Qr played flash cards with pp this morning - first word cards on colour x 2, and pp didn't have enough, and second your baby can read sliding cards (starter and book 1) once, and third regular polygon cards x 2, and finally dotted card from 1 - 10 plus a summation (first time ever) 1 + 2 = 3, and pp happily giggled. it's so good to see pp enjoys learning as if it's playing. To kids, it's best if they learn without knowing that they are learning, and the best way is through playing..

pp likes putting coins into the 'bear' bank. today Qr gave him a one-dollar coin, a two-dollar coin, and a five-dollar coin. When he first saw Qr taking out the 'bear' bank, he's already very happy. When he received the five-dollar coin, he used his right hand to put it into the bank immediately. when Qr handed him the two-dollar coin, he took it with his right hand, then he changed hands to use his left hand to put the coin into the bank successfully. after putting the last coin in the bank, he looked at Qr and 'urh - urh - urh' and raised his left hand to make a gesture -- like asking Qr to provide more coins. Qr had no more coins for today, and he started to pick up the 'bear' bank and look for openings to get the coins out. pp knows a lot of things now.

tonight, Qr, pppp and pp went to the supermarket to buy breakfast for Qr. when Qr was choosing her cereal, pppp and pp were playing walking around and pp was having great fun. When Qr picked her breakfast, pppp and Qr held hands with pp (in fact, Qr and pppp both gave him a finger to hold on for his balance) and walked side by side with him, the longest way pp has ever walked...
