counting in Chinese

One day in the car on the way home, I heard Isaac talking to himself in a very clear Chinese tone counting numbers from 1 to 10, followed by "Chicken!" I so wish I had recorded that. Then laughed at us both. I thought I should really correct him as Chinese and Chicken are completely unrelated. We thought was hilarious though.

He loves singing and now can sing  the whole twinkle twinkle little star song. Plus a pop song called " I will wait" by Mumford and Sons which is played on the radio at the moment. Not the whole song, just one line" I will wait and I will wait for you" . This is very funny.

Leonard  is one of his fav app on Ipad now since I bought him the full app. He used to like the free trial, now he loves the whole app. it is funny but not that educational.

A boy full of imagination

Another 2 more moths, my little man will turn to 2!How exciting. I have noticed recently that his imagination has reached another level!

Yesterday we took him to the swimming pool and the life guard gave us a board for the kid. As soon as he sees it, he started pushing it along and saying " ship"!  I thought I must write these precious moments down before we can't remember anything.

He is also very good at 26 letters now and loves singing and dancing. We often have music playing in the car and he would try his best to follow the lyrics. Especially the last few words of a line , he will definitely catch that. It really cracks me up. 

One day on the way home in the car, it must have been when he just learnt the letters, he actually read out the letters on the signage! We were both shocked as it just came out of nowhere. Now he even reads the road sign on the ground upside down!. I'm not to be exaggerating or anything, but I think this boy really has something going for him. Our job is to ensure he grows up that way not only on the intelligence (IQ) side but also the emotional side ( EQ). 

Love you lots son!
