tOdaY ZaC tUrNs tWo!

Besides starting to show signs of the 'Terrible Two' stage, ZaC is developing in other areas. He is able to express himself in 3-words sentences and loves to describe things and actions. Sometimes he remembers what was described to him and repeat what he heard. When asked about his day in school and friends, he will talk excitedly about them. He also loves singing songs (learnt from school or from watching DVD at home) to himself. Daddy and Mummy caught him many times! He is able to sort out his mega blocks (short and long ones) and enjoy stacking them to form items. Mummy will be playing 'sorting games' with him soon! He is growing more independent, wanting to do things on his own e.g wearing and removing shoes, switching on the TV, fan etc.

ZaC has been falling sick since he started school, which is quite normal (PD says so). It doesn't help that he loves putting everything into his mouth, getting all the germs and viruses! Teacher feedbacked that he's a 'wanderer' - someone who loves roaming around the centre, even to the other classes! He cannot seem to sit still and listen to the teacher. But he picks up the songs that teacher taught him (he has been singing them at home). So, Mummy thinks he's an auditory learner - learning things primarily through listening. He always picks up words which Daddy & Mummy taught him and uses them (a few weeks later) in the correct context. Mummy sometimes wonder if she even taught him how to use those words. Hopefully, ZaC's attention span will increase as he grows up or he'll become a rascal in primary school!

GetTinG rEaDy fOr CNY

CNY is just around the corner and last weekend, Daddy & Mummy started decorating the house with ornaments and flowers. ZaC was very excited when he saw all the RED lanterns and decorations around the house. He went around admiring them and saying "Wah...!". He became very excited whenever he spotted something RED. He loves this vase of flowers the most, especially toying with the hanging ornaments.

Last weekend, ZaC also went to Chinatown and had a great time as his eyes feasted on all the RED ornaments and lanterns. He will call out "Pineapple lantern" or "Lantern" whenever he spots one (which are everywhere!).

Since he was a baby, ZaC has been watching a CNY VCD with jie-jies singing and dancing. This year, Daddy bought a new VCD for ZaC and he has been pestering Daddy & Mummy (at least once a day) to let him watch it!

CNY is definately ZaC's favourite festival!

ExpLoRatiOn

The curious little boy is feeling the mirror with his tummy and was surprised that it felt cold. His curiosity allows him to learn things but also resulted in bumps to his head and bruises on his limps. He wants to feel and touch everything, indoors and outdoors. It is tough keeping up with the little one!
