developments 0amir knows what he wants, especially when it comes to clothes and toys. he would fuss when i put on what i've chosen for him. sometimes he would keep quiet and go along but once he's left alone in his room he would take off what i've put on him and put on whatever clothes he wants.
he also knows what toys he wants. he would rummage his toy chest to look for james, or car tiza, or barney, or doraemon, or bob.
he is now using baby talk, which i really hate. i think he picked it up at school.
he has a love-hate relationship with asyraf. extremely violent when they are put together...they would hit and kick and punch and slap. but when they're away from each other, they would start to ask about one another.
he knows his abc-s and 123-s. hopefully he can read soon.
his teacher has been complaining that amir's very lazy. its tough with him. even at home he would ignore hubby and i when we talk to him, getting him to do things needs reminding 3-4 times before he actually does them.
he's slowly starting to sleep late and wake up late. sometimes when the tv and lights are switched off, he's still awake.

developments 0amir's such a big boy now. he speaks clearly, with all kinds of expression, tones and hand and body gestures.
amir converses mainly in malay. he understands english fairly well but is not able to put together questions and replies. its ok, in a couple of years he'll be attending english pre-school.
he understands the concept of tomorrow. he knows his ABC (which is pretty surprising to us). he knows Z very well. if he points and sings the ABC, he will get excited nearing Z and will shout out 'zeddddd..."
he's still sucking 2 fingers to a point where they are shrinking. the only way to stop is to mention his teacher's name (cikgu sally) or to say we'll send him to the police. he's scared of the police as much as he's scared of voldermort.
he scolds asyraf in the funniest way. he would mumble away and we can only catch...eh asyraf ni in the beginning...and abang long at the end. complete with folded arms for effect.
he eats like a horse but people keep commenting on how thin he is. after he went back to school subsequent to his discharge, i asked the teacher if he was eating. she replied, yes...he even had seconds.
its difficult to wake him up in the morning. maybe because he sleeps later now. 1030 instead of the normal 10pm bedtime. to keep him from crying and throwing a tantrum in the morning, we have to pretend he's the baby and carry him downstairs. he cant be rushed and he cant be forced.
toilet training is almost 80% complete. accidents happen after a long car trip (ie after we reach home from school), late at night after dinner and early mornings once he gets up. other than that, he's getting the hang of it.
amir's sports day is next weekend and his exams are in may. wow...sports day and exams. such a big boy.
