A little strategist

Something fascinating happened when I took my shower last night after the concert. Everybody was back from the concert and I left Jeremy with them. This is exactly what Jason told me. He was there to keep an eye on Jeremy.

"Yesterday you missed it. While you were bathing or somewhere. After Jeremy finished his milk or something, he saw LL's toy. I was noticing his reaction. He is quite smart juga now. Very steady. He saw it and he slowly sat up. And I think he was trying to figure out the best way to take a look at the toy. He didn't just come down and run towards LL. He looked at the toy. Smiled a bit. And macam pikir2 a bit... like strategising. Then slowly he came down and sat down slowly next to LL. Then he paused. Then after a few seconds, he slowly touched the toy. Not grabbing it from LL. And then after a while... miracle man... LL actually kasi pinjam the toy to Jeremy. Then Jeremy also pandai. Quickly kasi balik. Then he could take a second time again. Macam pandai sudah he strategise. He was doing it slowly. Hehehe. Coz I think hew knows if he just take it, he won't get it. If what I interpret is true, this guy is damn smart for his age. But I dunno lah. Maybe just a fluke. I was studying how he actually was trying to do it. He really did it very deliberately, with thought and planning. Not those usual come down and take type."

I was actually shocked too to see Jeremy being able to play with LL's new toy. Maybe Jeremy is learning to understand LL more.

This is what Tracy told me. She said sometimes when she's doing work and Jeremy is playing by himself, Jeremy would pop by and say 'hello' to her and then leave. Several times. Sometimes on his scooter. After a few times, he would ask Tracy to play with him. Hehehe. Maybe the first few hellos was to see Tracy's reaction or to get Tracy in the mood to play with him before he asks. Hehehe.

This morning I let Jeremy nursed before I went to work. Then he hugged me and didn't want to let go while saying "Mommy shlow". He wanted to follow me to work. It touched my heart. If I could, I would bring him with me but that's not possible. I explained to him that next time when he goes to school, he can follow Mommy to work. That did that trick.
