I thank God for the energy to continue the homeschool activities for Faith. As she gets more and more cheeky and vocal, and sometimes persistent (or insistent) on things, it does wear out Mummy's patience at times. Breathe breathe... 

Here are some photos from last week's learning:
1) French toast for breakfast - lovingly prepared by Tita Irene (our helper) with a dog shaped cookie cutter, to be in line with our animal of the month.
2) Learning about colours - we have not used Dot markers in a while and I brought it out for Faith that day. She usually prefers to dot the colours as she likes but thank God she was able to follow instructions rather closely that day. (Still spot one yellow dot on the big blue square!)

Our activity yesterday - we did some puppets of Lion and Mouse to go with the prescribed reading book. See Faith having fun with her puppets! She enjoys it even more when Papa reads her the book, with the puppets during bedtime reading. :)

What we did today? We did some colouring. Faith enjoys choosing the colours and opening and capping the crayons. The worksheet shows some of the animals we have covered under the My Father's World homeschool curriculum.

She had even more fun with the Do-a-dot markers. I initially got a basic set of 4 (red, blue, yellow, green) and later got whatever other colours I could find. Faith had fun dotting all the different colours. I like it that the names of the colours are shown clearly on the markers and it's a lesson on learning about colours too. :)

The weather was good and Faith accompanied mummy for a swim at the pool. It started to rain just as we stepped out of the pool! Thank God for holding back the rain clouds while we were swimming!

Faith's hair was a bit too long and thick for the hot weather recently and we once again visited Kcuts at Nex to look for Auntie Mandy. She's good and fast with children. Faith was initially smiling and waving at everyone before her turn but when she got seated with the bib around her, she started to show signs of rejection. Mummy had to quickly distract her in order to complete the haircut.

Recent developments for Faith:
1) It has been proven - she has a powerful voice. During my last swim, which I went alone, Faith called "Mama" from our 10th storey apartment and Mama could hear her loud and clear from the pool a distance away. Mama is amazed! 
2) She's able to search for the correct key to our main door from a bunch of keys, be it Papa's or Mama's set of keys.
3) She's able to recognise directions to places which we usually visit. Like the way from the NTUC supermarket to the lift we usually use.

Thank God and praise God for the development we see in Faith! Amen!
