Mama, are you going to tell your papa when I'm kecut (smelling sour)?
Mama likes to kiss Tio and then tell papa when Tio's smelling a little bit from sweating so papa can come and kiss Tio too. Then suddenly today after he took a bath after a long day under the sun he asked mama "Mama are you going to tell your papa when I'm kecut?"
Breastfeeding and thumbsucking
In the last week of Dec 2009 Tio weaned mama. Since we came back from Indonesia on early October, Tio nenen 2x a day max. When papa returned from Laos on 25 Dec he did not ask for it before he went to sleep. Then in the morning he forgot about it upon seeing the Christmas gifts on his bed. That night he did not ask for it either.
But after that day, he sometimes asked for it after he wakes up in the morning, and later, before going to sleep at night or any other times. But I only give him in the morning. We've only been telling him that he's a big boy, he can do many things and can eat many different kinds of food. And breastmilk is for baby who cannot eat anything else. He likes drinking low-fat plain milk now instead (he liked flavoured milk, but after we gave him low-fat milk he prefers it than any other).
Since last month he did not suck his thumb anymore. In the last several months he limited his thumb sucking only before he went to sleep. But it's still a wonder he can go cold turkey. We had been a bit worried that he could not give it up (his much-sucked thumb was swollen and we'd been worried about his teeth). When he was smaller we tried to wrap his thumb with handkerchief but failed coz he could easily take it off. Then we've only been telling him that thumb sucking will make his thumb swell bigger and his teeth will look like rabbit's. Then he just stopped. Excellent job, Tio!
Backpack - going to school - toys for everyone
11 Jan was the start of the new semester for students of AIT Community School. That morning Tio asked about his friends whereabouts and mama told him that they were going to school. Then he saw one of his friend on his way to school, carrying his backpack. That afternoon Tio filled his backpack with toys, put it on his back, not allowing mama to help, and looked for his tricycle. He looked so smug after he put on his backpack by himself :D. He said he was going to school and bringing toys for everyone so everyone can play.
Now about sharing. He shares with children he knows well. But he is so petty with those strangers he meets at the shopping mall. But we keep on telling him to share. And he does not want to talk or play with adults he's never or rarely seen. Now this is normal for kids his age (and even older kids sometimes do), but I know sometimes people don't understand.
Clicking camera and computer
He can already click and take picture with the pocket camera and cell phone camera, though they were not correctly taken yet. He can move the cursor and click the computer mouse. So he can play simple games on fisher-price website, bob the builder website, he can click the movie files he wants to watch.
Sleeping
His sleeping pattern:
07.00 wake up (varies from 06.00 - 08.30)
14.00 nap time (or can be as late as 17.00)
16.00 wake up (or can be as late as 19.00)
23.00 sleep (sometimes can stretch to 23.30)
Toilet training
Tio can tell when he wants to pee. He can already take his pants down. But for poo poo he still doesn't want to use his potty. He asked me to put him on diaper when he wants to poo. We're thinking of giving him reward everytime he uses the potty.

