Reuben's Progress

Reuben is almost 29 months now.

He is able to say simple sentences. E.g.

"I like your rabbit." Instead of saying "I want..." , he will say, "I like your...".

He'll also able to request, e.g. "Mommy, please..." and "Mommy put cream (eczema ceam)."

He is also able to ask simple questions such as "Jiejie, what you doing?", "Vera go there. Where Vera going?".

He is also able to reject, e.g. "I don't want."

In terms of pronunciation, I realised that he is not very clear with words with the "st" sound. E.g. he would say

siter- sister

tand up - stand up

toy lolly part 2 - toy story part 2

Other words that is not clear are looler (noodles), kiken (chicken), confake wi milk (conflakes with milk).

Basically, words that have double consonants, Reuben is unable to pronounce. e.g. /st/, /fl/, /ch/, /sh/ etc. I suspect that he might have short tongue because his papa has short tongue too.

In terms of colours, he already knew most of them : red, blue, orange, pink, green, yellow, white, black, purple etc.

He knews some of his alphabet too. He can recite the 26 letters by singing the alphabet song but actual letter recognition, I think he can only recognise B, S, O and the rest I've not discovered from him.

He can recite his numbers from 1-14 because we live in the fourteenth floor. Haha :)

He loves singing and is able to sing many Christian songs etc. Give thanks, This Little Light of Mine, Be Bold, Amazing, Love Others, The Fruit of the Spirit and many many more.

Reuben is still drinking milk using a spoon-bottle. He drinks about 150ml in the morning and night and sometimes 120ml in the day. He likes porridge, which he eats for lunch and dinner. In between, he loves bread, biscuit and plain waffle from Prima Deli. His favourite are nuggets and fries which Phoebe dislike very much. Phoebe doesn't like fried food at all. Reuben doesn't like chocolates and candy and anything that is sweet.

Oh and Reuben likes to ask us to smell his yellow blankie, which is his favourite! :) He'll say, "Mommy, smell blankie. Smell, smell." :)

That's my cute Reuben :)
