34-month Baby

While putting her to sleep last night, (we were sleeping forehead to forehead) J actually stroked my face and my hair as per how I normally do to her while tucking her in. And then she proceeded to kiss my cheeks and my forehead. Awwwww... Melt OK. Sangat comel. Haihh..

She's more in tune now to reading and writing. OKla, still attention span of a fish, but at least I can sit down with her and read a full book (if it is her favourite animals book) or at least a page from her Iqra' or some other book if it does not catch her fancy. She is a righty for sure. And her scribbling skills are improving. The walls are still not safe from her. But, we've learn to close both eyes on it. Haha! Last night too, for the first time she figured out what a Doodle does. And was busy doodling the whole night. Each time it was a different picture - fish, bird, eagle (yes, different from bird), clouds ntah hape lagi la. Of course none of her scribbles look like a fish, bird, eagle etc., but to me at least she is showing signs of wanting to learn. So, good for her.

She's also much happy in her playgroup. And looks forward to it now. Waaayyy better than a year ago when she refuse to come into Teacher Fatin's house. And she has no qualms whatsoever about letting her feelings be known, much to her Kakak's dismay whenever Kakak joins the class.

She still cannot sit still for long periods. Always jumping around, climbing here and there.

And she almost always never forget to recite her doa makan before eating. Loud and clear. No matter where she is. And ever since Kakak recites the lengthy version (including the Malay translation) she has been trying to get that one right too. And she also knows her doa sebelum tidur better than Aliah.

Amazingly, she very seldom throw tantrums. Meltdowns are scarce, for which I am thankful.

She still talks funny though if she tries to speak in Malay. Tsk.