Tio at 31 m
Tio's stretching/ yawning/ burping/ lying on the floor like Papa
Papa likes to stretch when he wakes up in the morning. He likes to lie down on the floor when he's drawing for Tio or watching movie.
Tio likes to copy him.
Mama: Tio, you're stretching like whom?
Tio: Like you, papa :D
Can we return the racing car to Santa?
We bought him a racing car which can be dis-assembled using a battery-powered drill. When mama and Tio went to the mall alone before Christmas, mama wanted to know if Tio liked it so when mama saw one at the shop, mama asked him if he liked it. He said he wanted it. Mama asked Tio to tell Santa that he wanted a racing car.
At first he was so happy when opening his present and playing with it. But then he saw the pictures in the box and he found out that the same toys are available in other forms like cement mixer, train, dump truck. Then he wanted the cement mixer. Papa told him that he can get it another time, because Santa has given him the racing car. Then Tio said "Can we return the racing car to Santa so I can get the cement mixer?"
Because the egg is in the computer
Tio just saw a grapple truck grabbing an egg at youtube. Then Tio pretended to be a grapple truck. Mama: Tio, can you grab an egg
Tio: I cannot
Mama: Why?
Tio: Because the egg is in the computer
What happened, ma?
Tio used to call "Mama" but suddenly he changed to only "Ma" :D Mama loves to hear him saying it.
Everytime he heard a sound, like someone hammering, drilling, etc. he would ask "What happened, Ma?"
What are you talking about mama papa?
Some time ago, he liked to tell papa mama to stop talking when papa and mama were discussing something. But then now he likes to ask "what are you talking about mama papa?" everytime mama and papa talk between themselves :D
Where is London? How can we go there? Where's the aeroplane? Where's the airport? Where's Bang Na? Where's the car? Where's AIT?
Mama (reading): Pongo and Perdita lived in a small house in London
Tio: Where's London?
Mama: It's far from here
Tio: How can we go there?
Mama: We can ride an aeroplane
Tio: Where's the aeroplane?
Mama: It's at the airport
Tio: Where's the airport?
Mama: It's in Bang Na
Tio: Where's Bang Na?
Mama: It's rather far from here
Tio: How can we go there?
Mama: by car
Tio: Where's the car?
Mama: It's outside AIT, we have to call 6300
Tio: Where's AIT?
Mama: Here, where you live
Luckily, the questions ended here :D but this is what happens when mama or papa read him a book :) so one page can take several minutes to read or maybe even we did not move to another page because after one page he would go play with something else
Baby cat - baby mouse - baby worm - baby dog
Tio: "Mama, I'm a baby worm and you're mama worm"
Mama: "OK" --- It's the first time I didn't mind someone calling me worm :D
Several minutes later
Mama: "Tio, do you want to drink your milk?"
Tio: "I'm not Tio, I'm just baby worm"
At other times it can be baby mouse, baby jaguar, baby dog, baby butterfly,.... the possibility is endless :D
I don't hear
When Tio is busy doing something and mama asked him to stop for a while to drink etc., sometimes mama has to tell him many times. Sometimes he would say "I don't hear" :D Maybe he thinks that if he didn't hear he did not have to follow what mama said :D
Biking
Tio likes riding his tricycle inside the house. He has a bigger bicycle, given by a kind friend of ours but we kept it for use on the 3rd floor where our dorm is, and the tires were flat at that time. So several days ago he rode on his friend's bicycle which was parked on the ground floor. He loved it so much he asked to ride on it again (after asking permission from the owner :D). So papa brought Tio's bicycle to the repair shop and it was good again. After that, there was no stopping him. He rode the bike in the morning to papa's office to see papa off. He rode it again in the afternoon to pick papa up. He rode it to the sand box. And all the while mama had to run to keep him from tumbling when he met bumpy road, or going down the speed breakers (which are built rather too high here) or to keep him from moving across the lanes.
And today, he for sure asked to ride the bike by himself going to Sunday School, going home then again when we had a picnic with my dear colleagues and friends in the afternoon. He loves it so much :) and it made me realize what a big boy he is now, a growing boy who is trying to be independent. Sometimes when riding his bicycle or at the shopping mall he asked me not to follow him. Sorry dear, but in this kind of world we live in, I don't think I can do that yet.
The racing car can help
Today at the Sunday School, the teacher in charge, Tita Maybel told a story about the lost sheep, how the shepherd had to look for the lost sheep. Then Tio, holding his little red racing car, said loudly "the racing car can help" :D
I give you a car
So after he put the racing car in the spotlight, a 4 y.o. boy beside him asked mama if he could borrow it. But Tio did not want to share. After some persuasion, Tio let him took a look at the racing car.
Sometime later, he saw another friend, a pretty little girl, and he handed her the car, saying proudly "I give you a car"... Apparently the girl does not like cars, so she gave it back to him after several seconds :D then after sometime Tio gave it to her again and again. A boy who never give up :D

Vaksin Hep A - 30 m
Tio kemaren vaksin Hep A (brand: Havrix), intramuskular, lengan atas kiri
Spt biasa di RS rebutan mainan rumah2an ama anak lain, nangis pas mau ktemu dokter, padahal di rumah katanya minta ke hospital ketemu auntie dokter.
Pas mau ketemu suster n divaksin pas nangis krn rebutan mainan jg, jd makin kejer nangisnya. Dikasih botol minum baru (hadiah dari vaksin) tetep gak mau. Pas disuntik langsung diem, kaget kali ya. Tp trus nangis lagi.
Baru diem setelah dikasih chocolate cookies n iced chocolate beli di cafe Mezzo di lantai bawah RS nya.
Pulang gpp. Tp hari ini kok merah2 biduran dan malam ini jadi ky rash. Tp memang beberapa hari kemaren Tio udah biduran. Bingung jg ini efek vaksin, efek cookies Mezzo (tp ky nya dulu gpp) atau apa

