Singing

This weekend we went to Toys R' Us so that Boo-Head could buy himself a toy with some of the birthday money he got from our recent house guests.

It turns out that Toys R' Us were celebrating Geoffrey The Giraffe's birthday this weekend in stores.

Party hats, colouring books, Thomas the Train wooden whistles, and stickers were all given.

In addition to this, H1, Dadda and Boo-Head joined the parade march around the store, which began with a Happy Birthday song to G. the G.

Boobey thought the song was being sung to him and was rather proud of himself.

It's the same kind of proud smile and look-around look he gets when we applaud him for doing something smart.

H1 had to stop singing because she was laughing so hard.

Another favourite song of his this weekend is the spaghetti and meatball song.

Bold letters are the sentences he completes:

On top of spaghetti,
all covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball
when somebody achoo.

I like his version better.

I don't know if I've mentioned it but he's finishing the lines to "Blitzkrieg Bop" to my delight.

And finally, Grandma only sang this song in front of him once but I guess it's the only thing that makes sense to him and he'd be right:

I had a little monkey
he went to the parlour to buy me some bread
the lady there took a piece of charcoal
and shove it up he nose hole
oh lord now my poor monkey go ded

It's tragic he knows that horrible song.

Grandma's never to sing that again!

Note: The lyrics are probably wrong but that's basically how they go because I, myself never want to hear that song again!

Ghosts

For some reason, he is obsessed with ghosts.

He knew of ghosts sometime last year when he liked to be brought up to my room by Papa, and he would inquire about my Luigi's Mansion figure atop my dressing table.

"That's a ghost," I would tell him.
"Ghos," he would reply.

He hasn't been in my room for months and I only mentioned it whenever he was there but lately, all he talks about are ghosts.

Sometimes, he goes into his room and starts saying "ghost!".

The other day, he went into a Halloween store, went to the back room for changing and said, "ghost!".

Two evenings ago I figured that he must have been seeing the little ghost plush Sandy Cheeks gave to me last year, so I brought it down and asked him what it was.

"Ghost!" he said.
"Yep. It's a ghost!" I answered.

And then, he became scared of it.

It was rather odd.

Then he realised that ghost could play peek-a-boo with him from under its hoodie, so he was okay after that.

I really don't know where he's getting this stuff from considering it looks nothing like the one in my room.

It's...kind of scary and has me a tad concerned.

Maybe there's something he sees that we don't?

I doubt it.

I just hope I don't get knicked in the 'ead again.

Broke It

Poor Bendy, Guy, Ghee...it all depends on who is calling him.

I broke his foot the other day and now it won't bend like it used to, and won't hold a solid position. Boobey-Head's face was one of utmost shock and horror.

It was tragic.

No Longer Shu'Dace

Apparently, I am no longer Shu'Dace or Blueberry.

He calls me "Boobey" now.

Which probably means, he's no longer Boobey.

Elephant

More art from Day Care -



I'm not sure where the red dot was originally but that's how it was given to me.

I'm going to take liberties and say that the upside-down elephant is marked for death or maybe a bindi? I guess it depends on the country that elephant is from.

Rollin' Down Rodeo

After a month of no Day Care due in part to sickness, Boo-Head returned to his beloved Day Care.

Why did we send him there though?

He experienced his first encounter with racism!

One of the class 'trips' was to visit the nursing home of the hospital and 'he enjoyed dancing and singing for the grandmas', according to the report.

They probably had him dancing like a monkey!

"Dance, Monkey, Dance!"

Sad.

A Handsome, Money Lovin' Boo-Head

For two days, one of our recent guests kept telling Boo-Head how handsome he was. He no longer says he's cute and if you ask him, he'll say he's handsome.

Our guests gave him money for his fund (or for my fee of $710 for pain and suffering and a dirty camera) and in true Chinese blood fashion according to Grandma, hid the money behind his back.

As they were in the car leaving for the train station, he was at the window - not telling them goodbye but rather, shouting "Money! Money!"

I guess he wanted more money.

When asked what he'll buy with his new found wealth, he told his Daddy "Milk" and "Ice-Cream".

When asked by his Mommy, he said "trains".

When asked if he'd buy Or 2 a present, he declined.

Giving Chase

Sunglasses

After the debacle with the broken glasses, I went to the Mall for a long overdue eye exam and a new pair of glasses.
I ended up getting sunglasses as well (which ended up more less "Rock Band" than anticipated).

I put them on, walked away from Boobey to throw something in the bin, then returned to where he was standing.

He gave me a sweet face and in a flirty voice said, "Hiiiiii" and waved.

I had to inform him that it was me and not some goo'd looking stranger.

New Sesame Street Classics on YouTube

Here are some 'new' videos that we watch:



Zip! Zoom! Scary!



Pretty good but not as good as the next which I'm sure you all have forgotten...



Pure greatness!

Okay Then.

Or 2: Is Boobey whiney today?
H1: No, A'Face was happy to see him.
Or 2: Oh, okay.
H1: B'Cheeks was happy to see Grandma.
Or 2: Okay.
H1: Boobey was happy to see an apple.
Or 2: Wha'?
H1: Yeah.
Or 2: …okay.

Haircut Toy Friends

After each visit at "Snip it!", a haircut establishment for kids, Boo-Head gets a toy.

