Crystal was playing with Smarty on our bed.
Crystal : when we are old, i become old lady, and you become grandpa.
Smarty: grandma .. grandma .. !
Crystal : grandpa .. grandpa .. !
Smarty: grandma.. grandma .. !
Crystal : grandpa.. grandpa .. !
(*they were calling each other with loud voice*)
Grandpa: (*coming from the kitchen*) yes.. why calling me?
Crystal's daddy: they are not calling you. they are playing 'when they are old'.
G'pa & G'ma: *laugh amusedly*
another time, Smarty put on my husband work's id.
Smarty : i'm uncle, i'm 2nd uncle...
Crystal : 2nd uncle .. 2nd uncle (*calling Smarty*)
last nite, Crystal wore my watch and said, "i'm 2nd auntie... i am 2nd auntie."
here was small conversation with Crystal before bed time:
Crystal: i've brushed my teeth. owl won't peck my teeth. Owl is afraid of toothpaste smell.
Mom : yes, it's afraid of it.
Crystal: why is owl afraid of toothpaste smell?
Mom : because when it smells it, it will faint.
Crystal: (*giggle*)

Crystal is 3yr 2mo
14.5kg ....... 97cm
Mom : Crystal, you said you're gonna sleep with grandma tonite.
Crys : I'd rather sleep with mama tonite.
Mom : Didn't you say one nite with mama, one nite with grandma? last nite you slept with mama. then tonite it's grandma's turn, rite?
Crys : we change to 2 nites with mama and 2 nites with grandma. ok?
Mom : Okey .. then 2 nites with mama, means tomorrow nite you'll sleep with grandma. deal?
Crys : deal
G'pa : So, it's 2 nites with mom, 2 nites with grandma. tomoro nite don't say, 3 nites with mama, and 3 nites with grandma. it's better each one nite, much easier to remember, rite?
Crys : (*smile and no comment*)
there's owl picture on Crystal's book. dont know why, she doesnt like owl. she used to say, "owl ..heehhh.. very scary..very scary ...". she used trembling voice to say it and covered her face.
sometimes Crystal is lazy to brush teeth at nite. and most of the time i don't have much energy left to deal with her refusing to brush teeth. so sometimes i need to scare her this way: "you have eaten some marshmellow just now. if you dont brush your teeth, owl will come and peck on your teeth." this works at least for now. logical explanation about teeth will not work at this moment.
some other time, she refuses to cover her feet with blanket, while these days the weather turns cooler. logical explanation also doesnt work here. like, if your feet are not covered, you might catch a cold or bla..bla..bla... so sometimes i have to scare her like this, "if you dont want to cover your feet, let mosquito bite you. mama won't care" or "let owl come and peck your feet." okey.. this works.
on Saturday we lunched at a restaurant for Smarty's 4th bday.
after returning home, Crystal prentended calling the waitress.
"hello, Auntie. we got home already. we took taxi.
now i'm playing with mom and Angie on the bed.
Daddy is sleeping in the middle room.
i hang up the phone now. ok?"
often i think she is too dependent on me.
i always try to let her do things by herself. for example: pee, wearing pants, eating.
but often, if i am around, she will ask me to feed her, or to do something for her.
if i take her out with Angie, when seeing her classmate, she refuses to play with her. while the kid of our neighbor was pulling Crys' arm, asking her to play together. i always try to encourage her to play with other kids, but Crystal prefers to hang around with me.
maybe i should control myself not to be too playful with kids, which are too hard to resist. i always enjoy playing with kids.
another thing, if we go down stairs, Crystal only wants her mom to hold her hand, not other people. so i have to go down stairs with Angie in my arms and holding Crystal's hand at the same time. i dont want to risk her falling on the stairs. but if we go to the park, i try as much not to hold her hand, just walk beside her to make sure she is safe. if she wants me to hold her hand, instead, i encourage her to walk by herself, sometimes touch her head or back to let her know i'm still beside her (though she knows i am beside her). usually it works this way.
one nite before bed time, grandma let Crytal have yoghurt.
mom: if you have yoghurt now, then later on you will not have milk. ok?
Crys : hmmm... i dont want yoghurt. i want milk.
mom: ok .. ok .. you have the yoghurt, later on i let you drink your milk
(i thought she might forget later on).
mom: Crystal, let's brush teeth.
Crys: (*was playing*) didn't you say you will let me drink milk? you lie to me. (*still playing*)
mom: oh.. mama really forgot it, i'm sorry my dear. (*her daddy blinked at me. we couldn't help smiling behind her*)
so i prepared about 80cc milk for her.
Mom : Crystal, you said you're gonna sleep with grandma tonite.
Crys : I'd rather sleep with mama tonite.
Mom : Didn't you say one nite with mama, one nite with grandma? last nite you slept with mama. then tonite it's grandma's turn, rite?
Crys : we change to 2 nites with mama and 2 nites with grandma. ok?

