I feel very happy today... Yesterday Emilia's teacher remarked that Emilia is now developing and making a good progress. Yup, she can now listen to what the teacher tells her to do, follows instructions, and immitates and sing along with her teacher. And what makes me happier is that when the teacher was teaching numbers, and showed the number to the student, a few times Emilia was the first to answer... When the teacher showed number 10, she quickly shouted 'TEN!!!' .. and when the teacher showed number 8, she was the first one to answer too... Even the teacher was surprised.. I wasn't surprised at all, because I know my daughter could recognize the numbers and the alphabets too, but before this she wasn't too interested in participating in class.... Partly because she is the smallest, most of the kids are almost three... Phew, I was one happy mama... You really made my day, sayang...

Only when the teacher started to teach the alphabets, Amy wasn't too interested.. partly because I had only taught her the capital letters, but the teacher showed all the small letters, so Amy wasn't interested in them. That's ok.. We'll start learning the small letters now...

I remembered when we first started, I was almost crying, because Emilia couldn't sit still, while all the other children were so focused on what the teacher was teaching...I know it is unfair to compare our child with the other children, but all the children were so well-behaved, I thought maybe I had done something wrong.. But in Emilia's defense, she is faaar smaller than the other kids... But now she's developing and learning things quickly, alhamdulillah... I guess all kids develop in their own sweet time...

Anyway, that's all the update.. I'm a very happy mama today, I feel like going on a little bit retail therapy.. (I already did this morning, in fact).. hehe... and maybe Emilia will get a little gift of lego from mama? so that she would grow up creative and with a good imagination.. maybe can become an architect or a structural designer?
