Time flies…my helpless little baby is now a cheeky and smart little boy.
- Talks very well. In fact he is constantly arguing with us, and in fact have started to tell white lies. Like when he farted, and we asked who farted, he’ll answer, “Gege.” Or he will do spoil something, and said “Gege did it.” poor gege.
- Is completely toilet trained since a 2 months ago. We started to let him sleep off diapers at night not long after he turned 2. Initially, we will have 1/2 wet accidents per week. But it is ok because I let him sleep on top of a waterproof sheet made from a layer of soft flannel and PUL fabric underneath. I bought the PUL fabric from US and the flannel from Kamdar. Got my mom to sew into a huge sheet for me. It was very useful. When he wets the bed, all i have to do is pull the sheet away, change him and continue sleeping. He shares the bed with Bryan but we do not need to disturb Bryan at all even when he wets the bed. Then starting about 2 months ago, the wet accidents stopped. He’ll wake us up when he wants to pee. Now, sometimes he can go through the whole night even without peeing. But we still let him sleep on top of the waterproof sheet. Just in case.
- Has very good motor skills. He is able to jump from a stool over to the sofa. Climbs all the way up to my first floor clinging to the stairs railings, feet off the stairs. One of his favorite game is - while I am seated on the bed, he’ll climb from my back and tumble heads over my shoulder onto my lap or mattress. Aiyo..he gives us heart attack all the time, but his balancing is very good, so he has not had any hard falls. *touch wood*. I told my dad that if he is a kampung kid, I may have to look for him up in the trees.
- Good hand/ wrist movement. He can play the magnet maze very well. He can hold the magnet pencil and trace the metal ball through the maze to the finishing line. I have one of the magnet toy currently but have just ordered 2 more online that will be arriving any day soon.
- Takes durians but loves cempedak. The first time I bought cempedak home, he ate more than me. He refused to leave the table until he is sure there is no more cempedak left. Hubb was very patient to pull the cempedak into small pieces and feed him to make sure that he don’t choke. And Dylan will scold hubb if hubb is too slow to feed him.
- Loves to sing, when he hears Justin Bieber’s Baby, he’ll say, “my favorite song .”
Had his first evaluation at school and below were some highlights:-
- Vocabulary – for english is progressing well. For Chinese it is actually excellent for his age.
- Communicates very well. Very inquisitive, asks a lot of question.
- Short attention span. Does not like flash cards.
- => But this contradicts with his behavior at home. He loves to do puzzles at home and can finish the entire set of 8 puzzles in one sitting. Sometimes he’ll play alone, taking each puzzle out, tumble out all the pieces then putting them back together. When he complete a puzzle, sometimes he will proudly exclaim, “I can do it. I can do it!” But at school, he showed little interest in puzzles.
- High self confidence. You can see from the example above. He thinks he can do ANYTHING!
- Is an audio learner. Has excellent listening skills *that’s why so chatty also kua,….*
- Motor skills is very good. Can walk, run, jump, hop, samersault very well, but cannot skip on alternate leg. Can only skip on one leg.
- Is getting spoiled by the teachers. Is a teachers’ pet, seldom get scolded & punished. Principle said gotta do something about this but the teacher said, “so cute,..how to punish?” *I totally agree, coz I also got no heart to punish him at home.
- Loves to dance but is shy to dance in front of everyone. Will dance and perform when he thinks no one else is watching.
- Loves to sing, but again only when no one is watching.
- Very observant, and kepo. Even when he is in the midst of playing a game he is aware of what’s happening around him.
- Very helpful. Will help the kids to put their clothes at the right place or fold them when they throw their clothes all over the place.
Dylan oh Dylan…We love you sooo much!
. But he did find one that he liked for less than RM10.
Daddy with his little darlings and their presents for daddy.
Bryan proudly showing off his “accomplishment.”
Proudly showing his personally hand written card for his daddy.
Daddy happily eating his breakfast. See the lil hand at the corner. The lil fella refused to stand next to his daddy and said that he wants to sit in HIS OWN SEAT. Also he was too busy digging into my box of cheese. He ate 4 slices of cheese that morning and almost nothing else. O.o
