Since the time her papa has started to coach her on spelling(well, only a little bit, cos he stopped there after and expected me to take over, hahaha), she's been asking for the help in this area whenever she has the 'inspiration' to write something.
Of 'cos, without discliplined and constant spelling guidance, she couldn't remember all/most of the words we've taught her but there are a couple I think she would remember, especially after the past few days... Why? It's becos, a few days ago, she made me angry and when hubby learnt about it, he told her that she's to write 'I am sorry, I will be a good girl' 10 times, like she did for him last week when she got him upset. However, she's not taught how to write 'will be', she did this :
The Hello Kitty sticker and drawings were added 'cos she insisted
that she need to make it look nicer for me
Before Ms Mok was able to get us another time slot for her extended lessons, she's asked if Renee is able to read time. She's of cos unable to do so on the old type of clock, and even reading from a digital one, she's still unable to comprehend the actual concept of time. The reason she asked was to find out if Renee would fuss when the duration of her lessons became longer and I told her that she might as she could gauge. It was still ok on our 1st extended lesson but today, she began to fuss, complaining "why so long?". Probably it's also because as we've only agreed to her taking the grading exam not too long ago and thus, we have in a way, more to catch up and Ms Mok is trying to push abit more today. In the end, I'm being entrusted with the 'homework' task again, haiz... Today, I've also told Ms Mok that Renee has requested for a change on 1 of the songs selected for the exam and after being tested on the alternative piece, she deemed it ok but that as it'd be a waste since she's already started practicing on the other one, so for now, she'd be practicing on an extra piece(arrrggghhh) til we'll confirm it after our practices with the accompaniment(which, of cos we'd have to pay for each practice and exam as well, I shld hv reconsidered letting her learn violin! lolz).
When we got home, I told her to have her shower first as I'd like to have a short nap whilst her papa was doing so and she got sooo angry when I disrupted her play that she retaliated by 'hitting' me in the shower room! OMG, how has our little princess turned sooo naughty?! I spanked her 'culprit' arm a few times and feeling too upset, I didn't wish to 'punish' her anymore and just told her that her papa will have to be told about this, as usual. She cried when I spanked her, in fact she already looked frightened after she's hit me and quickly apologised to me a few times. However, this is an totally unacceptable behaviour and I believe she knew it as well, so she didn't dare to further aggravate the situation by crying loudly as she'd sometimes do to try and get the forgiveness she's asking for.
After I've showered and she's dressed herself, I told her to leave me alone to nap and I saw her walking very sadly into our studyroom...
Last night, she said she's run out of plain paper and needed one to draw the artwork we've done recently. This morning, she told me that she wanted to give Ms Mok that piece of drawing and showed it to me when we were walking to the block from the carpark. I was surprised at the drawing and I liked it! Ms Mok was also very surprised and asked if she's already started her drawing classes, hahaha. When I told her no, not yet 'cos we've yet to register her with the school and she complimented "woah, she's really good". Did she say it out of courtesy?, I don't know but I really liked it myself. In fact, I've asked Renee why she drew that for Ms Mok and not for me(especially when it's her 1st attempt on that artwork) and asked if she could draw another for me. Her answer was of cos "yes", :D.
So, when my alarm beeped 1/2 hr later, she came to my bedside and gave me this(below pic). I knew I couldn't respond warmly to that and so I told her to just leave it there and she did so quietly, sadly...
It was only just now, after I've tucked her to bed that I took a proper look at her drawing/writing and I went to ask her what does the checked sad/angry faces mean(with her name written beside it) and she said they represented 'naughty her' - har, hubby and I had misinterpreted her trying to say that she won't show us angry faces anymore, hahaha. After my this little talk with her, she was fainlly able to fall asleep...
I'm not saying tt tis is a genius' work, Am just surprised becos she's totally no formal
drawing classes, :). And actually, in comparison, the one she did earlier's much
better, afterall, she's done this pc in a 'sad' mood, hahaha
