Little Shi Xu has high potential of leadership . He demostrated his leadership since he was 16.5 months old . When he was 16.5 months old , his ex nanny almost lost her conscious at home , he immediately took out the first aid box and pass to the people who came to her house by coincidence and he also know to use handkerchief to wipe off the cold sweat on nanny's face .I was so impressed he can actually take the tense situation calmly in such a young age !!
When he came to 22 months old , he started his school life in Cherie Heart . After 3 weeks of his school life , He has grown to be more independent , intelligent and confident . He can take care of himself at school and he even will help to comfort the crying playmates in school .
When he turned to 23 months ,i guess he is that one who are leading the playmates to sing national song during the daily assembly time . Why i say so ? because i actually "witness" his leadership at home .That has one weekend, when we were watching the TV ,Shi Xu suddently speak out loudly "ATTENTION!!" , when i was alerted and looked at him , he was standing straightly and started singing Singapore National Song "Majulah Singapore ..." He made me burst into laugh !
When come to the end of our meal time ,he will say" everybody clean up ! clean up! "and then he will start helping us to clean up the mess as well . Same to the toys mess , he will say "keep the toys! " .Sometimes i just find that he is talking in tone of leadership.
I'm so glad to be able to witness his amazing development and he always bring a lot of fun and laugh to our family .

Every year come to his birthday celebration , I have been racking my brains
, what presents to get , what kind of cakes for my little one and always trying to figure out where and how to celebrate his birthday .
Last year we held a Mac Donald party and went to cruise ship for his first birthday .This year , i planned to have a tour during his birthday . My initial plan was bring him to Hong Kong Disneyland , however the plan have to be on hold due to the H1N1 outbreak .
Last year we had celebrated twice for his birthday (MAc donald & cruise ) , this year we even celebrated 3 times!He celebrated with his cousins at grandmother house (16.7.2009) , with his peers at school (17.7.2009) , and lastly celebrated with his lovely parents at Singapore Zoo (19.7.2009)
Shi Xu was miss his animal friends. In the early morning , he told me "I want otter" ,"elephant " .I admit, i could not resist his request ,so let's go the zoo again !(we had planned to bring him there also even if he did not request ) . However this time we mainly for elephant show only.
aaaaaaaaaaaaElephant courtyard ,Shi Xu was so excited , he was going to see elephant showAs today was weekdays , zoo member can enjoy free ride of tram , we just simply hop onto a tram to rest our soles and explore the park.Shi Xu enjoy the tram very much .He was happy riding on "joo joo train "

I brought out his biggest presents when he openned all of his presents .he gave me a "WOW ! " and shock expressions when he saw it . Yes , this is his favorite Thomas & friends set !!He had so much delight and excitement in playing with his Thomas . ( In fact daddy even more excited than him, keep him busy with making up the tracks for Thomas/Shi Xu? )

This is photo for membership,and this was the only photo with 3 of us at zoo .I was always the one behind the camera to snap picture of my 2 masters .We get to enjoy nice weather at the zoo .Shi Xu love animals .he likes to say "hi " to all the animals he saw ."hi zebra" ,"hi giraffe " , "hi hippo " ,"hi gorrila","hi elehpant" ....and everytime when we move to other station , he will wave goodbye to his animal friends ."bye tiger ","bye lion","bye polar bear ","bye otter"..... He even sang animal songs .

I have brought Shi Xu birthday cake to his school . Teacher michelle had allocated a 30mins time slot for his small birthday celebration .Shi Xu was so surprise to see me appear at his school at that time . He was so excited to introduce his playmates to me .
When the cakes sat on the center of the table ,all the kids were so excited ,the cake really look great . Shi Xu couldn't wait to sing his birthday song again .
After the birthday song and all the oooh-and-aaah were over, it’s time to taste the cake and gave the small gifts to his "guest " . Shi Xu generously gave the gift to his friends and everyone was so happy with the delicous cake and gifts .....

