Just an update of what our 4 yr old has been up to lately.
1. Piano (she could recognise some of the notes and practises rather regularly. It's easier to get her to the piano than do her split for Ballet)
2. Ballet (Nice split and posture though she complains all the time about PAIN!!!)
3. Maths: Could count backwards, do addition, subtraction.
4. English: At Peter and Jane 9B. Proud of her.
5. Chinese: A little slow in this department but we're getting there!
6. Art: We started art classes at Global Art and she loves it! At least we could see improvement in her colouring and perhaps drawing!
7. Social: Her best friend is still Claire Tan from Greentree Montessori. They stick together like glue though I would say Claire is usually the big sister and dou just sticks along... haha you know what I mean. She also plays with Christine, Yi yuan, Guan Hong, Alex, Si Kai, and so on. Seems quite sociable.
8. Teacher told us dou is no pushover in school. She would reprimand others for having bad behavior and this would get quite worked up. (Hmmm... I wonder if this is a bad behavior in itself.) You see, N likes to call her "bad princess" and coaxes Claire not to play with her but our little one stands up for herself by telling her NOT to do so.
9. It is now apparent to me dou has a happy go lucky character like teewui but she can be VERY stubborn. Getting her to apologise is not easy... She is also very sporty but hates the mud and dirt when it gets to her feet, just like mummy. (I mean the part about getting dirty)
10. She is into princesses now. She is salivating for a Barbie doll but I am absolutely against it. In fact, she doesn't read any princess books at all so I have no idea why and how she knows ALL their names. She could tell me why I don't buy Barbie dolls for her: Mummy, she has big bra (read: boobs) long legs, and long hands. Nobody is like that, right? So mummy doesn't allow me to buy Barbie dolls. But I dream(t) about buying one yesterday night.
