Joel and Mathew Now



I almost abandon this blog. It seems difficult to maintain two blogs and keep consistent with them both. But today, as i read through again the moments I wrote down here it gives me pleasure. They are not in vain. At least, I can observe my children development since my brain to small to contain all events.

Joel is now going to the structure kindergarten with other international kids. He's very happy meeting peers and build relationship with them. Still need time to adjust, because Korean not his language.

Joel shows prominent skill in visual art. This answered our anxiety why he didn't interest in acquiring speaking skill. He would immerse himself in drawing for hours everyday and produces numerous art papers. He started to create his own robot character now and named it "Audi TT". One day, he surprised me by writing his name and other words in reverse (the way that we could read from the mirror).

He is now 4,5 yo still talking with unclear pronunciation but actively speaking (we can say he is now talk active). He uses complex statement and most of the time with correct grammar. He still can't recall story like other kid in his age does, but he can draw what he saw in detail.

And Mathew (1,5) is very active little baby with high curiosity. He is in charge at home and makes everything upside down. He still not utter a meaningful word but actively doing conversation through body language.

Both of my babies are behind their language milestones, i guess. But need no worry because they are showing no intellectual deficit at all. It just need time and patience to be a mother. Btw, boys usually talk later than girls, people say.
