Our nightly routine...

In the new house at Clementi, the sleeping arrangement is as such:
Yeye - enjoys own room
Ah Mah & Tessa - share master bedroom's queen-sized bed
Mommy & Dylan - share playroom's two single mattresses

So Dylan and I have our own nightly routine before we sleep. Instead of reading him a bedtime story, we will go into a routine of milk, wish everyone goodnight, light off, admire the "twinkling" stars in our room, sing a series of songs together and recite numbers or the alphabets.

For the past few nights, I have been teaching Dylan the alphabets. This is what he has achieved so far.

A for APPLE
B for BALL (sometimes he'll say BEAR)
C for CAT
D for DUCK (sometimes DOG)
E for ELEPHANT
F for FISH
G for xxxx (I still have not made out what he was saying)
H for HAT
I for IGLOO
J for JUICE (sometimes JET)
K for KITE (sometimes KING)
L for LION
M for MONKEY
N for NEST
O for OCTOPUS
P for PIG
Q for QUEEN
R for RABBIT
S for SUN
T for TIGER (sometimes you just hear him roar)
U for UMBRELLA
V for VIOLIN
W for WATCH
X for XYLOPHONE (but you'll only probably hear PHONE)
Y for YOYO
Z for ZEBRA
It takes some time before you actually hear what he says, but as his mom, I understood him perfectly.

Yes my boy, at 18 months old, knows his alphabets. :)
