"Sexy girl" Little Bee with her array of Barbie dolls. Big Bee and me always wonder where she got her Barbie Doll preference from, as we both detest playing with dolls!
Little Bee is full of witty repartees these days. Teased by her sister that her short hairdo makes her resembles a boy, she will retort with a significant amount of indignance, "(Little Bee) not boy! (Little Bee) sexy girl!"
And she will sometimes comb her hair in front of the mirror, then turning around to tell me delightedly and in absolute innocence, "(Little Bee) sexy girl!"
I get the feeling that she naively thinks that "sexy girl" means "beautiful girl". And trust me, I had never used the word "sexy" on her before!
Whenever she watches Hi5, she will insist on changing into a flouncy skirt and bounce along to the happening music, showing off her prolific dance moves!
About a month back, Big Bee did a fantastic job of coaching her little sister to write her name. She drew tracing lines for Little Bee to write down her name, even with cute little icons around the name to encourage her to work on this project.
Thereafter, she was able to just follow my writing without needing any tracing lines, therefore writing out her name independently. I am thankful to Big Bee for always being able to motivate Little Bee positively, whereas I seem to have some problems sometimes!
She followed me by writing letter by letter and wrote out her name, although she can only write her name in a GIGANTIC format now.
Self portrait. I guess the "A" on her mouth indicates her name...
Because of their enthusiasm, I had decided on this month's homelearning theme - "All About Me", much to Big Bee's approval. Now that her exams are over, I will need to plan for 2 separate sets of homelearning activities to cater to each child. Lots of fun planning ahead!
