35-month old reading progress

Time flies. My princess is turning 3 in a few weeks time. Sometimes I couldn't believe the running and jumping angel is my baby.

I have to say that this is the moment which I have been longing for since she was born.

When she was still an infant, I wish she can grow up fast, can hold the milk bottle by herself and burp without help.

When she can crawl, I wish she could walk and run steadily without me worrying so much.

When she starts babbling, I wish she could say out how she feels and what she wants without me guessing from her cry.

Thank God for this precious moment. The terrible 2, they said. T.T

Well, it's time to do some recording on her learning progress. I have lost count on the books she had read and also the new words she can read. She knows phonics so basically she can pronounce new words by herself before I open my mouth to teach.

For her motor skill, she can write A to Z, 1 to 20, all Chinese basic strokes by following the dotted lines. Certain letters can be written out by herself without dotted lines too.

Reading comprehension:
There are story books which come with questions and varies activities for the kid. My daughter learn to answer them after reading the stories together with me. It's a good practice and allow me to know her understanding of the stories.

Other skill:
She can color better and have great interest in solving the activities puzzle and books. She loves the matching, cross out and circling the correct answers workbooks.

Helper in the house:
-My princess loves to see me making milk. She will describe each step while watching. For e.g, first, pour in room temperature water, then some hot water. Next add in the milk powder. Cover it and shake shake shake. Very funny!
- She insist to help in getting her own diaper, wet tissue and clothing before changing.
- After drinking milk, she will make sure she can find the cover and pass it to me. Then she will place the milk bottle in the washroom.
- She learns how to clean up the mess and keep her toys. Well, sometimes she prefers not to do it and stop us from tidying up her toys as she loves to see the bed is full of her toys. (sweat*)
