Almost 3!

Updates on Sara:

She has improved tremendously in her speech, very clear pronunciation that some of my colleagues were surprised.

And she finally goes to school without crying and walking in all by herself!!! Took a lonnnnng time but the moment eventually came!! Super proud of her. It's been a week plus since she just changed overnight.

She could recite part of the Singapore's pledge, sing part of their national anthem. Sadly, she doesn't have a clue about our Msian national anthem.

In the midst in getting ready for the house, we have been going up and down JB looking for furnitures, lightings, etc. So here, is a pic of us fooling around while waiting for our pizza at Vivo, in Jusco Tebrau City. Sara just loves it there because of the entertainment park. Surprisingly, it's the same in all Juscos.



Here, seen following us around looking for kitchen and toilet accessories. :)



Happy to find her little kitchen in IKEA.



And one day, just one day, we found her sleeping like this. :))))


On the way out somewhere again, following us to do some shopping...


Oh yeah.. JB again! To finalize her double deck bed. So happy to have this! Hoping when we move over she will learn to sleep in her own bedroom.



Testing out her motor skills. She was quite scared to climb up on this initially, but she overcame her fear eventually. Proud you!


Last but not least, taken just yesterday where we had to take the bus and train back home. She was so excited and kept on asking me questions about why the bus is not moving yet, why is the driver like that, etc. Ah.. simple pleasures in life where we always take it for granted. :)

Aside to this, she has also learnt very much in advance (for her age) to count! I did a simple pictorial calculations for her to match with the numbers, and she could count and match to the numbers. Aside to that, in our daily life, we also unconsciously are teaching her addition and substraction. Just by following our fingers. :) And spelling, so proud to know she can spell words like: Mama, car, stop, go, book, dog, god, cat, Sara, smile, happy, Bible...

Besides adding more rhymes and music to her music database, she loves to talk. In the why-why stage now. We are still amazed at her progress and her response not only to education, but to life questions, as a whole. I'm learning so much from my little 2yrs and 11 months old toddler. She, is an example of how boxed-up mindedness we adults can be at times. And how straight and normal our answers should always be. I asked her questions, which in my mind, I know what-should-be the right answers, but she surprises us with answers not in my list but answers which makes perfect sense, seen from a different perspective!

Dearest darling Rara, when you read this next time, you must know that Daddy and Mummy is so proud of you. Muacks!
