In the past four months, his developments were achieved at amazing speed. When prior to that, I was still worrying about his speech and learning abilities even though WF assured me boys are slower in their developments as compared to girls.
Now I am proud to say he goes to his twice weekly independent playgroup without crying like crazy for the 2 hours.
And I finally weaned him off his 2am milk feed, effective 1st Mar (that when he's 23months old!!!). He used to have milk at 10pm, 2am and 6am. I thought by 2 years old, he should stop this 2am feed. It took us more than 3 weeks of ignoring his cries/screams in the middle of the night and few times of argument whether to give in or not.
Here are some of the things he is capable of. Able to:
- Speak more than three words and in a proper sentence. Like 'xie xie ni" or 'How about you?' (the latter really threw me off the chair when he asked me).
- Verbalize & identify ALL the 26 big alphabets. And most of the small alphabets except the confusing ones like q & g.
- Verbalize & identify numbers 1 to 10.
- Verbalize & identify shapes like: circle (his favourite), triangle, square, oval, star, rectangle, heart and amazingly hexagon (don't ask me how he did it, it caught me by surprise too!).
- Verbalize & identify colours: orange, yellow, red & pink. Noticed these are common colours in a girl's items? Work-in-progress for other colours.
- Best of all, he can identify a lot of Thomas & Friends characters from Annie to Whiff. We ourselves weren't as good as him.
He's now showing some signs of self feeding but only occasionally. And totally refused the potty. I wonder how come this potty thing is such a huge obstacle for him.
Here are some pictures of him:
Going to school. 
See how a Thomas & Friends VCD & a Mickey Mouse schoolbag can excite him so much. 
Having a go at feeding himself to the cut watermelons.
