Talk

I'm putting down some of the funny things you've said lately. You're so cute. I'm always thinking you are so brilliant when you can speak good, complete sentences whether in English or Malay. My heart just sings and smiles.

The other day I asked you "Arwen, are you sweet or sour?" and you replied, "Mama, I'm not a food. I'm Arwen..."

Just before that, early one morning I asked you " Arwen, would you like some milo?" and I pronounce milo as "my-lo". You answered "Yes" and then you simply stated "Tok Lia calls it milo" and you said it as "Mee-lo". So clever of you to notice the difference and to note and remembered who says what.

Last week, Shireen was here in our house playing with you and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon she announced that you and her would like to go to the playground. It was going to rain at that time and there was thunder every few minutes or so. I explained to both of you that we can't go now because it's going to rain and there's the thunder and that lightning can hit us and we would not be able to run in time..bla..bla..bla...and Shireen still insisted "..but we still need to go..." over and over again. I was almost at my wit's end and was busy closing the windows when suddenly I heard you say "It's ok Shireen, it's ok, we can go later." I was sweetly surprised and thankful and grateful that you understood that we really can't go to the playground at that time. Shireen kept quiet and turned on the TV. Thanks dear.  Good to have your support.

Bak told me that he was talking to you just before bedtime and you guys were going through things that need to be done.
Step 1- we must brush teeth
Step 2 - we must sleep

Step 3 - we must wake up

and so on and so forth and then suddenly you got to step 10 maybe and you said "We must recycle!". Aahhh..Mama is so proud. Yes, we must recycle! Reduce, reuse & recycle baby!
