Another craft activity which ZaC loves! He loves to squeeze, roll & squash the dough into all shapes and sizes. His imagination runs wild while playing with dough. One moment, he made a cake & the next, he has a long train! He loves the colour green too (just like Mummy!). He will pick the green paint, green dough, green marker, green crayon, green underwear, green shirt.....everything has to be green for him!

August has been a tough month for ZaC. First, he fell & then he contracted HFMD. Luckily, his HMFD wasn't full-blown. Except for a few ulcers in his mouth, ZaC did not suffer any discomfort. After he emerged from these 2 'ordeals', ZaC seemed to have grown up more.

First, it was easy to toilet-train him. Daddy & Mummy started letting ZaC go 'diaper-free' during the long National Day weekend. Except for a few accidents on the first day, ZaC had no problem communicating his desire to visit the toilet.

Second, ZaC started to recognise letters around him. Out of the blue one day, he told Mummy, " I see an A there!" Mummy has been teaching ZaC about A, B & C for the past 2 months. From previous experience, Mummy took her time to show him these 3 letters from the chart. ZaC also loves watching the 'Alphabet Jungle' Sesame Street VCD. There was no response from ZaC until recently. He also recognises the letter 'C'. Now, he looks at brochures, boxes, signs, etc and will point out the letters 'A' & 'C' to Mummy correctly. Another 24 letters to go, ZaC!

tHe SpiRit oF YOG

ZaC spent some time watching the YOG games on TV with Daddy & Mummy over the weekend. He was introduced to some sports which really inspired him. So he had some sporty fun with Daddy! He loves watching diving, swimming, hurdles, gymnastics & javelin! Watching all the sports events brought memories of his school's Sports Day & he kept asking Daddy to bring him to Sports Day!

Under the influence of Mummy, ZaC is slowly picking up art. He loves drawing with his new set of wax jumbo crayons (which are mess-free as compared to oil pastels!). He requests to draw with crayons and can spend up to 30mins just doodling away!

From the simple "What is this" questions & the ocassional "Why" questions, ZaC has started asking "Where" questions recently. Whenever Mummy tells him about something on the road or in a distance, curious ZaC will asked "Where?". Soon, he will move on to asking more complex questions...Daddy & Mummy may be scratching heads just to answer him!

HaVinG fUn!

ZaC can giggle & laugh heartily over the most simple things - Daddy's silly expressions, Mummy's animated actions, etc. This time, Mummy placed a fruit packaging over his head & he had lots of fun with it in front of the mirror. He peeps at himself in the mirror and runs away giggling hard, as if he was playing with another person on the other side. He probably enjoyed this fruit packaging more than his other toys!
