Tired Boy


Lately the weather was quite hot, so went to buy thicker curtains to stop the sunlight from coming in. Ben actually found this lovely red "hairy" chair and wanted to put on an apron to sit on it! Then he pretend to fall asleep. Yah...the funny things that our boy love to do.
Ben has been attending a Chinese playschool on top of his Hegeru. It is quite heavy in terms of cost since both will cost us RM800 per month! So will be stopping Hegeru soon since it is just an hour a week. Very expensive.
But in terms of what he can do, we are quite happy that he is currently adding Chinese words into his vocabulary. He can say in Mandarin - mouth, ear, nose and eyes. And in terms of recognition, he can recognise "ren", "pa pa" and "ma ma". But most importantly for us, both the Chinese playschool and Hegeru gives him exposure to other kids. We can see the difference in him as I am happy to see that he actually makes friends in his Chinese playschool. Both boys will shout "BYE BYE" to each other! :)...
In terms of letters - he can recognise capital letters but not small letters yet.
In terms of numbers - he can recognise up to 20. My target will be for him to recognise up to 100.
In terms of speaking - it is pretty clear. We are pretty surprised with his reasoning sometimes. Example today, house is undergoing renovations now and my husband asked whether he would like to help the 2 workers. And Ben replied, "No thank you as I am not a builder since I dont have tools!" Can you believe that???
Food - he is still a picky eater unfortunately. Keeping only to rice, sausages, chocolate cereal and anything sweet. However he seemed to prefer outside food. :(......
Milk - I have been trying hard to stop milk bottle for him since his tooth decay is really BADDDD. At first, I was expecting serious fight-back from him - shouting and crying, etc....but actually it was not that difficult at all. One has to be patience and get use to his screaming, etc...then divert his attention (sigh...tv). I should have known better and stop his milk bottle much earlier. I have been trying to replace milk into cup but not successful.
Behaviour - he is still very active boy. Running up and down. :)...I guess Ben will not be Ben if he stops running around. I guess those overseas trips will have to wait a while.
