2nd Birthday

This year, we organized a small family dinner at Pizza Hut to celebrate Aden's 2nd birthday.

I was really busy at work during that time. Ccw said he would take care of the birthday cake. I told him to just get a cake from secret recipe but he insisted to order a 3D cake. So, when I was traveling, he "cham siang" (discussed) with his little son what design they should get for the birthday cake through the google image search. Ccw told me that Aden has chosen the Thomas and Friends. I thought it was ccw's idea actually and I told him it would be boring to have the same cartoon every year. Then ccw had no choice but to pick another toy from Aden's collection. He squatted in front of the toys for about 10 minutes and finally picked the Mega Blocks Lil Tractor.



On his birthday, when Aden saw the birthday cake, he was happy. But after that he asked me: "Mummy, Aden de cake le?"
Me: "Aden de cake?"
Aden: "Neh, Thomas de ah!"
Me: "Oh, this year we dont have Thomas cake, papa choose the tractor cake for Aden. Ok?"
Aden: *Nod his head*

'x'!!!

Oh well.

Hair Cut

Before Aden turned 2, we brought him to the saloon to have a proper hair cut so that he looks handsome on his birthday.

From the previous experiences, he cried and struggled to set himself free from the barber. This time, the daddy carried him. I had to hold his head in position so that the barber can cut the hair and not hurting him.

We were looking at each other face to face. He pouted and started to sob and slowly cried out softly. Poor boy. So, I tried to distract him by talking about cars. I asked him what type of car he does not have yet and so on for example: Ambulance, Police Car, and Fire Engine. He paused but then continued crying when the barber trimmed his hair. Ccw then came out with better idea which is to get the reward from mummy after the hair cut. O_o

He was very good boy as he did not really struggled throughout the whole session. He just cried pitifully on and off.

After the hair cut, the daddy kept bugging to buy the toys for Aden. I don't know whether the dad wants the toy more or Aden. :S
