Ya Sure!

20 August 2007

“Ya, sure!” is Cayden’s favourite words to say recently, especially yesterday and today. Haha. Its quite cute actually, because his pronouciation is a bit off.

“Cayden, do you want some cereal?”

“Ya, sure!”

“Cayden, do you want to pee pee?”

“Ya, sure!”

“Cayden, do you want to play with Finn?”

“Ya, sure!”

My boy is so agreeable.

Cayden has also started to speak in 2 words or more. Like “Mama hug Ca-Kaen” (thats how he pronouce his own name), “drink milk”, “Come on, mama”. Its amazing how he has suddenly started to speak properly. My boy has definitely grown up.

Cayden has also started attending pre-school again since 15 Aug. He loves it there! The only down side of his pre-school is that the teachers don’t really teach anything educational. They teach them life skills like potty training, self feed etc, but nothing too educational.

Charlie (Finn’s mother) had a conversation with the director of the school recently, to understand the reason behind the increase in school fees. Apparently they have decided to increase the school fees but it is unclear if they will plough the money back into the school, like buying new teaching materials, getting a better teacher etc. Charlie has offered to show the school what other pre-schools do in other countries. Charlie just had a premature baby in March and she had to stay in Beijing for 4.5 months. While there, she sent Finn to a kindergarten in Beijing and she said the standard there is just so much better. I think its a good idea. I have offered some teaching materials on my end. Cayden will ultimately benefit from it, so why not?
