As requested, here is my list:
Do Again
- Put him in school as opposed to being home with maid/grandparents
- Read to him right from birth though he may not respond
- Try different foods with him so that he will not be picky about food
Do Differently
- Keep him in the cot, move him to his own room earlier
- Self-feed earlier
- Bottle-feed earlier
Think we are really blessed cos he was a relatively easy baby to take care. Was pretty fuss-free and had no mega problems with all. Of course it was was tiring the first couple of months but at least it was not difficult. I actually much prefer and enjoy it now when the little fella is a little more grown up and can interact better. I like talking to him. Of course, the difficult thing now managing his tantrums and disciplining so that he does not grow up ill-disciplined. I have always liked the mission statement of St Andrew’s School which is “From boys to men, men of grace, polish, wisdom and stature, in favour with God and man.” I used to see it when on the expressway on the wall of the school building. Always thought that it is so nice. And that is something that I want for the little fella to.. to be a man of grace and polish.
