I have read some articles as well as attended seminar about parenting that social skills are developed naturally when kid's age around 3 years old. Of course if parents want to push the kid to have social skill faster it could be done, by sending them in school earlier but so what ???
So I let him grow and develop the skill naturally and it's beautiful to see the nature takes course
When I or his daddy bring him to playground, he will prefer to play with other kids, and like in this occasion when he brought his bike into playground, he made friend with older kids and in response the older kid help him to learn bike. And for few minutes only, he could ride bike on his own..The power of peer learning !
The school ask for recent photo passport for Birthday chart
Mommy brought Richie to the nearby studio shop and he without fail smiles widely in front of the camera
Richie becomes more sporty boy than artistic boy.
He shows more interest in sport and learns very fast.
His favorite ones are bowling, soccer, swimming, baseball and even punching hehehe...
He learns at first from Wii, then opa bought him bowling pints and balls and he loves it.
Here's video of him doing bowling like professional bowler
My big boy is no longer baby anymore, he's ready to become koko now.
Mommy watches him grow every day and becomes more mature and independent.
When mommy told Richie that soon he will be come koko and has meme/didi on the way, he's so excited.
Everyday, he told me that he wants to hug baby by hugging mommy.
Sometimes, he asks me to see baby inside my tummy hehe..and when I open my shirt to show him his tummy, he thought the baby could see from my belly button.
He whispers I love you baby :)
Not only that, he also tells the world that he's soon becomes koko.
Everytime he meets our friends, he said that mommy's tummy has baby, Richie will sleep with baby in his room.
Richie sleeps below and baby sleeps in the top.
Richie will feed the baby with milk, kiss him/her when he/she cries etc etc....
I guess he's very very excited with new addition in our family.
He's no longer selfish like he used to be.
Thanks to Pingu, I would say, his favorite show.
He learns to baby sit from Pingu, here's the video of his favorite show
After attending chinese class for about 6 months plus.
Richie managed to recognize and read 56 chinese characters and sang 3 mandarin songs ( so far I've heard at home)
Last Sunday, mommy enrolled Richie to swimming trial lesson with Aqua Duck @ Turf City.
It's free trial and Richie was so excited and looking forward for the lesson.
On Sunday afternoon, it's heavy rain so mommy though it may be canceled but alas around 2.30pm the rain stopped and it's just nice. The weather was not so hot and cooling.
The pool was heated pool so it's not cool and just nice
Richie was so excited to swim and couldn't wait.
Daddy accompanied him to swim with other 3 girls and their parents too.
Richie was very brave, eventhough he drank some waters, he didn't give up and wanted to do the tasks like bubbling in the water or submerge the face into water.
He had so much fun and enjoyed the lesson. The coach was apparently Indonesian chinese guy too. He's pretty patience with the kids and can live up the situation with songs and toys.
Richie didn't want to get off from the pool after the 30mins lesson ended and he looked forward for the next lesson. Here some videos that mommy took during the lessons
Richie "the mouse" with big grin before class
when the class just started, listen to the coach
After class, he didn't want to get out from the pool
Mommy bought this magic color book from bookshop, it's pretty cheap around S$3.90
It's mess and fuss free coloring book, only need to use brush and water and the color will appear
And since Richie likes to create something, mommy gives him tangram where he can makes everything he likes using this tangram
Richie is big boy ! this is what he likes to say when he can play on his own, cleans up his toys and creates something using mega blocks
While mommy's doing household chores and cooking meals, he plays on his own.
Starting a day with excercising using WII sport, after he's bored he then plays mega blocks.
He likes to create transportation like train, airplane, digger. Sometimes he creates house, tunnel, high tower which I don't see similarity though but I'm proud of him, 'cos he's full of imagination, sometimes he talks to himself like creating story
After that, he will show me his creation hehe of course I says good job !
After I'm done with my chores, I'll ask Richie to clean up his toys, he does it voluntarily too, sometimes before I ask him, he already cleaned up. When I says to him, well done ! he will praise himself " Richie's big boy ", like Pingu ( Pingu is the show in youtube staring penguin with all acts and one of the episodes is Pingu cleans up the toys too ) hehe
He's such a big boy and becoming more responsible on his own property !
Mommy's so proud of you !
Richie's hair has been growing very well until it's thick and difficult to comb. So yesterday when we went to Clementi mall, mommy saw EC house has kid's cutting hair service with toy ride and barney movie.
Mommy asked him whether he wants to ride a car, and he says yes
So here he is
This is the beginning journey of 3 years old boy...
