crocodile

Caelum：呢個咩嚟㗎？
Me：Ya, what's that?
Caelum：Crocodile.
Me：係喎！中文呢？
Caelum：。。。（忘了）
Me：（輕聲）鱷。。。
Caelum：媽咪唔講！
Me：ok，咁你講啦！
Caelum：

「鱷豬！」

BBQ Pork Duck

Caelum：叉燒鴨！
爸爸：唔係叉燒鴨，係醜小鴨呀！

Some sort of jam...

Caelum: Chocolate jam!
Me: what chocolate jam?
Caelum: chocolate jam is stop.
Me: ... Oh ok... (keep driving)

(After a while...)

Me: Traffic jam! Not Chocolate jam!

My orange...

We Love Caelum

小甜心

熟悉我的人都知道我左邊膊頭上有一像瘀痕的胎䏯。今天Caelum幫我槌肩時看到，立刻指著並露出很痛的樣子，又發出不安的聲音。我告訴他那是不痛的，不是弄傷了，他還是不太肯定，然後彎下身來親了那胎䏯兩親。

一邊覺得好笑之餘，一邊覺得窩心。

註：附照片解釋一下實際狀況。

Cute baby is…

烏龜

Caelum有一只會投影星星的烏龜。

非常浪漫。

長大

家中的小男孩每天長大一點，愈發有自己的主見。譬如要自己走不要抱、要自己樓梯上二樓、要自己拿叉匙吃東西、要自己試穿鞋襪。。。。。。畢竟年紀尚少，只會把襪搭在腳上而已。

我曾以為我不喜歡孩子，現在又怕小子長得太快，不要媽媽了。

CAELUM

雖然都幾貴，不過還能買到完全一樣串法的實在是難得，所以小王子最後決定買回來。現在是我們用，將來才給Caelum吧。

Caelum's one year old birthday party

Yesterday was Caelum's birthday! We had a great party with more than 40 people in our new house - amazing! He was a bit sick but still a good boy. He was showing off his new walking skill and felt very happy when people clapped after his performance.

Food made by mum and Stephen was nice and cake was pretty and rich.

One year already!

My men

It was Caelum's papa's birthday yesterday. On the same day we had our child dedication ceremony for Caelum. Both of them had dressed up smart yesterday. Caelum's hair was naturally nice and smooth too. Surprise, surprise.

The two men I love.

Thank God for everything.

開心啲

開心的小朋友叫媽媽要開心。

First Mother's Day as a mother

Today is the first Mother's Day since I have become a mother.

Yesterday Nicholas bought me some flowers. He said Caelum told him to buy me flower before he fell asleep.

I hope next year Caelum would understand what is Mother's Day!
