Princeton's progress @ 25months 16days

Princeton is turning 26months soon. Today i received the Activity File from the school. Every 2weeks, the school will update us the progress of the child, and the varies activities that they had been doing.

The form teacher would also update me verbally on how Princeton behaved n how he coped in school. What new things have he learnt... Today, the other class teacher told me, "Your boy is our school Prince ah, 我们的小王子！" I felt abit embarrassed, thought tian did something wrong. After that, the form teacher said, 他是个人见人爱的小王子。。。I smiled and said thank you for taking care of Princeton. This is something that brightened up my day, whenever i heard teacher praised him.

I realized that tian behaved well in school, and badly at home :( Although i hoped teachers will take good care of him, but at the same time, i hoped the teachers would not pampered him. Coz there were a few times, i saw the rest of the children were sitting on the floor, but my boy was sitting on the teacher's lap!!! Everytime when i peeped at them during lesson, Princeton would be sitting very near to his favourite teacher. hmm.....

Everytime when i picked him up from school, i would try to ask the teacher, what did he learn today (if i can rem). Yesterday, teacher told me they were learning colours. Once i got home, i tried to recall his memory and taught him again. I did tat this evening again, although tian was rather tired, he tired to entertain me abit:p

Princeton could identified/point out several objects n ppl. He loves looking at photo album, and i found that its a good way of teaching him. Beside us, he could point out 爷爷，奶奶，阿姨，阿 tio,老chek (uncle William),老sim (aunt sharon), Candice 阿姨，and even my cousins, 舅舅！Princeton could identified 2 of his friend's name as well. Oh ya... and one more, Aunty MAY! He is still learning uncle bong, as he don't see him that often. Tian was mixed up between didi jaden and didi delroy:( He thought too many didi lol.)

I brought different types of dvd cartoons for him, so as to let him know the different cartoon characters. He loves Barney, and of course he could point who is baby bop n BJ too. He likes Saseme Streets, and besides Elmo, he knows big bird, cookie monster and even Oscar! I enhanced the above by buying their sticker books, and toys. Now i am introducing Winnie The Pooh. But i couldn't find any of the dvds yet...

As for Princeton speech learning... he could call "yeh yeh" , my father inlaw was soooooooo happy!! Princeton could call daddy as dada, he could say bird and goat. Hmm.... tats all. He couldnt call mummy :( sob sob....

I tried to improve on his attention span too. Like asking him to switch on/off the fan, to throw his dirty clothes/towels on the bathtub, to bring my handphone from the bedroom to the living room. I kept telling him to do things, so that he could follow, and this can makes his attention span longer.

But Princeton is getting out of hand during meal times. If there is only one dish, eg fried rice, he will quietly finished his rice. But if there are afew dishes like, fish, tofu, vege, egg, chicken etc. He would choose wat he wants to eat. Then in the end, make a mess out of the table. He no longer needs to be fed. He wanna eat by himself. We could assist him, but we are not allowed to touch his spoon.

He became very choosy towards his clothing too. In the past, whatever i wore for him, he would just 静静得穿。Now, he no longer will 笨笨地let me wear any clothes on him already. I need to shortlist afew, then he choose :( Same goes to dvd, he opened the drawer, and took out the dvd that he wants to see. Then put into the dvd player himself. Sometimes he likes to skip chapters, coz he only likes to see 主角，don't like to see 配角...

We are planning another Zoo trip. Princeton is an animal lover, i guessed. But too bad i am not, hehe.... The last time we brought him to the Zoo, he could hardly enjoyed the animal show. Now that he knows the different types of animals, i would really love to bring him there once again!
