Where is Jesus? John The Baptist & A Wish For Fish from ‘The Rhyme Bible Book for Toddler’.
An Excerpt:

Jesus helps us
Get Our wish.
Our net is full
Of Wiggly fish!

“Follow Me,
Says Jesus then.
“I will help you
Fish for men!”

Learning Toys / Motor Skills

He suddenly took up the string of the pull toy and really pulled it along behind him, turning in circles and walked fast with it. Within the week, he got more proficient with it and pulled it really fast. This is an achievement as when we first got it sometime ago, he was still only pushing the toy away from him and slowly pulling it towards him while seated.

Daddy took out the little Engineer toy again and had an idea to tell Dar to insert the bolts into the holes. He did it successfully with 3 of them. Whenever he reached the fourth, he got bored and did not want to do it anymore.

The basketball toy we were playing and which we updated in one of the post. He still does not know how to throw yet. All he does is to hold his hands up high and placed it slowly into the net. But he got the idea.

Took out the Playdoh we bought for him sometime back and played with the blue one. He only like to poke it using the knife however and made several lines across it. Totally not interested in the shape cutters.

Outdoor For Tot

Just walking in the sun

Dar finally got to stroke the docile black cat with Daddy's help. He loves it & kept giggling.

Exercise

Daddy let him try this; Slide down a slide on his own! *scary. He could do it with his body upright most of the time. But we must still monitor quite closely with a hand to catch hold of him.

Otherwise he ends up like this...hahaha^^

Somehow the wrong expression was captured. He loves the black knob and would even kiss it. Since Daddy showed him how to turn these wheels at one of the stations in the elderly exercise corner, he has included in his dailywalk a MUST to go and turn it. Any attempts to remove him from it, results in a stamping protesting toddler.

TV Time

Watched the DVD animation-chinese version of the chinese storybook (快乐的森林舞会)from Dolphin media. Also watching the LeapFrog Letter Factory.
