This month was a very bad month for A as he was sick, recovered, sick again and now recovering from his flu! It pains me to see him eat a lot of medicine everyday! It seems that he always get flu this time of the year! See how we coped last year -
2011 and the year before last year -
2010!
It didn't help that the childcare centre had cases of HFMD. I kept A at home. Fortunately, DC's father was there to help out for the past 3 weeks!
He enjoyed his cars so much that DC bought more expressways and carparks for him! We also got him two taxis (comfort cab and citicab) and a SBSTransit bus. He called the cabs "Marymount" now.
He lined his cars up side by side and in twos sometimes. He moved on and lined iphones, keys, shoes and tissue boxes side by side! Tissue box was his latest game. It was amazing how he remembered where he took the boxes of different designs and brands from and could put them all back in the same place!
He liked to demand that the room doors be opened or shut and the room lights be switched on or off whenever he felt like. His fingers got hurt once during one of the plays by his grandfather but that, surprisingly did not stop him from playing this little command game! Instead, he played smart now and withdraw his hands and moved further away when he was giving the orders, ha!
He liked playing with soft toys, ha of all things! He fed the "Zhuzhu" (pig) and talked to the "Papa Bear", "Aaron's Bear" and "Meimei Bear" (or Baby Bear) and today, when we visited the pd, he told us to try to prevent him from getting into contact with the toys. Ohhh, time for a cleanup!
I bought a new plaything called "PlayFoam" and it caught his attention for quite a while. It was an alternative to the "PlayDoh" and when he was sick of rolling them, he created new ways to play with them, e.g. sticking them on the door and to put them in his mouth!
He started telling me when he was peeing and I was wondering whether I should start him on toilet training?!
We started giving him fresh milk regularly now, starting last week in the hope that it will not cause A constipation as much as drinking powdered milk did.
His sister coughed badly this month and required the nebuliser. A hated the nebuliser but interestingly liked to see his sister being what we called "nu-nu"! He also loved wearing masks! We bought the kid's masks but A rejected the kid's mask and wanted to wear the same masks as us! His sister hated the medicine. I saw A encouraged B telling him that medicine is nice!
Whenever we came home, he, who understood the procedures very well, would asked us to do the things that we normally did (e.g. asking us to change, eat, shower, etc). I taught him to greet me "Nite Nite" whenever he was sleeping and We introduced puffs to his sister and he loved to feed his sister! :)
He went to some outdoor places too even though he was sick. :P We brought him to the
park next door and the zoo, both which he enjoyed very much. He walked a lot too, this was something that he refused to do! He's really grown up (both mentally and physically - taller and heavier now)! I'm so proud of him!
