These two days we started to train our 27.5mo lo to sleep alone on her own bed (which is just beside our queen size bed). The funny thing is every midnight, she will squeeze herself to our bed and sleep beside me not matter how narrow the space is available. (LOL) The first night, I was not nursing her to sleep and she cried few times in the mid night until I DL before I started to cook her foods. Well, tonight will be the 3rd night of training and I hope she will get used to it with time pass.

I was a Phonics English （福尼斯英语）teacher, taught kids from Age 5 -10 in a tuition centre N years ago. I found that this set of Phonics English is very good. There are total 75 phograms in the program and I have taught my girl 18 phonograms so far. The learning time for Phonics is 10 minutes only every night after she takes shower. As weekend I will let her rest and no phonics hence she always telling me that "No Phonics today?".... LOL... what a lazy bump bump...
