An example is in one of the videos in today's post. Kierally has a world map as a place mat at the table. Just for funs, I've been pointing out different countries and seeing if she'll remember them. The thing is that no-one told Kierally that it was just Daddy passing the time and playing little experiments on his child, so she had diligently retained these 'pearls of wisdom' that Daddy has been passing her way. The result is that I'm starting to run out of sizable countries on the map to add to the list of places she can now recognise by name. The second side-effect of my experiment is that now Kiearally wants to do the countries game at the end of meals. I didn't see that one coming. I should have, but I didn't. Sometimes I wonder who is messing with whom.
Yesterday and today we went to a nearby shopping centre where they have a water fountain for children to play in. It's a marvelous idea: the parents get to have a sit down and relax while the kiddies run around like mad things getting all excited and wet but in a very safe environment. Oh, and it's free. I like that. Well the video shows Kierally's first time playing in the fountains and as you can see she rather took to it.
And, by the way, we like mangoes...