mama's watch
I was washing dishes on Sunday night.
Crystal asked: "Mama, where's your watch?"
Oh my dear ... you noticed it!
I took her to the toilet and explained to her how and why I lost my watch.
I said, "An auntie took mama's watch. but mama didn't know which auntie took it. She didn't return it to mama."
She thought for a while and seriously said, "She is stupid. She has bad manner." (free translation for 她不像话)
Later on she asked me to repeat the story of how and why.
She said, "下次你不要在单位挤奶吧。你就在家里挤奶，好吧?"
She also said, "next time you buy a new watch. Ok?"
Daddy asked her, "what's price of watch should we buy for mama?"
Using her fingers to form a sign for eight, she said, "Eighty yuan."
when i got back from office this evening, she asked, "mama, have you bought a new watch?"
oh dear .. she thinks, buying a watch is just like buying some bread, candy, or fruit for her, like i often do when get back from office.
Crystal asked: "Mama, where's your watch?"

Mouse, Monday, Monster
Mouse
Dad : Crystal, where's the pointer? You must have played it.
Crys : mmm ???
Dad : this one here on my notebook, the blue one. you played it, right?
Crys : yes.
Dad : where is it?
Crys : dropped on the floor.
Dad : (*trying to look for it below computer desk, but couldn't find it*)
Dad : next time shouldn't play with it, ok? Otherwise daddy cannot use it anymore.
Crys : (*silent for few moment, and walk to the bed side*)
Crys : daddy, since the pointer is missing, you use the mouse, OK?
Dad & Mom : (*couldn't help laughing*)
Monday
Grandma: Jing-jing, what day is tomorrow?
Crys : Monday.
G'ma: who will go to work?
Crys : Mom will go to work tomorrow. Daddy will be out of town on duty.
G'ma: what about you?
Crys : I will go to day-care.
G'ma: what about grandma and grandpa?
Crys : Grandma and grandpa will stay at home, take care of Qiqi. Qiqi is little baby, she is afraid. Grandma and grandpa should take care of Qiqi.
Monster / Mao-Hou
mao = hairy, hou = monkey.
Free translated as MONSTER
Crystal has always been sleeping very late.
When she was below 1 year old, if over midnight she still hadn't slept, grandpa or grandma would meow to scare her (and also Smarty). After the meow, grandma would say, "Mao-hou is coming."
Crystal or Smarty would stop talking or playing, hid below the quilt, became silent .. slowly fell asleep. it worked for few days, then Crystal happened to say, "it's grandpa!"
We couldn't help laughing (*without her knowing*), of course we pretended it was not grandpa.
Till now, I sometimes said, the monster was on the roof, if you are still talking, it will come. (*though I know it was not right to scare a kid with such thing like monster .. ghost .. sigh .. I am not a good mom!*)
And this conversation happened before bed:
Crys : (*ready for sleep*)
Mom : (*carrying Qiqi in arms, said to Crystal ..*) Come on, dear, sleep now, ok?
Crys : You always like to say Monster. Next time you don't talk about Monster anymore. Ok?
Mom : (*feel guilty .. but couldn't help laughing*)
Mom : Ok.. Ok .. mama won't talk about Monster anymore. The monster is dead now. It won't come anymore.
Dad : Crystal, where's the pointer? You must have played it.
Crys : mmm ???
Dad : this one here on my notebook, the blue one. you played it, right?

