Language progress

K has been surprising us with her vocab lately.

One night after her shower while she was sitting on our bed, she said, "Read tory." She usually says, "Read book".

Just last Friday while she was brushing her teeth, she had saliva coming down her chin. She pointed at it and said, "Dipping."

At lunch yesterday, Peen asked her where the television was (mounted to the top of the wall just below the ceiling). She pointed (and we were both expecting her to say, "there" while pointing.) but she thought for a while and said, "Top."

She has recently been hooked on a panda documentary and would keep asking to watch it. She has now got a string of words that she uses to persuade us to let her watch it. "TB, manda, watch, peas, now, wan, on." (TV, panda, watch, please, now, want, on) If we don't react, the repetition would get more persistent and louder, with greater urgency. Funny girl.

For the longest time now, many things are known as "Baby". Well, at least that is the way it comes out for Kim when she means: baby, carry, TV, Dopey, baked beans. Her latest progress is calling the dog. So instead of saying baby for Dopey, she says Dappy. Haha. At least it's evolving though one could argue whether it's getting closer or further from the right pronounciation.
