Rain Rain Go Away

8-Mar-2008 - friday night on our way to tesco after having dinner at Nai Nai place.
It was rain heavily seeing thru the car window, I suddenly think of sang Vernon boy the song - "Rain rain go away"
Vernon want me to sing him this song (repeated twice). He just sit on your car seat quietly listening and tried to follow me to sing the song.

" Rain, rain, go away"

On Saturday evening, after we had dinner at ah mah house and watch the result of voting. On our way home, the rain was so heavy. Then Vernon suddenly sing the song - Rain rain go away, baby Vernon want to play (off course the wording still not very clear) so we tried to help him and find tune of the words.

Magic Words

2 Weeks Ago - I talked to james that how to help Vernon to say the polite words when he want something and after he get something.
So we think a perfect way to hint him to say those words else he will not get what he want.
what is that???
Everynow and then we will hint him by telling what is the "magic words" when u ask mommy to get u the books?
He then will straight away tell us : Mommy books please.
and if his kakak bring him something, he now knew how to say "thank u"
Don't u think this is so great and perfect way of helping our kids to talk in the 禮貌 way. and eventually he will remember once he pick up.

Papa & Mommy's Name

7-Mar-2008 friday Vernon start able to tell his mommy & daddy's name : Hurray !!
When people ask : What is your papa's name in mandarin? he will tell u -->papajames
When people ask : What is your papa's name in mandarin? he will tell u -->Mommylaysi (not say very clear yet)

Words More

8-Mar-2008 - Thursday night I had a company dinner, when i got home and meet Vernon.

Vernon : Mommy want apple
Mommy : U really want apple or orange?
Vernon : Never mind..
Mommy : I laugh and took an apple from the fridge for him and told him to bring the apple to kakak to cut it into 4 for him.
Vernon : Quickly ran to kakak whom is in the kitchen to cut the apple for him.

Now Vernon's capability of learning new words is so strong, he sometimes even can mix english, malay words together. Like the other day he told me : Vernon masuk leg under pillow.
and Mommy's books heavy (when he want to move his books from book shelf to his reading table)
