Baby of the family

It was PSLE listening comprehension on Tuesday so no school for P1-5. I went back to bed after sending off Kai and Yang. Soon, Yu woke and came into our bed.

Somehow, we started looking at his hands. And he told me that Kai said that he's still a baby coz he still has those dimples on his hands.

Tuesday

Just when we thought that actually Yu wasn't small anymore, he showed us that he's still a baby 💕 

Then yesterday, he came home sad and starving. He didn't have anything to eat during recess coz a boy bumped into him and knocked off his "panko rice" - panko chicken with Japanese curry. The queue was too long for him to buy again. He said he looked at the boy and the boy looked back at him before walking away without even an apology. I think Yu was too shocked to do anything. But he said he was too timid to do anything.

What did he do then? Cried :( He also cried when recounting the incident. This boy cries silent tears. Which are the worst. So poor thing. And so hungry coz he had only a cup of warm milo at home before school and a pack of milk at noon. Luckily it was a shorter day than usual due to P5 oral exams.

Over lunch, we told him that if this should happen again, he should just get a quick snack at a stall with a shorter queue instead of starving. More importantly, call out the boy. Not to expect the boy to compensate for the food but at least he should apologise? And if he should see this happen to other kids, he should step in to help. But again, he said he was too timid *.*

Today, Sito reminded me that this boy could stand up to his big brother who is almost two heads taller. So I told him again to stand up to others too when need be. Don't suffer in silence. He just gave me cute look and said ok 🤔

Maybe he's still too young. Ah well...
