Pinky's 3rd birthday !

Pinky has now turned 3! At this age is were the preoperational stage begins. this when the child will develop to use symbols and apply this ability to symbolize with objects, to people. by the end of this stage, the child will understand the conceptof conservation. This is when children in the preoperational stage are egocentric, unable to take on another's point of view. All of his egocentrism is really annoying but in this cases patience and understandment is needed. For instance when we were in my other nephew's birthday and he didnt wanted to give the present to him and made a big scene. But there's a bright side to this, due to Pinky already being 3 and physically mature to leave the diapers behind, he is now completely toilet trainned! =D
