Educational stuff

given my profession, i actually bought quite a few of storybooks.. not for wat, is for my teaching purpose.. i need to conduct CME lessons, so sometimes by having some storybooks with me, i can find some relevant stories to share with the children..

So when i was preggy with Jaden, he will also get the chance to read them in the future..

B4 delivering, i actually bought some vcd cartoons too.. i bought those childish types like Mickey Mouse, Tom & Jerry etc.. no Transformers or fighting cartoons.. coz i think it'll b a bad influence for the children..

I always discourage letting babies watch TV early.. not any earlier than 6months... but readings say tat the appropriate age to start letting them watch shld b 1 year old n above.. when Jaden unconsciously turn his head to the TV, i will block his view.. coz if allowing babies to watch tv too early, in the future, his attention span will b v short..

Jaden is turning 7 months old in a few more days' time.. i think he can b introduced to TV now.. but not long.. 5min...

Some parents v lazy, refusing to spend time with their babies, so let them watch TV or cartoons, so tat they can b diverted.. n parents can take a breather.. but mind u, babies now dun need anything but our communication n play with them...

Yest noon, bought a few more cartoons.. n stories, n sing song karaoke... played Mickey Mouse cartoon for Jaden.. he watched a while, amused by the movement in the TV, he started laughing at the cartoon.. the scenario is simply too funny, but i had no chance to video down as he was sitting on my lap tat time...

FIL also bought him toys.. those can read ABC, or read words, spell out words.. music included too!! he loved the toys! though still dunno how to play.. but when we pressed for him to hear, he likes it.. He shld start to get in contact with such educational stuff, as he will b learning more skills in the upcoming months too...

I dun dare to hope tat he will b SO clever in the future.. i just wish he can learn watever he shld n acquire the necessary knowledge... keep it up, my son!
