one and only

my nephew

Anan (meaning peace in Chinese) is my nephew. He's four years old now and pretty goodlooking. During this spring festival,my major job is to babysit him, including playing games with him, and watching tv, reading books,telling stories and taking care of emergences for him, when I was available. And always at this moment of year, at home I was the most available person.

He's most of time an angel, who likes every kind of vehicles. So no wonder he's got lots of vehicle presents for new year. These included meglev train, plane, transformer, train, bus, car and earth digging vehicle, bullet head etc. His favourite is a green train and his favourite game is to play the driver. While making the train sound,'wu-wu', he would impatiently check the ticket with me( no choice he kept pushing and pleasing), then annouce that departure time and destination, when checked by me. Between Hangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing ususally. And yes he's not safe at all, not only because he drives really too fast, at only three seconds between Beijing and Shanghai. But also he likes to make the train collapse, and crash with other trains or mountains, and set fire to explode and mini-bombs. But he clears every problem, if I expressed I was worried and not taking his train again. And then he very kindly reminds me to check every bag and suitcases( he definately uses the word, suitcase) before passenger get off. Then he keeps driving again, with me on board.


We are buddies. He's very adorable to me usually, like in the morning he would sneak into my room and then check with me. If I was still asleep he would sneak out quietly, but if he caught me watching TV already, he would call me up to have breakfast and then play with him. He likes to repeat. I like uncle, I don't like mama, papa and grandma, grandpa, I like uncle.I will be good to him. I like to sleep with uncle. Very sweet, isn't it?! But just a short while later, but when he came to me for the toilet emergence. I couldn't smile. I had to hold him and then rushed there immediately. Or else, his pants would go wet, so we had to change the whole set of three layers all at once.

He is a little devil too. Espcially when he wants new toys, toys of vehicles, he acts like erupting vocanic, with very hurting cryings, and tears. When he was scolded to get up from floors, or forced into clothes and shoes when we went outdoors. He even hit his parents and grandparents, even slapping their faces. Of course he got lots of beating afterwards too. And more crying. But in the end, it 's always the parents and grandparents to give in finally and sooth him.

He's the only child at our home. He has pretty good meterial life, but I guess he's really lonely mostly. He doesn't have anyone to play with him, equally. He's minded not to do this and that too much. But good thing is he is easy going and forgets quickly. I just hope he grows healthy, and happy freely every new day!
