More updates on speech

I have love and hate feeling when it comes to Joy's attempt to talk. I loved it when she is more willing to say anything, and most of the time are appropriate, related words. But I hate it when she said it so softly, that sometimes it sounds like whining. I hate whining! My children can cry on me, but they cannot whine. I could be patient, or hard (in a nice way) when they cry. But if they whine, I would explode. For now, I am trying my best to get used to Joy's whining, (which is far different from her brother's whining).

Anyway, looking at the bright side, she is talking! Though softly, she answers our questions and responded with both words, or body language (nods, shake, point). She is quick to say something if she thinks we are not giving it to her.

Some of her frequent words;
1. Yao (want), I want - (wo yao a)
2. Yao chi (want eat) - referring to either drink milk or eating
3. yao chu (want go)
4. shi (yes/ tv)
5. tie (stick)
6. dan (egg)
7. see you (this is truly English)
8. (go out) - not sure how to write this in pin yin
9. he (drink)
10. di di (brother) - when she wants something from her brother
11. reading A, C, E, G, O and sounding the phonetic sound of A, E, I, O, U
12. wa wa (doll)
13. jia (home)
14. zhou / zhou zhou (go / go walk)
15. bu yao (no)

#I just realized that I have chinese readers here, but forgive me for the poor pin yin. I talk in Chinese, but my reading and writing level is the same as my children. ( I learn with them)
