One of the favourite activities of daddy during the weekend is to help little Sheri do her morning exercises. I must confess that daddy has always been the one who is more consistent in stretching her after she wakes up in the morning, especially during weekends when he has more time with her. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you would have watched a video of daddy helping Sheri do her morning exercises when she was very little.
As usual, daddy did his routine exercise with Sheri on last Saturday morning. As he was counting one, two three, four, five, Sheri miraculously blurted out the number 'six' and after he finished saying 'seven', she said 'eight' to continue his courting. At first, we thought that it was just a coincidence, so daddy did the courting again. Amazingly, she did it again. Somehow, she managed to recognise the number pattern subconsciously whenever we do the courting in front of her.
This incident reminded us about what daddy's boss told him when Sheri was born. He told daddy that babies are smarter than us. They can make sense of what they are hearing and seeing everyday even though they may not be able to express it instantly. As time goes, they never fail to surprise us with occasional sparks of brilliance.

Sheri is pretty fast in mastering her numbers.
That's really how babies pick up languages, direct copy of what their parents say to them everyday.
We are still amazed how Althan so many times just pick up words at first and now even complete sentenses without really understanding what they mean.
Make sure you speak lots of Mandarin and Hokkein to Sheri too, haha...
