kids nowadays can be very smart and fast in learning new things. yesterday, as i was baby-sitting my niece, i was assured once again that my little niece, Lynnette (Lynn) is a very smart girl who has very good memory and is a fast learner.
my cousin brought Lynn came over to my house in the morning and went home to get busy with the fixing of the fan at home. as Lynn was playing with the toys, suddenly something caught her eyes. yep! is the hula-hoop which i used to play with when i was in my pri sch. whahaha.. Lynn seems to be fascinated by this new toy. as there were 2 hula-hoops, so she requested me to play with her. so as i was demonstrating on how to play the hula-hoop, Lynn tried very hard to follow whatever i was doing. of cos, being a 2 yr old kid, is kinda hard for her to control the turning of the hula-hoop for the 1st time. but i think she had a good time turning here and there. as the hula-hoop is made up of many colours so i took the opportunity to help her to practise on her sense of colours. she could identify the colour "orange", "yellow", "purple" and "green" at once. but when it comes to the colour "blue", she hesitated and waited for me to give her the answer. haha... after putting the hula-hoops away, it was time for her lunch. so i grabbed a chair for her to sit down, so tat she could concentrate on finishing up her porridge. halfway thru the meal, she suddenly pointed to the chair and told me "blue". i was really surprised by her action and was really amazed by her learning ability. there is actually a difference between the 2 shades of blue. the blue on the hula-hoop is of a lighter shade while the colour of the chair belongs to a darker shade of blue. i am really glad tat she could still recognised despite the difference. then when she was drinking water from the cup, once again, she could point out that it was a blue cup. haha...
after hanging around at my house for few hours, it was time for Lynn to go home for bath and her afternoon nap. so as i packed up her stuff to get ready to send her home, i told her it was time to go home. instantly, she walked towards her slippers and started to put them on so as to get ready to go home. she even wanna hold on to her small bag of belongings as if she is going home on her own. haha.. her action of wanting to be a 小大人 was really funny and cute. she pressed the lift button for the lift and was all ready to lead me to her house. so i kept quiet and try to see if she could rem the way home. indeed, she could rem the way home and was confident abt it. all the way home, she was holding on to her own bag and taking the lead in front of me. haha... as we reached the void deck of her house, she suddenly told me "82B". YES! tat is the block number of her house. & she started to mumble some words which sounded like "toa payoh lorong 4". isn't Lynn amazing? she has such good memory and fast in picking up new things. of cos as she grow older, i hope she will get even better and learn as much as she could.
