1 to 10..."maashallah"
My baby can count from 1 to 10. Few days ago , all she can say was 1.2.3.....6.7.8..... Yesterday to my surprise, she counted from 1 to 10 without missing any numbers. She was playing with her papa in the room and all of a sudden my DH called me to the room. I was in the kitchen washing the dishes. Both daughter and papa came out to the hall...he told me, "zoha can count till 10!" I was thinking she will be missing out the 4 and 5 but I still encouraged her to count the numbers. She went like this, "1.2.3.4.5" and she stopped for few seconds before continuing "6.7.8.9.10". I dropped my dishes on the basin and clapped my hands. We are definitely very proud of our little darling for her BIG effort. I think it is useful to count while we climb stairs and that is what I usually do with DZ. We both count the stairs loudly and I don't care if I am get stared at because I am teaching my darling how to count. My next task is to teach her the Alphabets. Songs that my DZ can sing now :1. Barney's "I LOVE YOU" song. She goes like this..." I love you, you love me, we are happy fami'wy', great big hug, kiss to you. I love you, you love me"2. "Happy Bday" song. 3. "See-saw...up and down, you go up and I come down". She can play to the song, "If you happy and you know it, clap your hand...". She knows Barney and his friends...She even knows the songs sequence in her barney cd...that shows how many times she has watched that cd.Yesterday was the first time that she slept without her pacifier. She started sucking on the pacifier when she was a baby. She used to cry alot and my dear sister forced it on her then. Thanks to my darling sister, I am faced with this challenge as to stop her from using the pacifier I have to be harsh on this as I find her teeth are not coming out nice and she is so dependent on it. In the middle of the night, she finds for her pacifier or "theem" she calls it, with her eyes closed and put it in her mouth. The first thing she looks for is the pacifier. I decided to do something about this and yesterday I did it. She cried alot at night asking for her "theem" and I had to pacify her saying that I left it at her grandma house. She cried to sleep. She cried in the middle of the night and even in the morning. Her first night without the pacifier. I am not sure what will happen tonight. Will I let her have the "theem"?
