Mommy's best friend

Richie has been becoming a good boy now...he's seldom cranky or demanding.
He's more understanding and becomes a good helper.

In the morning, he wants to take his 200cc milk and in the afternoon he takes 180cc milk
it's very good progress.
He also helps mommy when mommy asks him to put the rubbish into the bin or bring the dirty clothes to the laundry bin or even when mommy tells him it's time to eat
He knows where to get his bowl, his dining chair etc.

He's so happy when mommy gives him a task to complete. I guess he's proud of himself when mommy gives him a task, meaning that he thinks mommy trusts him that he could do as adult can do.
When he completes the task well, and mommy praises him, he becomes happier and gives mommy big smile.

In the morning, when he first wakes up, he will wake mommy up by taking and giving mommy's glasses to mommy to wear and asks mommy to open the door.
Then he goes to the kitchen and asks mommy to make milk for him.
While mommy cleaning the house, he will finish the milk. After that we have breakfast together.

When, mommy's doing cooking in the kitchen, Richie will play by himself and watch mommy
After mommy's job done, mommy will bath him and after that he will wait for mommy to take shower by watching TV
Then we went to playground together for playing and exploring, after that we go up and read the book or doing flashcard or other games.

It's part of our daily life activities where mommy can feel that Richie has become more mature. He's not only behave as a kid but also a best friend for mommy while daddy's out for working.

Sometimes mommy wondering, what 5 years later he will be, is he still caring and helping mommy like now hmmm hopefully he's grown up as a gentleman and caring for not only us but other people too.

Very proud of you son ! You are mommy's best friend

Camera Expressions

This is Richie's expressions when mommy said smile in camera

Toilet training in progress (pee)

Today mommy trains Richie again for toilet training (pee). This morning, mommy put training pant instead of diapers and mommy told him if you want to pee, you go toilet to pee and show him the toilet.
So when he played in the kitchen while mommy was cooking, he felt that he wanted to pee.
Since he couldn't talk yet, he just stood up and pulled up his shirt and wanted to pull down the pant.

Mommy saw this and asked him to run to the toilet to pee. But when we almost there,in front of the toilet he couldn't take it anymore and pee in the pant hehe...
Well, not too bad for the first day, at least he can feel and show that he wants to pee.

Tomorrow, we will train again then...
Good Job Boy !

Some words spoken

Another improvement for his speech...yeay....
he  could speak some words even though it's not correct yet but at least he understands and we could understand what he wants
And we patiently correct him and teach him more words

Ba bo - meaning balloon
Ku kuk - meaning the bird coming out from our cuckoo clock

ta ta - meaning tomato
mamam - meaning drink
ama - meaning oma
am - meaning om

u u a a - sound of monkey

Getting smart

After mom and dad came back from our trip, Richie is also getting smarter.
Now he doesn't want to be left behind if both of us go hmmm definitely this was the first and last trip without Richie hehe..
He also throws tantrum if he doesn't get what he wants sigh....
and he loves to play kiddy ride in the mall, he chooses the kiddy ride, asks the coin from us, insert the coin by himself and enjoy the ride
Well, at least we can keep him busy at mall while mommy shopping and the coin bank also useful to prolong his fun

Another good thing from him is he knows what to do before and after shower.
Before shower, he will get the towel from hanger and clothes from his drawer well, since the drawer is a bit up high so either mommy or oma help him
Then after shower he will put his dirty clothes to his laundry bin. Sometimes, after going back from work daddy also asks him to put daddy's dirty clothes into laundry bin. Indeed, he's a good helper

And now, whenever we go out, he wants to carry his own bag. Since it's heavy, he will pull it with his hand and doesn't want any help from us....so mommy and daddy decide to buy new trolley bag for him
Well, at least he knows that there's no helper at home and he's so independent right from the start.

Well done boy !

Happy 18 months old
