18 months 4th week

Hello, Tiara!

You can practically see the light bulb go on when your toddler figures out how to fit the pieces of a puzzle together. Simple puzzles, nesting blocks, and stacking toys not only draw on your child's mental resources, they help hone fine motor skills (which until now have probably taken a backseat to gross motor skills, such as running and climbing). While your toddler will continue to burst with energy, he's probably spending more time sitting still, especially when there's a problem to be solved. 

===>

So every week i get emails from Babycentre. I highly recommend it if you're pregnant or a new mother. I mean, no matter what parenting style you choose,  you are somewhat calmer when an email tells you its normal for a year 3mnth old pre-toddler screaming means "signs of affection" (got this weeks back and laughed it off with their yan.).  I'm sure these emails are valid findings of study on sacrificed infants in some research house somewhere just to validate what peers have already told you "oh normal la tu baby lagi"

So. Emir's motor skills? A lot of climbing and running and swimming and bit of jumping and falling down a lot, yes. The only time he sit still if we feed him his yummy (a.k.a yoghurt). Stacking toys... well I'd rather call it destroying toys. Puzzles. Nope. Oh no. Does that mean my baby is behind ?! *gasp*

Puzzle lesson/tuition it is. Haha.
