conversations with Xuan

Xuan is slowly losing his toddler-ness. A couple of months ago, he developed a habit of nose-picking. He discovered that he can insert his fingers into the nostrils, how funny!! Some days, he will ask the father to wipe off the booger is his hand. So days ago, my sis was poking fun at xuan by saying Cheng had been too naughty so she had to cut Cheng's ears.

Sis: I have to cut off didi's ears. He is too naughty.
Xuan: No, you can't. Didi cannot hear without ears.
Sis: Then I cut his mouth, ok?
Xuan: No, you can't. Didi cannot eat without mouth.
Sis: I think I would cut his eyes.
Xuan: No no no. You can't do that. Didi cannot see without eyes.
Sis: Ok, we cut his nose.
Xuan: No. Didi cannot pick his nose then.

Last nite, hubby and I chitchatted with xuan before bedtime.
Me: Daddy and mummy will go travel to the Europe. Will it be ok if you stay back with Didi and grandma in Kelantan? You can take plane then.
Xuan: I wanna go travel too. I wanna go to Europe. I wanna go to Munich.
Hubby: What do you wanna see there?
Xuan: I can see ice (he meant snow).
Mummy: How do you know we can see snow?
Xuan: Mummy, you wait. I will show you.
Xuan got up of the bed, reaching for the europe album.

I think we will have a very heavy heart to leave these kids behind. They have been such a sweetie.
