Admittedly, one of the concerns that we had in letting Jadon go to his school is the tuition fee. His was much, much more than mine in law school and hubby’s exclusive school in college.
Anyway, after a month in school, Jadon has learned so much, including Chinese language!!! Hence, at almost 3 years old, he knows some words in Filipino, Spanish (thanks to Dora and Diego) and Chinese, and is slightly fluent in English. I know that INTONATION is very important in Chinese language. But then, that will be the role of his teacher. hee hee
Needless to say, we are glad to have enrolled Jadon in his school.
Jadon was playing Little Einstein’s Ocean Orchestra Adventure online wherein a musical instrument would be played and he had to choose the correct apparatus. He has this habit of asking for my answer.
Anyway, a wind instrument was played this time. I took one look at the choices and confidently told him that it was a tuba.
He turned to the monitor, stared at it for a few seconds and said, “Nanay, I don’t know.”
“A tuba, anak. It’s a wind instrument.”
He looked at the computer again, thought for a while, and exasperately gave me the I-don’t-know pitch.
I glanced at the choices. Mustering all my patience, I explained, “Anak, a tuba is like a french horn.”
“Oh, a french horn.” He then smiled and clicked the wind instrument.
Then the Little Einstein voice-over said, “You are correct. It is a french horn.”
While cleaning Jadon last night, we were discussing how he spent the day. I asked the usual questions on what he saw in the mall and how he liked the fountain.
Suddenly, he put his hand on top of my hand and said,
“Thank you wold…”
“What?” I asked. I was baffled, trying to find a connection between the mall and his words.
He looked at me in the eye with a smile and began again,
“Thank you Wold…”
“Ha?” I was getting impatient this time. We’re always encouraging him to express himself clearly so that everyone could understand him.
