Snail...

My boy is a big fan of snail. He told me snail is one of his best friends ever. When I showed his 1 year old plastisin, he made a family of snail. He explained to me one to another snails that he made as each member in our family-daddy, mommy, himself and his baby sitter...I was impressed to see my boy first creativity using plastisin to demonstrate his imagination and creative thinking. We made the figures together. I helped him a little to roll and soften the plastisin.

Here are the pictures-my boy first creativity's figures-a family of snail..look how gorgeous and cute the figures are. They are made on 6th August, 2007 by my boy...He learned new words related with snail like shell, slug and antena while making his figures.



Am not pretty sure what is it my boy made for-the one sitting on the carpet. Probably nanny snail..hahahaha..

His very chatty now and know how to communicate and gather sentence quite well. Sometimes, his sentence is a mixture of English and Malay. Eventhough, my boy speaks quite later than my other friend's children, but am still happy to see his progress at this stage. His has proven his ability to talk and increase his level of maturity able to speak and response like an adult, although some of his recent words sometimes annoying me like:-

'what are you talking about?'
'i dont know what you are talking'

deep in my heart, it sound harsh on me as a mother. Sometimes, I can see, my boy trying to behave like an adult and manipulating the rules to trick the elder.

I must admit, nowadays, children is not like children in my year. They are smarter and should be told like a matured people. Whatever reason you want to give to them, it should be logic because they can think and they can dispute what we are saying if the reason is not convincing enough.

He loves to draw and to colour. Other than snail, he amaze with insects like ant and spider. He likes worm too. His very excited to see worm wriggling. He can explain transformation from caterpillar to butterfly. He keeps talking about caterpillar tight in cocoon before she changes to butterfly that I have never spoken or even taught about this before. All he learned are from CBEEBIES. He knows almost every single character in CBEEBIES..Sad enough, me as a mother does not know very well who they are except Sam the Fire Engine, Teletubbies, Big Cook, Little Cook..too many to write..His most favoured toy will be his 'Power Rangers' figures, transformer's gun and LEGO. He never been bored with LEGO since he is 1.5 years old. Its really paid off, eventhough LEGO can drive me mad if my boy doesnt store them well. Now, my girl start to follow his brother footstep. Try to stick 1 brick to another brick to make a figure. She is starting to copy his brother to draw and to colour. She really can't see pen/pencil, she will draw everything on it...
