I lost my bag



At Waterfront

 

If she wants Juice, she said "juice" and points to the freeze because she knows that the juice is kept there. She uses a stool and climbs so that she can reach on the kitchen tap and play with water. She is so fond of water and does not waste a second to play with it. Once she finds that we are busy doing something and there she goes, splashes water on her face, hands, legs and smiles.
Ice-cream --oh no...she drags us to the Mc Donald's ...
We say, "time for ice-cream" if she denies not to go home. Sometime a lying works...



Keyboarding

 During her 21 months, she has been talking a lot, especially her own language which we could not grasp. Moreover, she has been saying many words, most importantly most of the things/words we say. Sometime she would say words and we have to repeat after her, more like she acting as a teacher. She says and understands koku, sit, up, clock, watch, ring, monkey, sleep, ice-cream, soup, bath, coke, water, cycle, ship, juice etc. The best thing about this month is that her vocabulary has increased.
