Little Gerl has learnt to talk! Hooray???!

Everyday there is always something new to be amaze about. For 2 years and 12 days, Little Gerl has brought so much amazement (is there such word?) to my life. I am just so amazed with her every little antics! ( The word amaze is going to be used alot now!)

Our Little Gerl has learnt to 'talk'. Not just to communicate but to identify things, to have a conversation only she understands, to relate to things to make us understand and to just copy whatever someone says. Her recent obsessions to the cartoon 'Shrek' was initially, we thought, was something funny. Our fault was that we indulged her by buying all 4 chapters of Shrek. She began to tickle us when she began to repeat some of the words and actions. It started with silly words/exclamation like 'WHAT!' . She could tell or know what tonexpect next in the story line. But what got me worried was when she began to take 2 toys and 'make' them kiss each other. Yet we still found it humourous! However we have changed to other different cartoons.....

Once we found out that she was able to communicate, Hubby and I began to instill mannerism in her. We both always feel that manners should always start from young. So we started with 'PLEASE'. Initially, whenenver we asked her to say please she would say, ' ticketicketik' and it tickles everyone who hears. And since she got a reaction, she would not say please properly. Till now , whenever someone say, ' say please' she would say 'ticketicketik'. However when she takes the initiative to want something, she was able to say ' please!' . Like one morning when she wanted to play on my IPAD, she brought it to me, said 'gd morning' shove the IPAD to my face and said 'please!' . I had a shock of my life! But am really glad that she is picking up words correctly. She has also learnt to say 'Thank you' when she gets/receives something. Although it may sound 'tiang que'!

So here are some of the words that she has learnt and we have understand:
Yes - nak nak nak
No - no
Bubbles - bable
Shoes - shoo
Baby - baby
Adik (baby sis) - adek
Shrek - shwag
Who is that - whose that
What is that - whose that

She has also learnt to name the different parts of her face like eyes, ears nose, mouth and hair. She can also recognize family members very well! Also able to name them and point to them in pictures or real life. Now the next word we are trying to get her to learn is ' I love you!' . But it seems abit hard for her to catch up. I keep singing her the 'Barney song' ! Oh well, hopefully she will be able to say it before my bday.......
