13 July 2006: Favourite vehicle - car.
14 July 2006: Distracted by flashy graphics and sound on the TV.
19 August 2006: Itchy/curious fingers at the hardware shop.
27 August 2006: Got to sit here everytime we start off.
23 September 2006: Testing the stability of the sign.Gabriel frequently amazes us with his keen senses, memory and developmental skills.
He is able to join in singing songs by saying the last word of a stanza. This week when we were singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", he sang "what you are"! Other times he would be humming to the tune or trying to mimick the words, but this was the clearest he has ever sang.
When mummy took Gabriel out for a walk around our home, he saw a signboard put up on a lamp post. It was an advertisement for the satellite pay channels. Mummy initially couldn't believe it when he shouted "Astro"! We know that no one has told him about it even though he watches a little bit per week. Possibly he has been listening to the word spoken in commercial breaks.
So you see, don't under-estimate the perceptive power and learning potential of babies and toddlers. We are thoroughly convinced that my son, like his peers, are at the age when their brains are absorbing and processing data at an unprecedented rate. The Shichida Method and Glenn Doman's institute support this important characteristic of our little ones.
