When i ask nicely, he puts his toys back into the box. He likes to wipe his own play area. He fetches me things. He takes his own diaper and dumps it in the bin after i wrap it up nicely.
2. He knows how to wave "goodbye".
He loves bathtime every evening. He grins from ear to ear when i start filling his bathtub, he'll even get spasms from the trickling warm water that runs through his fingers. After splashing around for a good 5-10 minutes, i'll take the towel and say "it's time to go" and he'll wave bye-bye to his bathwater.
Same with playgrounds and toys. With ample notice, he never creates a din when we have to leave a place.
3. Learning how to sign "Please", "Thank You" and "Sorry".
My boy can't talk very well but he sure does communicate. In the beginning he'll sign when we prompt him, but these days he says "please" organically IF he wants something badly enough.
He also nods and shakes his head.
4. He never lets anyone bully him.
I am usually quite worried that someone bullies him at the playground because he is so tiny. But on more than a couple of occasions i've witnessed him defend himself when the older kids push him or snatch his things. Of course he doesn't push back, but he'll always cry for help and cheer up the moment they apologize.
5. He is very affectionate.
He hugs other kids. Sometimes he kisses them.
Before Daddy leaves the house each day, he'll kiss Mountain Boy and Mountain Boy will kiss back. After that Mountain Boy always push mommy and daddy's heads together signaling that we should also kiss. At bedtime, he also must make sure that I kiss his Xiaoxiong, and xiaoxiong kisses him, and he kisses me etc, you get the idea.
The new nanny loves him to bits because he calls her "yi yi" and then he hugs her and pats her on the back.
I love you Mountain Boy. *mmmuack*
