Vai : 19 months
Some quick updates on our little guy:
– Recognises the alphabets ‘O’, ‘E’, and ‘U’ and says them out loud especially when I write them out on the doodle board
– Still sometimes likes to lie on the floor ‘on impulse’! (like, in the middle of a crowded shopping centre!). Thank goodness he doesn’t have any skin allergies (so far!)
– Can say 2 or 3 words together sometimes. Like, ‘Uh-oh Mommy, bike!’ or ‘Truck, ga ada!’ (read: truck, not here!)
– His favourite Bible story role-play (he’d act it out with Anya): the David and Goliath scene
– Drinks about 600ml of milk each day (and STILL refuses to be weaned off breastfeeding! The duration and frequency of feeding is less than before though)
– Likes to frown when showing his unhappiness about something (and whenever he does it, I reckon he looks like a little old man! Hehe)
– Overall, I think he’s a rather ‘animated’ and ‘expressive’ little boy
When he dances, he REALLY moves and grooves. When he’s excited about something, his face and body language shows it all (on top of saying ‘UH! UH! UH! enthusiastically!).
And when he’s unhappy, well … he makes it very obvious too, like… by choosing to stand still and refusing to budge, lying face down on the floor or the common old trick of crying and kicking away (while being carried by Mom or Dad).
– And last but not least, he’s getting more and more assertive, as well as protective of his toys.
Regardless of my consistent reminders, he’s somehow not into sharing his toys with friends (though he’s not as possessive when it comes to sharing his stuff with Anya).
If he puts his toys on the floor in front of him, then a friend comes and ‘shows interest’ in them, he’d most likely frown, say ‘HEY!’, quickly grab his toys and hold them close. If his friend insists on taking the toys from his hands, you’d soon see a tug of war scene between these little persons with some angry sound effects too! Afterwards, he can even (though not all the time, phew!) look the other way and throw the toy to the floor!
*shakes head*
Yes yes. Things are definitely getting more challenging when it comes to me raising the kids nowadays!
