Tot School: Bugs Week

This is part 1 of Bugs Week and as expected, my Boss, the Tiger didn't like the trays.

Part 2, the holiday; he likes  ;)

He called everything, from ants to lizards 'Kah Kah'.

Mommy: Spider

Tiger: Kah kah

Mommy: Beetle

Tiger: Kah kah

Mommy: Caterpillar

Tiger: Kah kah

 You get the picture....

I forgot to take a picture of the Tot Tray setup :p 

This messy bug bin was a hit.

He searched for it EVERYDAY.

I hid it, of course :p

Otherwise, this will be all that we do ^.^

There aren't many pics this week due to the fact that

he likes to cover the camera lens with his hands nowadays.

Like this, in a I-am-a-celebrity-get-outta-my-way-you-paparazzi kinda way!!

This is one of the trays.

It was supposed to be a mystery bag but he refused to put his hand in.

=.="

This is quite a cool set.

 

I copied this from Math week.

I was neither imaginative nor very inspired by bugs, sorry kiddo...

We used alphabets A to N instead.

We enjoyed his new dry erase board.

We use Crayola's Dry Erase Crayons instead of markers (for cleaning purposes)

He was such an artist this week.

I wrote letter 'n' and we traced it  together many times

Note: The ugly stick figure at the upper right corner is Mommy's work.

So is the cute bee & butterfly

He used the new bright dry erase crayons on paper   =.="

We made a card for friend's fullmoon party

(We Chinese celebrate the 1 month old babies with lavish parties) 

My poor boy, painting his heart out.

Hubby commented that 'people' is probably going to toss it away like rubbish.

True, not everyone will understand art at its finest.

We love our 'chop-chop'

 

He dug out the IKEA plates and cups.

I tried to get him to do matching but he had better ideas.

He pretend to drink from each cup with a convincing satisfied  "Aaahhh" after each drink.

He felt very musical and raided his music drawer.

The shots are blurry cause he wouldn't stop dancing.

Castanet

Chinese musical device. Cute drum thingy that Grandpa bought from China especially for the brat.

You can get anything made-in-China in Malaysia but it's the thought that counts.

So, my dear Little Tiger, please think of Grandpa as more than Grandpa.

He LOVES you to bits even if he doesn't say it.  

His 10-bucks-xylophone. (Yup, that's what we are calling it, proudly)

Mommy redeemed RM 50 from ToysRus and bought well, a lot more than that..hmm

Included in the spree is this tunnel.

LOVED it!

He rolled, kicked, laughed, crawled & hid for an hour.

Things aren't always fun and perfect in Tiger's Tot School.

He didn't enjoy the bugs printout for the pocket chart.

We didn't do any right brain training.

He detest Little Reader at the moment.

I am afraid to put on Tweedlewink DVDs cause he will ask to do the Numbers Song from Youtube.

So there, our imperfect world that I love..

Reading-Frenzy

Tiger is a real good kid. Despite the fact that I always occasionally portray him in a bad light to make myself look good.

He's not just a 'dirty' kid.

He has also blossomed into a voracious 'reader' that matches his appetite for gummy bears.

These are some shots from Math Week when he was super hardworking and loved school. We are slacking a bit during Bugs Week but it's ok, we are going to have fun next week.

Lately, he has made it a habit to choose a book of his liking and bringing to me. Then he would sit in my lap as we read together. It warms my heart just thinking about it :)

For some reason, he loves this bulky nursery rhymes book.

Occasionally, he acts grown-up and brings it to his little table and 'reads' to himself.

He loves moving his finger along the print as he reads.

He looks so prim and proper here...

He thoroughly enjoyed all the books I have chosen for Math Week.

His No.1 book was this simple numbers book with bright pictures.

This was closely followed by: Please Get The Moon For Me.

Again with his favourite book.

Now he would go through all the books and give me a "All done"

Sometimes, we will go to his reading corner for more.

I love that he enjoys this little reading corner of his.

It is also Mommy's I-am-not-sleeping-Just-closing-my-eyes corner :p

This was last Sunday, immediately after he woke up from sleep.

What a nerd!

 

He also enjoys flipping through mommy's books.

Who said toddlers love picture books only?

Being a little monkey.

Books are for redecorating too...=.="

Funnies: *Dirty* Little Boy

Tiger is definitely my kiddo despite the fact that he refuse to acknowledge the fact that I am his MAMA!
Why? Cause he is as dirty-minded as mommy or dang, is it daddy? I mean, all guys are horny...


Anyway, here's the scoop:

He's usually with me when I get dressed in the mornings. So, I am used to naming body parts for him. He already know all the basic ones.

So, yesterday morning, he pointed at mommy's boobs and said "pou pou" which means well, boobs in Chinese.

I was shocked but as a professional mommy, I kept a straight face and I said, "Yes, that's right. These are pou pou."

The laa-tee-dah, I left for work and forgot about it.


When I came home that evening,

I asked Tiger: "How was your day? Were you a good boy?" (The usual blah-blah)

Out of the blue, MIL replied: "Today, your son poked at my breasts and said pou pou. He also tried to bounce them."

Mommy: Blink blink..then ROFL...



Ah, the joys of motherhood and a joker kid...

I am glad that Tiger can identify one more body part, but...

I hope he doesn't go around pointing them out in public. That would be embarrassing, even for me.

If anyone from the social welfare department is reading this, please note that my son is a little precocious and curious in 'this' department. There is no abuse or hanky-panky or any sort in my house.

I abhor child pornography but I love taking naked pics of my son. They're so cute and also handy for blackmail later in life. You know, in case Tiger brings home a girl I do not approve of or if he leaves me in a old folks home kinda thing.
