Smart Boy!
I brought Matthew home on my own today, as it was early and I didn't want to tire out my mom who was looking after Matthew the whole day. He was a good boy, sitting quietly in his seat, biting his teether and watching the "scenery". I also discovered that he has learned to listen to the children's songs that I always play in the car.
When we were in the lift, I asked Matthew "which floor?" and "where is number 8?". He actually pointed to the correct button. I was so so so surprised. I cheered "yuppie". He turned around to look at me and smiled! So smart! It must be because we have been showing him the buttons which we pressed when we go into the lift.
We also noticed that he's interested in looking at numbers, like the big number plate that showed the unit numbers outside the lifts. Maybe it's because of the big number chart we have at home. We bought this chart quite some time ago, more for the pictures, like bus, elephant etc. So maybe he has started to associate these numbers...
Well, we never know how much he knows till he starts talking. All the breastmilk, DHA, SA, ARA etc etc. No wonder babies nowadays are all getting smarter. Who knows, we may have a genius in the making. Maybe it's God's way of "compensating" for Matthew's hard of hearing in his left ear. Who knows. Only God knows.
Good night Matthew my boy.
