After Daycare Meltdown

Another article mommy is reading "After Daycare Meltdown", good tips about the cold shoulder reaction - or the screaming tantrum reaction ... it's common after a separation. It's good Bernice doesn't has it yet...just after the 1st day of school, she screamed in the car without any reason and just yelled out loud. The article says it might be stress in her day that she can't express or maybe just tired, or it's their way for releasing tension (as they don't know yoga yet!)

Solutions to this is:
• Try to arrange pickup at the same time each day, so they can get used to the idea that you'll be arriving soon and your caregiver can make sure not to have just started a fascinating new activity as you arrive.
• Have a snack handy for both of you for the trip home. Low blood sugar can make everyone grumpy before dinner gets to the table.

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. "
