DRAW....

One of Ace's favourite past time now is to bring the macna doodle board to me or any adult nearby and ask them to "Draaaaaaaaaaw.........."

And so, at this juncture, alot of adults will admit that they actually have very bad drawing skills. Hahaha.... and then we will entertain ourselves by asking the respective adults draw some things that Ace can recognize and if he recognizes it, it means the drawing is not to bad and the drawings pass.

Our favourite person to test this on is Ah Yee.. muahaha.. she was so happy when Ace recognized the fan that she drew.

I personally found this a very good way to help Ace learn new words. It seems that even if Ace cannot pronounce the word (he can only say single syllabus words with an exception to the word 'flower'), he still recognizes the drawings.

Using this method, Ace's vocabulary list has expanded... so now includes:

1. Sun
2. Cloud
3. Moon
4. Star
5. Square
   
6. Flower
7. House
8. Tree
9. Car
10. Bed
11. Chair
12. Shoes
13. Socks
    
14. Shirt
15. Pants
16. Shorts
17. Fan
18. Soup
19. Banana
20. Apple
21. Ace (he says tat when you draw a boy or write the word 'Ace'
22. Cake
23. Help
24. Hand
25. Eyes
26. Nose
27. Mouth
    

And after he is done, he will erase and happily tell you "No more!" and then laugh.

Sometimes though, he will do a 'colouring stunt' and 'colour' the whole board black with his scribblings. I think for just $5.90, the board is really a good investment and a cheap thrill1 ;)

Just one complaint. He always steps on them and has spoilt like 2 of them already. This is his third one..

Yeye decided then to buy white board with white board marker for him to draw cos he says "this one wouldn't spoil no matter how he jumps on it..."
