Zaya things we do

 I often think I'm not doing enough for Zaya , but if I actually think about it in spite of just schedules we do our time and thought into exposing her to different activities.

Her day care was an early choice to help her grow in the right environment where she learnt 

- colors

- social interaction

- eating 

- stories and art

- alphabets

- block building 

- countries and languages 

- music 

- napping 

- rhymes 

At home we played 

- matching cards

- went for walks

- spent time with scooter

- learnt alphabets and words

- played with barbies 

- blocks and imagining cities

- singing and dancing 

- limited TV time.

- coloring 

She traveled and met folks

- Hawaii / India / north carolina / texas / Canada 

Activities :

- She used to see me do yoga and try that.

- tried gym for a bit

- tried swimming twice 

- skating with dad

- dance

- basketball 

- scooter 

Of course we've also trained her in daily habits 

- diaper free restroom use

- bathing 

- sleep

- expression

She can do better in some areas 

- not making mess / putting things away 

- eating food by herself

- morning schedule 

- listening and learning from others before wanting to prove she knows something.

Sometimes I do see posts of kids just 5 years old on social media one kid especially that was able to do multiple things well and wonder if I've not focused enough on Zaya.

That kid is

- chatty , confident , teaches her dad sometimes a lil authoritatively but I guess it's fine. 

- knows phonetics

- knows to recite stories

- is good at both English and two native languages 

- plays drums

- dances on the stage. 

- plays tennis and is really good at shots. 

- has cultural exposure

- dices vegetables really well.
