Counting

Rachel knows how to count from 1 to 5 on her own, and with some prompting, she can continue from 6 to 10.

Rachel: unn, two, tee, aour, ive, .......six, ven, egg, ine, ten!!!!

Rachel knows how to count from 1 to 5 in Mandarin as well (courtesy of MIL)...

Rachel: yit, errr, san, ser, ooo

However, we doubt she knows what all this signifies....he, he...she's just repeating what we teach her!!!


Putting on her own shoes

Rachel knows how to differentiate left and right when it comes to her shoes. With all her slip-on shoes, she can wear them on her own...and for those with buckles, she will just slip them on, and walk around without buckling them.....one less back-bending job for mummy:)

Multi-tasking

While writing this blog, my dear Rachel is pushing around the toy-buggy that MIL bought for her (with her Teddy on it), and "chatting" with my mobile at the same time. *me shaking my head*

Dancing

She is still into Fun Song Factory...very much so...and she has started imitating their dancing moves. And what's amusing to me is, she knows what song comes next!!!!!

Broom and Dustpan

Rachel: Mama....BOOM!!!!! (asking for the broom)

She asks for the broom and dustpan ALL the time....and she can hold on to the broom (middle of the stick) pretty well, and casually fling it around, imitating us sweeping the floor...and holding the dustpan at the same time as well!!!!!!

Other parts of the body

She knows all this: Eye Brow....Neck...Armpit...and bumbum
