Important Life Skills

Kaelyn is working hard to gear herself for Primary One.  Mummy has a whole list of things that she need to learn to do by herself.  Being the only child, she is very much sheltered (especially by Daddy) and these simple chores may be easy for some but not for all.  Here's the list:

1. Learn to Buy Food.  But first of all, she needs to master her courage to talk to food vendors which was taking away a lot of mummy's energy and patience just to ask her to open her mouth to say a few simple sentence. 

Status - needs a lot of encouragement!

2.  Learn about Money.  She knows simple addition and subtraction eg. she knows 10-2 is 8 but when $1.00 - $0.20 she is lost. 

Status - Still learning.

3.  Toilet Training.  She has to know how to clean herself after passing motion. 

Status - most of the times successful if she wants to do it by herself.  Sometimes, traces of poo stains can be found on her panties.

4.  Put on Socks - She must learn how to put on the socks by herself properly. 

Status - just started learning. 

5.  Tie her Hair - Either she learn to tie her hair or have her hair cropped... that is the message she got from Mummy. 

Status - learnt the skills within 2 days (see video).  See her proud moments!!
