Monday... Saturday; 9 o'clock

I walked him to the park today and when I got near to the post office he said "mummy is going to post letters", I was just shocked! I then said to him "finished posting letters" when done.

Then we walked past the place where the "tuesday" playgroup is held, he dragged my arm saying "want go playgroup" (he recognised the building from across the road!). I explained to him that playgroup is closed on Monday... he didnt understand until I let him see through the window to see it all dark inside without anyone. As soon as I got home I told him these - monday: go Chatswood park, Tuesday: Masako playgroup, Wed: Music group, Thurs: Kids Cottage playgroup, Fri: Ivette's group, Sat: High school park ... he understood it straight away and having fun reciting it. We are delaying his time table till 9pm because he has been waking us up early for the last few days. I asked him "what time is it ?", he replied "nine o'clock", I went "bed time". Same correct answer for both English and Chinese. As of today, he can only read 9 o'clock from the clock.

A note on his sleep routine: it is SO SO easy no one would believe ... I don't have to say one word because as he is lying down in bed, he said "lie down", then when I try to carry out the act of covering him he says "cover quilt", then he said "close eyes" himself. I just say kiss goodnight and bye. Amazing...
