Agastya on extinction

Agastya when asked what happen to dinosaurs:

They're extinct. Do you know what extinct means? It means they're dead.

So I asked him how they became extinct.

His reply:

All the dinosaurs were hunted by the most powerful one which is Tyrannosaurus rex - T-rex so they're all dead. And then the other strong dinosaur which is triceratops have a fight with T-rex so they were both dead. So all of them are dead because they're all fighting with each other. Fierce animals do that.

I asked then what about tigers, lions etc, do they fight too?

Yes.

Do you think they will become extinct then?

He ponders for a while and then said:

Yes, but tigers won't. But if tigers fight with each other, one of them will die, and then it will go to heaven. And Batman never dies.

Excuse any spelling mistakes this is done via iphone and i can't spell t-rex.

Lila's report

Yep it's that time of the year again for Mama Bear to brag about her beloved little cub. For those people who aren't a fan of this Mama Bear, shoo. You can look away now.

Some of the lines from Lila's report:

* shows emerging autonomy in self-care - especially hand washing
[Now, this line came up in a lot of places, at least 2-3 times. This translates to 'she likes playing with water.' Nothing about hygiene whatsoever, methinks.]

* communicates well whilst playing pretend.
[Oh how she loves playing pretend. She'll be happily sitting in front of the mirror. Talking. Admiring herself. Over. And over.]

* uses available resources to create props to s upport role play "I'm shopping!" whilst hooking lots of bags on her arms.
[Oh dear.]

* is starting to have her own friends.
[I noticed this actually. She can name friends that I don't even know]

* responded to another child who was feeling upset and acted to make them feel better.
[She's very caring, and likes to meddle on everything. When she knows I'm upset with Aga, she'll try to distract me so her brother doesn't get in trouble. More so when she knows I'm upset with her. Her power of distraction comes very naturally to her, effortlessly.]

She loves her hairdo, anything that resembles make up, is obsessed with bright colours (nail polish), loves flowers (put all flowers on her hair), adores jeweleries, and is terrified of flies and ants. She'd go ballistic when she sees them. Wait until she sees lizard back home. Ha. I can't wait.

She writes! She can only write number 1 :D, but she does that perfectly so. Draws a good circle. Holds pencil correctly. Not very good at drawing, and wants everyone to draw Ee-ya (Lila) all the time.

She's growing up too fast...
