Happy 2.5 yrs old to Ian!

hhmm have been reading a blog of my sec sch fren who celebrates every 1/2 yr milestone of her kids...real tempted to get a cake for Ian as well just that he was away at po2's pl on this special day...might get a cake to celeb with this boy later! This is a 'borrowed' pic from jiu2's bday of the boy attempting to blow all of the candles...boy, he really loves the bday song...except he's now singing wo the word birthday so with the same melody he's singing Happy to you...happy to you and he will pretend play with his cooking set and will make sure mama and daddy sing and clap with him hahaa...then he will blow the 'candles' and then cut to make sure we enjoy the cake too hehee

This mth, we see Ian being really wanting to be with adult play....the last we went with ah mu and ah bah to SBG he was learning how to stop the ball (instead of calling the ball to stop while its still rolling) and then kick the ball....just on mon, he had the chance to play with charmaine jie2 (coz dayi who is the god ma brought her along for play at SBG during the sch hols) and Ian had a gd time with this big jie2....who never seemed too tired of playing kids' play frisbee with Ian who can barely toss the frisbee into the air.....but Ian is so game to try it with the jie2 and he learnt with all our instructions! He's pretty focused in learning things well and he doesn't seem to give up so easily hhmm

This is a little corner in SBG corner and we frequent it almost every Sun noon before going ah maa's pl coz the boy just love to feed the fishes....n of coz birds...never tired of it but he's getting more explorative! He's learning this game which we played so so long ago!

This little social being sure loves company and he can pretend play train ride with his dear toys...here's him at the end of the 'train' after lining his soft toys....last wk he went playground at po2's pl he actually wanted to make fren with this jie2 whom he din know....yaya he is a social being and this past wks he's been asking to go sch....wonder if its coz he saw the children having so much fun at the childcare under po2's block or he keep hearing seth gor2 going to sch....but each time mama says 'Ian goes to sch, mama cannot follow' then he will stop and say he wanna go po2's sch and mama will say 'Po2 cannot go as well' then he will forget abt it and go on his own play...still tossing whether we shld send him to sch coz we weren't keen initially since we are so aware of all the bad habits he will pick up at such age...yes yes...no matter what age he goes he's sure to pick them up but later exposure might be better?? hahaa so been giving lots of excuses like all schs are too far from our home for a lazy mama to bring him when it rains...lo and behold there is a new appletree opening just at the next block next yr....still thinking real hard whether we shld send him or wait till he's bigger that he will know what sch means and then no need all the teary cries at the initial wks??

well well for the time being, its a major milestone that Ian has come so far...he's been more inquisitive and been asking 'why?'...is it too early for kids to ask why?? hhhmm esp when mama's giving him some instructions and he will question 'why'? sigh....whenever in our younger days do we question so much! but having u at po2's pl helps to expose u to chinese....mama was quite surprised when Ian was calling 'mama, ni zai na li' last wk when he was out with daddy 1st since mama had to lock the door...was totally surprised with the phrase....coz he's always been speaking English coz daddy always forget to speak mandarin to him hehee....just delighted to see how our boy is growing!
