Arthur starts school!

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Arthur started school at the Montessori today. Mummy & Daddy walked Arthur to school for 8.45am. He seemed to have a really good day. Apparently he did “Puzzles”.

Mummy then took Arthur into town to buy Arthur some new slippers. Mummy bought Arthur a pair of Roary Slippers that light up and a pair of Spider Man Trainers that also light up!

Mummy & Arthur went with Grandpapa for dinner at Alessandro’s. Arthur wanted to go to KFC but then was happy to go to Alessandro’s as long as he could eat Pasta. He did not want Pizza!

Swimming Lessons

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Arthur started his Preschool Swimming Class. He was the youngest. Amirah was also in the class. The rest of the children are all preschoolers. 2 of them even cried most of the time. Grandpapa was there to watch too.

We are so proud of him!

After swimming we went to KFC for a late lunch / early dinner. Arthur ate a medium box of popcorn chicken, fries and a couple of corn. He then even ate an ice-cream.

After that we went to feed the birds. There were Pigeons, Black Birds and Sea Gulls. Arthur can recognise and say all the 3 types of birds names.

Bread & Buses!!

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

Arthur made Egg Bread with Daddy and then was whisked off with Grandmama for a few bus rides. Arthur enjoys riding on the buses!

When Arthur returned, he helped lay the table. This time correctly even with side plates.

Arthur has a new expression too - “Not ever again!”. He sounds so cute saying it.

Arthur receives a present!

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

This morning Arthur received a package from DHL. Arthur instantly knew it was his and wanted to open it. It was a scooter. Arthur was overjoyed by it. It even lights up. It was from Grandmama. Arthur immediately wanted to call up Grandmama to say Thank You for his scooter.

(The hall is already tired of the scooter!!)

L is for Lephant!

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

So in order to encourage use of the letters, we all play games. One of Arthur’s favourite of these games is when he recognises the letter on a chocolate, says the letter and what it is for, and then eats the chocolate. So, after dinner today Arthur wanted his chocolate. He picked the letter L and said “L is for Lephant!”

Mummy and Daddy were rolling about laughing. You must be honest, you can see the logic in it!!

Arthur draws a face!

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

Arthur was playing on his aqua draw and actually drew a face. Ok it was not perfect but it was definately recognizable as a face. He drew the eyes, nose and mouth too. My biggest regret is that I did not take a photo of it, as with aqua draw the picture fades after a little while. He even explained the face to us. Mummy and Daddy could not believe it, so Arthur was asked to draw another face and he did!

He also said “Idea” today.

Arthur’s Dry Nights!

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Due to the rash we were advised to leave him nappyless at night. And guess what…. that is right, he had a dry night.

Arthur was not too keen on his antibiotics though he was really cute and kept saying yummy (with a grimace on his face) and “better”. So we mixed it with a little milk and chocolate nesquick. It went down a treat.

Arthur seems to be much better though he still is hardly eating.

More Vocabulary

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Arthur’s vocabulary is proceeding so quickly, that we simply cannot keep up. Not only has he learnt new words but he has also begun to chain up words. New words include ( I may also include previous words ) :-

Mine
Mummy
Daddy
Quick
Quickly
Numbers till 10
The alphabet
Baby
Yeay
Yepp
I love you
Car
Up
Down
In
Out
Wow
Eye
Ear
Nose
Water or rather Ter
Milk
Egg

He can also say the sounds many animals make such as cow, sheep, duck, cat, dog, etc.
He can also recognise most parts of the body including eyebrows, forehead, thumbs, toes, fingers, knee, chin, cheeks, leg, foot, lip, mouth, teeth, tongue, nail etc

Knee!

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

Arthur said the word “knee” today (while touching his knees).

We went to Cranford Nursery as they had an open day. Arthur just loved it. Mummy & Daddy liked the fact that there are 2 computers for the children to use. But Arthur enjoyed it so much, he did not care one way or the other if Mummy & Daddy were there at all!

Giggle Giggle

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

Arthur’s latest word is “Giggle Giggle” which is his way of saying “tickle tickle”. It works well, because when he is tickled he does giggle!

We were going to go to the fish farm with Amirah and her Mummy, but we were asked to stay a while with Gladys. As the time came for us to stay with Grandma Gladys, we were told it was not necessary. It spoilt our day but somethings things cannot be helped. We are hoping that she will get well soon.
