because...

Jay has been using a few new chinese words this week. I'll try to blog about them as I remember them.
Scene 1
Granny : Jay, are you still sick?
Jay. : yes
Granny : why are you having flu?
Jay. : because you did not give me medicine.
Granny : I don't have your flu medication here.
Jay. : ya lor. Because mommy did not bring here.
(when I arrived at Mil)
Jay. : mommy, why you did not bring my medicine here?
The story goes on....

Scene 2
Mom and dad went out, leaving them at granny. Its raining heavily.
Jay : oh no! Raining!
Granny : why?
Jay. : Papa cannot come to bring me home le.
(thinking for awhile)
Jay. : I have a suggestion.
Granny : suggestion?
Jay. : use umbrella! Then they can come home lor.

Ha ha ha....

Vocabulary of the week - because, suggestion (in chinese of course)

For his English... He is understanding and responding to simple questions.
Scene 1
On our way home,

Mommy : Jay, is ths our house?
Jay. : no
Mommy : is this our house?
Jay. : no.
Mommy : where is our house?
Jay. : there ( pointing to the right direction)
(in front of our house)
Mommy : is this our house?
Jay. : Yes! That's right! Yeah! Yeah!

Scene 2
Mommy : Jay, are you a boy?
Jay. : yes!
Mommy : are you my prince?
Jay. : no!
Mommy : You are my boy and also my prince. So, are you my prince?
Jay. : yes!

I just love his cute voice talking in English. He is learning to differentiate between chinese words and English. Since we are a multilingual family, I don't expect him to be as fluent as children from English speaking families but I wanted him to feel at ease with the use of English in daily conversations.
