Baby Turns Six Today

Ryan’s Six Birthday Cake

6 years ago on this day Ryan entered our lives. He was 3.7kg at birth and about 53cm long. Fast forward to today he is now 20kg and about 125c m tall.

My little monkey has grown and matured a lot since birth. He still is a handful at times but can be extremely adorable and charming too.

Now at 6yrs old Ryan ins able to

– read the newspapers independently

– converse and give his own opinions on most matters.

– help to do the laundry and clean up the house.

– takes care of his younger brother and looks out for him.

-rollerblade and ride his bicycle independently.

This year he requested for a 3D Shinkansen for his birthday cake. It took me about 4 hours from baking to decorating the cake. I’m glad that Ryan and his classmates really enjoyed seeing and eating the fondant covered chocolate cake.

Happy 6th Birthday my little boy. 🙂

Counting has been Roy’s obsession lately. He is simply fascinated with numbers. His favourite DVD is Richard Scarry’s 1-2-3 Counting VCD

Roy watches this VCD at least once a week. He is now able to read numbers up to hundreds and loves reading off the numbers off the parking lots in the multi-storey carpark near our house.
Recently Roy has even been asking me how to spell the numbers.
His favourite questions now is ” Mummy how to spell One?”, “How to spell —(Two/three etc)”

He is now able to spell up to three besides being able to spell his name and his brother’s name.

I’m glad that he shows interest in mathematics and counting. I recall then when Ryan was around his age he too was interested in numbers.
