Learning & Teaching Numbers

Max is such a player. 

He loves to enjoy + play + learning at the same time. 

If I sit and get serious with Max, Max doesn't like it. 

He doesn't like serious study mood. 

And of course He can't sit still more than few minutes. 

He is a super busy boy even at  home 

He plays likes he is outside! 

When I show him flash cards all the numbers, alphabets and Animals etc.. 

He is not into it. 

and tell me

Stop it!!! 

I don't want to!! 

when I sing A B C D E F G~~~ 

Max said

Mommy be quiet!! 

stop it please! 

When I sing Animal farm song.

Max hates it. 

He sings other songs at the same time when I sing.

or

tells me stop sing! 

He just want me to be quiet. lol 

I have to think How can I teach Max and make him have fun?? 

I was just showing those floor matte numbers to Max, Max didn't like it.

So I brought his cars and put on the top of numbers and started to play by myself. 

Max was looking at  me and asked

Mommy what are you doing?? 

He was showing his interest.

He counted numbers once from 1 to 15 

but just once.

He never did it again lol 

Now He says 

1,2,3,4,11,12,13, 14

He just skips between 5~10! 

I have to make him into it. 

He was playing with wooden blocks which has numbers and alphabets and pictures on them.

When I read numbers and show the blocks Max didn't even look at me. 

But when Max plays with Blocks of his way -

I interrupt and I want my B!! (B block)

AND

steals it from Max 

Max  laughs and says

No mommy B is mine! 

 B is mine 

Can I have that?

Can I have B??? 

lol

and then I show him B side of block 

and say ok Max B is yours. 

I repeat this way 

few more times 

start with Alphabets and Numbers..

And I also pretend 

Max!! C is gone!!! 

Where is C???? 

Max says 

Mommy I can help you! 

and start to look for any alphabets and shows me

if its c 

If he is right

I say 

Thank you Max!!

You are such a great helper!! 

and If He pick the wrong one

I pretend its very emergency 

Max keep showing all the blocks and ask me if its C.

I say No its D~ where is C?? 

Max bring G 

I say No Max it's G

We repeat repeat till Max find C.

This way Max is learning so far 

lol
