Signs of growing up

Our baby is growing up really fast and settling in well in pre-school. Amen! Here are 9 reasons why we say so:-

1. Taking naps in pre-school without the dummy (oops... notwithstanding photo above);
2. Following simple instructions such as "wash hands". Teacher said he walked down the corridor in school to the toilet to have his hands washed;
3. Sits together with classmates during storytime, thanks to longer attention span;
4. Stares intensely (not moving at all) at his Ms Laura or Sun Lao Shi during music time which he loves;
5. Learning to feed himself with a spoon, e.g. fed himself macaroni for lunch today (030909) although messily;
6. Chooses his sports shoes over the sandals when going to school;
7. Laughs hysterically when Sun Lao Shi sings the rhythmic song "xiao lao shu" (little mouse in mandarin);
8. "Declined" to sleep on classmate Jadon's bed when new assistant teacher, Ms Dawn unknowingly led him to it. He recognises his bed in school by the bedsheet and bolster case;
9. If he wakes up from his noon time nap earlier than his classmates, he would not cry or make a noise. To our surprise, he picks up a book and flips the pages quietly while the rest of his classmates are in slumber.

Shall update 1 more reason over the weekend. Cheers!
