Conversation - 3years 8months old

Zo Ee at 3years 8months old (31st December 2011)

Capturing Zo Ee's amusing conversation for the past 1 week.

If I remembered correctly, Zo Ee first mentioned or talked about dead about a year ago but I'm finding that she understood this topic much in-depth now than then. Recently,

Zo Ee: Mum...I don't want you to get old or get very sick. Neither I want Daddy to get old. I don't want you or Daddy to die. I don't want to be left alone in this world.

Zo Ee: I don't want to grow big. I want to be a kid forever so that I can stay with you and Daddy forever! I don't want to be an adult. I just want to be me like now. I just want to be a kid forever. I want to remain short and small.


Zo Ee: Mum...How was it when the doctor operated on you?
Me: What do you mean? When?
Zo Ee: When I was ready to be born and the doctor wanted to remove me from your tummy. When the doctor operated on you, was it very painful? (looking very concern and serious) How did you feel?

I didn't have any Ceasarean but was not in the mood to talk about birth to a 3years 8months old. I know she read from my pregnancy book and knew about normal delivery and ceasarean. But it's just doesn't feel right to talk about it at this moment.

Due to our coming relocation, we told and explained to her what will happen to us and our friends and that it will be very unlikely that we will meet them again.

Zo Ee: Mum...R and I will get marry. (R has been her best friend and practically they meet each other in school since last year and R is Zo Ee's best friend. Both R and Zo Ee told us that they are best friends. )

Me: Children don't marry. First, You will have to wait till you finish school. Get a job and then decide whether you really want to marry R.
Zo Ee: I know most children don't marry but some do!
Me: Children are not supposed to get marry and it's against the law.
Zo Ee: I know most children don't marry but some do! And I want to marry R. R will go to work while I will stay at home.
Me: Even so, you will have to ask R whether he wants to marry you and both of you will have to wait until you are old enough to decide. It's not possible now.
Zo Ee: R likes me and we like each other very much. R will marry me, I'm very sure of that. ***Faint!****

Writings & Drawings -3years 7months old

Zo Ee at 3years 7months old. (7th December 2011)

Zo Ee loves to write lately and she wrote & drew these today.

I'm most surprised by her drawing on the bottom left. She claimed that she's drawing Harry Potter. Harry Potter in a skirt...huh???? I've never told her about Harry Potter and neither we have any books yet. This is not the first time, she talked about Harry Potter, she did roughly mention it 2 months back. When I asked her about Harry Potter, she said that we don't have any Harry Potter books yet and nothing more. Just wondering where did she get that idea. Book shop?

Poem for Mummy - 3years 7months old

Zo Ee at 3years 7months old. (6th December 2011)

Another poem from Zo Ee. This time, a poem for Mummy. So I must be proud right? ; ) but I don't really understand it; partially maybe but I can't expect much from a 3years 7months old, right?

When I asked her to read it to me, it sounded like this.

Shoo! the bee stinged Mummy.

And my Mummy sheeshabch

What a gap fomed(formed) owch!

First Poem - 3years 7months old.

Zo Ee at 3years 7months old. (2nd December 2011)

Zo Ee showed me this and claimed that this is her funny poem. I'm not sure whether it's totally all her idea or maybe copied/remembering from the Diary of the Wimpy Kid book, since I'm guessing the word Dork is from there although she was not referring to any book when writing this.

Poem 1:
SheLLs Doing all Wet as A
is what a Dork?
Its parts are very bTusss........ (a funny sound)
A Dork is it
A wheel is it
A rock!

Poem 2:

6th Swim lesson - 3years 7months old

Zo Ee at 3years 7months old. (2nd December 2011)

Today was Zo Ee's 6th swim lesson. I thought she did great especially from someone who is afraid to put her head in the water prior to her 1st lesson. She swam a short distance (14s video clip below). Oh....I'm so proud of her.
