WINTER ARRIVAL

Today dandan came over for winter arrival lunch. Even i need to prepare the lunch, but after started cooking the soup, i went out to the balcony for make snowman with cece! Cece really did help me to add the snow when making the snowman and the "square" next to snowman is 100% made by cece.

Since dandan was here, so cece didn't take his nap and fall into sleep at 8pm already. B4 he was sleeping, we 3 were watching I & Marley together. Is good that cece slept after the first half...as after me and marco cried super alot! I think if cece were watching with us, he will be shocked why mammy and papi keep crying!

Yesterday forgot to write that i have called the wong sheung wong restaurant for book the table on 26th. At first i just planned to talk italiano for book the table, however when they answer the phone, the girl said "wei", so i "wei" back...she was talking with me in chinese, but i was responing in italiano plus "my chinese"...so after a while, she said i don't understand your cantonese (ha....she knew i was talking cantonese style chinese?), and will pass to someone who can talk cantonese. Wow...so great! I was booking the table with cantonese and used my surname for book the table too, so HK feel!

FAMILY NEW HAIR CUT

This morning we 3 went for hair cut together. Is 82 months me and marco married.
There are some "natural alarm" near home....e.g when cece called me during his sleep, i was laying down in his bed with him and i heard the train passing by...so i immediatly think, oh, not bad, seems now is just around 6am in the morning, which means that cece has been sleeping over 6 hours without wake up, not bad. yearssss ago, i used to wake up by the church bell outside.

CONTROL my EQ PLEASE

I think i really need to control my EQ in front of cece, everytime after i scold him loud, i do feel bad. I don't want to become the woman upstairs! B4 cece born, i always hear the woman upstairs scolding her kids and i always told myself that i can't be like that in the future! In my memory, my mom never punched us and rarely scold us too... (maybe sometimes keep quiet but not scolding is more terrible too...haha)...I just don't want cece will copy me and scold people loud one day. And sometimes when cece beat me with his little hands, i will beat his hands back, Marco don't support i do so...as he thinks we should not teach cece fighting with each other for solve the problem. I also agree and i don't want to beat him too, but just sometimes i can't control myself. I really need to pray for higher EQ.

There was a night, i took long time for put cece sleep, he keep moving in his bed, want this, want that. Then i told him, mammy is going to on fire! And know what is his response? He acted like fireman and trying to stop the fire with water (sure not real water, but is what he was pretending to do at that moment). I really did laugh out. He just too funny. Everytime seeing him sleep like an angel, i will ask myself how i was so cruel that can scold him so loud b4. My first target in 2010 is, have higher EQ and be a gentle mom. Teach with love.

He didn't took want to take nap today but he was really trouble like suddenly want this then that then that, and i know is because he was sleepy, so i told him i am going to sleep, so we sleep together! Just hope tonight won't need too much time for put him in bed.

Since now mom no need to take care of serena, we call mom quite often (not only once a week like b4) and yesterday when cece woke up, he asked me to call por por too...and this morning i asked if he wants to call, he told yes and we will call again tomorrow too, so good.

9 to 9

Since last friday, cece didn't take nap in the afternoon and today is already the 4th day! After back from the holiday, cece slept alot during the day time (maybe also because of the medicine he took), which make him sleep late at night, it was like he went to back after 11pm (sometimes can even be after mid night), then woke up around 10am the other day and then still can sleep 3, 4 hours in the afternoon. So last friday, since around 330pm he still not taking nap, i was trying to keep him awake so hope he can sleep earlier that night (as i was really tired spending so long time making him sleep). So friday night, he went to bed b4 9pm. And from that day, his schedule became 9am to 9pm and no nap in the afternoon!! I am wondering if is true that he really quit the nap which also mean i have no more free time during the day!!!!!!! (even i know soon or later will arrive that day, but is abit sudden)

The good points of cece not take nap is he can really sleep in few mins after closed the night (ok, still with mammy milk). And we can also have more time playing together during the day (actually this point can be good or bad too). The bad points is Marco will have less time with cesare and i don't have free time for online in the afternoon. Sure i can still online after 9pm (like now), but no more chatting with people in HK la (ok, i mean no more chatting with Paul, the only one chat with me).

Anyway, will see some more days and see if this is really our new schedule.

AFTER the TRIP

The day after back from the trip (fri), cece started to have fever, and because of strange cough during the night on sunday night (monday mid night), we went to ER with him. Then marco also started coughing and i also got a running nose today. This is family!
And me and cece is home alone from today till Monday afternoon. Don't want to write much but want to write down something funny.

