Hugs, Kisses & Praises

I love it when Randall suddenly comes hugging or kissing me whilst playing by himself. It feels really good and makes my day without fail! A few days ago while he was seated in his car seat, he held my hand and then kissed it. Then, he demanded that I kiss his hand too, which I was more than happy to oblige. :D
Sometimes, he'll start praising us, like, "Dad dad, you're happy and good and I love you!" or "Mummy, you're so good and I love you!" Only then I realise how good it feels to be praised and it reminded me that we should praise him more in return as well :)

Egg & Rice Only

Yes, Randall is in a food jag since a few months ago. He has been eating eggs and rice only (and nothing else!) for his lunches and dinners if he has a choice. Give him any kind of eggs - sunny-side up, hard boiled, half-boiled, and a bowl of pure white rice, and he is in heaven! :) Sometimes, I wonder if it's just a phase he's going through, or he takes after my eating habit. I, for one, can eat alot of certain food I like over and over again, and it can lasts me through a looonnnggg time. I have no problem eating the same thing for breakfasts every morning and I seldom get sick of food cos of a lack of variety. So, I can never understand why Daryl has to squeeze out all his brain juice every morning just to think of what to have for his breakfast. Haha.. Anyway, Randall's food jag makes our dining out pretty easy cos we'll just boil an egg to bring out to restaurants which don't serve eggs. Other times, eggs could be pretty easily available everywhere. Thanks to my mil, he has a wider variety of food in the weekdays. Besides the egg and rice, he is into fried fishes too. And if I cook over the weekend, I will steam some shredded broccoli/ carrots/ cauliflowers together with his rice which he has no complaints so far. So I guess his food intake is still reasonably nutritious.
