petronia Have not been successful in controlling screen time lol. But in the past week Alan started saying farm animal noises, only when prompted (eg. "What does the horse say?"). So far horse, sheep, duck, chicken, in a mix of Chinese and English. He also says bye-bye now, instead of just waving. And he's getting pretty good at pointing to the right photo in his 100 words book, even when it's something he's only seen pictures of (eg. a frog).
Still no yes/no, although he's taken to shaking his head when a song video comes on that he's lukewarm about. So not only screen time, but he's picky about it. :P
Bought flotation vest but have not had a chance to use it in the pool. On Saturday we went to the market and the park instead, where we bumped into the cheerful 3-year-old from the other time, this time with mom, little bro, and water gun (until the inevitable time out). Alan was sprayed in the face a few times and was O_O but not upset - he was focused on snatching away other people's toy buckets so he could play games of his own devising. (I was a lot like that as a child: other kids could join me, if they liked.)
On Sunday we went to A's second birthday party down the street. There were more people in closer proximity than I would have liked, albeit a much smaller party than A's first, but I did after all decide to go so fingers crossed. >_< Alan enjoyed himself immensely as there were many balloons and balls and wheeled toys -- as predicted, no interest in attempting to ride birthday girl's new balance bike, a lot of interest in figuring out how the wheels are attached. Both afternoons he downed a bottle of milk then slept like a stone for hours. But it does seem that the more he tires himself out playing, the worse his appetite becomes the following day.
