Compliments

My son started to cleaning-up his mess but...... with one condition. He must get compliments from you to motivate him to do the clean-up. Whenever he returns the toys to the original place, you must praise him "GOOD BOY" + "CLAP HAND" to boost his spirit. Sometimes, he will clap his hands when he completes his task. :D So Funny.

This technique is proven to be effective when you need him to pick-up new skills. Nowadays, toddlers need lots of encouragement to keep learning going.

Shopping Scare

My mom used to be a shopaholic but she is no longer enjoying shopping with me. :( I'll go crazy walking around the shopping mall directionless. I don't like to hold my parent's hand. As I can't walk steadily in a straight line, I can easily bump into a dustbin or wall or even the crowd. I'll make a fuss when my parent put me in a stroller or hug me. My mom felt so embarrassed when I threw tantrum in the public. :P

When I arrived home, I would keep my upbeat mood at home, walking around like a headless chicken.

Now that I'll grab every opportunity to go out whenever I noticed my parent wearing nice clothes or put on shoes for me.

Discipline

My mom has recently read a parenting book given by her friend. My mom wanted to instill discipline in my life so that I can be strong person when grow-up. I started to learn to pick-up my mess after playing my flash cards and shaped blocks. There are other stuff coming along :) depending on how fast my mom can read the book.

My First Few Words

My first word at 9 months is "Papa". My second word is "Star". I learned it from my mom when I played my shaped blocks.

My mom is quite dissapointed as I never call her. I purposedly call her "papa" when she asked her to call her "mama". :P
