She also demonstrated that...

(during the last 2 weeks)
 
Keys open locked doors.
Ning asked Popo to bring her out. Popo shows that she cannot open the door because it is locked. Ning points to bunch of keys hanging next to door, then touched her index finger at the key hole.
 
When it's time to sleep, we go upstairs.
About 9pm daily, she'll start creeping to foot of stairs and point upwards then nod, indicating it's time to go up for milk and bed. The amazing thing is, the timing is very regular for a 11 month old who can't 'read' a clock / time yet!
 
That a pencil or a pen is for making marks on paper!
We've shown her before, to teach her the actual purpose of pencil so she won't poke, bite or eat the pencils and pens she finds. She found a pencil and paper (that Cerys left around) at Popo's and started making marks too. Mostly striking lines and dots on the paper. She chose the pencil during her birthday 'gift selection'.
 
Switching on and off television.
This skill is quite empowering, especially when it comes to the television. Now Mummy must respect her wish to have Mummy pay attention to her.
 
She understands Mummy don't allow hitting people, even if they find it funny.
She was swiping Mah Mah away initially, then when Mah Mah reacted funnily, she began doing it on purpose. I said sternly, "No hitting Mah Mah", and looked at her disapprovingly, shaking my head. She didn't do it again. Come to think of it, she didn't really swiped much later on, except when she's sleepy and really don't want others to carry her.
 
She understands the Cantonese word "Pai pai" and can do so.
Worshipped the altar for ancestors and Goddess of Mercy.
 
Swipe the touch phone and make things appear and disappear
Omnia II has a 'desktop' which when swiped changes. She did it a few times today. Wonder what other programs she can play, might come in handy while traveling.
 
What 2 is
There were 10 preserved fruit wrapped in paper in a bottle, she was initially taking them out randomly and putting them back in. I asked her to take 2 out for Mummy. After taking 2 out, I waited. She tapped on the bottle as if to say, 2 already, what are you waiting for? I said, "Oh, thank you!" and praised her for it. Then I poured out all from the bottle, and asked her to put 2 back in, and she put 2 in. Then she swiped the rest away.
 
I'm impressed. I'd never thought that a baby can be so intelligent so early, though I've read it and believe it, it never ceases to amaze me.
I'm just hoping I'm doing enough to feed her learning apetite. Gotta find out more about our natural environment to point things out to her.
 
Have vowed to myself:
to show her at least 10 new things a day;
read at least 10 books to her a day;
do as much doman cards to her as possible a day.
