Just popping in to update a little on our lives
MY UPDATES:
I have received great encouragement from fellow Ravelry mates and will be writing up a PDF pattern for the scarf
. Stay tuned for it! Many have even volunteered to test knit prior to the release to check for mistakes! I’m so touched by their kind gestures.
I’d probably work on it over the weekend.
SUNSHINE UPDATES:
Three days ago, I left the room I was in with Sunshine to get something from the living room. She called me, “Mummy?” and I replied, “Yes?” and she called me again. 3 times. And I replied, “Yes?” each time.
Then, she said, “I miss you…”
AWWWWWWWW! That was sooo sweet!!!!!!!
She’s been saying that a lot nowadays. And been asking for hugs more now.
Today, Nad turned off the fan and she walked into the room and casually pointed to the fan and asked him, “You off?”.
I burst into laughter while Nad replied, “Yes I did!”
That was SOOOO random and unexpected from her!
She’s also been trying to sing the ending part of the Alphabet song. She only gets as far as, “Now I know my……….. now I know my……… now I know my……..”
She also sings, “Row row row your poot…” and she breaks into laughter because she thinks ‘poot’ is funny.
She enjoys pulling her alphabets out of the bag and reads them out. She can name most of the alphabets and even can say some of the words that it begins with! (Ie, she would pull out ‘D’ and say, “D!” and then say “Dog!”)
The other day, she showed me an ‘X’ and she said, “Y!”. I told her that is not ‘Y’ but ‘X’. She then pinched the bottom part of the ‘X’ together and proudly showed it to me, now that it looked like a ‘Y’.
“Y!!!!”
Cheeky girl!!!!!
She’s also interested in the planets and the sun and the moon. We have the solar system as our desktop wallpaper and she happily points out, “Jupiter!” and “Mars!” and “Moon!” and “Sun!!!”
She can’t really pronounce the rest yet.
What else is she in to nowadays? Hmm… shapes. She can name triangle (“Triang”) and square, circle, moon (crescent), star (“tar!”), pentagon (funny she can pronounce ‘pentagon’ but not ‘star’?).
She knows colours like Orange, Yellow, Blue, Red and Green.
She can count from 1 to 10 and can say out the numbers at random when she’s being shown too.
Yep. We are proud of our little girl.
I hope she continues to enjoy her learning.
CHUBBS UPDATES:
I’m feeling the weight more and more now and there is a significant slow down in my walking pace. Getting harder to get comfy in bed as well.
He still moves around but is not as violent as before so I take it as a sign that he’s coming soon!
Debra is offering chocolate to people who guess his birth date right. Hahaha. But I’m not allowed to participate. Boo.
NAD UPDATES:
Nothing. He’s a boring person.
I leave you with this video. This is why everyone should knit/ crochet/ sew!!!!!

Rach is soooo sweeeet!! =)
Anyway, one thing I can tell you about language acquisition in children is that ‘st’ is a difficult cluster for them to produce. It’s just not a natural sequence of consonants in the word’s languages. So it’d take a while more for them to learn. But she’s doing really well! I would be so immensely proud of her too if I were you.

Sheila: Okay, will do an update on the animals soon!
Joyce: Ohh, no wonder! She can’t say “car” either. She says “tar” for ‘car’ too.
I’m just glad that she LOVES to learn and is always looking at us for approval every time she says something. She thrives on learning!
We’re not worried nor forcing her. Just let her learn at her own pace.

Hehe kids always learn the t,d,n,l, r, m ,p and b first. But she’s seems so intelligent I’m sure she would get it all in no time! =)
