J Can't Stop Talking

CA wants me to keep a record of what J is saying.

Which is very hard when she says new things all the time.

Yesterday, she spoke her first words in Mandarin.

She managed all these without hesitation: ba ba, ma ma, ge ge, jie jie, di di, mei mei.

And here's the best one: she can say ni hao - very clearly too!

I am absolutely thrilled that my Aussie-born offspring can speak Mandarin at all.

She can also say: apple, ball, hug (and stretch out her arms), pain (and point to her head or whichever part she's injured), kiss, Bob (for Bob The Builder), clock, watch, car, duck, plane...

She can give a high-five, do the Head and Shoulders song, Mr Knickerbocker, and the Wiggles's Everybody Clap song.
