wow! you must be so proud of him!
how did you teach him? did you repeat the numbers to him everyday?
i started doing the lift number counting thingy with him for some weeks.. randomly .. cos not always free to remember to count .. glad he picks up !
and name of fruits also he can remember quite a number.. as i always ask him the name of the toy fruits we play chopping with.. he can say \"melon\" for watermelon, \"bana\" for banana..\"berry\" fro strawberry, \"apple\", \"orange\", \"ssimon\" for pessimon, \"mon\" for lemon\", \"grapes\"..\"kiwi\", \"pear\".. great achievement.. making me wanna buy for toy fruits for him haaa.. -

btw both my ds and dd are really different. i am enjoying the differences. the boys were tougher to handle when they were very young cos they were so active. they were more rash too, and often sustained injuries at home or the playground due to their daring stunts. they are also more vocal and loud.
between ds1 and ds2 there are differences too, but in general the above holds true.
as for dd now. she is quieter. she is calmer too, less screaming, less vocal. she is cautious. eg, she will slow down when she sees a step (and she will see the step, unlike ds1, who sometimes don't see the steps and just bulldoze through only to fall down), and then gingerly dangles her foot downwards, testing testing to see if the step down is a long distance away or is it just a small step.
very funny to see her doing all these testing.
then finally she will place her foot down on the step below.
she doesn't fall off the bed too, because she is more aware of the sides and edge of the bed.
on the other hand, because of her cautiousness, some gross motor skills would be slightly lagging behind her brothers (at the same stage).
i enjoy bringing her out with friends cos she is more social than her brothers too. can sit and look at us chat for a long time without being bored. my boys used to fidget within 5min and cry to be let out of the highchair or stroller. they hate shopping too.
however, this also translates into her being less vocal. eg. i also do the lift floor counting. almost daily if there aren't others in the lift. but for her, she likes to just smile when i point and count. and she will do the 1,2,3 with her fingers but not say anything.
the way she tries hard for the 2 and 3 is really hilarious. 1 is not a problem, it's easy. but the 2 and 3, she takes a long time to hold up those fingers and keep the rest down. very funny.

Kabby, thanks for sharing. Do you think the ordering plays a part too ? DD is the first born, who is not that loud (as she does not have anyone to fight for toys or scream etc), but she is a daredevil, she try out things, fall once, try again…but DS who is more cautious, he is like ur DD, he see cracks on the road, he will not cross first, he use his feet to touch, is ok, he walks on type… he takes things, he will put back to the original place… DD will anyhow throw… must remind then will pick up…
but yes, it’s interestin to see difference in them eventhough both come out from me… heee -
that's interesting! haha, good we have all these sharing. i attributed it to gender differences cos just so happened mine are boys first then this girl.
well, it could be birth order too. i don't know!
after having 3 kids and all are different, i still have no idea how it's supposed to be. But i guess that's what makes parenting so interesting right? Never a dull or boring moment. -
