Caroleen’s Treasures

So our little guy, who is 10 months and 16 days old today, can now clap his hands and he does it with great pride. The picture can tell. I realized that teaching my baby should be in a fun fun fun way and doing it just a couple of times a day is just perfect. So after showing how I do it for four days, he did it all by himself the other day!!!! Isn’t that wonderful? Sometimes he gets confused what he was asked to do, whether to clap or close and open his tiny hands. Can’t blame him because the two goes with a song that has the same tune. LOL So each time he closes and opens his tiny hands when I ask him to clap, I will hold his hands and clap it for him. He is really making us proud. Read more… »

Oh yeah! Our little guy now knows how to do the classic “close-open” thing (and I think he is back to his old self who loves the camera).  maybe if I could have devoted more time in teaching him that, he could have learned to do it earlier because I have been showing him how to do it for just less than a minute two or three times a day. I do not know if this is taught to babies in other parts of the globe. Basically, it’s the opening and closing of the hand while you sing “Close open…close…open” over and over again until your baby gets tired or bored. LOL

I still did it yesterday but he just looked at the movement of my hand. I would hold his wrist so he would know that I wanted him to follow me but he will just stare at it blankly. This morning was a surprise. He moved his tiny fingers in “close-open” motion! You should see him move his tiny fingers while I sing the song. So cute!!!!  Love you balong! You make me so proud! The Daddy is so proud too that his son now knows something other than eating. hahahahaha! of course he knows more than eating and ‘close-open’. He’s very smart baby and nobody dare argue with me because this is my OWN blog. hahahahaha!
