Catch The Ball

My little Sophie understands "catch" and occasionally she would utter "catch" when we were playing with her ball today. We did not do much over the weekends because on Saturday, I had to attend a wedding dinner and on Sunday, we went to Ikea to get Sophie some furniture. On top of that, Sophie is cutting 4 new teeth, so she has been super difficult to coax and mealtimes were challenging. So, I tried not to agitate her if possible.

My parents got me some bean curd in a paper bowl today so I used it to make a turtle with Sophie. She was quite excited when I was cutting the limbs, but I think she was only interested in the pair of scissors in my hand. In the end, I had to finish up the "turtle" for her... At least she now can identify "turtle" and utter something that sounds like it too.

Fortunately, she was still fascinated with the roller so she was happily experimenting with it. Of course, she had to roll it (with paint) on my table instead of the "turtle". Sophie then surprised me by uttering "roll" as she played with the roller... Ok, I would let her to whatever she wanted, I thought to myself.

And true enough, I did. I let her treat our dining table as her canvas and paint with a brush. She seemed to love it. I think she needs a bigger space to do art.

End Product - Turtle

Papa thought it was a hat... duh!?
