And what is he cooking? Maybe, bits of his cookies. In a skillet? ;)
And, is that stove-top or floor-top? ;) You might be wondering at how Japan has gone way above and beyond high technology such that even floors are equipped with cooking powers. hahaha! :D
Just wanna make you laugh, guys! Though Luke is dead serious at his cooking. ;)
At home
Autumn 2006
Gone are the days when this young man eagerly smashes the keyboard, where the harder the hit, the happier he was. He's now a grown up, and grown ups don't bang the computer keyboard. ;) Instead, he uses his finger to press a key at random, and pressing it endlessly till you could only see a single letter or two on the screen typed in infinity. ;)
I have this feeling that he's gonna learn how to type his name from the keyboard sooner than expected of his age. When that happens, which I am pretty sure it will, I'll throw a party. Ha! ha! ha!
No doubt a computer savvy in the making!

As a parent, it is just amazing to know that kids like mine are keen at imitating what adults do. Here's a classic example of how observant they are. On a few occasions, Dadi was playing with Luke and (unconsciously) showing him how to spin any rounded thing away. And, much to our surprise, Luke is able to do it by himself, after carefully observing how it is done. I think that started when Luke was about 11 months old. And until now, everytime he sees an object that is relatively new to him, he tries to spin it to his extreme delight, laughing all by himself as if saying, "Yipeey, I did it!".
Hence, the mood of the play nowadays is spinning here and there, even if the object is not spinnable. ;)
Surely, my son has enough collection of all sorts of toys -- to play with, scatter around, chipchop, cuddle and bang here and there. But I guess, enough is never enough.
We don't have to buy him new toys everyday, or so often. I've found a clever way of surprising him with ones that are new to him. In the same place that we love to hangout, there are sample toys that children can play with (or even destroy it) anytime of the day. Luke likes it here, no doubt about that. The moment we get out of the elevator, he knew instantly where we are headed to. He would ramble in his stroller wanting to get free of me, and run for his beloved free toys. We can even stay here for the whole day if we want. Luke has the entire section for his playground, and no doubt he's enjoying it a lot. ;)
I know for a fact that this is just a marketing strategy to entice moms like me to buy such toys if their kids like them so much they wanted to bring home. But I'm not gonna give in to that, not for now. My instinct tells me that Luke is pretty happy and satisfied with his free toys for the day, just as much as he enjoys those "regulars" waiting for him at home. ;)
