Reese's latest development



Reese is only nineteen months plus but most people think he is over two years of age. And we have to constantly tell them that. Every will then look a little surprised. Not only is he mature for his age, his learning ability is also quite advance. He already knows his A-Z both upper and lower cases. He knows numbers 1-14, 17,18,20. He can recite A-Z and 1-12 with a little help from me. Most of the books I bought for him.. the ones that introduces pictures of everyday things, animals, shapes, vehicles... he knows 95% of them. He knows his colours well.

He can now hold his pencil quite well and is able to scribble properly. I will have to work on this part more. I am just lazy I guess. :)

He seems to like music alot. He enjoys drumming and playing the piano. We are still looking for a real drum for Reese. Unfortunately.. can't find the right one. Wherever we go, when he sees a drum... he will point at it and say drum....drum... at church... he will look at the drummer intently... just observing how she drums away.... Reese also likes the piano.. he doesn't really bang on it... he actually play a few keys! He really enjoys it.

I don't know what other books to buy him now... haha... picture books..he knows most of the things in them... story books... he is not ready for stories yet... or maybe I just need to let him get used to mummy reading to him. I am going to get the home schooling materials from U.S. soon and perhaps to start on a wonderful journey of fun and creative learning through play and books. I love books and I can't wait to build a library for little Reese. I want him to love books like I do. :)

Oh...I reckon the love for books is the best!!!

And it is indeeed surprising that he plays a few keys on the piano and not just bangs on it!

He has great potential...much to be harnessed. You must be really proud!

what can i say about Reese besides a "WOWWWW, what a smart boy" he is... Hubby thinks he is a genius..hehehe... He really learns fast and knows SO MUCH that even a 2-3 years old boy may not know as much as he does.

Darren should learn from Reese...

Hey mummies,

Thank you for the encouragement... We didn't put much effort.. usually just before bedtime or when he wakes up in the morning we will 'read' books with him or flash him the cards..

And we definately want to let him discover more about music...

Kathie,

We have a few of those lift a flap books...but Reese will rip off whatever that standing!! hahaha...