3 days before Shi Xu birthday(16.7.2009) , Barry(my 2nd brother in law ) baked a nice chocolate cake for Shi Xu birthday and we had a small celebration with Shi Xu "gor gorS" (cousins) , grandma ,aunty ,ex nanny and uncle .Shi Xu was happy when he saw the birthday cake.He couldn't wait to touch on the birthday and of course sing his favourite birthday song for himself ,blow out the candles...
He even ate a big slice of his birthday cake !!
aaaaaaaaaShi Xu was eating his birthday cake ,look at his mouth , sooo dirty ..but adorable ...
How time flies ,little Shi Xu is turning 2 years old .When he was 22~23 months , he used to take out my small round and flat pan ,put on the table as his birthday cake ,and sang the birthday song for himself .He pretty enjoy to do that .
Birthday cake , candles with birthday song , think this is what he dream for his birthday .And birthday cake ,with beautiful candles glowing on top, it is always the center of attraction in a birthday party .Hence ,when his birthday was approaching , i was pretty busy sourcing for his birthday cake . Hope can give him a cake which has a theme or his favourite cartoon character .
Finally i settle on car theme , he definately will like it as he pretty much love carSS .
ffffffffffffffffffffShi Xu car theme birthday cake from E-creative for his 2nd year birthday .
Little Shi Xu has changed .Recently he always throw his tantrum by throwing away his toys or whatever on his hand ! He hit me , hit daddy , hit whoever is carrying him when we say "no!" to him . When he throw his tantrum, he will purposely do something to displeasure us (sucking his finger which we always dont allow him to do so )
I am not that kind of patient person ,i admit .Everytime when he throw his tantrum, he drives me up the wall over and over again. I lost my calmness and feel clueless and i had shouted at him for few time (*sob sob * ) . Nevertheles , everytime i tried to calm down myself and tell him in calm that he can not hit mummy and daddy or anyone as we will feel pain and it is not right to do so.
I think BEST way is distraction . I have an experience in recently night .
When we were on our home way , Shi Xu become grouchy and cranky in the car as he did not have his pacifier to suck on ( he used to suck on his pacifier when he aboard car ) .It is a MUST-HAVE when we go out .However due to childcare teacher careless , his pacifer left in childcare .
After a long time he making noise , finally i come out with a good idea to DISTRACT him .
Shi Xu very like to enjoy the breeze blow on his face , so i ask daddy wind down the window whenever he ask for pacifier .So it come with this case , when he said "Dudu! " , the window "automacally"wind down ( of course it was controlled by daddy on driver seat :P ) . So whenever he said "Dudu! " , the window will wind down and the breeze blow on his face . He feel so magic and stop making noise ! Guess wat ? He keep saying "Dudu! " so that the window wind down and wind up again and again . And daddy try to wind down different side of window , so he keep playing to say "dudu! " and see which window is opened . Funny right ? but it works ! He stopped throwing tantrum . Hurray ! and we drove home "peacefully " .

When it comes to sing , Shi Xu can be very enjoyable .He like to sing with or without music whevener he is in good mood . He always sing along these song "anytime ,any where " and dance for joy .
This is his favourite song list ->"拔萝卜“，” 握紧拳头“，“造飞机“，”小星星“，“生日快乐“， “蝴蝶“,"两只老虎“，“我的朋友在那里“ ，“london bridge ","The wheel on the bus " , "happy birthday " ," twinke twinkle little star " ,"ABC song ","Oh Mac Donald farm " ,"little teapot " , "incy wincy spider , " head,shoulder ,knee and toes " , and many many more ! (he is a little pop star in our family now :P)
For instance , when he sing twinkle twinkle little star, he mix with manderin and english (previously he could sing the song mainly in english , however after i had taught him in manderin for the same song , he come with funny idea to mix them up ) .
He sing " 一闪一闪亮晶晶“。。。"up above the world so high " , or come with another creative song like " twinkle twinkle 亮晶晶 ". Sometimes he even change the lyrics according to his interest , like he sing "两只老虎,两只老虎,一定没有跑得快,一定没有跑得快...".haha...What my creative boy !
It always be an uphill task for me to take a video for him whenever he sing song or has some funny and interesting movement.It is such a huge challenge to get him to sit still to let me take photo or video , think i should install a web camera at home so that i can video down all his amazing development,isn't it a good idea ?
Today i was pretty lucky , i was able to video my little Shi Xu when he was singing , he was enjoy to sing “我的朋友在那里“ and i quickly took out my camera to video him , he only came to snatch the camera from me when he finished his whole song . Hurray ! i got his video finally !
