Mummy's Musings - More Linguistic Skills!! 25th Jan 2010

Today was a day of a linguistic EXPLOSION!

In the school carpark, she said she wanted to see the drivers in the 'driver's room'. She told me she wanted to tell them "Selamat Pagi!" So we went to the room and lo and behold she said so loudly and surely, " SELAMAT PAGI PAK-CHICKS!!"

Midway during school I took her out and We went to the Orthopaedic Surgeon to check on Cahaya's foot. She was very excited to see him and kept asking what the Dr's name was. She pronounced it perfectly but VERY LOUDLY! " Hello DR GOBINDER!!!" She very proudly announced to him, "My foot's NOT broken anymore. It's FIXED!".

When we got in the car, she very sweetly told me, "Thank you Mummy for taking me to see the Doctor. Thank you Mummy for my Check-Up!" awwwwww

Then she asked where were we going. I said back to school. Then Cahaya said, " I don't wanna go back to school Mummy! I wanna go to the ice cream shop to have my purple and pink" . I told her there was a party at school and we have to go back and she says, " VAMONOS!! Let's GO!!"

When we got home and were having a bath, she told me while I tried to brush hr teeth , " Mummy, don't hold my chin okay? and brush even soffer ( softer ) ok? Eeeeven soffer!"

These moments make me so happy and so sad at the same time. The inability to capture them on video and the knowing that this moment has passed, never to be repeated. Childhood is sooo short and it's so fleeting... Catch it while you can!

I just can't help wanting to hug the python! He's so cute! ( Sorry Grandpa!! I couldn't resist! )



We were sooo lucky, a butterfly took a liking to me and followed me all through the Butterfly Sanctuary in the zoo! He was a bit ticklish at times though!

Mum's Musings - Linguistic Gems Jan '10

While trying to brush Cahaya's teeth and having a hard time getting her to cooperate, she shouts - "NO Mummy, let ME do it! Why do you want me to SUFFER??" :-)

While playing with our guppies, Cahaya hands me a net and says, "Mummy you get the alive one, I get the died one!" ( Ugh )

While helping me to prepare the dogs food, she asks me if she can try it. I kid around saying OK. And she takes a mouthful! Then she looks at me with horror and says " OH it's TOO yucky!"

After getting a telling off for something, ( who can even keep track anymore ) Cahaya puts her arms on her waist and says, "Mummy! Don't scold me! I'm too LITTLE!".

To Buffy the dog who is trying to get past Cahaya, she says, "Excuse me Buffy. Wait your turn okay? wait your turn! "

After pick up from school on Wednesday, she said, "Mummy, No more school okay? I wanna take the school, and THROW it!" So, i asked "Throw it where?" , Cahaya says, "To the Island!" so I asked, "which island?", and the answer was - " Barney's Imagination Island!!"

Driving by a green lung, Cahaya comments that , "It's a jungle Mummy". I say "yes it is darling". Cahaya says, "what's inside the jungle?". I say, "Monkeys and birds and snakes ..." Cahaya says, "Cahaya wanna go in it.", I say "OK". Cahaya says - "Mummy Cahaya get lost in the jungle, Cahaya so scared ( with mock fear and arms hugging herself too ) will Mummy come find me? Mummy come rescue me? " . I say "Of course Mummy will come look for you darling!" - and with this she appeared satisfied and ended the jungle subject. Phew.
