So into stickers lately! Mummy splurged on a Sesame Street sticker book for me just now.. We were shopping at Great World. Hee

Hip hip hooray

15 Aug 2010 - I finally knew how to drink from my straw cup!

Out of the blue mummy clean my mag mag and gave me some water. I did not know how to draw in my breath and remembering what grandpa said about letting him blow bubbles first, mummy showed me how to blow bubbles to the water..I am amazed! Took the mag mag and start to try..
Mummy went to clean the dishes and daddy suddenly shouted "Mummy come take a look, Zach can drink from the straw cup already"
Mummy dropped everything and ran out! They sat there for 30 minutes watching me finish 1 full mag mag..keke

I did this in PlayClub last week.
I love it and wore it for a few days. =)


Mummy finally pinned this up to my wall of art!



Here I am having breakfast at St Regis during our staycation last week!

Budding Artist

New this month: A budding artist
Your toddler may surprise you now by drawing vertical and horizontal lines, and maybe even a circle, although scribbling still carries the day. These drawings may seem simple to you, but they're a sign that many aspects of your child's development are on track. Drawing with a crayon involves fine motor skills such as grasping and holding, as well as hand-eye coordination and imagination. If you can't recognize any straight lines in your toddler's scribbles or your child doesn't seem interested in drawing, it's too early to worry. It probably just means that your child is more focused on developing gross motor skills right now, such as walking, running, climbing stairs, and pushing and pulling toys and boxes.

I came across part of the article above from the weekly BabyCenter newsletter..Zach seems to be on track for this one cos he has shown great interest in drawing and last night we realised his grasping skill is really good! He holds the crayon like holding a pen and when I guide his hand to trace out 1, 2, 3 (start simple), his hand is flexible enough for me to guide! Still too early to gauge if he is right or left-handed cos he seems to be able to draw with both hands..hehe

WAY TO GO ZACH!

Shoes and counting

My shoes are taking up 3 rows of our shoe cabinet..I turned 20 month old today and I have 20 pairs of shoes since then.. It's a record that I am trying to break mummy's cos she has more than that in our shoe cabinet (see below)

Well, some of these shoes of mine are still too big and some no longer fit! Mummy tried on these shoes almost weekly to ensure that I can wear them without feeling too tight (else it will go to a waste as these shoes are 'branded' and 'expensive').

For the Love of Art

Zach's artwork is proudly displayed in our living room wall..

There is another glass 'wall' that we pasted all his artwork from his weekend classes at Julia Gabriel. He loves art session the most, not sure if it is getting his hand dirty that he loves or he has an artist flair like his grandpa or Aileen ah yi..cos mummy and daddy can't even draw a decent picture..haha

Engaging

I realised that Zach rarely mix around with other kids. No doubt he is sociable and not afraid of stranger but when I go out with my friends and their kids for playdates, Zach don't 'socialise' and always prefer to keep to himself or playing with my phone instead..

Look at him..distancing from his friends

Sitting far away - looking like a loner

So I have decided to embark on a quest to slowly phase him out of iPhone..can I?
