gentle heart

I borrowed a documentary dvd about bugs from the library and Yuta likes it. There were a scene where a mantis ate up a butterfly. He shouted for me everytime that scene came out. "mommy, look the mantis just ate the butterfly"!. The third time he shouted for me again and insisted i sit next beside him. "look he is going to eat up the butterfly". silence.. and we waited for that scene. "he just ate the butterfly, can you see that"! Me : OH NO!! poor butterfly.

when i realised how silence it became for a while, i turned to him and he was crying. I asked "are you scared"? "No,i dont want the mantis to eat the butterfly". Gave him a big hug and he never asked to watch that dvd again.

Penguin

I like to do work that both of them can do together. Put some ice cold water, some ice cube and some small figurines and they have all the fun. We all love penguins and have been reading alot about penguin. We talked about where penguins live, different type of penguin, their food etc. Later Yuta decided to pull out some fish from the fishing toy set and creating his own story about penguins and fish.

Im slowing down on math with Yuta for now. We are still working on teen numbers. For some reasons he is not so fond of me using the teen bead set. I used 2 dice to work with him. 1 dice with number 10 on all side and number 1-6 on each side for the other dice. He roll the dice and match up with number cards.
