Zo Ee at 2years 8months old. (30/12/2010)

Mummy saw these on the carpet and surprisingly Zo Ee had arranged this all by herself in perfect order. Mummy has never emphasized for her to arrange them in this manner although she has played a few puzzles few months back with Mummy which required such skill, eg. the animal alphabet train. Did she learn this in her play-school 2-months back before the holidays? Mummy tested her and she was able to put them together in a breeze.

Christmas 2010 - 2years 8months old

Zo Ee at 2years 8months old. (25/12/2010)

Our first Christmas in Goa, we had a Christmas Buffet at Vivanta Hotel, Goa.

Zo Ee had her first Roast Christmas Turkey. Daddy took her to the chef attending to the roast turkey where she asked for a piece for herself. She was extremely excited when given some and proudly brought it back to show it to Mummy. Zo Ee was already chewing on some even before reaching our table while yelling to Mummy, " Mummy, Mummy, this is the roast turkey. Zo Ee is eating turkey. Yummy! Yummy!" Of all the food, Zo Ee loves the Christmas desserts the most, they looked appealing and tasted so good.

A gift from Gong-gong - 2years 8months old

A gift from Gong-gong. (Mummy's father.) Zo Ee chose this bicycle for herself.

Zo Ee is very obsessive with her first bicycle. She is able to climb onto the saddle and get down from it independently. Although she can pedal a tricycle, but she is not able to cycle this bicycle on her own yet; need more strength to pedal a bicycle than a tricycle. Nevertheless, she enjoys sitting on it, pushing it around or asked us to push her while she sits on it.

Writing Skill - 2years 8months old

Zo Ee at 2 years 8months old. (23/12/2010)

We have been very busy adapting to life in Goa, India. Many things purely cannot be described with words. Things that can be done in 5 minutes, may take me half an hour if I am lucky. A day work may take weeks or months.... so its pretty frustrating at times. Different expectation and different time frame..."Way to live life here is to be patient! patient! patient! and to let go... else I'll go crazy!"

I have busy and lazy, thus have been using facebook to record Zo Ee's development, not wanting to forget them. Recently during our home leaves, a friend asked me why didn't I update this blog for months as I used to write here daily and that question really bring me back here. Well...hopefully I am back for good.

Let's start with Zo Ee self-taught writing skill.

1/12/2010 (2years 7months 21days old)
Zo Ee wrote her name "ZOEE" (There is space limitation at the end of the paper, so she wrote one E below the other.)

9/11/2010 (2 years 6months 29days old)
Zo Ee filled in the crossword "c a t" herself.

8/11/2010 (2 years 6months 28days old)
Zo Ee came running to Mummy, proudly showing Mummy the first word written by her (self-taught)...." voilin" (violin). Zo Ee, "Mummy!Mummy! see that's the word violin!"
