I saw how Sophie was watching some older children play with yo-yos. I bet she would love to swing one like them so today, “y” was for “yo-yo”.
When Sophie start painting the same spot over and over again, I wondered if she would lose interest again. But I told myself to stay calm and humorous, and just go with the flow... It took quite a while to finally paint the whole cardboard purple.
Then she put the marker cap into the paint and started stamping away, so I quickly added some white for her to do it on the "y".
As much as I would like to entice her with the idea that she was painting a yo-yo, it was impossible make a 2-D circle look like a 3-D yo-yo. We did our best to just complete it so that I could add the string and make it look more like one.
And how could I know if Sophie understood what it was? Well, the way she play with it, of course!
Eventually I asked Ah Gong to buy her one if he could find it anywhere... not that she could really play with it properly.
