Copying - talking and talking

Approaching 21st month, his brain is somehow working well for speaking...
Richie likes to copy what mommy or daddy say and talks much...
Of course mommy and daddy are so happy...finally Richie is willing to copy and talk hehehe...
Now, he's slowly able to differentiate vehicles. Last time, those with wheels were called car....now he can say bus, bike, truck even though it's not clear yet...only mommy and God knows what he's talking about haha...

And he could talk oma, opa, cece, koko, baby besides mama and papa...
Sometimes he could say 2 words to make a simple sentence...for eg..opa bobok when he watched the TV
Richie can say mamam, mimik, kropok, nat nat (donat), anggur, yakult, yoghurt, berry (strawberry), poppop (lollipop), cherries, klat (coklat), cake, cookies, bakpau, nood (noodle), milk, carrot and many more...
can't remember hehe

Well, mommy and daddy are really happy to see his great improvement these few days...

Now, mommy understands, when the kid is ready to talk, he will talk by himself...

Well done boy !

Mommy and Daddy are really proud of you !

Eating Ice Cream

It was a hot day, so after he woke up from afternoon nap, mommy gave him mini cornetto vanilla flavour.

Reading the book and eating lollipop

This is the second time, mommy borrowed some books from public library. And this time round, mommy only borrowed 4 books.
And he likes only 1 book most which the title is My Birthday Cake.
Mommy reads him this book almost everyday before his afternoon nap. And he understands the story as well as he can point and repeat some words especially when it relates with food haha...
So this afternoon, mommy gave him a lollipop to make the story comes alive.

He likes the lollipop and enjoys reading the book hehe...

Eating yoghurt by himself

Mommy wants to test him whether he can self feed by himself, so mommy gives him a try by eating yoghurt.
And he can do it properly of course with a little bit mess here and there but Richie can hold the spoon properly and can put it into the mouth well too.

Well done boy !

Little Reader

2 days ago, mommy decided to put some of his books down, meaning within his reach.
Guess, what he's doing ??
He's so excited, now if mommy does something and can't play with him, he will take his books and flip the books by himself.
Of course after that, he will make a mess, but still he's very interested in reading the book

When mommy finishes doing chores and accompanies him, he always asks mommy to read the same book, his favorite ones : Dibo book, words book, mickey mouse hehe

So yesterday, mommy applied library card for him, and it's free since Richie's a Singaporean and guess...
he's so excited in the library, he picked some books and gave it to mommy and mommy could see he's so happy to see so many books in the library

Mommy borrowed 6 books, mostly nursery rhymes books that he's familiar with...

favorite books

read a book by himself

tired after reading many books

Sous Chef Richie

This morning, mommy wanted to make a soup and Richie's been cranky 'cos boring watching TV and been wandering around kitchen and bedroom so mommy decided to let him take a part in cooking.
Mommy cut the vegetables and prepare the stock and Richie just put the cut vegies into the pot.
So here's some pictures and videos
Well done boy !

Richie's good points

20 months have past and mommy could see Richie's good points

1. Strong willed
He has strong willed, I would say this gen comes from mommy haha...
If he wants to get or do something and nobody helps him, he will do it by himself with any cost

2. Cooperative
Even though he has strong willed but he's not stubborn. He's pretty cooperative when mommy or daddy tells him do and don't. Of course if he's sleepy, he will be very cranky

3. Easy Going
He's not the type that like to keep the grudge, if mommy or daddy scolds him 'cos of something he's not supposed to do, he will smile at us first hmmm making us can't scold him anymore

4. Independent
Perhaps because we stay alone without any helper, he becomes more independent. If he wants to get something within his reach, he will do it by himself

5. Friendly
He likes to smile, greet, wave bye-bye to strangers...even though he has strangers anxiety but he's not shy

6. Clean Freak
It also comes from mommy's habit, mommy's a cleaning freak and so is Richie
Whenever he sees a bit of paper or small floret of brocolli fall down, he will pick them and throw it into the bin

It's about $$$ again

Well, mommy just want to write daddy's analysis after observing how Richie handles money.


1. Smart Investor
Whenever mommy or daddy gives him a coin, he will not anyhow use the coin to play kiddy ride.
He will carefully choose the kiddy ride, and of course his favorite one is Barney and Friends. But when he sees the machine that can give him something in return for eg, sweets, toys, he will insert the coin promptly.
And voila, he almost gets toys every time he plays the ping pong ball machines.
In conclusion, he prefers to invest coin to something that can give him objective return not only pleasure

2. Generous buddy
He likes to give offering during the mass, whenever mommy gives him a coin to put into the offering bag, he's so excited and like yesterday when we attended mass, mommy already gave him a coin and he put it into the bag. Then he asked a coin again to put into the bag, unfortunately the warden was walking past us pretty fast and he wanted to catch the warden by running into the back but...still can't catch the warden
Poor boy !

3. Safe player
Even though he's pretty generous with mass offering, he doesn't like to give coin to people who want to sneak his coin. It happened when another boy's hand is closing to his coin and he suddenly take and hide the coin away haha...but if you ask him nicely, he will give it to you for sure...

4. Not greedy
Another good point is he's not greedy, when he hold 20 cent coin and then machine didn't accept that, mommy gave him another coin and he always returned 20 cent coin that he had.
And this is another event, when mommy's friend gave him a coin to be inserted into kiddy ride machine for her daughter. He didn't take and keep the coin by himself, instead he inserted the coin into machine and felt happy when he saw his little girlfriend playing the kiddy ride before him

Well done son ! Even though you didn't understand much about money but mommy and daddy believe that you will be able to handle your money in the future
