a pleasant surprise from jerry.
I havent read a book to jerry for ages. my bad. other priorities got the better of me. i tried to show him a new book tonight but he went to his book shelf and pulled this out instead.
yes. he likes to choose his own books and this is, afterall one of the newer books in his little library.
so here’s my surprise. I started pointing out the animals one by one and asked.. “what is this?” across each item on the book cover.
and he went…
dog!
horse!
cat!
house!
bird!
(when I point to the hive) bee!
spider!
sun!
flower!
and im stumped. I definitely had not expected that he’ll get every one of them correct. ok. its wasnt really a house but a barn there but still..
I guess he’s soaking up things a lot faster than I am expecting him to. while I know he knows the individual words separately, I have never asked him to name them randomly from a book that I pick up so I am rather surprised.
and as usual, I asked the kid to show it to daddy and he got showered with loads of kisses.
guess we havent been observing him enough. and school has definitely helped him in some ways.
and so, today, I celebrate life’s little achievements. however small and minute it might be.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
