Learning To Talk

Mommy is reading some tips from Today's Parent Magazine about Stage Developement.
It tailors information and tips to baby, kids and teens at every step of the way.

The interesting one that mommy read iis about "Learning To Talk", I think Bernice has a very good language skills because she is a 'natural born talker'. She talks in her sleep when she was just few months old....and now how fast she picks up words and songs really amazed mommy and papa. Of course there are plenty of cute mistakes but it's so amusing listen to her talk. Bernice just subsititute her sentence with her own subject, object and verb...

for example: 囡囡曳曳, 爸爸打pat pat, she would reapply it to 爸爸曳曳, 媽媽打pat pat!
and other, when she learnt new word, she will just making the family chain..like 囡囡都咁,爸爸都咁,媽媽都咁,爺爺都咁,嫲嫲都咁,叔叔都咁,嬸嬸都咁,姨姨都咁,公公都咁,dordor都咁.........whoever she thinks of just adding onto the list until mommy agrees and stops her. All mommy has to says is "hilarious"!!

Bernice also had a period of stuttering just few months ago, but it didn't last long, maybe 2 weeks. It says explains "... related to the speed with which they are acquiring language, and how urgently they want to communicate. "

1st week of school

Woohoo..today is Friday, mommy picks up Bernice at school and secretly takes some shoots of Bernice without her notice. She is reading at the corner and doesn’t join the circle with other kids….she looks at them sometimes but mainly just concentrating on her own doing. Bernice is so alert that she sees mommy at a door in few minutes!!!! Mommy brings along the daily log from teacher and let papa reads them. The progress is good and she is taking instruction and just sometimes do not join the circle time as a new comer. The daily log also tell the amount of food Bernice has haa..it’s funny she takes a 2nd round most of the time!! =) We also have the 1st art work Bernice did at school!
After school, we spent some fun time with dordor! hoorayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

3rd day of school

Today's Bernice's 3rd day of school . Cried and asked mommy to go home in the midway to school. Cried when mommy dropped off Bernice in class. As per teacher, Bernice only cried for 5 minutes and have been great for the day!!! Eat well and sleep well and play along with others. Able to follow instruction and guess what? Bernice did not want to leave when mommy picked her up at the end of the day!!! It makes mommy so confused or Bernice is the confused one?! =) Bernice says more "No this, no that".......errrr and has a stronger stand with her own instructions and expectations!!! I guess this is part of what mommy describes as "grow-up development"
Afterall mommy feels happy that Bernice enjoys school very much.

1st day of school

Bernice was excited when we talked about how fun school is, eating, playing, reading with other kids, and hopefully she has a smooth transition to school. That was our PLAN!
So, finally…today is the BIG day. Bernice observed the environment and other kids as we entered the classroom. Miss Melissa offered her cookies and milk as morning snack. She sat down and ate together with other kids. Bernice held mommy’s hand and walked around the classroom with a happy smile. So mommy stayed with Bernice for 30 minutes and guess what?! Bernice cried when mommy left. And all other new kids (total of 3) started to cry.

Mommy was a little bit worry and decided to pick up Bernice a little bit early. Daddy has joined as well…and we peeked at the door and Bernice was doing great and playing with toys and other kids. Mommy felt relief and couldn’t wait to hug my baby….and Bernice was so happy to see us!!! Bernice gave mommy a big hug and cuddled mommy so tight!! 1st time having this ‘cozy’ feeling from Bernice!!!
Mommy asked what she had for lunch, Bernice said “yummy noodles” … (Macaroni and cheese) and had 2 bowls of it.
Bernice’s 1st day of school has an overall rating of “GOOD” as per the teachers, because teachers said Bernice did a great job as being first time in a daycare. Bernice did not want to leave at the end of the day!!! Let see what will happen tomorrow!!! =)

Shopping

We eats some yummy lunch and go shopping at Vaughan Mills before school starts tomorrow and checking if there any good deals. While mommy is shopping for the winter gear for Bernice, Bernice enjoys herself and tries on shoes and measures if they shoes fit her!!! =) It's so funny to watch Bernice run back and forth to get the right sizes and tells mommy that "囡囡wants this pair of shoes!!" "Wow, it fits 囡囡 wor!" "Wow, 好靚wor!"

Annabella's Visit

Bell Bell jiejie managed to spend few days with Bernice during Christmas holiday. We went shopping and dinner and spent some quality time @ home. Every time when Bell Bell jiejie gone back home, Bernice would cry so hard because of missing her!!! We hope Bell Bell jiejie can come over often and spend more time with Bernice and mommy!!
