A very belated birthday

Bboy turned two years old., ahm, like, three months ago. Here's the thing--K went back to work this past June and since then, our lives have become a series of schedules, deadlines and a lot of teeth gnashing over our schedules and deadlines. So I guess I've been a bit behind in my blogging and before I knew it, BBoy's birthday has come and gone.

But it's never too late to write about the dear little Man in my life...just look at this little face.

He has a playful, sweet smile, and a flirtatious way about him and makes me swoon with love every morning I see him. Yes, the dude knows how to work me.

He is now speaking in full sentences, and already very defiant ("No Mama, I don't want it!") but also very loving ("I wuv you, Mama!").

He loves to babble on the phone with my parents. Whenever he hears me talking with Mom and Dad in Mandarin, he would run over, yelling: "I want to hi ah-gong and Nai-Nai!" (translation: I want to say hi to Ah-gong (Mandarin for 'grandpa') and Nai-Nai (Mandarin for 'grandma')

And,did I mention that he has an obsessive love of cars and trains? Until this guy came into my life, I had no idea that our house would be bombarded by planes, trains and automobiles. Behold the exhibits.

Exhibit 1: His favorite toys.

Exhibit 2: His favorite books.

Exhibit 3: His favorite PJs.




Exhibit 4: The centerfold.

We had just bought a brand-new Mazda, and with it came a glossy magazine of, you guessed it, Mazda cars. Knowing BBoy's fondness for cars,  I gave it to him for a bit of fun reading. He slowly turned the pages, and when he hit this centerfold page he STOPPED, absolutely mesmerized. He looked up at K and I, and exclaimed: "WOW! CAR!" This made K snicker: "look at him with his Playcar centerfold."


Happy be-lated second birthday, little Man!
