This post meant to write a few weeks ago, but I was just too busy to update the blog at that time. Daniel's nursery progress report for last 3 months is due back tomorrow, which reminded me that I haven't written anything about his Two. For me, Daniel's Two is definitely 'terrible two'. I have already identified Daniel's tantrum hotspots:1) getting dressed. Daniel is very picky on his outfit. He likes to wear pajamas. If we are not going out, that 's fine with me. But if we are going out, it always need a bit persuasion to get the proper clothing on him.
2) Choosing music. Daniel likes songs and music. He was into Sound of Music and Jingle Bell last month. He kept listening the two CDs last month, he's off Jingle Bell and Sound of Music now, and moved on to different version of Wheel on the Bus. This one is his all time favorite. 'bus...bus...' If i didn't play the right track 'not this one...not this one...' , it guaranteed there would a big tantrum.
3)Choosing food. There would a big tantrum if the food are not prepared/given as he expected. so I do ask him what he want first before serving him now.
Daniel's progress report for last three month is a 34-pages document. I was quite surprised that the new government framework requires such in-depth assessment(500 milestones!!) towards a toddler. Daniel has a lot ticks towards 36 month on the areas of self-Confidence, making relationships, language for communication, reading and counting; Movement and space etc. Not so much on shape and colors.
Photos were taken on his two year birthday party with Justin and his mum. Daniel insisted to wear his pajama for his birthday. What can I do! Joanne said 'It's his birthday anyway, he got to choose the things he want...'
