He grows up together with his cousins and sometimes it's hard to teach him to converse in English. Whenever he is with me, I try my very best to use as much English as possible as the medium of conversation. He'll listen and use a lot of Malay while he stays with my sister (his babysitter and kekasih gelap). Since kids are able to be bilingual so I guess it's easy for him to pick up the two languages.
I would always ask him "what's/who's this/that?" whenever we come across something or someone he knows or familiar with. He could answer pretty well though sometimes I had a hard time to guess what he's trying to tell me. hehehehe! He will also do the same thing to me whenever he comes things/people he knows. He loves reading his books and I love to buy him books :)
So last Saturday, after I done bathing and just about to enter the room, I heard him talking to himself. He was reading his book on the bed. Then he asked me "mommy, wat tet (what's that?) while pointing at a picture in his book. I couldn't get it at first then he answered himself "dob! (dog)". After that he pointed his finger to other picture and started to say it out loud. I joined him and asked him to guess the picture I pointed. He could remember and he knows a lot of things in the book.
His version are as follows:
- Orse (horse)
- Pony
- Meow (cat. Yes we had a hard time to teach him to call it cat instead of meow)
- Chip (sheep)
- Ephen (elephant)
- Montey (monkey)
- Pire tuck (Fire truck)
- Ambien (ambulance)
- Mototitle (motocycle)
- Thomas (train. Too much thomas and friends and yet another hard time)
- Train ( crane *sigh*)
- Pekho (backhoe)
- Tar (car)
- Pwish tar (police car)
- Mommy
- Didi (daddy)
- Antle (uncle)
- Aunty
- Gwempa (grandpa)
- Gwemma (grandma)
- Boy
- Girl
- Baby
- Banana
- Appo (apple)
Those are the words from his books. There are a lot others which he can recall/memorise/know. I am so proud of my baby.
He loves to sing too which he inherits from me and hubster. kadang-kadang dalam kereta selalu nyanyi sampai anak pon dah terikut-ikut. Tula, mommy selalu sangat nyanyi masa mengandung kat Umar :P
He can sing and follow Bruno Mars' 'just the way you are' from the beginning to the end although his pronunciation is so funny.hehehe!
Baby, you grow up a lot more than mommy expected because I still see you as a baby. Tapi anak mommy dah big boy now, Alhamdulillah. Mommy prays for all the good things for you and may you excel now and in the hereafter. I love you so much sayang :)
