"Wah-cha-you..."

Hmm... both daddy and mummy have no idea what this phrase means...

"wah-cha-you..."

It's Sarah's almost-too-commonly-used phrase that we both cant figure what it means. She will say, "Don't want wah-cha-you..." or sometimes in mandarin, "Wor pu yao wah-cha-you..."

Hmm... when we later find out what it means, I will update you guys, OK?! :p

[+video] Pencil color turned into... ?

I bought this "pencil color" for RM1/pc from a stationery shop nearby. I got 3 pieces for the 3 angels at home. It's cute & cheap! Hehehe...


Well, when I saw this pencil color, I thought of course that this pencil color is a tool for coloring... a cute tool for coloring, but what do our kids actually think of it? *think think think*

This was what Sarah did to the pencil color at the beginning...



She decided that the pencil color looks better when they're all dismantled... thus she calls it "ball-ball"...



Since Sarah has decided what it should be, mummy respected her decision and made sure that all pencil leads were taken out. She likes the sound that the "ball-ball" make when they are being shaken in an empty container... and bottle too... as shown in the next video!



Actually, this "ball-ball" were imagined as "vegetables" when she plays "masak-masak". She likes to role-play as a chef and cook these balls in her cooking pan. Oh, but too bad that I haven't gotten the chance to record her cooking these balls.

So yes, that's the imagination of our little ones... Thinking out of the box, ya?! :)

[+video] Sarah writing... (at Month 18)

We noticed Sarah has been able to hold a pencil quite correctly the past few weeks. I'm so proud of her. Daddy & I showed her how to hold it and the next thing we knew, she started holding the pencil the corrrect way. Way to go, Sarah!

We started letting her get exposed to drawing when she was about 12-13 months. Read previous post here. We let her use a pencil at first, but later on got her to use some crayons. Practice makes perfect! Eventually, we gave her a pencil again and found her fine motor skills have improved tremendously.

Here's the video showing Sarah learning to write (draw). She seemed pretty enthusiastic about what she was writing/drawing...

Sarah, the little song leader...

"Yi Chieh Ge Song Zhan Mei...." - her lullaby song since baby! :)

"Jesus Loves Me This I Know..."

"Give Me Oil In My Lamp..."

"We Want To See Jesus Lifted High..."

"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star..."

"If You're Happy & You Know It..."

These are some of the songs that we sing to her since she was a little baby. Today, she is able to sing some of these songs on her own (her very own version!) too, like "Jesus Loves Me This I Know" & "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

Let me share with you 2 other cute incidences:
1. Happy Birthday song... Sarah would sing this song every time she sees a candle! She would only sing the 3rd line of course, which is "Happy Birthday to Sa-raaaaahhhhhh!" :)

2. Ask her "What song you want to sing?" She would say, "Na na na na na..." Hehehe... Yes, that's the bridge for the song "Waves of Mercy"! She just loves that part... :)

More updates on Sarah's development.. (at 18+ months)

Sarah's growing very well I would say and praise the Lord for that! However, we do pray that she will tone down being quick-tempered (by nature I believe). Recently, she started yelling as well, if she doesnt get what she wants. Really pray that she will come out of it soon.

Also, she's definitely an attention grabber. As I am typing this in my room, she is giving me all kinds of things so that I would participate with her in some "tasks", often which she is able to do on her own as she explores. This time, because she knows I am on the laptop, she tries getting my attention by all means. Shrewd, eh?!

Her vocabulary has totally increased by the days. She even makes sentences now which are meaningful. One particular (almost) complete sentence that I heard her spoke about a week ago was: "I want put here"


Her "I wants"... and "dont wants" are used with meaning too, for eg:
"I want/don't want water"
"I want/don't want go upstairs"
"I want more"... or "some more"

Just some updates...

Well... it's been more than 2 weeks since my last post. Yeah, what's new? Been busy of course. I'll try to make this post short & sweet! :)
OK... just some updates...
I just started my professional diploma course in Early Childhood Education in University Malaya 2 Saturdays ago. Back to school for 13 months! It was only after my first lesson for the semester and I already had to "ponteng" school last Saturday for my kindi's annual concert and graduation. So, yes... it was yet another busy Saturday last week. I was the "middle-man" between back stage & waiting room... so I was actually busy running about as well. Came back with sore feet but nevertheless, I enjoyed the experience being directly involve in the children's concert & graduation. There were about 300 students as we had 3 centres combined for this special day.

Some photos to spice up my post a lil... hehe...

The children... while waiting for their turn to perform.

Some of our teachers... "Hi-5!, teacher Azeela!" LOL!
Sekolah Seri Suria invited us for a "makan-makan" before the concert. It's the school's "open-house" for the raya celebration.

Our concert & graduation was held at Sekolah Seri Suria, Hulu Langat.
Thise above pix is the concert hall. It's called "Hall of Character".
Well, unfortunately, I didnt manage to take much pix as I was pretty busy that day... which also means no pix of the performances as well as I was mainly at backstage & the waiting area. Well, maybe next time then... :)
