Recently Nathan has more interaction with Louis, the 2-year old British-Chinese gentleman. Nathan went to Louis's room and there is a big poster on the wall with the alphabets. Louis was teaching Nathan ABCs. How wonderful it is!
Nathan still plays with 2-year old Wesley a lot. They go to parks and playroom together, and visit each other's house, play each other's toys.
That's why Nathan is so smart because he got a few little teachers and they are free of charge.

milk once a day
Nathan now only drinks 180ml (6 oz) milk (formula) at around 9 PM.
For a while, he drank twice a day, either early morning and before bed time; or mid-afternoon and before bed time. At 13.5 month, Nathan's weight was above 90% on the weight chart in Hong Kong. The nurse suggested us to cut his milk intake, by 18 months, he should drink at most 2 x 120ml milk a day. We achieved that goal much early.
Instead, we use little bit fruit, bread or toddler crackers to replace the milk as his snacks. Nathan is fine with that, still a fat yet healthy boy. His bowel movement is very normal, 1 or 2 times a day.

Happy Baby Book
On the shelf in the library of club house, there sits a book called "Happy Baby Book". It seems to have been reserved for Nathan and Mommy. Everytime we go there, it sits at the same position that Nathan put back before we left last time.
The book contains lots of happy and cute baby pictures, with topic titles like "give him a bunny", "give him something to play", "give him a cookie", "sing a song", etc. Nathan just loves the book, so does Mommy. Nathan walks into the libraray, takes the book from the bookshelf, sits down and reads. He turns the pages randomly and points to the pictures, and say "da" or something else. Well, Nathan, you should say "happy" or "cute".
There is one page "Sing a song" with picture of a mommy with baby sitting on her laps. They hold two hands together and the text is the lyrics of the song "row your boat".
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
One day, Mommy put Nathan on her laps and held his hands, and sang the song. I wish someone took our picture. After that, each time Mommy sings the song, Nathan reach out for Mommy's hands, and become happy.
Thanks to whoever donated the book to the small library.

绰号 Nicknames
刚出生的时候，爸爸换了两周（而已）的尿片（当时很多PooPoo啊），用臭臭(Chou Chou)两字的谐音，给绰号"Chiou Chiou"（没有对应的汉字），沿用至今。
后来长得比较大个，尤其体重一直是95%左右，爸爸给了另一个绰号："Big Guy".
妈妈很没水平，只会用“小宝”或“宝宝”来称呼 Nathan. 他不听话的时候也会冒出“小臭宝”几个字。
小宝是会所小孩游戏室的常客，很有名。其他家的工人见到我，都知道是 "Nathan's Mommy". 她们也有给小宝起绰号，比如说 "wonder boy" 或是 "Jet li" （因为圆圆的和尚头？）。

购物天堂 shopping heaven
香港没被列入“避税天堂”的黑名单，似乎刺激了很多人入房市。 香港给中国人的印象是购物天堂 。妈咪搬来香港之后，所有的朋友都会问，“怎么样，购物很爽吧？”，“应该可以当我的购物导游了吧。” 可是非常惭愧的是，妈咪到现在只有两次出门时专门给自己买衣服鞋子。有一次还是妈咪的老同学从深圳来约妈咪逛街。她知道的尖沙嘴的店比妈咪还多，而且妈咪还要靠地图和问路来当导游。
平时的周末基本贡献给小宝，带他去游乐场，公园，图书馆。周日工人休息，爸爸一个人不可能搞定小宝，妈妈必须在。一家三口去逛街的话，通常是走马观花，吃吃饭，要不就是买小宝的东西和日用品。周六妈妈偶尔偷个懒，去做个面膜，或是陪客人逛街，去了一趟深圳而已。
为了不负众望，妈妈要加油逛街啊~~

奔波的周末
爸爸心血来潮说我们去看看房子吧。没想到星期六是清明节，香港的公共假日，工人的假日。每个星期天也是法定假日，所以这是一个爸爸妈妈的辛苦周末。妈妈常常觉得自己比工人还辛苦。
周六，周日小宝也只好跟着在外奔波，坐了无数趟电梯，看了无数间空房子，吃了无数饼干和面包，也让爸爸妈妈抱了无数分钟。值得表扬的是，小宝都选择在家Poo Poo, 真所谓“肥水不留外人田”。 我们周六上午出去，下午2点进门就Poo Poo。周日午饭后出门很晚才回家，小宝上午Poo Poo。
看了沙田区的3 个大型屋苑，真的是各有优缺点，很难选呀。
A 花园.
pro: 房间大，便宜，紧挨着河滨公园
con: 开发商声誉不好，面向高速，会所太小，无篮球场，外表朴素，交通一般
B 园.
pro: 大小可以，声誉好，园子开阔，交通算方便，
con: 贵，朝南的房子有高速噪音 ，隔壁屋苑有个不太好的篮球场
C 城.
pro: 安静，会所非常好，有篮球场
con: 房间小，交通一般
我们现在住的马鞍山区公屋，居屋，私人屋苑混杂，学区不好。但是紧挨着海滨长廊（修建中），有不错的私人屋苑，社区设施好。沙田区则有几所很好的小学。
大家都应该注意到了，有没有好的篮球场是我们家爸爸挑选房子的一个重要条件呢！
