Meghan's 3rd birthday. Time does fly..
She has been growing into a (very) talkative, agile, and creative little girl. Umm..plus a bit naughtier.. :)
Talking about my daughter, she loves to do many things. But her favorite activities are talking and singing. :)
She starts singing at 2 years old. Not only singing, but also humming and modifying a song ^^. At 2 years 8 months, she could almost completely sing "Ita Mira" and "Burung Kutilang". Now, in her early third year, she can sing "hokey pokey" (plus dances), twinkle twinkle little star, and "alphabet song", surely with her own style of English pronounciation. And, if I teach her another song, like "suwe ora jamu" or "yaa thoyibah", she could easily repeat after me, with correct tones.
What about reading and counting ? Well, I don't want to force her to be able to read before 4 yrs old etc. I just try to introduce her with alphabets and syllables. So far, she can read series of syllables, such as "mi ta su ka sa ma na si" or "pa pa mau be ka ta a pa pa da semua"..and more..and more.. though she'll read it slowly. As for mathematics skill, she can count until 100 and recognize the numbers. Alhamdulillah. At least, when she goes back to Indonesia and ready to enter kindergarten, she already has a basic knowledge.
What about drawing? Not bad... her favorite drawing is a "little bus", because she considers this little bus as her best friend. See the pictures below. The first picture is about "Ayah (daddy) holds Meghan", and the second picture is "Meghan holds a little bus" :). Not bad, huh? lol.

However, a kid is still a kid who doesn't understand the risk of doing something and doesn't know when to stop. Delinquency should be normal but as humanbeings, the parents also have limitation of patience. Sometimes I feel too harsh to Meghan, especially when she made some troubles. Lately I understand that being too harsh doesn't bring any solution. It only teaches our kids the concept of stubbornness.
My little lady grows too fast. And as I believed, "amanah" is never easy to be accomplished. Extra patience, knowledges, and resources are needed to accompany our steps in nurturing our dearest one.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OUR LITTLE SUNSHINE...
Wishing you more and more happiness in your life..