papa main game
mom : Jing-jing, pinggang mama pegel nih. pijitin dong.
crys : (berjalan menghampiri mama yang lagi baring di tempat tidur)
mom : kamu pakai hammer plastik deh, pijitin mama.
crys : hammer di mana yah?
mom : coba mama lihat ada di kardus mainan gak.
crys : hammer di mana yah?
mom : di kamar oma kali yah. kamu coba cari di kamar oma.
crys : mama temani cari.
mom : mama capek, minta papa temani yah.
crys : papa, temani aku cari hammer. (menghampiri papanya yg lagi main game). papa, kamu ngapain sih main game terus?
dad : (ketawa dan gak enak hati jadinya). kamu minta papa ngapain?
crys : cariin hammer.
dad : (nemani Jing-jing cari ke kamar oma, tapi gak ketemu. akhirnya malah ketemu di atas tv kamar)
sejam kemudian, papa habis mandi, masuk kamar, tutup pintu, main game lagi.
mom : Jing-jing, lihat tuh, papa kamu curang .. nutup pintu kamar, takut oma opa lihat papa main game, terus marahin papa. sana gih, kamu buka pintu, biar oma opa ngelihat papa main game dan ngomelin papa main game terus.
crys : gak boleh buka pintu. nanti oma opa lihat. bisa repot.
(mom & dad ketawa.. huahahahaa...!)
dad : wah, kamu emang se-tim ama papa yah ! bagus .. bagus... hehehee... !
mom : udah papa, gak boleh main game lagi. sini .. giliran mama yang main.
crys : kamu jangan main game dong.
mom : hehehe... okeh, okeh. mama temani Jing-jing baca buku yah.
crystal emang gitu tuh... siapa aja main game dia gak masalah, tapi mamanya gak boleh main game. mesti nemeni dia. kalo mama duduk depan komputer, even bukan main game, kadang nulis email, dia langsung datang narik2in tangan mama, "mama... ayo...ayo pergi...!"
jadi kalo mau email, atau ada kerjaan kantor yang mendesak, kudu tunggu dia merem dulu. mana meremnya jam 11 malam, kadang hampir jam 12 malam baru merem. kalo udah gitu .. mama dah keburu ngantuk.