It was last sat (Nov 14) when Marco playing ps3 in the bedroom while Cece accompany me playing puzzle in the sitting room. Then cece found out an old joystick of playstation and said he wants to play too. And we have the following conversation:

Cece: 車邪玩 (holding the joystick in hand)
Mammy: Mammy唔識喎﹐你去問爸爸 (the truth is to send him away...so i can keep playing puzzle)
cece went into the bedroom holding the joystick.....

Cece: Non si puo' (唔得)
Papi: ................................(i couldn't hear what papi said to cece)

cece walked back to the sitting room....

Mammy: 爸爸講咩嘢呀﹖
Cece: 爸爸講英文。

where we went for holiday is near germany (even is still in italy), and people there talk more german than italian. So when cece heard people talking dutch, he will tells 講英文.

ENJOY the EVENING ALONE

Tonight Marco went to play go kart after work and cece just sleeping at 7:43pm (the time i back to my room), so both me and Marco can enjoy our evening. The feeling of listening to HK night radio while surfing the internet in the dark room (no light on but only pc light) is good. I think if i need to play with cece alone tonight while Marco went to play maybe i will feel less enjoy. Cece is so good went to bed so early is only because he didn't take nap today. He (we) woke up at 10am this morning and i just knew he got a big chance won't take nap in the afternoon, so i have prepared dinner earlier so can put him to sleep early.

In the past few nights, cece really went to bed late, most of the time when i get back to my own room, is already near mid night. He is not willing to sleep till around 1030pm then after still need to turn around around in the bed for over an hour. And he don't let me go down from his bed b4 he sleeping. Yes, he still need mammy milk for sleep and need me accompany him in his bed till he fall asleep. He still calls me at least one time during the sleep, so i go to accompany him again and sometimes i also fall asleep in his bed and make me feel painful sleeping in such a small bed when i woke up. I won't sleep till the other morning but sometimes can sleep like 2 hours there. And sometimes when i try to back to my room, cece will ask me to lay down and stay there...then i will tell him i need to go to toilet and he will tell he wait for me...but sure he will just continues sleep once i left. Since he went to bed so late, alot of time when i back to our room, Marco just sleeping already. The saying talking about after being a mom, "there are alot of moments you will feel lonely, but you are never alone" is so real.

SMELL of BIRTHDAY

Last night Marco has told me the "surprise" of where we are going for birthday, i just can't wait! Marco chosen to tell me instead of wait till i see it with my eyes is because he thinks maybe i need to prepare something for bring there. I asked if the place we are going will have something suitable for cesare, and Marco said, "more than something". We are going here
When i opened that page, i keep wa wa wa......i feel is like we are going to a palace! Thank you soooo much Marco, we really need a relaxing holiday.

Then this morning, i went to the park near the swimming pool with cece. Since today is friday and marco won't be back for lunch, so i no need to rush back for make lunch. We left home at 10 and back home at 1230. After playground time, i got a present for myself!!

When we saw it on the way to the playground, i already want to buy....but then i think i better think clear...then on our way home, was cece told go to buy the bag, yes, i didn't lie, he did remember i told after played we can buy. And i have asked cece's opition, he also said the bag is nice, hehee. Since the shop selling this bag is a toy shop, so i let Cece pick a toy too. He can't choose between the plastic horse or sheep, so he took both to pay and told the lady in the shop that he wants both. I did buy him both (actually i only sign a name, is paid by papi anyway, haha). I think is not bad to get both so they won't be alone and can chat to each other. I have asked myself if i really still so "childish" to use a monkey bag? But i guess marco will be more happy i use a monkey one instead of a Louis Vuitton.

CATS

Just back from seeing musical show, Cats! I love to see musical sooooo much and so glad that they have a show in brescia. The theater Palabrescia is just few mins' walk from our home. All the songs tonight are in italiano. Their voice are so great! We got the seat on the first row and we have cece sitting on our lap. He also enjoyed the show and clap everytime people clap too. In the past few days, i keep playing the cd of Cats at home, so cece also familiar with the melody of the music.

On my last bday, Marco got me the Cats DVD and last month, he showed me one envolope (saying is the present for we knew for 8 years) and inside the envolope has alot of tickets. He got tickets for some shows from Oct to March. Since i didn't know Cats is showing in brescia, so it was a great surprised! We all enjoyed alot. Next show will be in Dec.
