Short comments

One night, after a good cry, Jerilyn confessed "Mummy, I don't want to cry. But, my eyes don't want to stop. My eyes tell me to cry."

A week or two back, I uploaded a video of Jesslyn reciting Multiplication of 2. And now, she can recite Multiplication of 3. Hubby was just reading in a sing song manner for 6-7 times and before we knew it, Jesslyn could recite herself.

Jerilyn was doing some colouring exercise. When it came to radish, I asked her to colour it white. Her immediate response was "This is white, alright. So, leave it!" with both her hands held high, in sarcasm. You see, the paper has a white background. Thus, the unnecessary extra work to colour the radish white.

Weainng

Exactly four days back, which was 12 July 2011, Jesslyn was forced to sleep without gripping our fingers. Daddy thinks that it is high time she learns to sleep independently. She whined and sobbed, moving between our bed and hers for maybe half an hour. She finally dozed off sandwiched between Daddy and Mummy. In the middle of the night, there was a loud thud and I knew our dear Jesslyn had landed on the floor. Daddy picked her and put her in her bed. From that night onwards, we did not allow her in our bed. In fact, she herself would climb back to her own bed after tossing on ours for a while.
It was a historical night for me because weaning off the fingers means freedom for me. Imagine having to let your fingers being twisted and squeezed every night til she falls asleep? Other times, she pulls your nails til it cause pain. Now, I am a free sleeper!
MERDEKA!!!

This is so easy

Don't know what has got into Jesslyn. She is so confident with her work. She returned this paper to me a few seconds after I gave her and asked me to print another exercise for her. I asked why. "I don't want this. This is so easy."
Nope. She didn't get it 100% right.
