Randall's Increasing Vocab

There was a time where I was worried about my baby's speech development. Even had to go back to KKH for review which the PD subsequently is satisfied with Randall's speech development.

Now, he is acquiring ever increasing amount of words that I never thought he knew.

Just yesterday, to celebrate his 2nd birthday, we brought him to the zoo and when he saw Ben & Jerry's cow outside the zoo entrance, he went 'moo moo' while pointing excitedly.

He saw monkeys and exclaimed 'Monk Key' 'Monk Key'!!

He saw a zebra and said 'Horse'

He looked at his birthday cake and said 'Cake'

Just tonight, when he heard his daddy leave the house to throw rubbish at the central chute, he sat up in bed and said softly 'Daddy Daddy'.

And when Daddy came back and asked him to call me mummy, Randall called me 'Mummy' :)

Randall's 1st Temper Tantrums

Randall threw his first big temper tantrums on Monday, 10 May 2010, and it caught both me and Daddy by surprise.

It left us wondering where our little sweet cutie pie went?

We were so shocked that we forgot to take pictures as evidences! Hiak Hiak Hiak (hmm, still can laugh??)

I was preparing him for his evening bath after school and when i tried to remove his clothes, he started to fuss. When i ignored his fussing and proceeded to remove his top and bottoms, he went into full blown crying and screaming that did not stop even after 30 mins!

Later on in the night, as I laid him in bed, he suddenly started his crying again and began flailing about on the bed non stop...That scared me! I have to hold him to calm him down.

I believe the episode was caused by the fear of the new childcare experiences, and the fatigue from trying to adapt to a whole different schedule in school.

He has not threw another tantrum since then...meanwhile, mummy will read up more about raising a two year old to equip myself better to loving this boy more (haha, dun think its possible to love him more when i already love him very very very much)

Being a mummy is really a steep learning curve, I really can't learn fast enough!
