A couple of nights ago, after the girls had all been tucked into bed, Mr T and I were spending some quality time together in the living room, with the Little One playing by himself amongst the many toys that we have accumulated over the years. Out of the blue, the Little One searches and gets hold of the little manicure set that Grandma Ling had bought for the girls a couple of years ago, and creeps up to his unsuspecting father and starts giving him a pedicure! The way he went about painting his daddy's toe nails were quite spot on! He must have learned the tricks of the trade on how to give a good pedicure from his ever so reliable San Jie (i.e. the Little Wizard)!
Needless to say, the manicure/pedicure set was immediately confiscated by Mr T who declared that it was TIME TO GET SOME TOY GUNS IN THIS HOUSE!
So guess where we'll be heading this weekend...
An update...
A trip to Toys R us, bore little fruit. The toy swords and guns were far too advance for the Little One. Instead, we have recharged our old remote-control car and dusted off the dust from its bonnet. During my recent trip to Singapore, I managed to get the Little One his very own remote-control car with flashing lights and disco music too! He was very fascinated, though very frightened, by these very fast 'creatures'. Now his little fingers are getting pretty good at the remote control though there have been a couple of minor traffic accidents at home. But all is good.
~ Jottings by a blessed Mother who continues to diligently segregate girly toys from the more neutral-gender type of toys and who is happy to note that the Little One currently enjoys reading books and is inseparable from Barney.

That would be a very expensive manicure session! You'd have to pay for counselling sessions for the Little Man, as well his father and mother!
