Dermatoglyphics Code Test / 皮纹密码测验

The first time I heard about Dermatoglyphics Code Test / 皮纹密码测验 is from my sister. Then today I was visiting kindergarten and one of the teacher told me about this test again.

This is a test for kids, base on 10 fingers' prints. It is said the test will find out children talents & potentials, strengths & weaknesses. This will aid in adopting appropriate teaching method and not wasting time pushing the kids to learn something they are totally not fond of.

Any mummies have any opinion about this test?

What else can do with color pencils?

Xiang was innovative in playing. Lately, he discovered that the holes on his table are just nice for his color pencils to pass through.

I’s fun to him and I just let him played with it lor (of course under our supervisions). I guess it could train his eye and hands coordination as well.

saliva

Xiang’s saliva has been dribbling non-stop since he was 2 months old. He’s going to be 2 years old next month but there’s no improvement. We are constantly asking him to close his mouth or swallow every time. But if he is too engrossed in playing, he never listened to us. His shirt will be wet in half an hour if we didn’t wipe with handkerchiefs. All his toys have traces of his saliva … yeah … yucks!!!

*sob sob sob* ... when the saliva stream will stop ?!!

notice his totally wet-shirt-front?

rock n roll!

I felt that my 9 months gal Qi is more sensative to songs compare to her brother.
She rocks when she heard songs which she liked, or when she tasted something nice and even when we pick her up from babysitter. Sometimes, she'll rock when we asked her to dance. Here's a clip of her.

face of moon

Anyone noticed the smiling moon yesterday night?

We went out to buy some stuff and Xiang noticed it! It was really nice!

Xiang kept on saying: "moon ... mouth ... moon ... mouth" while pointing to his mouth at the same time. (the moon looks like a smiling mouth which I usually draw when playing with him)

Too bad that when I wanted to take a picture, one of the 'eyes' was blocked by cloud. Anyone got the picture? I wanted to make a scrapbook for my son and would like to include this!

Go to sleep!!!

10pm

Mummy: Xiang, let's go to bedroom!
Xiang: 上去....上去 ！
(go up, go up)

10.10pm
Xiang: mummy，pillow，pillow 。。。
mummy，chut chut，chut chut 。。。
(note：chut chut = paci）

10.12pm
Xiang: 开barney ，mummy 拿
(he wants to watch Barney & ask me to take down from cabinet)

10.30 pm
He slipped out of bed, open the cabinet, looking for his next toy.
Mummy: 好了，睡觉了！
(just trying my luck to ask him to sleep)
Xiang: 不要，不要！
开baby，mummy 拿
[Luck was not on my side as usual. He asked to watch YourBabyCanRead. Well, it's a good DVD, so ok ...]

10.50pm
He slipped down from bed again, open my closet this time.
Mummy: 好了，mummy 累了，睡觉了！
Xiang: 不要，不要！mummy 拿 book ... book
[Reading is good. So, ok ... again]

11.10pm
Mummy: OK, let's sleep now!
Xiang: 不要，不要！ 下去，下去 !
(he wants to go downstairs!)
Mummy & Daddy: NO! SLEEP NOW!!!
(with very stern voice)
Xiang: 哇! 哇!! 哇!!!
(crying so loud that he woke up his sister. )
Mummy: ok, ok, ok …
(I gave up and let him do whatever he liked - usually played with hankies from my closet)


11.25pm
Mummy: Xiang, let's sleep now ....
(very sleepy and with little energy left)
Xiang: mummy 拿…

sigh ... all this can go on and on ...
so when he reached the limit, i'll just slam shut everything, ignored his screaming/crying and off the bedroom light. But, because of he cried so hard, sometimes he'll have bad dreams.

I have no idea how to train him to sleep once step into bedroom ???
