Tay Rong Tian's growing up progress

My bb aka tian tian aka Princeton boy is coming 4 years old soon! 43months now, but he replied 4yrs old when people asked how old is he. He could tell a simple story now, by looking at a picture. He knows left hand, right hand, legs, and when always try to direct me when I'm driving (smart Alec). He is able to colour a full picture, within the lines, writing with dotting lines. But he still can't get a good grasp of a pencil i felt. It's OK, will practise more often with him.


He eats meat like chicken and pork now, but still prefer fish though. He loves steam egg most ~~ Chawanmushi. Last month when i weigh him, he was 17.8kg. Yesterday i weigh him again, he was 19kg!! Measured his height in school, and he was 103cm:) Glad that he had a balanced diet everyday, and he had very good appetite. Although he had 3 meals aday, but he still drinks formula milk. And he drink alot....... especially during evening and night time. 6-7 times, and 200ml each time. At his age, milk cannot substitute a meal, but can act as an additional drink. Just like an adult, after a meal, we still prefer a coffee. But in the middle of the night, he still wake up once or sometimes twice to drink milk:( It's tiring for me, and i admit it's my fault bcoz i did not stop him. Perhaps during daytime, he had no milk at all in school, that explained why he still need night feeding. hee...

He had fish oil and vit C every morning. DHA pill in the evening:) And this is boosting his learning and his immune system. Of course, too much of a good thing becomes bad. So must take in recommended amount. Princeton loves to eat apple and banana. He also likes oranges alot, be it in fruits or in juices!

Everyday before night time, hubby will read a book with Princeton boy. Tian enjoyed listening stories from his dad:) He will also read to daddy, and both of them will chat for an hour. There were a few times, they chatted until tian fall asleep. This had became a routine, and it's a very positive one! A very precious bonding moments for them. Bcoz tian used to stick with me most of the time, and now i could spend more time to accompany Paris. 

Both of us tried our best to shower our love and time for the lil Ps, as equally as we can. But i still will bring Princeton out more often than his sister. Usually Paris sleep earlier, Princeton is a night owl:p Anyway Princeton is older, of course I'll bring him out more often. But it's only during weekend supper that we went out without Paris. 

Yesterday when i picked up Princeton from school, the teacher as usual will feedback to me his behaviour and learning progress. Mrs Chandra told me that Princeton is eating vegetables now, and he began to like it. He started to eat those leaf but stems he doesn't like. She also add on that some of his friends do not like coloring, Princeton took the initiative to encourage them.

Then dunno how we chat until children born in jan feb march happened to be faster learner, and those later tends to lose out abit. But Mrs Chandra disagreed with this thinking. She said, all children learning ability depends on their skills and how fast and how much they can absorb. It has nothing to do with which month they are born. They might pick up slower in the first year, but second year onwards, everyone should be on par. She even cite a funny example, " next time when they go pri school, we cannot tell the principal, oh my child is born in dec, that's why slower." I laughed and nodded my head.

Princeton is still not very good in expressing. When only me and him alone,  he could do many things, and sometimes things that was unexpected. But when hubby or ah ma watched him, he said he don't know. There were afew times, when i taught him reading, he could read words like PIG, CAT, DOG, SHOES, FISH. I don't know if he only memorised the first letter word, C means CAT. I do hope to see him hit the milestone in reading next year.



Time to pick up my Prince, BYE!
