Having a son…

Motherhood Vyktore

…means I have to know all means of transportation.

…means I have to know the names of all type of fishes.

…means I have to know what are the different type of dinosaurs.

…means I have to know all the different types of Shark & Whale family.

Cause that is what Vyktore loves most.

photo taken during our trip to HCM last year. HCM Zoo. When he say this, he ran there and requested a photo to be taken.

Vyktore is in a very chatty phase currently. Not only that, he loves to ask question to reassure that we are giving him consistent correct answer.

Annie bought this book for him that is full of fishes & even numbers. He love this book to bits & he remembers all the name of the fishes & sea creatures in the book. Read till a few of the pages are missing O.o.

Conversations on sea creatures

Vyktore: Mahmi, what fish is this?
Mommy: What is this? Harlequin Tuskfish.
Vyktore; Yay..This fish got blue teeth. Don’t bite people one.
Mommy: Ya, don’t bite people.

Vyktore: Mahmi, what fish is this?
Mommy: This is Parrot Fish.
Vyktore: Yay…Parrot Fish eat coral

Vyktore: Mahmi, this is Sord (Sword) Fish.
Mommy: Yes..swordfish.
Vyktore: This one poke people one…poke poke poke (he did a poking action with his hand)

Vyktore: Mahmi, this is Yau Yue.
Mommy: This is Octopus. Say Octopus.
Vyktore: No, it’s yau yue.

Vyktore: Mahmi, this is killer whale. This is leopard shark. This is blue whale.

And he goes on and on verifying all the sea creatures.

When he doesn’t know the name, he’d insist I name it, he will not he happy if I just call it fish O.o. Help, I need a fish encyclopedia.

He doesn’t like to go to school still :(. So I’ve been trying to tell him that if he doesn’t cry for a fair amount of days, I will buy him a big shark.

So each day, while on our way to school, here’s our conversation:

Mommy: Vyktore. Today go school don’t cry OK. Everyone also go to school. Jie Jie, Gabriel…
Vyktore: Raphael also go..
Mommy; Ya, Raphael too :). So you don’t cry, you clever boy OK.
Vyktore: Yay…Afterwards Mommy buy big shark for you (me).
Mommy; Yes..only if you don’t cry for x days, but this morning you wake up you cry woh..

  1. Wah, he really know his fish wor… ask me I sure dunno. If my kids consistently ask me for specific fish or animal names, I guess I will have to sit more at the desk and Google! LOL!

  2. it’s really nice chit chatting with the kids.
    lucky vyktore likes fish, just imagine if he ask u to name dinosaurs. #pengsan#

  3. When the kids r interested in something, the parents’ knowledge oso increases. 🙂 My kids don’t hv any particular interest. Hmmm… shld I be thankful or worried?

  4. Kids tend to ask so many questions. Sometimes, encouraging them to find out the answers themselves can help them to discover and learn more..
