Monday, September 28, 2015

was searching online for baby names ideas.
didnt know where to start so begin to search for 'rosanne' hoping that the website may provide some names for siblings of rosanne. #ithinkiamsosmart
and i saw this...



expression #5 sounds somewhat like her!

People with this name are excited by change, adventure, and excitement. They are dynamic, visionary and versatile, able to make constructive use of freedom. They fight being restricted by rules and conventions. They tend to be optomistic, energetic, intelligent, and to make friends easily. They may be changeable, restless, untidy, and rebellious.

when we named her, we just hoped that she will be a graceful rose.. did not read much into the name..
i think this time we have to be more careful.. lol..

what's with these pregnancy dreams anyway..

last week, i kept dreaming of morbid stuff...
death of both people i know and strangers on the street, witnessing death, getting lost in the forest, dropping off a cliff and a killer whale ate a buoy outside my bedroom. -.-"

the ultimate was dreaming of my own death.
i was in a accident and survived. was in some old england country not sure where and they decided to have a ceremony for me in a church.
i was to choose the details of decoration, flowers and etc. 
but somehow i felt disconnected to the people around me. they asked me questions but it seems like they were unable to hear me but yet they just continued talking.
when the ceremony was prepared i realised it was my own funeral that i am preparing.
and i realised i have to die after the ceremony...
i started to cry and shout how unfair it is and i dont want to die yet..
daddy stroked my hair and told me that how sad he is that things turn out like this. what he said is not replying to what i said..
it ended with me shouting to the dodo that i really dont want to die yet, i havent use my new mascara..... -________-"



after that night, i was a little scare to go to sleep. =(

and last night, i dreamt that i was divorced.. T.T
i met the hubs on the streets one day and realised both of us are no longer wearing our rings. so sad...

was home alone with the little girl this morning.
she made a poo and so i gave her her morning bath and played a little with her..
when it was time to get out of the shower she ignored me and continued to play with her toothbrush.
-_-"

so i said ok, mummy give you five more minutes ok?
she said yes.

she was actually slowly sipping water from her yellow cup and gargling her mouth.
which was cute to watch. hahaha.
but i went to put away her bathe stuff and after the five minutes, i went back to collect her.

me: rosanne, its time to get out of the shower!
her: 싫어!

-_____-"


really!? did i watched too much korean? or its just her shichida class?
but i am very sure of what i heard!

my little girl is really sweet..

this morning, she hovered around me asking me to wear my shoes so that we can go out.. she even help me take my shoes and placed it at my feet.. then I told her I haven't wear my sock so she started to look for my socks for me.. after probably about 10mins she gave up and put my shoes back in the corner. 

but when she saw me wearing my socks, she quickly took my shoes and placed it at my feet and even attempted to help me put them on.. :) 

but mummy never say thank you and even chase her with her monster socks.. 



hahaha.

let's play pretend!

Why playing silly jokes is the best lesson for children: Clowning around helps young make friends and think more creatively by Colin Fernandez, Science Correspondent For The Daily Mail

Serious-minded parents may want their children to excel in life by teaching them Chinese or advanced physics. But scientists have found that in fact silly play – such as an adult putting a toy chicken on their head - helps a child develop abstract thought.

As well as joking, playing ‘let’s pretend’ is also a vital way for children to learn important life skills, such as maintaining relationships, creativity, and generally enjoying life researchers argue.

Children as young as 16 months old learn the difference between an adult joking and playing ‘let’s pretend’ from picking up on their parents’ cues.

Researchers from Sheffield University carried out two studies. One involved parents being asked to joke and pretend with their 16 to 20-month-old children. Jokes involved misusing objects like putting food on their heads, while pretend play included activities like washing hands without soap or water. In the other study, parents of 20 to 24 months old were asked to joke and pretend verbally with their toddlers. Pretend play included parents telling their children a round block was a horse and jokes included mismatching items like saying that a toy chicken was a hat.

When pretending, parents showed more ‘belief’ in what they did. The study found a mild difference between the sexes in whether they preferred joking or pretending. The authors noted: ‘Girls were perhaps more engaged in pretending than joking compared to boys.’ Dr Elena Hoicka, from Sheffield University’s department of psychology, said: ‘The study shows just how important play is to children’s development.

‘Parents who pretend and joke with their children offer cues to distinguish the difference between the two and toddlers take advantage of these cues to perform. ‘But if parents were pretending that, for example, a block was a horse, they might repeatedly make the block gallop, which would encourage children to do the same, and understand that the block really was a horse in their imagination.’

She added: ‘The research reveals the process in which toddlers learn to distinguish joking and pretending. Knowing how to joke is good for maintaining relationships, thinking outside the box, and enjoying life. Pretending helps children to practice new skills and learn new information. So while parents may feel a bit daft putting a toy chicken on their head they can at least console themselves with the knowledge that they are helping their children develop important skills for life.’

Future research projects will include parent surveys on joking and pretending to see how these abilities develop from birth through to three years old.
