Mummy witnessed a couple of sweet moments where Mr Galen kept asking for Baba.
The first time was at Ah Neh's house. We were celebrating Mother's Day for Ah Neh and Daddy went to tabao 煮炒 from the S-11 across the street. Ah Neh was feeding Mr Galen his dinner and I was playing the role of the Clown, entertaining our little emperor. Mr Galen stopped numerous times, asking for Baba and pointing to the door. Mummy had to explain that Baba went to buy food, will be coming back soon. Mr Galen nodded and continued eating his food, waiting patiently for Baba to return home.
The second incident happened on a Saturday when Baba had to collect his car from the workshop after the car went kaput on the way to work one day. Mummy stayed home with Mr Galen and again, Mr Galen asked for Baba Baba and looked around for him. Mummy explained that Baba went to collect his car from the workshop. Mr Galen nodded his head after my explanation and continued playing with his toys. 5 minutes later he asked Mummy again. "Baba Baba". And Mummy repeated the explanation. This cycle went on for a couple of times before Baba finally came home and saved me from his endless "Baba Baba".
The third incident happens usually after Daddy left the room so that I can put Mr Galen to sleep at night. After Daddy exits the room, Mr Galen will keep pointing to the door and say "Baba". Tonight was special however. Just before he fell asleep tonight, he took out his pacifier and whispered something "Baba" which sounded very much like "我爱爸爸“ and after saying that, he promptly fell asleep within the next minute!
Such a Daddy's boy! Mummy's heart always melt when he asks for "Baba" like that. Mummy feels so glad and happy that Daddy has such a close bond with Mr Galen and Mr Galen is so lucky to have such a great Daddy!
