Whom I kidding… Even if I’m with him he still prefers his
iPod.
While running a few errands this weekend, Morne and Loïc
worked through Morne’s playlist while driving around. They came across this
song by Kylie Minogue and Loïc had an instant attraction to it. When they
arrived home Morne called me to come see this. He put the song on… Loïc belted
out the phrase “Higher, Higher, Higher” every time Kyle sang fire or higher. He even
incorporated a little hand gesture with it by lifting his hands to the sky. It
was so cute to see that I played the song at least three times thereafter just
to see him perform.
It is amazing how much of our gestures our children pay attention
to. Last week I walked in on Loïc where he was sitting at the kitchen counter
in front of his Dad’s laptop talking on Morne’s cell phone. He was chatting
away in his own little language. I even thought for a moment that it would be
really funny if there was someone on the other side, but wasn’t too concerned
as Morne had a lock on his phone. At one stage Loïc pulled the phone away from
his ear and my eye caught a glimpse… There was a call in progress. I
intervened… He was busy chatting to his Oupa and that conversation lasted for
almost 10 minutes. Oupa had such a giggle and for him it was such a precious
moment. Although he could not understand a word Loïc was saying he enjoyed
their chat thoroughly.
Later that same week we gave Loïc the opportunity to make another
call to his grandparents. This time he decided to talk to them while taking a
stroll through the garden… Just like Morne and I do when on the phone. My heart
melted.
Sunday was a hot and perfect day for ice-cream and what a perfect
way to end a weekend. We went off to Smooch and filled our tubs to the brim.
Loïc decided he had enough and found his Dad’s wallet more interesting than the
ice-cream. With a bit of encouragement I said to him to go buy us more
ice-cream. He knew exactly what to do… He took one of Morne’s cards out of the
wallet and handed it to one of the gents behind the counter. He then proceeded
to take out another card and hand it to someone else. I did not get more ice-cream,
but the patrons in the store had a good laugh.
I absolutely love these precious moments!!
Jusqu'à la prochaine fois ...
