Playing keyboard for 30minutes - 3years 3months old

Zo Ee at 3years 3months old. (26th July 2011)

We arrived home on Monday night after two days of travelling between 3 connecting flights; Melbourne -KL, KL- Mumbai and Mumbai - Goa and another 1hour road journey. The next day morning, Zo Ee immediately sat at her keyboard for about half and hour playing all her songs collection; one after another. Mummy could see that she was so happy to be reunited with her keyboard again. This is actually her longest time span playing all by herself comparing to her usual playing about 5 minutes a day, some days a few different occasion, much depending on her own mood. She has wanted to read musical notes directly from song book like her cousin sister which is very good sign to Mummy meaning Mummy can move her one level up.

While in Australia, she did play at her cousin's piano once and she didn't have problem playing although they isn't any notes stickers on the keys. This is because she has been playing /experimenting at different part of her keyboard, playing her songs at the bass end or higher end where there isn't any stickers on them. Even her music teacher noticed that she actually understood and knows her keys well; she knows that there are 8notes in an octave and different octaves in her keyboard and thus different C, D, ...notes in each octaves.

Reading Sydney map - 3years 3months old

Zo Ee at 3years 3months old. (20th July 2011)

After a few days in Sydney city, little Zo Ee was able to read the city map well. She could recognize those important landmarks easily without me telling/explaining to her, where we were staying, places we went and the routes we took. This is her first time reading such a detailed map comparing to months ago, she was only reading map between towns where we were traveling in Goa.
