DOG

Wyy learnt a new word today.

DOG.
Daddy chin was pointing to her dog 'softtoy'(which is about 5cm tall) and saying DOG and she repeated it. DOG. And in case daddy chin didn't hear her the first time, she repeated it again. DOG. Then she took the toy, crawled to me in the kitchen and said it again. DOG.

Whoa! She got it! Her first noun!

To reinforce the word/imagery, daddy chin showed her a dog "piggy bank" and said DOG. She repeated after us. DOG. Hmm. i think she understands!

ok. so daddy chin and mummy xiu decided it was enough teaching DOG and went downstairs for lunch. While chatting, daddy chin and mummy xiu mentioned the word DOG. Immediately the little one crawled to the "playroom", picked up her dog 'softtoy' brought it to us and said DOG.

Yay! Her first real word. Well she kinda knew "bye" (which she used to use frequently but has somehow forgotten), ah-ma (which she calls quite accurately) but this is an object. And the fact that she could associate it with a soft toy and a hard piggy bank shows that she can kinda understand.

Post note -
Before mummy xiu could even boast to xiaoyi on her new word, wyy again demonstrated her new vocabulary to yk and xiaoyi correctly recognising cappuccino the soft toy DOG.

Mummy xiu is very proud.
