Spelling Bee

As a parent, we face great challenges to discipline and educate our kid. Not forgetting instilling positive attitudes and good social skills to them!

Every parent will believe that their child is a smart kid and i'm shy to say i'm one of them too :)

Carmel loves to read despite such tender age and he is learning new things at a lightning speed! Few days ago, out of curiousity, I started teaching him spellings. I will spell out the words like bus, car, cat, dog & pig and asked him what it means. He is able to tell me! Experts says children are able to absorb more things before 3 yrs old, so we will teach him whenever possible :)

More than words

Words are forming out from Carmel.

Carmel started with single vowels like car, duck, (butt)erfly, chair, cat, circle, square, dog etc At 19mos, we began to hear 2 vowels and his first word was purple! It was loud and clear. Weeks ago, we were on our way back home one weekdays. As Dennis was parking his car, Carmel called out "Park Car". I wasnt playing attention at first, then I realised what he was saying! It was so audable. He is also forming his own thoughts, he can now differentiate between Big and Small.
We tested him by asking him which is a big car and which is a small car. He always mentioned to point the correct object and say out aloud!

I'm getting more and more excited to hear him babble :)
