My little cute cute, yes recently I've been enjoying calling Rynus my little cute cute, has been giving us loads and loads of joys nowadays, with his countless attempts in learning, and failing to talk. Well his vocabulary list has expanded by... just a little bit, he now knows "car car", and "card card", but his "bird", "pig", "press" and "bolster", all sound like "beh"...
And, that's about it.. That's all he's learned to speak so far...
Is that normal for a 1 year 8 months old kid? I would think not, his 5-days-younger-cousin has been talking in simple sentences, and repeating any words after adults is not a big challenge to her anymore. Therefore all I could say is that, Rynus is clearly not a studious type like his Renzo korkor. There's one night Rynus tore one of Renzo's favorite Thomas train books, while drinking his milk in bed. That "what's the big deal" look on his face, almost made me beat him up because Renzo, on the contrary, has never messed up with his books since birth, ever!Well if I look at what Renzo was doing at this age, gosh, Alphabets, Numbers, Chinese poems, English songs, he could handle them all! Let's just pick one video of him singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" at 1 year 6 months.
This is Renzo recognizing different objects at 1 year 5 months..
As for Rynus, he has been watching Leapfrog daily, like his Renzo korkor. He did not manage to learn all his A - Z by now like what Renzo did in the past, but he has showed strong interest in the phonics sound of the alphabets, and could follow, or even make the sound while you mention the letters, he knows the phonic sounds of at least, 15 alphabets, but I only managed to record down "M", "N", "O", "P" in the video attached below:
I know it doesn't sound as impressive if you were to compare it with Renzo's progress in the past, so I am going to make it up by sharing this super duper cute video of Rynus laughing, while hearing "Peek-a-boo" from Renzo, I seriously love the bonding between them and my little cute cute, is just way too cute, isn't he?!!!!!!!!
