You can read a whole book by yourself at the age of 4 years old

by Ida Khoo @ Jwo Yi’s mummy
I was thinking to my self the other day of how to teach you to read. And since I did buy a series of books of a dog called Spot, so I decide to teach you using that series of books as the words are easy and big and short sentences. 

I start with the book where Spot say goodnight to everyone. I don't know the title of the book because it's in Chinese. But on the inside it's written in Chinese and English. I started to tech you on Wednesday Night. It's very simple. 

Time to come in, Spot.

Goodnight Tom.

Goodnight Helen. Helen: See you tomorrow, Spot.

Spot puts his toys away. Goodnight Car.

Are you ready for your bath, Spot? Spot: Nearly

Now Spot is awake and having fun.

Goodnight Dad. I'm all clean. Dad: You smell nice, Spot.

Goodnight Ginger. Ginger (cat): I'm coming with you.

Goodnight Teddy. Teddy (teddy bear): I'm ready for bed too.

Goodnight Mum. Mum: I'll be up to tuck you in.

Is there anyone else to say goodnight to?

Oh yes. Goodnight me!

You can read all that by yourself. To say that you recognize the word I don't think so. I think you memorized it. But for a 4 year old to memorized a whole book in one night is pretty fast. I teach you how to get the sound out from the letters of the word and I think you did that and you can read it a bit and also from memorizing it. I'm so proud of you. I don't know that you force yourself to do that or you really can read. I say that because on that day that I tech you I told you that if you can read the whole book by yourself then I'll get you a surprise present. So I don't know if that's the reason you can read it so fast or you are really that good.

The conclusion is that I'm very proud of you my Jwo Jwo.

Autumn School Trip to Yue Yuan Yuan - Shanghai Sculpture Park

by Ida Khoo @ Jwo Yi’s mummy
The Autumn School Trip is the day after your 4th birthday that is on the 22nd of October 2010. And it's so lucky that your daddy is back from Beijing.

Yue Yuan Yuan is a sculpture park. Your class were in bus number 4. It take us about 50mins from your school to the park. Your were very excited and happy. I'm also excited as I can visit another new place in Shanghai.

Your school charge us RMB278 for 2 adults and one child. So I think it's worth it and transportation provided and child's food provided.

It also happen that on the 22nd October 2010 is me and your daddy's 5th wedding anniversary.

The below is the pictures taken on that day.
