WHO DO YOU THINK THIS LOOKS LIKE?!!
It's uncanny isn't it?
Of course, it makes it much easier to coax my little man to brush his teeth "like the Aidan in the poster!"
Teeheehee!

Lookalike!!
We picked up a free book that teaches kids how to care for their teeth, and the accompanying poster.

Jokes aside
Aidan's been learning to tell knock knock jokes lately, and I could only supply the couple that I vaguely remember. For example:
Me: KNOCK KNOCK!
Aidan: Who's there?
Me: Lettuce!
Aidan: Lettuce who??
Me: Lettuce in, it's cold outside!
Then it's his turn to tell one.
Aidan: KNOCK KNOCK!
Me: Who's there?
Aidan: TRUCK!!
Me: (ooh, that's so cute!) Truck who??
Aidan: TRUCK IN, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!!!
Hmm...methinks he's yet to get the hang of it...

Fame? Part 3
So, great news, we got picked for the new ad! We're not sure if it's gonna be a print ad or an online one, or if he'll even be featured in the final edit, but we're just really excited to be part of the experience.
The shoot takes place on Monday, and we'll have more details then. My MIL's coming along, since my in-laws arrive tomorrow morning. Yay! We're really looking forward to their visit! Woohoo...it's always great to have family around. :-)
Anyhoos, in other news, Aidan's vocabulary has been expanding daily. He greets me "Morning!" when he wakes up, before asking "Dada, where?!" then "Work!", he can name all his body parts (some even in Chinese!) says "Hi" and "Bye" (did I mention this before?). Yesterday he said "No no NO THANKS!" (hmm...firm but polite I guess!), he can also say the 3 Cs - "cookie", "cake", and "cracker", the 3 Bs - "bird", "bubbles", "bath", "phone", his own name, "Mama, Dada, IVY!" and lots more, I can't keep up! He can even recognise ring tones, and knows whether it's Mama's phone or Dada's.
There are also some words that tickle him to bits which I prefer him not to say. Like "kookoo", which Ivy and Stephen taught him. HARRUMPH! Now he keeps pointing to himself and saying it! Adorable I guess, at this age, but not so when he's like, er, 22.
He's also getting better with sitters, although times at childcare can still be teary. The other day, before I'd even finished leaving instructions with Jon, he'd already said "BYE!!" and waved me off. The same on Monday at Em's too, when I was just heading out to load the car! Cheeky little bugger!
Well, the Foos and Kienan are arriving on Monday...it's gonna be great to see the 2 boys play together again!!
Here's a photo sequence taken at a friend's wedding the past weekend, featuring the Soh boys and Faith, one of Aidan's run-around playmates. Thanks Joy for the photos and captions.
Girl: Wheee!
Boy: Just a minute...

Boy: He's MY daddy!
Boy: He's MY daddy!
Boy: Get off my dad's arm.
Girl: Eh? What did I miss?
Girl: Eh? What did I miss?

Mainly Music
We've just returned from our first session with Mainly Music, a kids music class where children learn to sing songs and play, and the adults join in too to teach them. We had a BLAST! I was actually popping in to check it out, since I'd rung beforehand and they said the 9.30am class was full, but when I came by they just ushered us in, gave us a bag of colourful instruments and another parent called us over to sit with them, and ta-daa! We were singing along!
Aidan really enjoyed it I think. At first he was just taking it all in, but he soon warmed up and started to interact with the other kids - he even started to snatch another kid's rattle during a song before I stopped him. We must learn to SHARE Aidan; not every toy belongs to you!
The class had a mixture of ages, from newborns to big kids (6, 7 year-olds) and there were parents and facilitators too. I like the fact that the facilitators looked like grandparents; I think Aidan needs exposure to mature-age adults, so he sees a bit of history to his existence (granted, they're all white people, but hey, we're all God's children eh?), especially since all our family are overseas. The programme is Christian-based I think, assuming from their value statement on their webpage and the incorporation of God in some of their songs.
The best part? Morning tea afterward, where the parents got to interact, which I thought was a great opportunity to socialise; I met another mum who just happened to walk by the venue and joined in, and we later discovered we had heaps in common. To occupy the children, they basically unloaded a HUGE bag of Duplo blocks and the kids just went crazy. Aidan had fun grabbing hold of the blocks and mouthing them, so I was glad to leave him alone. Although I did hear him whining later and had to "rescue" him; I think he'd discovered my absence and wanted to be picked up, which I did, after removing and returning the bikkie he'd snatched from another boy. We must learn to SHARE Aidan; not every biscuit belongs to you!
Overall, we had heaps of fun, and I'm really looking forward to joining again next week. They were really flexible, and just added our names to the bottom of the list, and presto, we're registered! Yay! Now we've more opportunities to get out of the house!
