Updates!

He got scolded tonight by YT because he was playing switches while standing at the edge of the bed. After lights off, I asked, if he can play switches, he said, "No". Then I asked, who scolded you, "Papa".

Whined Dylan, "Handy Manny, bad bad show. Change channel!"
When he wants to go somewhere he would say, "I want go there here!"

I think Dylan has improved in his vocabulary and speech quite a bit. So we could understand him better. Just that his temper is still just as fiery as mine, which we can both improve on that!

Dylan's quick update

We spoke to Mrs Lim this morning. She mentioned that he has changed his behaviour. He listens better and tends to 'sit longer in the class'. Less opportunity to go to her office for her to babysit. Even if he cries in class, she mentioned that the duration is much shorter. The last time when he threw tantrums and she has him in his office was also to let the teachers have time off from him, because it's just NOT him alone who does the drama thing.

Yesterday I saw double lid on his right eye. Finally his eyes look more symmetrical now. :P

Red eye

We brought him to the dr a couple of days back. Willing went up the weighing scale and also took his height.  Weight was 14.9kg and height oh well, think about 90cm (from gauge). So all's well. There's a little red tinge on his eye. So we came back with some eye drops. I did some sumo wrestling to pin him down and drop the eye drop onto him. Eyes SHUT really really tight and course Dylan screaming away. So I drop the a few drops hoping somehow they'll get into his eyes. When he reopens his eyes the drops just went upwards onto his eye lashes. Bleah.. just hope the drops did get in and that he'll recover from the redness soon!

First post of 2012

Yesterday Dylan blurted 'never ever' on the 1st day of school in 2012. Not sure why he said that I was still groggy when I heard that.

As the boys were entering the gate, Dylan said, "I don't want office, I want breakfast". I think he had enough of me threatening him to send him to Mrs Lim office during the naughty times over the weekend. It was hillarious when I heard that. Perhaps it is his resolution for this year not to go to Mrs Lim office.

It was yesterday, for the 1st time, my kid had a lollipop in the house.

4 words sentence today - "I like this one" pointing at a bowl of soup
New word "Tawau tree" which is Christmas tree. Not too sure how he ended up with Tawau tree... :)
He loves to parrot after anyone these days. Love it when he says something wrong and with the sound effect of Ooo Ooo. :P

Just a quick one, Dylan said, "I love soup" slurping down Ah Ma's lotus root soup during dinner yesterday. Nice!

Parents/Teachers conference

PTC for Dylan was with the principal, Mrs Lim, Tr Florence and Chen laoshi. We sat there for almost an hour to speak about this kid. The teachers reassured us that he's getting better these days. They were saying that in comparison to other kids, Dylan takes a longer while to adapt to rules and regulations and he's just getting the message that there are rules to follow. Back in infant care, he is allowed to auto roam and do his own thing. In PG, he barely can sit down for 10seconds and always moving around disturbing others. He is also climbing onto the shelves, taking out toys and messing around. Only recently he has learnt through reward method that if he keeps the toys, he gets milk or food. So, I guess he's really just getting there... Apparently in school, when he pooped, he would declare to teacher that he had pooped, head over to his bag and grab the diapers. But at home, I would have to wrestle with him to get him changed! And in school, he would bring Chen laoshi's water bottle to her to drink during water time, and bring HER slippers to laoshi during outdoor activities! I almost fell off my chair when I heard this. It IS really UNREAL!