king of corn
Opa ngerebus jagung hari minggu siang. Terus kita-kita sengaja manggilin si kecil ke dapur.
oma : Jing-jing, ini bau apa ya?
crys : jagung.
oma : uuh.... tau dia!
ma : hehehe .. emang tau dia. dulu juga opa rebus jagung, dia di kamar dan nyium aroma-nya, terus langsung bilang mau makan jagung.
siang hari sebelum bobok siang, crystal lagi main puzzle ama mama di tempat tidur, sambil ngobrol2, dan papa lagi main game.
crys : aku raja jagung!
ma : oh ho, kamu raja jagung yah?
crys : iya (crystal emang paling doyan ama jagung, sekali makan bisa habis 1.5 buah)
ma : kalo koko raja apa?
crys : (*mikir*) raja jagung!
ma : bukan, koko raja tulang rawan. (kokonya paling demen makan tulang rawan)
crys : aku raja tulang rawan.
ma : lho, katanya kamu raja jagung.
crys : aku raja tulang rawan!
ma : oke deh... oke deh... ! kalo mama raja apa?
crys : (*mikir*) mama raja tomat!
(dulu kadang suka gua bilangi ke dia kalo gua suka tomat, mungkin dia ingat)
ma : kok kamu tau sih mama suka tomat?
crys : (*senyum*)
ma : kalo papa raja apa?
crys : (*mikir*) raja jagung
ma : bukan, papa raja kentang. papa kan suka makan kentang.
pa : Jing-jing, papa raja kentut.
ma : hayo lho... ntar kalo dibilangi gitu, dia akan ingat terus lho! ntar di luar, bisa2 dia nyeletuk elo raja tomat lho!
ma : kalo oma raja apa?
crys : oma raja peach.
ma : betul, oma senang makan peach.
crys : seperti monyet. (kalo di china, monyet selain pisang, dikenal demen makan peach. ingat legenda tentang 'sun wu kong' si raja monyet?)
ma : kalo opa raja apa?
crys : (*mikir*) gak tau
ma : opa raja pisang
(opanya tiap selang berapa hari sekali suka beli buah, dan pasti belinya pisang)
ma : papa raja apa yah?
crys : raja kentut.
ma : hahahahaaha... tuh kan pa ... langsung diingat ama dia!
anak kecil kalo ngomongnya banyak, kadang bikin pusing juga, apalagi biasanya lugu, polos dan apa adanya. kalo gua pipis di kamar mandi, dia suka ngikut, nangkring di bangku kecil sambil nungguin gua selesai pipis. kadang suka ngambilin tisu buat gua, kadang malah bilang, "aku yang lap buat mama."
nah, pas gua mau pipis, dia bilang gini:
crys : pantat mama ada b--u (*sensor*)
ma : eh ... ssst... kamu gak bagus ngomong gitu. gak boleh ngomong gitu di luar yah. kan malu! (*cemas* gimana kalo misal dia tiba2 nyeletuk di luaran, saat ada teman-teman atau sodara)
crys : ngomongnya di kamar aja.
ma : (*gak bisa nahan ketawa*)
masih seputar pantat.
kehamilan kedua ini, keputihanku agak banyak. mungkin kecapekan oleh kerjaan di kantor yang makin banyak atau mungkin juga karena sekarang lagi summer, gerah banget. beberapa kali pakai panty-liner, mungkin karena gerah, malah jadi agak alergi.
terus gua ngomong ke papanya kalo gua lagi alergi. terus papanya ambilin salep buat gua.
kali lain, pas dia lihat box kecil obat salep yang papanya berikan ke gua, dia bilang gini, "obat pantatnya mama."
(*huaduuuh .... ! puyeng deh!)
oma : Jing-jing, ini bau apa ya?

telling the time
Crystal is 1 year 10 months 11 days
this few days, everytime during dinner, i ask Crystal what time it is. she will look at the clock and say, half pass seven. yes, most of the time, we dine around 7.30pm.
i think she has learnt that 7.30 is dinner time.
yesterday, on 7.15 i ask her:
mom : Jing-jing, look at the clock, what time is it now ?
Crys : 7 o'clock.
mom : it's 7.15
1 minute later:
mom : Jing-jing, what time is it?
Crys : 7.15 (daddy and grandma heard it and laughed)
on 7.30, i asked her again
mom : Jing-jing, look at the clock, what time is it now?
Crys : 6 pass 7.
mom : no. it's 7.30 . 6 means half.
Crys : 6 pass 7
mom: no. it's half pass seven
Crys : half pass seven
after 10pm
mom : Jing-jing, what time is it now?
Crys : 3 pass 10
mom : no. it's 15 pass 10.
Crys : 15 pass 10.
another 15 minutes went by.
mom : Jing-jing, look at the clock, what time is it now?
Crys : 6 pass 10
mom : no. it's half pass 10.
Crys : (playing with our new TV carton box) half pass 10... it's already time to sleep.
(mom, dad & grandma laughed)
while she was around 4 months old, i often asked her, "what time is it now?" she would find and look at the clock in our living room. she started to differ the numbers 0-9 when she was around 14 months. she learnt from the playing mattress, which is quite popular in china.

