New Words
Ah boy is learning new words. I'm proud to announce he can say the following words:
Mama, Papa, Ah pa, Ah ma, Apple, Banana (Be -na), Bao Bei, Baby, Ah bei, Bao Bao (Carry), Nan-nan (Milk), milk, mom mom (food)...
And when we show him picture of (red) peach, he insists it is apple, and flip to the apple page to show his ah ma. Is he smart? or stubborn? Refusing to learn the word "Peach" becoz it look like Apple! Or showing to his ah ma that it is Apple, not peach as what ah ma has pronounced...
I signed him up for the shishida school.. which my hb has jokingly claim as "eat-shit-da school". Hope he doesnt teach ah boy the wrong pronunciation! Anyway, the wait for him to admit is 6 - 8 MONTHS long. By then he properly aged 2+... wat a long wait? Studies has shown that their right brain learning skill will slow down fr age 3 onwards, so will it be too late to send him there by then?
