I Love You

Saturday, March 20, 2010

What does it means to JY?
Hmm... Nowadays she really use this word as frequent as a daily matters. Since when she start talk about “I love you”? A week before CNY I guess... Every night bed time, she will says "I Love You" and she will definitely comes and hugs you, laying down on your chest and sleep together. Before that she would just like to sing the Barney I love you song, holding your hand and sing along.. for very long time already.

But does she really understand about the meaning of “I love you”? Guess she can understand nowadays... last few days, she was telling me, “I love Barney”, then “I love Dora”, and yesterday morning when she wake up, I said “Good morning JY”, She replied “morning”, and while hugging her I said “I love you” and she replied “I love mama”... what a surprise!

Shopping

Friday, March 19, 2010

Today, I bring JY to Jusco after work... thinking of buying vege and some food for weekend. Quit long time I never bring her to super already.... hmmm since CNY, while buying new year shoe for her till today... its really tiring to bring her to super. Why?? She will keep running here and there once you let go your hand... but sometime I really don’t have enough hand you see... when I want to pay money, when I want to pay packing fee, or when I want to choose vege. Why don’t you put her in the trolley... now she is big enough to claim and stand up... even worst!

But today, she is just so different! Good girl, I should say JY is a good girl. When my two hand are not free. She will still standing there waiting beside you, or even if she walk away, just in short distance to you.... hmmm... guess she grow up already and can understand more...
What a lovely JY!

2nd Water Painting

Friday, March 5, 2010

JY does a second painting today... She has been asking and asking for "colour" after our first painting day. But I do not allow her to paint since that day, coz her flu has not recovered yet, and the weather is so bad that coz her flu got worse, her flame turn green on that day.

So I keep ignore her request or even say "No" to her. Until yesterday night I found out that she is like fully recovered... and this morning, very sure that she has no more flu, I decided to let her to have painting fun this morning.

This time, she does not press the paint brush as hard as first time (until the paint brush goes flat and open up the "hair").

And she even knows swoop the paint brush into the water so that the colour is diluted. Not so sticky and can't moves.

Good try for today, girl!

Opps... I even do some potatoes stamps. She loves it too. But I don't think this is a good try in deed. Wasting resources, not going to repeat this.

This time she has more colours to try on, for the first try, I given her Red, Yellow and Green. This time she has Yellow, Green, Purple, Orange, Blue ... Guess so, can't really remember...

Home Sweet Home Puzzle

Thursday, March 4, 2010

New toy for my JY.

All these while I am investing on puzzles ... different types, different difficulty levels of the puzzle... some or most are with the nanny... I may shot the photos on some other days...

But since yesterday... a new series of puzzle has introduced to her... and she responded well with this series... There are 8 pieces in a set. Made up of hard board instead of wood.

I started with one piece follow by 2 pieces after she get used with the first piece... and then add another one ... And I mix the puzzles and let her fix it...

I must keep exploring her interest...

(It can be found in Popular Harris Book store, JB)

Snake Puzzle

Thursday, March 4, 2010

I introduced this puzzle to JY some days before CNY. And she loves to play this piece.

The reason being, it is ABC related. She will definitely sing the ABC alphabet song until the ending with "now we learnt our ABC, next time won't you sing with me". She can sing the whole song, but she can't fix the puzzle in sequences.

Another reason for her to like this puzzle is that it is considered very challenging for her.

Why am I said so?

Looking in to it, it could be a very simple puzzle, but it is tricky in fact. I had bought this long time ago since last year around Oct' 2009. from KL. And I in fact did expose it to her at that time, but she don't really enjoy it.

The puzzle do require good finger motion skill and she felt very frustrated and keep throwing temple, that make me found that it is not easy to fix it at that time. I kept it for some time until recently before CNY, I took it out again, show it to her again.

This time around, her finger's motion are much matured and able to fix the puzzle, with less frustration.

The second tricks is that, it require you to remember ABC in sequences. Therefore, it required companionship. If you can't remember ABC sequences, then you can fix it. Obviously she like this also because mama for sure will accompany her and play together.

Every time, when she want to play this puzzle, she will for sure call me and ask me to sit together... with her gesture that showing me she need my help... I would need to remind her about the sequence, and sometime about the head and tail... it is really tough for her to play alone!

Surprisingly today, she shows a very big move... some of the sequences, she told and she fixed it by herself without me mentioned to her next alphabet.

Flash Card Class

Wednesday, March 3, 2010

See, what I did just now was...

I sent JY to Smart Little Beans (小豆豆) flash card reading class for a trial reading

and guess what was happen....

Obsolutely right... JY was crying over there.

I guess JY is not ready yet... She never stayed with others (stranger) without papa, mama or nanny.

What was in my mind? it is quite wasted if she just stop all sort of flash card activities, since I kept all since yesterday, she could have stopped or even forget slowly... So I plan to send her to those with professional teaching methods instead.

End up, she cried and sad... pity girl~

Guess... I need to send her there after she start schooling, know more about the big environment...

Quit before she get bored!

Wednesday, March 3, 2010

Lesson learned!
I must always remember this!

JY no longer likes flash card... especially those Chinese flash card. She don't really like Chinese reading, so whenever I lead her to Chinese reading material, she will definitely waves her hand or shakes her head and tell me "不要" (No). A bit side track... In fact she don't like flash card nowadays, neither of the languages she likes.

In fact I should have learned this before...

I have started letting her reading books, flipping books when she was just a baby... she loved it a lot, as she don't have the chance to flip book in the old nanny house. So whenever she came home, she really loved to flip book whenever she just reached home... spending quite some time with the books...

Well, I changed nanny when she was 1.5 years old, for certain reasons (Its really long story to tell). And this new nanny definitelyallowed her to read books as much as she likes. So, she is totally expose and free to touch books all the time, at nanny house and when she is back to home, we pick her back to home everyday after works.

After some time, she no longer had interest with all those books. Not even want to touch all those books.

While my principle is, I don't want to force her to do whatever that she don't like, although I want her to do something, like having a good reading habit. I will think out some ways to draw her interest instead.

So what I do is, I keep all those books for sometime. Buying new books, look for interesting books, wide varieties, trying to draw her interest. And I will keep all these books in the bed room. So, she really don't have chance to look at books when she is with nanny house. She will only expose to book and flash card when she is ready for sleep (I will definitely prepare her to have some spare time before sleep). One rule that I apply is: No other toys except books and her soft toys (tends to have sleeping partner for her, tell you the story another day). So she is quite bored before sleep, nothing to do, except singing, exercising, play pretends.... so she will touches those books... flip through... while I always do this, read her books load and purposely not to invite her to read together... She would curious with what I am looking at and come and read together with me, or take away my book and read it herself. With this... she tends to have reading habit at night before sleep... Sometime, she may want to bring one or two toys to the room... and I will say "No." to her and she really can understand and bring out those toys from the room!

Ya, I should say JY is really an obedient kid...

Opps, back to the flash card story... She is just get bored with the flash card... Its my mistake again. The flash card is just too much for her... its about 8 sets with 40 pieces each set!

And the end results is, spending too long time to flash the card till she lost interest with it...

I am taking the same steps like the reading case... keep all the flash card since yesterday night... But I haven't think out of what I suppose to do next...

But this lesson must be learned! Quit before she get bored!
