ABC

Never get enough talking about Evan.

Evan's speech is getting better and better. He definitely understand many many things, almost everything, including words in Bahasa. He can talk a few words, some are not really clear, but he was definitely trying to tell us something. Sometimes he talks to his thomas train, sometimes he talks to the ipod, or talks when he plays lego. He also can almost count 1-10.

Here are his words I can remember so far :
susu
mum
dad
titi = auntie
mimi = dummy
ink = drink,
pink
Apple
Pear
Kiss
Car
juice
shoes
ball
pool
ta = thomas (the tank engine)
potty
poo
pee
help
ta = thank you (in australian)
nite nite
i love you
eed = read
ook = book
close
door
cip = chip
nana = banana
ed = red
blue
green
eow = yellow
pepel = purple
black
two three four five six ten
eep = sleep
amb = lamb
nose
hos = house
in = chin
eek = cheek
hair
oup = soap
hat
cheese
Ease = please
more

and many many many many more!!!

There are two things tough,.... he still can not say his own name ! and he can not say "one"... so always missed number 'one' when counting.

Last night I caught him singing ABC together with Elmo when he watched a youtube video on ipod. And today I just realised that he knows almost all alphabets.

This video was recorded after singing and talking ABC many times and made a mess as usual.

Have fun with Auntie

Lil' sister has gone back home two weeks ago. There were some boring days.. but most of the days were lots of fun and exciting. Not that she helped me much with the house chores... but certainly helped in other bit and pieces, like taking photos (*grin*).

Evan also had fun with auntie. Last saturday he was still asking for 'titi'. That's how Evan called her: "titi", instead of auntie. :)

Hope she enjoyed her visit and will have opportunity to come back. There are still a lot more to see!

I and Evan are missing her a lot!!

See you again soon in Jakarta, titiii !

Simply Active

Updating his daily activity lately....

Started to understand to colour inside the shapes (yay!).

can't wait until he can sit and concentrate doing art and craft !

Started to get him used to the pool as the preparation of swimming lesson.

As the weather getting warmer, we got him a splash pool to play with every weekend.

and still going to the school every Tuesday and Thursday.

Here he is in his favorite toy at school... red car :)

coincidence or what ?

it's hard to believe... but it happened.

Yesterday I found a $20 note on the ground, lying nicely between plants at the corner of our front yard.

Last weekend, hubby found $20 note on the front yard when he was mowing the lawn.

It's very strange considering we never experience things like this before.

Is it by coincidence these notes flew to my front lawn because of the 'king money frog' i bought two weeks ago???


let's hope more dollars coming to our door from now on :)

Next Plan

First Santa

Evan had his first Christmas party at his school last week. I was more excited than him, mainly because it was my first school party with Evan! :)

Evan slept in that morning, so did I (of course ;p). We then frantically left the house in a hurry, and yes, I forgot to bring camera. :(

The school was actually in a bit of chaos when I got there. All children age 2-5 were running around in the outdoor area plus their parents/guardian scattered around. I had a little chat with one mum, then couldn't continue the conversation as each other kids' made a little drama. Her boy fell, and Evan pulled my hand. Not long after, we were entertained by a magician. Evan didn't want to sit with the other kids, so I ended up sitting between the kids on the floor whilst Evan sat on my lap (*sigh*). Evan laughed a lot at the magician's silly joke... but he didn't really understand the magic trick yet. However, he loved the balloons trick. It only last for 15 minutes, when then he played with my sandals, then his own sandals, then pulling things from my handbag (*sigh*). And the magician shows last for more than an hour!

When the show had finally over, we enjoyed sausages sizzles in a bread and bun, and cordial, and ice cream. Again, I didn't have a chance to talk to other parents.

Then time for Santa, which was a surprise (I didn't know that Santa will be there). So all the kids gathered and sit in front of Santa, and sit on Santa's lap one by one then receive a present. The room was so full with all kids and parents. I tried hard to make Evan listen and look at the Santa, and sit nicely with other kids. but he didn't care! Whilst other kids sit nicely waiting for their turn, Evan chose to go to his favorite corner which of course he familiar with, and played with toys there. So I waited until few kids had their turn, and until Evan bored with the toys. I was right...after about 10 minutes, he started to look around searching other thing to do. He started to look at Santa who talked to a boy on his lap.

Finally, Evan's turn. He was a bit shy but did not look scared. I said "Santa have balloons. go get them!" So much for a lie (i hate to lie - but sometimes I really have to). When he heard a word 'balloon'.. that's when he finally walked to Santa and wanted to sat on his lap. :)

And here's pictures I took with my hand phone camera.

He then excitedly opened the present right there. It was a book, which he like to have it read before bed now.

We went home soon after that. Exhausted......
