Jibber Jabber

It's so cute to see the little one express himself. He can articulate what he likes and does not like ("I like it. I no like it!") and is sometimes crafty enough to say he does not like something (eg, Scott's cod liver oil) and ask for something else that he likes (multivitamin gummies). But give him the cod liver oil anyway, and he'll take it. Haha. 

He also says "hungry" and can tell you what he wants to eat "oats, eggs, bread". He has a great imagination and will put a ball in a flower pot and hold it up to you and tell you that it's ice cream. And I love how his dad encourages him by changing different coloured balls and asking him what the different flavours are. 

He can sing quite a few songs too. Pearly Shells and Tiny Bubbles aren't your typical bedtime lullabies, but are songs that his lola has been singing to him since he was a little bub and now he sings along, and can even request if he wants you to sing it to him. 

We also watch a fair bit of Super Simple Song videos, and he can sing a long to quite a number of their songs. And if he doesn't like what he is watching? "Change!"

These days, he describes what's going on pretty well. "Mama go office", "Daddy outside", "Nana sleeping". And sometimes he can get pretty detailed too. "AC blue car where?" "Put orange donut inside".

One day, +3 was playing with him and gave him 5 coins. Later on he only gave him 3 coins, and the little one actually reminded his dad "some more?" until he handed over the other 2 coins.  Awesome memory. 

We got a letter in the school communications book inviting us for our first ever Parent-Teacher Conference,  and I have to say I'm really excited. It's only been 4-5 months and already we can see how much he has developed, grown and learnt.
