At 4.....

E has shown vast improvement in all areas lately. He is able to write many words freely on his own. When asked to do some academic exercises, though not quite interested, he is able to spell out and write the names of the objects shown. (E.g. Bat, cat, pin, van, apple, school, table etc). He has progressed to recognising and writing verbs and adjectives (e.g. happy, sad, slow, fast, clean, messy, sleep, run etc ).

What I am more excited about is his ability to decode a word phonetically. It is such a great contentment to see him try to make out of some alphabets.

He even sets his own mathematical equations:

4 + 3 = 7
2 + 2 = 4
5 + 1 = 6

I just realised that he could "draw" his chinese name too. Somehow, he is able to join the strokes and lines together to form his name. How very creative :)

His latest interest is in dinosours! He has been drawing so many versions of them...his all time favourites are Triceratops and Ankylosoraus ! Even I have to learn the super long names with him. They just get my tongue twisted....haha

E is way more advance than P. P knows a lot (knowledge) but unable to perform the skills. I hv to be a fierce tiger mom soon.

Hi Little lamb,

Dont be discouraged. Kids have their own timing. Once P reaches the button, it will come pouring out non-stop. P is probably at the absorption stage now. Enjoy him :)

Cheers

Ethan has done very well.

Hi Vicky,

Thanks for the kind words.
I must confess, I have not spent much time with E on this academic front. He is one playful boy. All day long, he would be playing with his toys and irritating N at times. That said, they do play very well together at times. It is a joy and blessing to have them both. Very different personalities. :)

cheers
