New words

Our little chatterbox has learned quite a few new words recently....so here's an update on his 'sometimes not so accurate' vocabulary of spoken words.

Animals: dog-bark-woa woa, cat-meow, duck-ark ark, cow-moo, panda, skunk, bird-fly, baa-baa (sheep), ma (horse), crab, snake-ssss, bear, ger (tiger), pard (leopard), fish, bug, pig-orh orh & barney!

Family & people: mommy, papa, ma (ah-ma), gong (ah-gong), gu-gu, jie jie, kor kor, bao-bei (precious, which is himself)

Food: milk or neh-neh, nana (banana), papa (papaya), per (apple), grapes, cake (or for biscuit), mum mum (for food),

Body: hair, nose, eyes, mouth, back, bird (my mum taught him that for u noe where!)

Things in the house, chair, cup, clock, book, ball, shoes, pants

Others: bus, car, boat, truck, star, don't want, mei-you (don't have), hua (flower), good, bright bright, dark dark, purple, ger (triangle)

Things he can recognise but can't say: tree, head, ears, teeth, tongue, hands, fingers, legs, tummy, belly button, toes, monkey, piano, cloud, orange, strawberry, bed, table, fan, lizard, spider, light

We have been teaching him through pictures and sight all these while, so I think it's time to try alphabets n words. My first attempt using flash cards of animal names that he knows seemed quite positive, and he also showed interest in the alphabet mat which I laid out on the floor. It's a good start....so will try more words next weekend :)
