Beanie @ 24 Months

My little Beanie is 2 yr old! These few days, he's super duper cute! He wants me to kiss one side of his cheek, then the other and follows by his lips. So affectionate! He is our 开心果, he brings so much joy & laughter to us. LZ adore his little brother & likewise, he adores his sister & brother. They give in to him all the time, despite protest from me at times. They often say "mommy, he is our baby!"

My little 2 yr old now able to tell us more each day and tries to say it in sentences. "I don't want this!" "I want this!" Whenever he sees vehicles (bus, big/small truck, bike, taxi, car) on the road, he happily points and tells me what they are. I would usually ask him what colour they are and he is able to say it most of the time. Besides that, he loves animals, we often go through his animal books. The first animal that he knows is 'cat', that's because we have lots of stray cats around our neighbourhood. He know cat - meow, dog - woof, tiger - roar, snake - sssss etc...

Apart from teaching him English, I am teaching him Chinese too which I totally forgot to mention at all! He was able to point to his body parts since last month or earlier. 鼻子，嘴巴， 眼睛， 手，脚， 耳朵， 肚子。 He is also able to say most of them. There's no video of it coz he refused to let me record it.

Number wise, he follows what I say and I kinda lazy to follow up on that, teaching him the value and recognise the numbers. Gotta remove the lazy bones in me.

 Whenever we are in the car waiting for LZ, he would ask to sit in the front sit with me. "Bean bean sit mama." means "I want to sit with you." After being 'trapped' in the car for more than half hour, he would usually "Bean bean walk walk." means "I want to go down for a walk."

He loves to read. He often takes a book to me and we go through it together. So he is able to name many things which I have a hard time remembering all. He still likes to doodle, sometimes he has to go out with all those marks on his legs or hands!

Beanie is a very expressive boy. Whenever he sees something that amazes him or he manage to do something, he says "wowwwww!" When he is angry, he shows it by folding his arms in front of him and says "Hmph!". Love it when I ask him to show me angry face, happy and baby crying face.

One of the things that I am really very happy is that he enjoys eating. He eats whatever is placed on his plate/bowl. The only thing that he probably doesn't like for now is kiwi. I will try to it again till he likes it.
