confused "a" / where are u?

Went to Ikea to play in the afternoon after my nap. There was a girl sitting and spinning the egg-shape chair and I gave a cheeky look and said loudly "girl!" and sign it. The girl's mum laughed at my cute remark and so were mum & dad.

I was looking for dad and said "where are you?" as well as in mandarin "你 在 哪 里?". This is because I am able to recall mummy read me a chinese book title "你 在 哪 里？”

Mummy noticed I am confused with the letter "a" when read book. I said "a" as in alphabet sound instead of "er". Dad said I will configure it out sooner or later.

weight increase

Daddy had a minor operation on his leg at Paragon medical centre. Mummy and I accompanied dad. Mum saw a weighing scale and weighed me. I weighed 12kg now (increase from 11.6kg). Dad on MC for a week. Poor daddy :(

where are u? / 三 字 经 (video)

After my noon nap for 3 hours (1-4pm), played hide & seek with mummy again. I hide at a corner outside my room and said "where are you?" and peeked at mummy and said "I see you!". Mummy can't help but laughed at my action. During nappy change, I managed to say the 1st 2 phrases of 三 字 经 on my own but of course, my mandarin speaking still not so fluent but manageble to hear. Mummy managed to video me recite the last word of each 3 characters (spoken softly at times). My sudden interest of " 三 字 经".

三子经 (part 2)

As mentioned in my previous blog on my 22th mth's achievements in May, mummy read me the next few phrases and whenever I saw the mini-book of 三子经, I am so happy and said it loud 三子经!

Mummy noticed I am particularly remember the last words of each 3 characters and especially the last phrase of the word and will shout it.

Below are the next phrases I know in highlight red color.

养 不 教， 父 之 过，教 不 严， 师 之 惰， 子 不 学， 非 所 宜， 幼 不 学， 老 和 为

玉 不 琢，不 成 器， 人 不 学， 不 知 义， 为 人 子， 方 少 时， 亲 师 友， 习 礼 仪

I kept asking for "人之初”in the morning when I wake up and while mummy wash her face in her room. Mummy knows what I want and switch on the vcd for me to watch as the songs are very catchy and I jump on the bed happily. "yeah!"

And daddy too....trying to learn the 三子经 and whispers on my ear and I kept giggling, smiling away happily too! It tickles....

sentence words

Lately I am very cheeky....playing hide & seek with mum & dad. Dad hide behind a chair outside our house corridor and I noticed dad not around and said "no more" and look for dad. I saw dad and said "I see you!" and they burst into laughter!

I am trying to speak into sentence words now. 2 - 5 words (eg. I like eat grapes....please, sit on bed). And I like to say bye-bye to this & that (bye-bye cat, crab, duck, penguin, fish ---my bath toys!).

And I managed to say chinese 十一 到 二十 (11-20).

read books

Reading "Goodnight Moon 123" book by Margaret Wise Brown. Mummy is very pleased and proud of me that I am able to read books though she had to point word by word and also I can even read the text handwritten by mummy (refers to yesterday's blog).

"Not bad for a 22th months old girl" mummy said as she thought toddlers will start to read after 2 years old.

Trying to read "That's not my truck" book by Usborne. I like this series of "That's not my .....".


@Vivo - waterplay with sis kana & aunt eileen.

I like to play with water much now even at home while mummy preparing bath for me and wants to feel the water splash on my body with the waterhose.
after my noon nap from 2:25pm - 4:15pm.....feeling fresh and happy and I want to....
jump!

read handwritten "goodnight moon 123" / songs

Played with sis Chen Xin & her helper. Mum got to know them at Ikea when I just started to learn to crawl! As it is school holiday now, her mum brought them there to play.

Out of sudden, mummy wrote down the 1st 3 pages of "goodnight moon 123" text on paper and test if I can read. Yes, I can! But the background noise make it harder to listen, therefore have to raise the speaker volume ;)


My current favourite songs are "teddy bear"
- do the action "turn around" and "fall right down!"

and also "大 象” - elephant nursery rhyme song.
