Jeffrey's Books
Jeffrey is getting interested in readings. Here are his favourite books:
Sandra Boynton:
Moo Ba La La La
Not the Hippopotamus
Doggies
I Want My Binkit
Going to Bed Book
Eric Carle:
The very hungry caterpillar
Head to Toe
He also likes Where Is my belly button by Karen Katz.
Goodnight Moon - I started reading it to him before he goes to bed just two days ago. Today daddy put him to bed, he wanted daddy to read it to him and he put it away after it's done and then he went to sleep. So cute!!
His vocabulary:
mama, dada, bye bye, jojo (joey), gogo (dog or any 4-legged animal）， bubu (baby), sit (he says it when joey is barking), nainai (milk), cracker, cheerios, bao bao (bread), dan dan (egg or tufu, he thinks tufu and eggs are the same thing), nana (banana), apple (apple or grandma), yeye (grandpa), a-ma (grandma), jie (Anges), turtle (any green animal), xie xie (thank you - he says it very well, usually when he gets stuff and when he gives things, he would say xie xie), chochocho (cho cho train), wu (5), momo (nemo), shuishui (water or fish), shushu (tree), fafa (flower), guagua (melon)
He can make a lot of animal sounds. He can do all the sounds from Mo Ba La La La.
He likes to give hugs, and especially hugs to smaller babies.
He also likes to rub noses (we called the Eskimo kisses) to us, babies and even Joey. He cracks up afterwards.
He likes to dance and shake his body with the music, it's very funny watching him doing that. But lately, he likes to spin in circles.
His toys:
puzzle, train sets, cars, air planes, anything with wheels.
He is not as interested with mega blocks. I guess his fine motor skill is still not that great and he doesn't have great strength to stack them.

whistler
Just came back from Whistler.
The 3 hour ride up and back from Whistler wasn't too bad. We had to stop at Squamish to let Jeffrey stretch out. He slept through about 1/2 of the ride and didn't complain too much about the rest.
Went to MacDonald's for the first time in his life. He loved the fries!!! We had to eat really fast so he doesn't eat too much. (what's with kids and fried stuff? or should I just say what's with the fried stuff 'cause it also applies to adults!) He also likes to drink water using the straws, doesn't like the sippy cup anymore.
Jeffrey likes to squad when taking pictures.
Guarding and pushing the stroller. Jeffrey won't let us touch the stroller when he is pushing it. but he doesn't really know how to steer it, so we had to help him steer the stroller without him knowing. Everytime he looks up, we had to take our hands away from the stroller.
Got to get maple before hitting the road.
This car stops at every Tim Hortons.
