Last night you went out with yeh yeh and da gu. They just came back from HK and were going to have their dinner. It was almost 9:30pm i.e. almost your bedtime and you're still not home.
So I called daddy to see if he has picked you from yeh yeh's house. Right after I ended the call with daddy,you came back. So I SMS daddy and told him you're home so that he wouldn't need to pick you up from yeh yeh's house anymore. Not long after that, daddy messaged and said ok. So you took the phone and read all the messages I sent to daddy. Hehe!! I'm really happy that you can read now.

Reading & baby brother - 3 years and 11 months old
Mommy hasn't been able to give you as much attention as before and hasn't been teaching you anything since didi arrived. Mommy will make time for you when mommy has fully recovered. Meanwhile, mommy gets tired easily.
The day mommy gave birth to didi, you visited mommy at night at the hospital. You came with granny, Sin Yee ah yee, Magdelene & Adam yi zang. Yeh Yeh and nai nai along with others arrived earlier. Gong gong visited mommy and didi despite his health condition. Gong gong just had a nose surgery the week before and hasn't fully regain his normal stamina and he gets tired easily. Gong Gong said he couldn't stay back and really wanted to see didi and mommy despite having to drive for 2.5 hours. Mommy could see that you really love your little didi from the way you looked at him. You said didi is cute.
For the next 2 days after didi was born, daddy brought you to accompany mommy during the day at the hospital because you've been missing me. Mommy stayed at the hospital for 3 days. So, for 2 nights, you had to sleep without mommy. You didn't cry. Daddy read story book to you before bed time, just like what mommy did before, then you had milk and brushed your teeth before you sleep.
Since didi arrived, mommy hasn't got much chance to read bed time story to you. Now, daddy reads to you every night. I miss reading to you very much my darling. I miss doing things which I've been doing with you before didi arrives. Mommy is so busy with pumping out breast milk, feeding didi, doing laundry and etc.
Your development:
You can read independently. This is the result of mommy's continuous effort for the past 2-3 months. Mommy knew that we won't have much time for each other when didi arrives and one thing I wanted you to achieve is to be able to read independently so that when I'm busy, you can read by yourself.
I was surprised when you read the Oxford Reading Tree series which MC ah yee bought for you from UK. At first, you wanted me to read as you never try reading any book by yourself without mommy guiding you. I was busy and asked if you could try reading it yourself while I was just standing nearby putting in some bottles into the steriliser. So, you looked at the book and paused for a second, and you tried and managed to read the sentence correctly. Since then you gained confidence. All of my effort wasn't wasted. before didi arrived, I showed you 100 basic words flash cards and read your favourite story books again and again.Of course, not all 100 card for a session. Each session, we only played with about 30 cards, depending on how much time we've left before bedtime. We normally reach home around 9:30pm from yeh yeh's house. Every session was like a game and you enjoyed every session very much. We had your soft toys together and pretended they're your friends or babies.
Your phonics improved and I was surprised. I tested you by saying the phonics for a 3 letter word and you managed to say the word out. Eg, I say "Berh eh gurh" (bag), "keh eh terh"(cat) & etc.
Although alot of other children could read earlier than you, but I'm already satisfied with your achievement already.
