COUNTING 1-10

22nd April 2010, Monday Evening
Min already knew her 1-10 but she simply do not want to say it, when asked.

During bed time, she would ask me to sing 'ABC'.  I would then ask her to say her '123' first.
She would go, "1, 2, 3".
When I asked her, "Then?".
She would go, "Then?".

Today when her father gave her some coins to be put into her piggy bank.  She sat by her piggy bank, counted her 1-10 quietly while putting in the coins!

Zhen asked me "What is life?" today.
My explanation was... "A person, from being a baby until he/she grows up, being an adult, then old, that is his/her life."

Her explanation... "Is it like last time, I, zero (0) year old, then I grow, grow, grow and then up, up, up... is it like this?  Is it life, mummy?"
