Crooning
I discovered, after a series of attempts at soothing David the Grouch, that music actually calms him down. It's amazing. "Baa Baa Black Sheep" works like a charm, together with other assorted lullabies that I remembered from my youth. I'm wondering if he's picky about the song. I'll have to try humming the tune to "Superman" next. Just kidding.
Like His Great-Grand-Daddy
I was a little stunned looking at a picture of my grandfather in his youth. David's got some of his features, which is not surprising, but rather interesting. My granddad was a serious man, and rather grumpy (he was more cheerful after a drink or two, but it got better after his conversion). I was wondering, won't it be so strange if David were serious and sober like him? It would be so.... well, strange.
Sleeplessness Caring for the Grouch
The lady and I are slooooooowly taking over from Feng Jie, who's been teaching us how to go about controlling him. I'm very glad that she has the same principles when it comes to child caring. She's a very capable lady who's got tons of experience, something we call can learn from. I promised her that she'll be the first person we call even after our number eleven (the lady is glaring at me now).
Can You Imagine Oreo, Banana and Cinammon? I Can.
Whipped together with cream, eggs and other nice things. Eelin came by today to deliver the best ice cream we've had for a long time. You know, that homemade goodness and all that. Hey Eelin, we're (very) willing test subjects, we'll volunteer anytime to sample ice cream goodness. ANYTIME! Hahahaa. We love ice cream so much.
