Ian is sleeping

Eppie is out because it is a Teacher-Parent meeting tonight at YMJH. Quite frankly, I was a bit uneasy about the idea of passing a few evening hours with Ian alone. I simply could not predict what would happen.

Apparently Ian has his own plan. He has been cooperating with his boring Daddy during the dinner, although he fumbled with rice with full hands and tried to break through the kitchen door.

At about 7:30, Ian started to yawn, rubbed his eyes, and babbled nonsense utterances. Great! The foreplay of sleeping. At 7:50, Ian officially slept.

A few minutes later, it dawned on me that it is Ian's way of protesting staying alone with his boring Daddy because he has never fallen asleep at 7:30 in the evening!

Ian the Columbus

It's really hard for an adult to imagine how energetic a toddler can be.
Ian is curious about the world around him. He is like the Energizer Bunny. While he is awake, he keeps going and going, and going.

Ian is not fooling around. He is exploring.
The house is full of surprises, and that makes the house the most wonderful amusement park in the world. Ian's latest discovery is the desktop in the living room. He punched the keyboard, scratched the monitor, pounded the mouse, and always wanted to know what's behind the monitor.

How can I stop Ian? Ian the Columbus is 'going boldly where no toddlers have gone before'. He is ready to conquer the new world.
PS> Hopefully Ian is not turning to be a Conquistador after 'Terrible Two'.

Ian had a scheduled checkup

Last Friday (0307), Ian had a scheduled checkup.
Height: 83 cm (percentile rank: 75%); weight: 13 kg (percentile rank: 50%)

Ian also had a vaccination shot. He cried like hell, but a candy bar proved to be a consolation and temptation that cannot be denied by any 1.5-year-old.

I lost 1 kg.