got angry with mama
while playing on the bed after dinner, Crystal scratched mama's face with a plastic part of a pen. Mama didn't let her. She got angry and insisted. so mama beat her hand coz she kept insisting. after that she cried.
daddy came and said that he would take her out for a walk. she stopped crying. and said to daddy, "don't play with mama. play with daddy."
hahaha... made daddy and mama laughing.
few hours later, when it's about bed time, again similar thing happened on the bed.
Crystal got angry again.
Crys : Beat mama..beat mama.. Mama .. go to work!
Dad : (work on the computer, laughing)
G'ma: (just come in, hear it and laughing too)
Mom: OK, mama goes to work. Mama doesn't want Jing-jing anymore.
Crys : Jing-jing goes to work.
Mom : Hey ... didnt you ask mama to go to work just now ?
Crys : Jing-jing goes to work.
Mom: Mama goes to work, mama doesnt want Jing-jing anymore.
Crys : want Jing-jing.
Mom: dont want Jing-jing
Crys : eeh.. want Jing-jing, mama dont go to work.
Mom: (smiling) Ok, want Jing-jing. come here and hug mama.
yesterday evening, Crystal was playing with daddy's drawer key.
Grandpa said with hard tone, "dont play with it. gun-dan!"
Crystal cried bcoz of that.
during dinner, when we talked about this, Crystal also joined the conversation:
Crys : Jingjing went to grandma grandpa's bedroom.
Mom: oh.. what did you get ?
Crys: Got a key
Mom: what did Grandpa say to you?
Crys: gun dan
(everybody laughed)
Mom: and what did you do? did you cry? how did you cry?
Crys : eeh...eeh...
Dad : Jingjing, here is what gun-dan means ... (daddy got an egg and rolled it on the table)
gun = rolling
dan = egg
gun dan = go out (Chinese colloquial)
daddy came and said that he would take her out for a walk. she stopped crying. and said to daddy, "don't play with mama. play with daddy."

because .. again .. puzzles ..
BECAUSE
Crystal can use "because" to answer a "why" question.
Mama: Jingjing, do you love mama?
Crys : love mama
Mama: why do you love mama?
Crys : Because Jingjing wants to get down.
Mama: hah .. what relation it has with you love mama?!
Crys : (thinking..) because mama is nice.
Mama: Of course mama is nice, because mama loves you. (kiss.. smack..smack..)
AGAIN
Crystal always loves to play with spoon. Mama's feeding Crystal with her lunch. She said one word that I never expected she could say it, which is "again"; like this: "spoon .. give to Jingjing. Mama take one again" (pointing at the kitchen cabinet).
PLAYING 11pcs PUZZLES
Crys : cannot match
Mama : change another piece
Crys : (take another piece) cannot match
Mama : take this one
Crys : cannot match
Mama : turn it another way
Crys : can match now
and when she finishes the puzzles, she will say, "yeah..." and holding up her hands. (this was taught by her grandpa)

Dad : Eiih... yes, daddy's computer.
Mom: (hiding behind daddy's back and
grabbing watch and glasses on the shelf)
Crys: Mama is here (saw mama already)
Mom: (couldn't help laughing) Mama will go to work
Crys: wuaaah.... wuaah.... (started to cry and crawled up)
G'pa: Mama will go to work.
Crys: Mama won't go to work. Grandpa goes to work (still crying)
Mom: (having breakfast, washing teeth)
Dad : Mama will go to work and earn some money
for buying milk and buying candy for Crystal.
G'pa: Grandpa goes to work. Mama doesn't go to work.
Crys: Eeeeh... mama goes to work. (stopped crying)
G'pa: Mama doesn't go to work.
Crys: Mama goes to work!
Dad : Why does mama go to work?
Crys: To earn money.
Dad : Money for buying what?
Crys: buying candy
Crys: Daddy's computer (pointing at the PC)

if we want her do something, which she refuses and has her "no..no..NOOO..", we will say the contrary. for example she refuses to eat, we say, "we don't let Crystal eat". she will open her mouth. sometimes it doesn't work anyway !
