Hehe, Kion's mummy moment of glory is here again!!!
Yes, my daughter's progress has slowly turned me into a Kiasu cum Kiasee mother.
Kiasu cos I keep wanting Kion to go to better schools, keep google-ing on comments of this school & that school, trying 2 look for a best in everything school, but frankly speaking, where 2 find???
Kiasee cos I'm beginning 2 get worried @ almost everything, like how does Kion feels in her new school? will her fear for her new school make her lost interest in gg 2 school? What will happen 2 her mentally & emotionally if she cant pass the brain olympics test by the end of term 1???
Haiz, I seriously knows the reason for the increase of my white hair now =(
Anyway, was damn proud of Kion yesterday when she managed 2 spell 1 to 5 for me cos I had been spelling 'o-n-e 1, t-w-o 2......' to 10 to her for the last few weeks but so far she had only been able 2 spell 1 & 2.
It happened yesterday afternoon when she accidentally hit me with her elbow while I dressed her after bathing. I pretended 2 b angry & whenever she thinks I'm angry, she will recite the 12months in english & mandarin 2 me 2 try 2 make me happy. So yesterday, after she recited the 12months, she, as usual, asked: Mummy, r u happy already? I said 'no!' & told her to spell her numbers to make me happy =p hahahaaaa....
she spell: o-n-e 1, t-w-o-2, then when she spelled 3, I was shocked that she got it correct. upon further testing, I realized that she had been able 2 spell no.1 to 5. =)
I am of cos, so happy & proud of her cos it meant that my efforts r not wasted. Yet sometimes when I sit down & think back, what's the big deal of knowing her spellings? instead, isn't it kind of a bad mummy I am cos I might have unintentionally made her learn things of which is not supposed 2 b learn @her age.
Think abt it, spelling r only given in K1 or K2.... Even if a child cant spell a certain word @2yrs old, she can definitely spell it @6 or 7 yrs old. So y the rush??? I am trying very hard 2 balance myself, 2 not ask so much from my child, as like what I had read from dunno where, we should b grateful that we had been given a chance 2 b parents, & our duties r to groom them into useful & responsible people 4 our society, not 2 control them & want them 2 live life like what we expect them to be.... It is of cos, easier said than done =p
Anyway, I still havent update my Tokyo trip, although partially had been saved in my draft.... I need more time, TIME, TIME, TIME!!!
