The little fella is sure growing up fast. Now he does not look as baby-ish anymore though I still love to cuddle him and sniff him. Often he says that he is ‘big boy’ :-). He has passed the phase of “what’s that sound?” and now he is in the “where?” phase.  He is a very inquisitive boy and learns a lot through observations and by example. I went with him to the Childrens’ Garden at the Botanical Gardens last week. He definitely liked it and enjoyed exploring the surroundings. What I found interesting was that when he came to the huge water play area, he said ” I want to sit here and watch.” instead of going to play with the water. He was quite happy to go touch the water shooting out of the jets but he did not really want to go play in the water. Found it strange because I thought most kids would have rushed into the water but not our little fella here. I think he is just more cautious and happy to observe first till he is really sure of what lies ahead. Hmm…perhaps this is already an indication of what he is like as a person. He is also a rather shy boy or rather he takes quite a long while to warm up to a person he is not familar with and/or a new place. He can be very quiet but once he warms up, there is no stopping him.

 I think he is developing very fast in terms of language abilities. For a boy of 2, I think he speaks pretty well and has quite a wide vocab. Sometimes, he says things that surprises us too. He can hold a conversation too. Can string words together to basically tell us about his day in school. Now he is picking up some Mandarin too from his lao shi. Though it still sounds funny, I reckon

My little bb is growing up……
