Surprisingly, this past 1 mth seems so long....it seems like Ian has grown quite abit in this past 1 mth....now he's more independent, he can be left to play on his own and even left in the care of others (eg Sun Sch) and often or not, seen loitering during shopping trips....hhhmm often he's the one doing shopping...there was once we were in a Nike shop checking out shoes for him and there was a pair we were keen but it wasn't his size, he insisted taking off his shoes and wearing that pair...the salesgirl was at the corner laughing at this boy coz he placed his own old shoes on the rack....insisting to wear the new pair...since then, we never dared to bring him to enter shoe shop coz it always end up having to pull him out from the shop
He's also a little helper these days...every morning he will help mama to pull the comforter and make the bed when we wake up....he will even fuss if mama did the bed wo his help sigh and he has to throw his own diaper...there was once mama threw away and he fussed for so so long....guess he's old enough to do some bit of these household chores....he most wilingly will help u coz he knows there is a thank you word as a reward....and he will point to where mama is supposed to keep some things coz he rem where they were kept....
we thank God as Ian is never a fussy eater....except for carrots, pumpkin, potatoes...he's fine with any food he even took a pc of raw salmon when we visited a Jap restaurant this mth....he seemed fine except for his infrequent pooing so we gather its due to his molar not fully grown yet...he enjoys feeding himself and from the clip, he's getting better at feeding himself as the mess gets lesser hehee...we just wonder if he's gonna be left or right handed coz he seems to be able to use both hands to feed....well guess a little of genes from both parents huh
We are often awed by his memory power....he can rem things quite well....even aft a night's sleep, he can recall the things that happened the previous nite....and lately he has been singing a fish song taught by his jiu-mu that goes something like 'all the fishes in the water, swimming in the water, bubble and splash!' he just loves the part to say bubble and splash! He can sing before he sleeps and when he's in the car....he is just amused by the song....and for places we have been before, he would instruct us how to go and turn to get to the place and even anticipate what activity he was gonna do....just wondering how to tap on his memory power
He's also quite gd with his balancing as we would recall he would be able to squat on his legs for a gd long time when he was real young...barely evening walking yet...and now he loves to try thrilling balancing acts in playground...at home, he loves to stand on daddy's back on the bed...and then falling off and bouncing on the bed....he also loves falling back on the sofa....guess he's just active on his own...lately he has learnt to run so we are getting more careful esp when he doesn't like to hold our hands and walk....well he still fusses abt walking sometimes and we are learning to not to give in but surprisingly he only makes requests to us coz recently we were out with dayi and he was fine to walk with dayi as he was told to walk on his own and so we guess he might be just be more ok to walk with pple he dun hold hands with so often...the other person he loves to hold hand with is Seth gor2....he will want to follow where this boy boy is going
We are just glad this boy is growing well and he's happy with his childhood as often in this comparison obsessed society....pple are asking why dun send him to classes when we think ought to be enjoying his childhood and these classes can wait...recently read a book on Parenting: from surviving to thriving...its a reminder that this child is specially wrapped for us...indeed we wanna thank God for this special bundle of joy...tho it can be tough to discipline him, we know we are doing this so that he can be better shaped for God's use....
