Amy



My baby is getting so big now!! She is sooo independent and wants to do everything herself.

She is only wearing nappies when she sleeps at night, and often wakes up with a dry nappy but I'm not ready to stop the night nappies just yet. She doesn't have accidents at school anymore, and she doesn't even sleep her afternoon nap in a nappy! The school really helped so much with the potty training.

She is also sleeping in her big bed at night! She sleeps very well, but some nights I have to sit with her until she falls asleep, because otherwise she gets out of bed and plays!! Although I must admit most nights I lie down with her and end up falling asleep myself.


Amy is saying many Chinese words now, her favorite being "bu yao" which means "don't want". I know she speaks a lot of Chinese at school, she even has these Chinese flashcards and then they teach her at school to recognise them. At home she still mixes her languages a lot but I know it will come right eventually. She can count in English from 1-5 and in Chinese from 1-10 (except 7 and 9, she always forgets 7 and 9)

Her big love is still music. She still sings "Twinkle twinkle" and "I love you" and then she has also started singing some Chinese songs from school. Too cute!!

Amy still likes Barney, she really enjoys "In the night garden" and then her favorites at the moment are Dora and Diego, she watches these in Chinese. (they are originally in English and Spanish but we get it on TV dubbed in Chinese with a bit of English: so that Mama can also understand) Most of the TV she watches is in Chinese, we even get Chinese Spongebob!!!

Amy's favorite thing to do at the moment is swim! We joined a swimming pool for a month and have been going everyday. There is an indoor swimming pool and then a few smaller pools, and jacuzzis, whirpools etc... She absolutely loves the water. We bought her a pair of armbands and she is very happy to be able to "swim" on her own.

Amy waiting for her armbands to be pumped up

Amy all ready to go swimming!!

I hope you are all well. Lots of love
