Weekend Reflections: My Little Princess Tiger Girl

Tiger Girl

Tiger girl is 26 months old this November. I’ve seen a drastic change in her since she turned two. Nope I ‘m not talking about the terrible twos and toddler tantrums but her physical and mental progression. I consider two years old as a really magical age for a child.

Within these two month she has progressed from speaking in simple sentences  to complex sentences. She  can hold her own two way conversation with me and  is able to tell exactly what she wants. Tiger girl is also singing more different nursery rhymes in both English and Mandarin. This little girl simply loves singing and will break out into songs whenever we are travelling  together in the car. Sometimes she would request that I sing along with her while on other occasions she would be singing alone.

Tiger girl is able to recognize alphabets and simple words. She can also spot and recognize numbers from 1-20. It amazes me when she suddenly starts pointing to words or numbers that she sees around here when we out and loudly exclaims  “That’s a Number 5!” or ” That’s an Apple!!”  Her learning has accelerated a lot these few months and she seems to have grown up and matured a lot since hitting the big 2.

My little girl has her own fashion preference and  would pick out her own attire if we were going out. She has a liking for items in pink or purple and loves Care bears and Hello Kitty. She also loves playing trains and guns with her brothers and  the three of  them can hole up in the boys room for hours playing together.

Do you notice a drastic change in your child  after he/she turned two?

[Book Review]-The Day an Angel Ran into My Room

Book cover

The Day an Angel Ran into My Room by Annabella Vanezuela-Alarcon is a children’s storybook about a girl named Alessandra who had a visit from her guardian angel before going to bed one night.

Angelise her guardian angel spoke to her and told her that she is special. She is part of a great big family and has many different teachers who can teach her. There are teachers to teach her in school about academics while her parents and those around her teach her about love.

Angeleise also lets Alessandra into some secrets about life.  She tells her how important it is for her to remain positive and think of good things. Do not be afraid to ASK  GOD for things she may need and if GOD thinks she should have it, it will be given to her.  Everything that she does have a reaction.  Any good deed that Alessandra does will be multiplied and more good would come back to her.

If she faced any problems to seek help from her parents or guardian angel as problems are learning experiences which she has to go through in life. GOD is also always there for her and will send her guardian angel down to her in times of need.

My thoughts

I love how Annnabella uses day to day examples to explain GOD’s love and actions and how being positive and prayer can help a person.

Praying means closing your eyes and reaching
deep, deep into your heart with all your love
and feeling like one with God.

The quotation above  from one of the pages really caught my  attention. Prayer is something which is each child can do.They can pray to GOD for guidance and seek his help. She makes it so easy for a child who is reading the book to understand these concepts which maybe rather complex to a 5 yr old.  My son really enjoyed reading the book together with me and learning more about how GOD and his love for us. I certainly recommend this book to any parent who would like to explain about guardian angels and the need to ASK and seek help when needed.
