What Theo Loves doing

Ah Ma got Theo lacing buttons when he was about 20months old. Theo surprised me by being able to lace them up!

Theo loves playing puzzles. He fixed a 1 piece, then 2-pcs and now he fixed a 4-pc (Bob the builder series) and surprised me by fixing a 6-pcs puzzle. He just turned 2yr old.














Theo loves crafts! (Must have gotten it from mummy!! hahah) He picked up a scissors when he just turned 2-yr old and started to cut paper. he likes to hold it up real high and cut round the edge of a pamphlet. He sat there for a good 30mins just cutting and cutting. Now, did anyone talk about kids having short attention span. I conclude that to be a myth. (Ruth Beechick has more on that from her book entitled "teaching preschoolers" http://www.bookfinder.com/author/ruth-beechick/ Dr. Ruth Beechick is a former teacher, professor, and curriculum developer. Now retired, she writes for homeschoolers whom she sees as the greatest hope for the future of our society.)

Theo has a keen eye for details. he can spot a small guitar in a picture. And he loves spot the item game we play now & then. He gets really excited when he finds the object mummy asked him to in the picture.

We played 'match the object with the shadow' last wk on our first homeschool lesson: If you give a mouse a cookie - lapbook. Mummy bought Theo a little folder from popular for keeping all his lapbooks and projects so he can 'show & tell' Pa Pa when he comes home & Ah Ma when she comes over. Theo did is so easily... hmmm... next time something more challenging.
