30-month-old reading progress (books)

My princess is officially 2 1/2 years old now. Time to do the recording for her latest reading progress before I lost track again. (My girl is growing up and her mother is obviously growing old. T_T )

She can converse in a longer sentences since 27-month-old. My princess never stop surprising us with her words. I feel happy that she can express herself better now.

Some sentences that makes us laugh:
1) Daddy, let's go and find some grapes! (pull her daddy's finger to the kitchen)
2) I don't want iTouch, iPad please. (quite demanding nowadays)
3) Watch Disney Junior/Baby TV/Mickey Mouse Clubhouse/ Elmo/WordWorld/Rob the Robot/Special Agent OSO/Barney and friends/Snowies/Animal Mechanical/Little Einstein/ Chuggington/ Thomas and friends, Octonauts, Pocoyo, Pororo the penguin, Dibo the gift dragon, Jungle Junction, Handy Manny, Jojo's circus, etc (She can specify the program she wants to watch and sometimes she loves to change the channels)
4) Where is my remote control? Oh! The remote control is under the pillow. Here you are!
5) Daddy is not here. Daddy goes to work/office/Australia/Kuala Lumpur.
6) Let's go out/downstairs/upstairs. Daddy is back. Hooray!
7) I want milk milk, baby tv and towel please. (that's her basic need, must drink her milk and watch tv + cuddle with her towel.)
8) I'm hungry. I have to eat. I need bowl and spoon.
9) Let's dance. Shake shake shake.
10) Oh my! My towel is missing. Where is my towel?
11) Guitar is for music.
12) Oh my goodness! I don't like this.
13) Oh dear! What should I do? Help.
14) Don't be scared. It's ok, mummy.
15) It's ok. I'm a strong girl. (she will tell this to herself whenever she fell down without crying)
16) I don't want blue towel. I want my pink towel.
17) Ouch! It's so painful.
18) So itchy. Itchy iguana.
19) So many colors. Beautiful colors everywhere.
20) So heavy! Help. I'm so strong!
21) Drink water. I don't want to drink milk. I want water.
22) Some more milk please, mummy please.
23) Grandma likes to exercise in the garden.
24) This is a blue color pencil.
25) Daddy is driving. So dangerous.
26) The baby is so cute!
27) Be careful. Walk slowly. (she will say this whenever she tries to walk up the staircase without our help)
28) Daddy, faster! Hurry up! (she will shout out loud when her daddy is laying eggs in the toilet)
29) Daddy is so slow. Slow like a turtle.
30) It's getting ready, connecting with Facebook. Ok. Now Tap to play.
31) Color like a rainbow.
32) What a glorious day!
33) I love you, mummy. (when her daddy request her to say, "I love you, daddy", she will always say the other way round, break her father's heart happily.)
34) Mummy, where are you? What are you doing? Come here.

My princess knows how to pretend, such as imagine the Elmo (plush toy) is crying, and she will say "Elmo is crying. He is hungry. He wants to drink milk. His diaper is so wet." Or she will hold her watering can toy and pretend she has a garden full of flower patches. She will go and water the plants and said "beautiful flowers." Sometimes she will pretend to cook, and pass her daddy or me the "food" to munch. At times, she will pretend herself as a giraffe, eating the toy tree leaves. @.@

My princess is better in her motor skill now. It can be showed when she tries to do coloring. She knows how to adjust better and color the part where she wants. I think she is quite artistic as she always start from red, follow by orange, yellow, blue, green and so on to mix the color together. If she color brown, she will mix with black. My hubby and I feel quite surprised that she can do it without us teaching her.


Colours:
She can say out the mixture of the colours.
Blue + Red = Purple
Blue + Yellow = Green (will still forget at times)
Red + Yellow = Orange
Black + White = Grey
Red + White = Pink


Seasons:
She can say out and differentiate the 4 seasons and pretend to shiver when she mentioned winter. Very funny.
Spring
Summer
Autumn
Winter

For her reading progress, she can start reading in paragraph confidently since 27-month-old. There was one time when she was sitting on my lap and I was busy replying SMS, she looked up and read out my message loudly. Sounds funny but really have to watch out this girl who can read our 'secrets' from our iPhones now. 

Like other kids, she loves to play with her iTouch, our iPhone and iPad. She knows how to read so we just let her explore those children apps after we downloaded for her. I feel thankful that there are so many free education apps available. ^^

p/s: One little cute thing she likes to do when she sees her parents are hugging. She will immediately run towards us and hug both of us too and said, "Hugging. Daddy, mummy and Claryssa are hugging. I love you!" ^^
