2021 My Daughter and I (Author: Qingniu C)

This article is mostly a father's broken thoughts plus a little bit of ostentation, so friends who don't know me can quit directly.

My year with my daughter.

1. Me

A few words of investment, this year many times in a state of lying flat without a big deal, here to thank a number of friends including brother wolf from time to time to my information prompts.

After the first quarter net worth rushed to 1.54, the head was hot to the hot, and then a stupid home operation caused the net value to slide to 1.21 at a very high speed. After that, the full position switched to a safe variety, and after several tosses, it finally ended at 1.37. If this had been done in previous years, I might have pounded my chest and scolded myself a million times for being stupid. But this year, I was quickly relieved that my main energy was not on investment, and I was quite satisfied.

Investing in the coming year is still not the focus of my life, so the annual target is 1.2. This kind of day will last about until my daughter is in elementary school, so at this pace, my 100 times goal must be postponed, and it will take 3-4 years.

2. My daughter and I

I think the daughter in the eyes of every father is the best, flawless. But when I started the machine to summarize the year, I immediately thought of some worries about her at the beginning of the year. The problem was that my daughter seemed to have perfectly inherited all the flaws of my wife and me, both in character and physique.

So, after she started walking, I arranged a lot of outdoor activities every day, no less than 6 hours a day in summer and autumn, and no less than 3 hours a day in winter. To ensure that her vision develops enough outdoor light, a large number of outdoor activities also ensure more stimulation. Whether it is physical agility or acceptance of new things, this year is significantly better than her peers or even many of her children, and this result also makes me put aside unnecessary worries.

In a month, my daughter will turn two years old.

This year we traveled alone, about 1400 kilometers according to the odometer, except for 35 kilometers round trip to the zoo once every two weeks, and no less than twice a week by car. On the way, in the second half of the year, she slowly became independent of breakfast, constantly communicating with me through gestures and small sand hammers. Here I would like to say that the process of learning sign language is very happy and is a very good parent-child interaction.

This year, after arriving at her destination several times, she never left the parking lot, because she was suddenly interested in license plates, so we shuttled through the parking lot. She can now articulate numbers and letters clearly in Cantonese, Mandarin and sign language.

This year, because of the epidemic, we often get the treatment of "private field", botanical garden, zoo and some cartoon exhibitions. We also squatted at a fire station near our home for a few days, and then the fire station allowed us to go in and visit for two hours, and my daughter was very happy.

Every day (rain or breeze) activities and outings, I try to make sure to introduce her to various things in bilingual. According to Youdao Dictionary, a total of 1100+ words were queried this year (including queries to avoid pronunciation errors). Since she is not yet fluent in sentences, it is not yet possible to judge how many words she has mastered, but based on her reaction in the newly opened English picture book reading in the past two months, I estimate that her cognition of nouns and a small number of adjectives that appear frequently in her daily life is no longer impaired. And with a lot of new sentences, she began to show a certain ability to speculate.

Linguistically, it is currently possible to recite two poems in a staggered manner. This piece is also random, like other studies, it will not be deliberately taught, and only read it to her when she herself flips through the Tang poetry picture book on the bookshelf and shows interest.

These two months, when I was preparing for lunch and dinner, she also began to participate. For example, after I open the pea pod with scissors, she can help me take out all the beans. Sleeping independently, undressing independently, brushing her teeth and washing her face independently (although I still need to do it again for her after she does it herself), more and more small things, she starts to do it independently, which is really great.

A lot of outdoor activities, coupled with always wearing half a piece of clothing less than other children, brings health benefits. In the past two years, there has only been one fever caused by the vaccine, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, colds in the season and other common problems of children. But the negative problem is "black", really black. Other people's little dolls are white and fat drops, my girlfriend is black...

Overall, the year was a happy year. I slowly let go of some of the worries of the past three years and began to be a little happy and proud of her. I also began to enjoy this life, we would sit on the side of the road and count the cars together, follow the municipal engineering vehicles to observe how the street lights stood up, chase the dragonflies and chase the sunset together, go to the wildcat nest together, catch it together... Of course, she is just an ordinary child, as long as she is physically and mentally healthy, there is no hard indicator of her growth, and I will not be a chicken baby.

A young father with a small doll is the focus everywhere he goes. The process goes from getting used to it at first, to getting used to it slowly, and it's a lot of fun. Summer also got an interview invitation from a mother and baby blogger, which was interesting, but in the end I blocked the press release considering the privacy of the child.

This is my year, a year in which I understand the common growth of other people, teaching and learning. In the coming year, my daughter and I will continue to travel more and farther and grow up happier.

Maybe the future looks back at this year, it is an ordinary year, slowly, she grows up, I get older. But our couple cherishes this day without waves, and there are thousands of investment opportunities, but such days will never return.

Writing here, I think Mingge, when his wife was pregnant, Mingge sent a number of eggs, grateful, have the opportunity to see you again.
