Working

I have always wanted to buy Brain Quest Workbook for Sophie, but I only bought it a few days ago from a seller at Singapore Motherhood Bulk Purchase. Prior to this, I thought it was too expensive for Sophie to abuse. She was not ready for serious work and I would get upset if the book is vandalised. Now, she is more stable and she can do the activities if I read her the instructions. Yet, the activities seem a little too simple for her now. In any case, it is always good for her to revise, I guess.

Just when I thought it was too simple for her, she mistook "d" for "b" and coloured part of the box. After I corrected her, she was quite embarrassed and kept explaining to me why it should not be "d". I also noticed she was colouring in a peculiar manner. Apparently, Papa has taught her to do so to help her keep the strokes within the box.

Next was the Kumon activity books. I bought these a long long time ago for her to practise cutting, folding and pasting. However, she was never able to follow my instructions properly so I hesitated in giving them to her. Today, she finally showed that she could do it pretty well. I am so relieved! Even though they are meant for 2-year-olds onwards.

I am so glad that she can complete the craft on her own nowadays. Sophie is finally able to do simple cutting, pasting and colouring. This is a great step forward because it shows she can do simple crafts independently from this point on. I do not need to hover and assist as much as before! Horray!
