This is Calvin *at work*. He looks serious and focus, ya? 🙂 Well, I have been trying to find some consistent time to spend with him to colour or do craft or to learn something new. When Athan is with us, it is near impossible to teach Calvin anything as the younger boy can be very disruptive.  The only time I find is when Athan is having his nap while Calvin is not.  It is not easy to convince the boy to sit down with me, because all he wants to do is to play with his cars or blocks. So, I make the learning time interesting and I try to use eye-catching materials.

These days, ever since he started kindy, he seems to be more willing to learn to write. He still has a long way to go when it comes to writing his name, but he is making progress.  He is very lazy when it comes to writing the alphabets.  He gets frustrated easily when he can’t get it right after several tries. Typical boy. Wait till he learns to write chinese characters! I’ve got to be patient and persistent yet not pushy.  However, he does seem to enjoy working on activity books, especially those with matching games or going through a maze or joining dotted lines. His colouring skills has improved, I have to say.  He knows he has to colour within the line and cover as much of the object as possible.  He likes to mix colours and see the effects too.  Interesting.
