WH is in a stage where he’s very active and wants to explore. Ever since his monkey act of climbing the bed, he now likes to climb up every elevated surface.
I know Chinese are very “pantang” to mention the word monkey. When I mentioned the word “monkey” , WH will start doing all the funny act.
He climbs on the grill, he climbs up all the shelfs, he climbs onto the table and attempt to dive down into the sofa.
Everyday, there’s new bruises and knock found on him. He likes playing rough. When he’s riding on his bike, he would attempt to have an accident, overturn his bike, said ” Bang! Bong” and fall over on the floor. The other day , he got scracthes on the arms falling onto the rug by doing such act. The moment I leave him alone, he will be up to something michievious…
WH’s also a very bold boy. Each evening when he’s out playing at the compound, when he sees the neighbourhood kids (in their teens) he will call out “abangggg…. abangg..”
When he’s at JS’s music class, he’s particulary fond of this boy of JS’s age. He always attempts to go near to this boy and call “Kor kor….kor kor…..” but this boy is very shy, the more WH calls him, the more he hides behind his dad’s leg. I’m quite amazed because we don’t have older boys at home, but somehow WH knows that older boys are korkor/abang. and he knows that Malay boys is Abang and Chinese boy is korkor…. I’ve never taught him that…
maybe he picks it up during our daily conversation and his own observation.