The first time, he got a black bear with a large stomach. When squeezed in the middle, the bear would extend his head upwards and 'stand' straight.

This bear is known as "Dada".

The second time, he got a brown bear with a wide stomach. When squeezed in the middle, the bear would expand in and out.

This bear is known as "Momma".

The third time, he got a yellow and brown snake. It's a type of rattle, we're certain. I've not seen it in a while but he's around somewhere.

This snake has not been named.

Last Saturday, his closed up fist held a new friend to add to the mix. His palm opened up when I asked him to show me his friend and there sat,



a Monkey...duck?

Monkey Duck is known as Monkey Duck.



Thankfully, it does not remind him of me though, that wouldn't be a horrible thing as Monkey Duck is pretty awesome.

He gives airy kisses, which stuns Boobey-Head every time.

He spasmed the first time Monkey Duck blew a kiss in his face.

It's the funniest thing.

I need to make sure Monkey Duck doesn't get lost in the bag of cars. He should not suffer the same fate as Momma Bear who went missing in the car a few days ago.

Jeebus

Grandma was on the phone with H1 today, and in the background could be heard "Down, pleaaaassee. Down, pllleeaase!!"

When it was realized that Grandma was ignoring him as he sat in his chair, Boo-Head increased the volume of the screeching, "DOWN! PLEASE!!! PLLLEEEEEAAASSSSSEEEEE!!!"

After which Grandma said to H1, "Let me go, he's carrying on like he's on the Cross."

Cheerios... See You in the Morning

Cheerios are "G-o-o, GOOD" to Boobey.

H1 and I are working on that "D".

As Papa HOChie was leaving today, Boobey told him "Bye Byeeee, ~e you ~~ morning". The 's' and the 'in' weren't quite there but we understood what he meant.
He learnt it from H1 and applied it accordingly.

Smart.

Spelling

He spelt the word on his shoe this evening with a little prompting from Or 2.

E

E!

l

L!

m

M!

o

O!!!!

Unfortunately, the most vile word on the planet was on his shoe but that's another story.

Dancing

He keeps dancing in the car and it his hilarious and cute how he bounces.

Yesterday he proved once more that he loves Arctic Monkeys, his Uncle Alex and drums.

I need to buy him a kit.

Blueberry No Longer

This weekend we realised that he rarely calls Or 2 "Blueberry" now. He has taken to finally saying "Suga'Face" except it sounds more like "Sug'dace" or something like that.

I kind of miss it. Kind of.

Dirty

H1 just reminded me of that time when Boobey was looking at a blemish on Grandma and after inspection said, "Mole dirty".

To which Grandma replied, "my mole dirty?! Your penis dirty!"

He knows all about that because he wanted a bath once and told his Momma that his penis was dirty.

Bridges and Slides

His fever broke this morning. I'm here watching the results of this event. It had him sweating lots as if he were dumped in the bath but now he's here, crazy! All the energy he did not have for the past week was building up and is currently in full effect.

He already went upstairs and sat on his dinosaur ball toy, trying to use it as a slide because it reminded him of his own slides outside (at the power of suggestion of me). Silly kid! It was obviously too small for him and it was hilarious.

He was also using Momma as a bridge and when I asked him who's crazy, he said he was.

It's true.

We're happy though that he is feeling better and hope that was truly the last of the fever.

Happy Birthday, Momma!

If you are here, that means you found your first present. It cost me not much but I guess time is money sooo... Well, it did cost me a little bit of sad moments, some moments of panic (when you'd come around in the room and I had to hide what I was doing quickly and blogspot refused to co-operate), but mostly there are fun moments.

Welcome to:



If you can't read it, it says "Boo-Head Hi Jinks".

Now that you know all about my secret project, and I'm sure everyone else will find it eventually, you can contribute to everything Boo-Head!

Happy Birthday with lots of love from Boo-Head and Or 2.

Still Sweet, Even When Sick

Boobey's had a fever for the past week. He went to the doctor yesterday and admist crying due to fact that he was in a small room with a doctor, he still managed to be polite.

H1: Boobey, say bye bye to Dr. E.
Boobey: ::bawl bawl:: Bye bye ::bawl bawl:: Tank ooo (thank you) ::bawl bawl cry cry::

He was sleeping when his fever came back last night, at which point H1 had to wake him.

H1: Honey, you have to wake up because you have a fever…
Boobey (sleepily): Hot.
H1: Yes, honey, you're hot…
Boobey: Medicine?
H1: Yes, honey, I have to give you medicine
Boobey: Drink?
H1: Yes, honey, I have your drink right here.
Boobey: Tank ooo

This morning when I saw him, he had his paci in his mouth and I told him, "Okay, you're going to have a day of play with Grandma today! Hopefully no more fever. And when you see the cats say hi to them, alright?"
He looked up the stairs and said, "hiiii, braaowww (that's what cats are and that's what they say, apparently)".
"Yep, say hi to Pumpkin."
"Pumpkin, hiiiiii".

It makes me a little said that he says Pumpkin so clearly now.

Three Little Birds

He and Momma were singing this today. The parts in bold are the words he sings - he completes the line...

Rise up this mornin,
Smiled with the risin sun,
Three little birds
On my truck
Singin sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin, 'this is my message to you'

...other than the truck and the 'you-ou-ou', he completes the lines pretty well for the most part.
