I should've known it was going to be one of those days. It started off with a phone call saying that the sitter was watching a kid with a very high fever. One thing after another happened, and then I get a phone call.
The preschool no longer wants our precious little boy to go to their school anymore. They said he was too young (immature, I guess).... Aside from my need for someone to watch Dude so I can work, my heart just broke at the thought of how they never even really gave him a chance to show what he's really like: a bright, intelligent, happy, funny little toddler.
Poor Dude - and how he loved the idea of school too!

Dreams...
Dude was hilarious. He ended up sleeping in our bed last night. But he kept waking up all night, saying, "Isaac!!" (as in Isaac Wardle), and "triangle!" Not sure how the two are related... maybe just two of his favourite things?! :)
This morning, he was eating his breakfast and Kris rolled up his sleeves. He was REALLY mad about that. Kris went back to doing something, and it got quiet. Next thing he heard was a sudden yell, "I DID IT!" Turns out Dude had pulled down both his sleeves. Proud moment.

Counting
Little Dude started counting today: 1... 3... 7... 4... 7
He apparently dislikes the number 2 in English, Cantonese and Mandarin. He refuses to say it. Maybe because he knows he's turning two soon and doesn't want to get older? :)
He loves swinging Téa in that baby swing. He just loves her and she adores him.
Today, we went to Taisuco to play in their indoor playground. Taiwan is great for the free places to play! We went, of course, with Dude's other "siblings": the Choi boys. But he wouldn't go down the slide cause it went too fast.

Growing Up
Suddenly my little baby is... a little boy.
On Sunday, I bought him a little Ikea potty, and he sat on it for the first time. Then yesterday, at Angela's house, he sat on the big toilet for the first time. I'm sure he'll love me posting this later on, but it marks such a momentous occasion, a passage of rites.
On Monday, the Choi boys and the three of us went to the Sugar Refinery. Téa sat in her stroller, while Kaeden walked all by himself with his little buddies. He looked so big!! We had a blast there.
