Smart Bri Bri

Bri Bri is getting smarter and smarter. Thank God for that but occasionally, he uses his brain to try to be naughty. lol. Yesterday during lunch time when my maid was feeding him, he was sitting on his high chair and he was kicking her with his leg. I scolded him and I thought he had stopped.

I was sitting on his left side and couldn't see his right leg. He somehow knew I couldn't see his right leg and while his left leg has stopped kicking, his right leg was still kicking her! How smart is he? Oh my, the tricks that he can come up with! Only when I warned him that I was going to cane him did he stop kicking.

He also follows more instructions very well now and one of the things we like to ask him to do is to get tissue paper for us. lol. Then he would wait for us to finish using the tissue and throw the tissue for us. It's really funny to see him running to the dustbin to throw the tissue away. One day, he even threw his handkerchief in the dustbin. lol

He also imitates more actions and words from the cartoons he sees. One day, last week when he was watching Little Einsteins, he imitated them and said "zig zag, zig zag, up down, up down, duck duck." He also made animal sounds like the sound of the elephant when he saw it on the Mickey Mouse show. In fact, he can make a better elephant sound than me! :)

Yes, my Bri Bri is getting smarter day by day and I thank God for that.

Bri Bri and his alphabets

I have been down with flu and bad cough for the last 2 weeks :( Still haven't fully recovered but getting better. My mom has been spending more time with Bri Bri and have taught him more alphabets. Bri Bri is getting quite good recognizing his alphabets nowadays :)

When he was very young, he already knows the letter "O" and "A" which are his favourites. Now he knows the letter B, M, F, R, V and a few others as well. He can recognize all the alphabets and when you ask him where is a certain letter, he can point it out to you straight away. He can also say "buh" for ball and "mmm" for M. He has a wooden puzzle of alphabets and he knows which letter goes exactly where. He gets all of them right :) I'm so proud of him that he is understanding more and learning quite fast.

He has also mastered several other things like learning how to ride his tricycle, playing with certain toy puzzle correctly and keeping his toys when told (well not all the time). He is also following more actions and instructions in music class and is being more cooperative now. Also I've tried playing some computer games with him on a few occasions and I was pleasantly surprised that he could follow them. Especially this game in the "Big Big World" where you have to choose the correct shapes from 3 different clouds. Well, now he gets about 90% of it right most of the time :) Here is a link of the game http://pbskids.org/bigbigworld/home.html?externalPuppet=snook&externalAddRoom=none&action=game

Bri Bri certainly is growing up very fast :)

Mummy not well :(

I've been down with flu, sore throat, cough and fever since yesterday. I woke up with a sore throat and by afternoon, just felt like sleeping and not doing anything else. I've have distanced myself from Bri Bri so that I would not infect him. He slept with Por Por last night and will be sleeping with her again tonight. After taking the drowsy flu medication, I've been sleeping a lot! Sorry Bri Bri, mummy can't play with you yet. Can't hug hug and kiss kiss :( Can't sleep with you at night. Bri Bri has been blowing kisses to me and saying bye bye to me many times today. lol. I could only blow him kisses from a distance. Hopefully I can get well soon so I can shower him with hugs and kisses again.
