oh the things he says

Gabriel is at such a talkative/chatty stage at the moment. the moment i pick him up from daycare, he would talk and talk and talk and talk. sometimes about the new things he had learnt at daycare, sometimes he'll tell me the same thing over and over again. apart from repeating what we've said to him, he can now form his own sentences quite well and some of the things he says get Jim and i in stitches. for example, during dinner time the other day, he was taking too long in between spoonful of food and it looked as though he won't be able to finish them. so i told him i'm going to be very angry with him if he doesn't finish his dinner and he'll have to go to bed hungry. as he picked up another spoonful of food, he says to me: "you not very nice girl mummy.' 

and then the next day, at the dinner table again, Charlotte was sitting on the high chair next to him playing with her toys. she picked them up and toss them on the floor. and occasionally when Gabriel puts his head too close to her, she'll grab his hair. we've been telling Gabriel that Charlotte can't control her hands very well and she's still learning. so the other day, he says to us: "Charlotte can't control Charlotte's hand by Charlotte's self."

every time we get in the car, he would point towards the driver's seat and say: "when i grow bigger, i can drive this car and i sit there'. and when he asks for Jim and i told him daddy is at work, he would say: "when i grow bigger, i go work". or when he's watching one of those youtube videos, he would say to me: "mummy, i don't have this toy, i need to buy it." and he says this to me every time i pick him up from daycare: "mummy, i good boy i didn't cry at school today, i can play with my off road lightnight queen and have special treat?"

he's grown so much since he became a big brother. Jim and i really need to be careful of what we say in front of him. 

below are some photos taken during the xmas/new year break, daycare was closed so Gabriel was home everyday. we had to come up with different activities for him and one of them was helping daddy wash the car. he took his job very seriously and after the car is all clean, he says to me: "mummy, your car all clean now, you have to keep it clean okay?"
