vocabulary

wyy has been increasing her vocabulary steadily... though not sounding exactly the way we know the words.

Wyy dictionary includes

1. Ah ma: pronounced very well. Unfortunately, she sometimes points to me, yeechin, doreen, hweenak, nanda ethan and calls us ah-ma!

2. Dada:(for Daddy) second most accurate. Somehow she likes to also points to photographs and call da-da...even though most of them don't have no da da in them

3. Ma ma: seldom used. Only in panic mode does she call for ma ma... Usually ma ma is dada or ah-ma

4. Ya ya (which means flower): identifies it accurately. Can recognise it in books, the real thing, as a drawing... only thing is ya ya really does not sound like flower....

5. sheep

6. dog

7. ah-tan: (for Ethan) just realised last weekend that she was calling Ethan a-tan. was wondering what she was talking about chanting ah-tan ah-tan at dinner

8. sheet : (for socks) Sorta controversial cos she doesn't use it that frequently but the last 3 times she said sheet (or shit) she was pointing to her socks. but it is kinda like ya ya...

9. bag : especially when she likes to rummage through our stuff.

I would also like to include bird, apple... but til they get more frequent.
