Nowadays I make it a point to call Calvin on nights that he's on duty so that Gabby can have a chat with him. Here's part of tonight's chat...

...
Daddy: *Muack!
Gabby: Cannot....
Daddy: Why??
Gabby: Daddy come back... and kiss me...

Awwwww... how can that not melt anyone's heart?

We've been teaching Gabby our names.. And this was the conversation we had after dinner last night.

Me: Gabby, what is Daddy's name?
G: Cal-vin
M: What is Po Po's name?
G: Yo Yo (that's what the family calls her)
M: What is Mommy's name?
G: Mei (I actually taught her Huimin, but she hears my parents call me Mei everyday..)
M: What is Gong Gong's name?
G: Bless you..
M: *scratch head.. why bless you?
Calvin: because his name is "Ah Chew" mah..

OMG! My daughter is showing signs of lameness!! And no, Calvin didn't teach her that.. we only taught her to say "bless you" when someone sneezes! Only her lame Daddy can understand her...

It was raining when Calvin went to pick Gabby up today. They had this conversation on their way home with Gabby in Calvin's arms.

Daddy: Gabby, can you come down and walk on your own please?
Gabby: No...
Daddy: Why?
Gabby: The floor wet wet...
Daddy: ....

One of our friends Dave started a new venture, a soup restaurant and the whole gang decided to meet for dinner at his restaurant a couple of weekends ago to support him. Audrey and Teri's parents and my parents went along as well.

After dinner, as we were chatting, Teri's mom decided to take Gabby for a walk around the foodcourt. Gabby has ALWAYS been a big fan of Auntie and Uncle. She has an incredible affinity with the both of them since she's a baby.

Today, I found out about this conversation through a FB post by Teri.

This is the 2nd weekend of my confinement, which means Gabby hasn't gone out for 2 weekends (other than school). Her wonderful Daddy decided to bring her out for breakfast at McDonald's (alone! *applause) and also to the playground in the late afternoon. And of course our little darling had a blast!

On their way back home from the playground, the duo had a conversation while Calvin was carrying Gabby.

Daddy: Gabby, can you come down and walk on your own please? Daddy's very tired.
Gabby: No...
Daddy: Why?
Gabby: (after thinking for 3seconds) Gabby's tired..
Daddy: (laughing) ......
