Pre-pre-pre-school Fun!

Bought Chloe these activity books from Powerbooks last Saturday. Age appropriate little work books that I thought I could run do with her (obvious ba, I'm preparing her for school - pour on the pressure early!). I was actually quite excited and heck, the books didn't cost too much, just around P130-P175 each. I bought her one entitled "Thinking skills" which was for ages 2-3 and "Getting Ready to Read" for age 3-5 and "Getting ready to Write" for age 3-5.

Lo and behold, I am once again surprised by my daughter (actually, shocked is the more appropriate word!) She likes the books! I always tell her, "Let's study!" and then we turn the pages of the activity books we bought to find something she'd be interested in. So far, we've done alot of matching shapes, letters, patterns, etc. And she loves it! Geesh, kids will do anything for a sticker! (It comes with the workbook - gold stars and what not every time you complete a page)!

Get this: Chloe has discovered the ERASER! Months ago, we had bought these kid Mongol pencils (they're just a little fatter than the regular pencils). Anyway, we're using that now for her work books and she noticed that when she would a mistake, I would tell her, "Its okay Chloe, we can erase it!" So NOW, she makes mistakes on purpose JUST SO SHE CAN ERASE IT!!! I can tell she's kidding me because if you tell her you only want the correct answers, she'll do it right! Hahahaha, its really funny. Now I gotta find me an eraser, because the one on the pencil is fast disappearning...

Oh and by the way, she is asking her Daddy for a trumpet. She's asked for it twice now - one in the car and once in our room.

And oh, for your Broadway lovers out there, Chloe does not like the song with the words "I am 16 going on 17." But she does know that she saw it on TV. Haha.

Yesterday, while watching A Bug's Life for the millionth time, she asked me a simple question. "Mommy, can I be a bug?" I asked her why. She said, "So I can be in the TV." Naks. Watch my Mama Rose instincts come out. "I had a dream! A dream about you, baby..."

Haha, just kidding! Goodbye to Blueberry Pie...
