What's in a name?



Nearly two years ago when mummy found out that she was expecting you, I have wanted a name for you that represents a shining little angel. So we chose the name 'Phoebe' which is of greek origin and it means bright and radiant.


And for a while, Mummy has been refraining from putting down your milestones in any form of medium for fear of being label as a 'show off' :-p


However, as this blog is for you, we hope when you are old enough to read this, you will realise that you have been a very special girl and over-achiever, in our eyes, for little tot of your age.


Milestones:
10.5 months - you recognise words like 'fish' and 'car' when mummy wrote them on the board
12 months - you have a vocabulary of almost 100 words and recognise them too.
14 months - you could recite1-10 including the chinese version :-)
16 months - you finally learn how to walk! Haha
17 months - you could recite A-Z and recognise all primary and secondary colours including brown?
18 months - you are reading simple sentences on your own
19 months - you start to speak in choppy sentences and recognise various shapes including trapezium and hexagon
20 months - you sang your first song what else but twinkle twinkle little star and learning how to count


Mummy hopes in the next fifteen years of formal education (at least!), you can look back on this and gain some form of motivation (maybe?). Although you could pick up concepts fairly quickly, what we really hope and deem critical and challenging would be for you to have the right attitude and a beautiful personality, and only with that can you shine brightly and create a spark not only to your life, but others too. But for now, mummy and daddy would just look at these little milestones and smile...
