Just to note down some of Mal’s vocabulary now…
don’t want bath
don’t want wash butt
Mummy why (when he can’t find Mummy, actually should be ‘Mummy where’)
light off (when he means ‘light on’)
yakult
read book
run away (after bathing…when we try to dress him…he will try to play catching with us!)
Here is one of our frequent conversation during shopping…hahah…this one really amazes me…cos none of us teach him to say all these! The 1st time I heard this…I thought I heard wrongly!
mal : mummy buy…
mummy : use what to buy ?
mal : use monis…
mummy : mummy has no money…
mal : use daddy monis…
Mal can repeat after most words we say now…recently at the garage sales…Mummy spent 10 cents to get a very good book for him. It is a book on manners. Mal likes the book very much. Now he knows how to
wash hands before eating… (only when mummy reminds him)
say Sorry…
say Please and may I…
say Thank you…
share and take turn… (still trying to convince him)
keep his toys after playing… (only sometimes…)
Monday to Sunday… (but he can only remember Monday and Sunday 
and remember the alphabet jigsaw puzzles….he can recognise and name out almost all the icons representing each letter. Just last night I was playing the puzzle with him…and was amazed when he could tell me which are the icons when I say their names…I was thinking…was it his memory at work?? We don’t always go through the puzzle with him so since when did he start absorbing all the names ??? Another funny thing happened…we came to the letter I…Iron…and he can tell me ‘mummy iron..burn…hole….’ cos the other day…he saw me iron this blouse and burnt through the blouse!!! hahaha
He still can’t get his ABC…only can remember A
his new favourite book…What Do You Say When a Monkey Acts This Way
his alphabet jig saw puzzle

he is getting really smart……proper English daddy and mummy! And time for mandarin lessons too…….
duno whether is he that smart or not. as for proper English…will try but I think very difficult cos u know wat’s Mummy english standard la…just like yours! Was thinking to leave the mandarin to ?? and ??
aiyah.forgot my password neh..
Maybe our English so jia liat..that’s why we think proper english is more important than ever. Cos both our mum & dad cannot speak english..then our mandarin also half ass?? so betta get one language in good stead first..haha cannot be like yee-yees & mummy..
this is left by Uncle Jon: Ever thot of having mal mal model professionally ?
