At week 96, we went to our first family vacation. Of course we survived. LOL.
Here are few of the moments I noted down during our vacation like how Nat react, respond and relay. A quick post before we hopped onto the next flight for our 2nd family vacation (and the last for Y2015). This time with the Grandparents, hopefully we have more free hands with this little boy.
1) He will starts to register strangers when he first interact with them and will keep calling out to them "aunti / unke" for their attention. ie: air stewardess and Disney shuttle coach driver
2) He nods and shyly say yes, like or want when we offer to buy him a plushy or a toy in the store. But sadly after we buy he act like one who doesn't really care about the purchase.
3) There was this incident when I left him beside the rack of key chains at Disney store while waiting for Papa to pay for the Alien plushy at the cashier. I wasn't paying much attention to him even though I was standing next to him (cos I was also doing window shopping at the racks of toys and key chains). However, this particular incident make me giggle so much I decided to pen down the whole process. As mentioned, he was placed beside a rack of key chains and he dropped a key chain while trying to turn the rack. He looked up and call this young lady standing between me and him, "aunti". For obvious reasons, she did not acknowledged his calling and he felt frustrated and called out angrily few more times before he looked down the floor, at the key chain with a disappointing look and say "drop". I believe he wants the young lady to pick up the key chain for him. After I finished with my laugh, I picked up the key chain for him.
4) He will demand to leave the place holding my hand or have Papa to push the pram (concurrently) if he doesn't want to stay any longer at the venue... and he make sure that nobody stayed behind. >_< Else, he will cry and fuss until the three of us leave the spot or shop. We were invited to do a short survey (total 40 over questionnaires - you call this short??? with a sleepy/tired toddler in tow... imagine!) on the last night at Disneyland park. He started to fuss and hold my hand signal to go halfway while Papa answered the questionnaires and I tried my best to distract and contain him. But when he saw Papa still there, he fuss again and went back to hug his thigh and demanding him to come along. Park attendant also tried to give him some stickers but it did not work. He finally stopped crying when we leave for the bus park. Well, it was a good cry because it helped him to clear his blocked nose full of muscles.
