This morning was having a quick rain pour and my 23mo lo woke up with good mood. She sat on the bed and sang the song "Rain Rain Go Away" after she noticed it was raining. We were surprised that we first time heard she sings that song which previously she watched the song video in Ipad.
There are several amazing acts that my lo can do. She can count from 1-10 by her own. She can memorize A-Z by her own. She can tell some of the ingredients in the soup (though we didn't tell her yet). She can tell the words which she only heard once before. She can make correct sentences by her own in English and Mandarin which we never purposely teach her. She is food observation that any changes in the house, in the room, etc. We feel that her memorisation is very good and we really proud of her.
Since born till now, she is taking breast milk and cow milk (after 1 year old) and so far she still yet to have any formula milk which claim that there have DHA, vitamins, calcium, etc. Therefore, I still believe breast milk is the best for baby~
