At 2 years and 3 months, my baby is reciting rhymes in English and Tamil! He knows the English alphabets, numbers till 10 and mostly speaks in sentences. I really can't believe how many words he has picked up and how much he is stringing them together in the last 2 months. Each day, we look forward to what new things he has picked up at school. The teacher says h
e loves to sit in the classroom now, and does all the pre-school activities with the older kids, although he is still only in the playschool. Here he is, dressed for the Independence Day celebrations at school. More photos in his website.
The not-so-cute side is that he has started to push people around. He typically does that when someone is affecting him and he shows his irritation to the people closest to him by hitting or pushing them. He has also pushed a couple of kids at school; but I heard that it happened from both sides and the teacher just laughed it off. Our continuous nagging this last month to not do so seems to have had a slight impact. He is one strong kid though and that is what worries me.
He's made a few girl friends at his grand mom's place and they have taken such a huge liking to him. The girls are a couple of years older and are that much more mature. It is amazing to see such young kids handling a younger kid so well!
One thought that is going through my head now is when should I put him in Kindergarden at school? Next year at admission time, he would be 3 years and 2 months, and hence not eligible (cut off of 3.5) to a lot of the good schools. Should I admit him to a school which has a cut off of 3 years for admission, or should I wait till 2009, when he would be 4 years old?? Any thoughts on this would be most welcome.
