ACHIEVEMENTS

i thank God for a wonderful night sleep last night. it was good because none of my children came into our room to disturb us. some, in fact, most of the nights, they would take turn to come in to our room, either to attempt to co-sleep with us on our bed, or trying their luck to see if they could get a bottle of milk by making whinning noise... (of course, in order to stop those actions from becoming their habits, we, most of the time me as dw needs to work the next day, will either threaten to cane them, or drag them back to their room and stay there for a while...

last night, it was sooooo peaceful. i remember i sleep till i drooled and snored like what...

this morning the children were very well behaved too. yongen woke up at 645am, asking for milk while yongqi did the same thing at about 7am. after milk, yongen brushed her teeth and washed her face, all by herself. then she changed into her uniform, again all by herself. later then she wore her sock and shoes without giving me any problem. hmm... i like it when my gal does everything herself. she has learnt to be very independant. nowadays, she even shower herself. i will only do a last check to ensure she is clean from dirt stain and soap.

yongqi has achievement too. out of 26 alphabets, he has recognised 14! that is to say, 12 more to go... and with brief intro to numbers, i think he is now able to recognise 2, 5, 7, 8 and 9. hey, i only taught him once from 1 to 9 for about few minutes! he is learning fast! same goes with the alphabets, i only officially introduced A B C E O S the rest G K L M N R T W, he caught them by himself while he points and sing the ABC song, as well as from the playhouse disney's word world and sesame street.

talking about the 'word world', this program has made my gal very interested in spelling. she would try to memorise the spelling of words she sees. now she is able to spell simple words like cat dog pet rat net ball etc wow, i am so proud of my children!
