Babies first week after Birthday

One week after the Babies Birthday, Felin and I started to discuss on whether to send them for Toddler Day Care from next year onwards. Felin am worried that the kids will fall sick easily at 24th months and whether its necessary to spend the money as we currently have caregiver assistances at home. As for me, I thought that its good to expose them early to people so that they can accelerate their learning by looking at other children and having a structured learning environment. Nevertheless we checked out a few centres around our house to understand more and some are already in the waiting list. I then asked Felin to check out if there are any enrichment class for them suitable from 18th months onwards.

We were also discussing about the Children's likely character and we feel that Joshua is a rather humourous boy, has a bit of 小聪明 and pick up new skills quite fast but he can be impatient and seek the easier way when obstacle comes. As for Josiah, he is more of an introvert, like to play by himself and do not usually seek help from others until he failed to accomplish some task. He could likely be a hardworking boy.

As for their physical developement, Joshua is now able to stand without support and walk one or two steps before crawling again. He likes to imitate others such as pretending to cough when others are doing it. He even learned to pound on his chest when he is pretending to cough. When he wants to sleep, he tap on his own buttock to tell us its bed time because we tap his buttock whenever we pacify him to sleep. He bites on the ball and raise up his head with the ball in his mouth like a merlion. He never cease to make us laugh. As for Josiah, he enjoys going under the playmat and hide himself. He can hide so well that the mat seems flat and someone can just step on him if not careful. He also likes to exhibit his sweet smile for us and look deep into our eyes as he appreciates that we are around him.

I think that the next 1 year will be more challenging as they start walking or even running whereas Felin feels that it will get more interesting as they start communicating with us. No matter what, we will look forward a lot of surprises coming ahead.
