Zech's morning routine

As part of the morning routine, Zech and I have our worship time after breakfast. We start off by having our praise time, using the Bible CD (picture shown below). Recently, I noticed he is more actively involved. He even enjoys some of the songs now, clapping his hands at the end of each song. Charismatic? Haha! He loves 'Walking with Jesus', 'Praise Him Praise Him', 'Come Bless the Lord', 'Ask, Seek and Knock' etc. Most of them are action songs and Zech attempts to use his drum, tambourine and maracas as accompaniment. But of course, there are songs that he doesn't like. :( For instance, 'Jesus loves the little children', 'Deep and wide'. I wonder why... I feel horrible everytime I struggle through these songs.

After praise time, we have story time. I used to read to him a short segment of his Bible book. It didn't work as he was simply not interested. Then I decided to use story CDs instead. He enjoys listening to them. So I rotate between 'I thank God for you' and 'Moses in the bulrushes'. The story of Moses is longer and he won't sit through  He usually wanders around in the room or looks at other books but I feel it's fine.

Finally, we have our quiet time where Zech sits down and reads his Bible books on his own while the CD plays Bible stories and songs. Just a week ago, we were struggling with this. A week later, he seems to know what is expected of him and he readily takes his books, sits down on the floor and does his own 'reading'. I'm proud of him! :)

Progress of Zech's new room

Our new flat is currently under renovation. It's exciting to see it 'grow' week by week. Especially exciting is my Zech's room! :) The theme for his room is different from the flat. I've decided on the jungle theme specially for him cos I want his room to be full of life, happiness and vibrancy, conducive for learning and of course, resting as well.

Colour for his room - in green and yellow.

Wall decal border.

My inspiration for a book display rack.

More storage space for Zech's books and resources.

Not forgetting fabric for new bedsheet and cushions.

Time is tight. Need to source for ceiling light, shelf, animal soft toys. Bought a tree decal online which will not arrive till at least 2 to 3 weeks later. This will probably be the last item to be put up. More updates next week on Zech's room...
