Mateen's Recommendation

Watch this! It's the coolest video ever. http://www.hasbro.com/monkeybartv/default.cfm?page=Entertainment/Videos/VideoSelect&aid=1420



"I DON'T SPEAK MANDARIN YOU KNOW!!!!!"

That's what Mateen loudly declared when we mooted the idea of him going for Mandarin class. He's gone for 2 lessons so far and seems to be enjoying it though he still likes to pretend he couldn't care less about it. Or so I'd like to think! :?

I'm making big efforts to speak to him in Mandarin so he'll be more receptive and pick it up faster. It's quite enjoyable an experience for myself actually.

So far, he's learnt about fruits: apple, watermelon, banana, strawberry, orange and papaya. Quite good at reciting a rapper version of a fruit rhyme :) Oops! I sound too much like a boasting mummy now...

I'm very conscious of not stressing him out with this Mandarin class. It really should be more fun then a tearing-my-hair-out session right?

In the light of Mateen almost being as almost net-savvy as me, I figured I'd better jump on the Info Tech band wagon before he catches up with me. So this blog has been created as some sort of practice and keeping up with the hi-tech times.

Also, this is an opportunity for me to air my concerns, joy and apprehensions about motherhood and this baby who is growing up really quickly.
