It is disheartening to see my little princess down with stomach-flu and high fever since Tuesday early morning. She is still having her diarrhea more than 10x a day and yet there isn’t any thing we can do to help, other than wait for it to clear all by itself. .
Surprisingly, though my little Zo Ee is down with high fever (up to 39.2 degrees Celsius), she is still happily playing most of the time, occasionally cranky looking for more affection and comfort. Some time, she just want mummy by her side, and Zo Ee will be hugging me and smiling to me all the time. But each time, she passes motion; she will be crying and screaming when I have to change her due to the soreness and raw open skin cause by the acidic stools. It’s so hard on us seeing our little princess crying and screaming in pain as she has always been our little angel, nice and happy everyday. So, to all parents out there, please be extra careful on yours and baby's daily hygiene. This will save you, especially baby a lot of suffering. Maybe we cannot avoid this 100% but at least we can minimize their chances of being infected by virus/bacteria, especially the unnecessary suffering and pain.
Although sick, Zo Ee is still progressing well in her learning, all initiated by herself as mummy is so busy caring for her and feeling tired due to little sleep past nights (sponging her fever every few hours and changing her soil diapers), but little Zo Ee insisted mummy to continue to read to her. She still loves her books a lot and surprisingly she even started laughing out loud while reading all by herself on a few particular pages. One particular page is about a little baby making a mess while feeding herself and Zo Ee will point out at the word “Messy” and say “Mea” before laughing out loud all by herself. She loves to browse at this page many times a day, before laughing out loud repeatedly. We are not sure what is so funny about that word “Messy” or the picture illustration but it does make little Zo Ee laugh happily.
Language progress:
Past few days, I overheard many of Zo Ee’s new words while she was browsing her word cards/books all by herself. I haven’t really count yet but some of them are; and, aunt, ray , come, cheese, meat, far, stand, gate, egg, sit, ark (shark), chair, mell(smell), cot, spec (spectacle), ant, eight, mile(smile), zip, cold, hot, Spain, whale , thank(thank you) while some chinese words like ge-ge, jie-jie, yeh-yeh, mei-mei and some 2 syllables words are happy, starfish, camel, circle, terter(turtle), Orca(a type of whale), lemon and dolphin. " That is a lot for a week progress!!! " I believe there are more than these that she is able to read and say.

And just now, when she saw me wearing a new shirt after my bath, she excitedly came over to me, at first, I thought she wanted a hug from me, but I was wrong. She pointed at the word GEX on my shirt and say "GEX" , oh! she was correct, there was this "GEX Jeans" written on my shirt which I have not wear for months . This is just another example of Zo Ee's natural phonics skill in reading a new word.
Sometimes, she will tell mummy what she wants but most of the time, she still preferring in making discomfort sound to indicate her wants or to get our attention but when mummy asked her “Zo Ee, what is wrong?” or “Zo Ee, what do you want?” and little Zo Ee will reply mummy, “Milk” , “cheese” or “book” or “pen” or ”cot” or “bed” etc.
