Updates on my little Boy

Jovann is 2yrs 2 mths old already. He has been a gor gor for a month, and I have not posted for nearly a month. Hehee...so many things about him recently that makes my heart melt or sends us into peals of laughter.

* He holds our arm and says "careful careful" when one of us gets on our knees to get something from under the table/bed/chair
* He loves the book "polar bear polar bear what do you hear", and likes to recite it even when the book not in front of him. Hehehe will upload the video later.
* He's been pee-ing standing in front of the toilet bowl for some time now. But we have not really toilet train him. Will do so after my confinement.
* When we play catch the ball with him, he will hold his arms out in front of him to catch the ball. when he throws it back to us, he insists we hold our arms the exact same way, and he will help us get into position, saying "ah neh ah neh" ("like this like this" in teochew). When we do catch it, he will pat our heads and say "clever boy" even if its Mommy he's talking to hehehe.
* He says "God Bless you, mei mei" when Jaz sneezes
* He finally recognises colours! yippee!! for a while, everything to him is PURPLE! now he recognises yellow, pink, black, brown, purple, green, sometimes blue and red.
* He loves to count but tends to double count things hehehee...
* Tonight when sitting on the toilet bowl, he suddenly called out to me and then told me "The octopus said....give away your shining scales...." hahaha...that was a line from the Rainbow Fish. The octopus is his favourite character in the book.
* When taking turns with Daddy to spin the Thomas spinning top one day, it was his turn to spin and he held out his hands, palm out, to Daddy and said "Don't Disturb!".
* When he wants to carry mei mei (which is often), he asked "I want to carry mei mei, PLEASE?" with his usual tilt of his head and an endearing lilt with the "please"
* When Jaz cries, he will pat her tummy gently and say "Mei mei, dun cry" with a plaintive voice that sounds as if he's about to cry himself. If mei mei stops crying, he will tell me "mei mei stop crying already".
* when kicking ball with Ah Gong Ah Ma recently, he accidentally kick his feet on a bed post hard. When Ah Gong made as if to sayang him, Jovann told him "不要紧" or "Nevermine".
* This is also the time he shows more understanding of the english language, and start stringing words to reply us in full sentences, in combinations/ways that we never taught him before. Example, when we asked him has he washed his hands, he used to reply us "no". but now he says "Not yet", which we didn't teach him before. And he has started using words like "also", "already", "somemore", "tonight" correctly hehee.
* Today when reading a book to him, I finished the book and he said "one more book" and I asked him to bring one over. He said "ok, Jovann find book", and turned to go, but turned back to me almost immediately and commanded me "Lie down there, don't move. (I was lying on the sofa)". hehee...so funny.
* Now when searching for something, he will go "where is it....where is it.....(then) there it is!". hehe.