Tio at 30 m
He's more talkative, more playful and more imaginative
He does not wake up crying mid-sleep anymore
He can count correctly since last month (29m), before that he counted "one.. two.. three... four... five... two coins" or he counted the same item twice or more. He can count and show with his fingers :)
Mama's cookies are the best
So he asked for mama's "choc chips and corn flakes cookie" and then he said "yummm I love mama's cookies" and started dancing and singing Elle's biscuit anthem (from Pocoyo movie) "Mama's cookies are the best... are the best... are the best... mama's cookies are the best.. are the best... are the best".... :D He sure knows how to make mama happy
Mama Boots
When he asked mama where something was mama would sometimes reply "I don't know, Boots" (from Dora the Explorer, Dora often says that phrase)... and yesterday Tio asked mama
T: "Where's my racing car, Mama?"
M: "I don't know Boots"
T: "Oh here it is, I found it, Mama Boots" :D
With papa these were Baby Spider and Papa Spider, Snow Baby and Snow Papa :D
Cockroach
He knows mama is scared of cockroaches... few days ago he said he would read to mama. He got his Animals book but he stuck to the page with cockroach, spider, bug, praying mantis ... and teasingly he pointed to the cockroach over and over again while asking mama "what is this mama?"
Scary Monstip and naming the animals
Still related to the Animals book... he asked mama "what's the name of the cat?" ... confused, mama tried any cat names like "kitty, cathy, browny, meow meow" but nothing was right... so mama asked Tio what the correct name was and Tio said "Some More" :D
And then he named other animals, he named the horse "Galloping", the ostrich "Panikun", and some others but mama forgot what they were.
And he told papa that he's scared of the "Scary Monstip" and asked papa to draw a scary monstip for him :D
my little Chef
As he often saw mama cooking, he likes to pretend he was cooking too. Mama gave him a handful of red beans long time ago. Now most of the red beans are missing as he likes to scatter them around. He also collected some seeds from the trees near the house. As these seeds are oval, he pretends they were eggs. He likes to borrow mama's cooking utensils ever since he started exploring the kitchen.
Papa bought him a book entitled "Martine and the little chefs", the pictures are so pretty. And it gave mama an idea to make him a chef's hat out of paper. But papa was the one who made the idea into a reality last night hehehe. So this morning papa was lucky enough to catch some pictures of the little chef. At first he didn't want to wear the hat, but then he liked it.
This afternoon he put the hats several times by himself.
Tio: "I'm the little chef"
Mama: "What should I pretend to be?"
Tio: "you're the Khun, Mama, you should prepare (things) for the chef"
so the officially appointed Khun had to prepare sugar, eggs, red beans, apple sauce, slicing carrot and cabbage for the chef :D

Tio at 29 m
Tantrum phase is over, hopefully
As I remember his tantrum lasted for around, or less than, 1 month, when he was 27m, now he's back to his normal self. Thank God :)
Mama, you don't like me?
Two days ago when mama and Tio went out just the two of us, suddenly Tio asked mama "Mama, you don't like me? you don't? you don't?" =))
Mama said "Of course I like you, how about you, do you like mama?"
Tio said "No"
Mama asked again "How about papa, do you like papa?"
Tio said "No"
Maybe he gets his own understanding about what "like" means
But his question also made Mama realise that Mama scolded Tio a lot, only to realise afterward that Tio did not really deserve to be scolded. Mama is expecting Tio to behave a lot older and mature than he really is, sorry baby. Mama should be more patient with you.
Lots and lots of questions
He loves to be read to. And now he has so many questions when we are reading to him.
It all started with the pictures. Whenever he saw many lines that illustrate that someone or something was moving he called the lines as "Echo". Then the next step he asked "Echo, it means?" so I explained to him that the "echo" meant someone was shaking his head, etc.
Then the questions became more difficult
"clay means?"
"air means?"
"winter means?"
"time means?"
"stay indoor means?"
"thread means?"
OMG my time has come to deal with the difficult questions :D I have to literally scratch my head thinking how I should answer his questions....I think I should keep the Wikipedia website open on my computer when reading to Tio :D
And he loves to repeat the questions over and over again :D I cannot help laughing *in desperation, sometimes :D* when he's doing it.
Role Playing
Tio dropped Rolley accidentally to the floor
"Rolley, are you ok?"
"I'm ok"
"Which one is sakit?" (sakit = painful)
"This one?"
*mmmuahhh* (smooching sound)
Just like what we do to him when he bumps into something :)
He's more into this kind of role-playing. I can't help laughing sometimes to hear him play.
School
We'd been deliberating whether we'd send him to school or not. The info we received from our friend and the Community School web said that the school accepted students who are 30 m old. So Tio will be 30 m in Dec, while the school starts in Jan.
There are many pros and cons on this matter. Some people we talked to advised to postpone sending him to school and let him enjoy playing freely at home. Some people said that school helped their children to be more independent.
I also think that we may pamper and baby him too much at home. Interaction with the teachers and other children on a daily basis would do him good. But watching him playing these days, I pity him if he has to lose his chance to play. Though the school would be only half day in the morning, but in the afternoon he sleeps. So he would have no time for his free play.
But our deliberation was actually a waste of time :) I decided to call the school today and found out that the school accepts children who are 2y 8m for Jan semester, while 2y 6m is for Aug semester. OK, so the matter is decided upon. We'll save it till July comes.

Tio at 28 m
Pandanus leaves are for Panda :D
Papa was holding a bunch of pandanus leave we just picked from a nearby pond.
Mama: Tio, those are pandanus leave.
Tio: we have to bring it to the panda
Hahaha so pandanus leaves are leaves for Pandas...
Mama, what are you look like?
Mama was wearing a shirt given by mama's sister in law. It's nice but the style is rather different than mama's other shirts (other shirts are normally just t-shirts). The first time Tio saw mama he said "mama, what are you look like?"
Hahaha maybe he thought mama was dressing up for a halloween party (as he saw in Dora, Diego etc.. when the characters are dressed up in costumes, usually there are questions "what is he look like?")
