Hi Friends,
i would like to share this experience with u all..i feel so happy today & i think i shud write it down here, so at least when Qarissa is big enuff & can read, i will surely show her this thread. hehehe..
This evening, i showed her a set of flash card - Occupations & Transportations. The card have 2 sided - word & picture + word. I tried to show her the word only (like GD style) & slip it as fast as i can but my dotter seems to be bored & keep looking at other places.
I kept doing it & read it to her coz the parenting book i've read siad that baby can still hear & understand the word eventho they r not looking at the card @ dont pay attention @ what we said.
Then the 2nd round, i showed her the picture + word side. She love it so much & keep looking at all the pictures. This time also i do as fast i can .. once finished, i play with her by showing 2 cards, tell her the name of one of the occupation & asked her to choose the correct card.
Suprisingly, 100% is correct!! All the card i asked her to choose based on what I'm saying is correct!! What make me more convince that she actually understand what I'm saying is that, when i told her to choose, & keep saying the word, eg: teacher, she will look at both card, before picking up the right one ...wahhhhh....! i felt so happy like i hit a jackpot!! hahahaha... & every time she did it correctly, i will praise her, & she will laugh at me & keep on kicking her leg as if she is so happy to see me happy ..(that time when we play the flash card, i put her inside the baby swing so when she kick her leg, it look so cute ..heheheh) but quite sad coz i dont have my camera with me to capture @ record the special moment.. its actually our daily playtime & its been quite some time since our last flash card games.. hehehe..
this make me believe more - that all babies r really genius, we have to "play" & keep the genius wired inside their brain ..ehhehe..mmm...as for Little Reader, it help me a lot, since Qarissa watching it, she showed tremendous development. She will follow the sound of the animals with intonations..soft, same voice but from the intonations, i knew she understand the word...eg: miaw miaw for cat (she will do it twice - the sound) & goong goong gong ..for dog (she will do it thrice ) ..
she will keep on nodded her head for some word she likes & keep on laughing when she heard my family voice & all the sentence & phrase they said to her ... i as so happy to see the progressive development in just 2 weeks ... tq to LR especially Lappy & KL ...
i cant wait for my dotter to start talking ...i'm sure we will have so much fun together!!
Rgds,
Watie
