Penguin RushIkhwan and his toys 1
In this first entry on Ikhwan and his toys, lemme introduce you to his 3 favourite toys. Not that he already knows which ones to be his favourites, just that these 3 toys seem to grab his attention the most.
The horse toy (above photo) is by Sassy and this is one horse in lots of different colors! As Ikhwan grows up, we hope the tufts of colorful ribbons on the horse’s head and tail would encourage him to realise that one of the uses of his hands is to touch.
The horse’s orange saddle can be pushed to hear the little pony making 3 different horse sounds. Yesterday, Ikhwan accidentally pushed the saddle while the toy was on his side. Seeing the expression on Ikhwan's face when he discovered that his action had caused the horse to neigh, was priceless and unforgettable.
One leg of the horse can also be pulled on to make the opposite limb get shorter. I've been demonstrating this to Ikhwan and at the same time teaching him the opposite of long is short. Four of its hoofed feet are filled with colorful beads and shapes that make different rattling sounds.
The toy manual says that the toy would encourage our baby to use all his senses together (sensory integration) which is important in his learning process.
The other toy is not made by any well-known manufacturer (I mean it has no brand and doesn't come with any manual) and is relatively cheaper. But the toy somehow always manages to calm our baby down whenever he's crying or in a bad mood.
Whenever we pull the string of the toy and the music plays, Ikhwan will normally cheer up and try to communicate with us. If we move the toy around him, he's slowly starting to follow where the direction of the music is going. The roof of the mushroom house which is in bright red with white polka dots also grabs his attention and sometimes his eyes are transfixed to the moving bird, bear and cat in the house, while the music is playing. No batteries required! :-)

My goodness, how handsome Ikhwan is, and how fortunate he is to have arrived in such a caring family. Your blog is quite beautiful and it is very apparent that Ikhwan's 'papa' is very proud of him. I will definitely be coming back to check on his progress!!!!
Hey, there... welcome to my blog and thanks for the compliments (on my blog, on Ikhwan and errr... on me, hehe). Look forward to 'seeing' you again and will return my visits to your blog every now and then too.. Cheers!!
