Revising "How smart is your baby".

Aloysius is now sleeping since 1pm. We brought him down for a swim. When we came back, he was so tired and could not wait to sleep. His daddy made some milk for him, fed him, and he started to sleep till now. We are now waiting for him to wake up to go for his Shichida lesson.

While waiting, I am revising “How smart is your baby”, and reading the relevant section for Aloysius’ stage of development – Stage 4. For the visual and auditory program, it’s about pictures cards and words cards, which we have been doing. It is very important to introduce the environment to Aloysius at this stage by telling him the names of the things around him. We gotta tell him the names of things when we go for a walk. Hmm… How to tell him the names of the plants which I do not even know? :( I wish I am a botanist now… According to GD, at this stage, he will begin to point at everything, and he wants to hear the name of everything. We also need to teach baby about time frame and start using words like “now”, “not now”, “before”, “after”, “later”.
