we’re not sure where she picks up her seemingly sudden jump in vocabulary each day – we suspect it could be from her brother, whom she interacts with (and mimics) everyday, or from her teachers in school. i’d bet more on the former.
last night our conversations went something like this:
M: auni, which colour do you like? (playing with stacking rings)
A: i yike geen. (“i like green”)
M: eh? (amused but bewildered – i’d only mentioned ‘green’ in passing the day before when we played with another set of stacking rings at home, but didn’t think she internalised it or anything, gee i gotta be more careful what i say around her or whaaat…)
M: sayang mummy tak?
A: yes. i yike ami… i yike daddy… i yike babang… i yike ama… i yike bibik… i yike, err… babang…
M: O-o
M: is it nice? sedap?
A: (sipping on an iced drink) nice! dap!
M: (affecting a grimace to show feigned disgust) no lah! NOT NICE! yuks!
A: NICE!!
M: nooo, not niiiiiceeee.
A: NIIIICE! I YIKE!!
she is turning into – *gasp* – her brother.
but i do think the second child tends to develop speech at a generally faster rate, thanks to the elder sibling as model.
as for the other behaviours, i’m still, errm, crossing my fingers.

Hana,
Please! Please! Please! record what Auni says next time? like the S-A-L-L-Y episode!
So cute….buey tahan lor! Thank you hor! :)
i tried but it’s H-A-R-D. i think i may have to pay her.
Eh I believe in your 2nd last sentence! But I also believe that girls tend to develop faster! Heheh
hmm, you got a point there. (biased since we’re girls too, hehe.)
alamak! cutenyer auni nih!!! yup, girls develop faster than boys and thanks to abg aniq too.
pandai dia ajar adik dia eh :) and rambot auni dah semakin lebat, yes?
Auni….I also YIKE your entry! LOL…
Oh and I bet Auni’s turning into a tuitee of Aniq! But utter cuteness, Hana!
boys develop slower? yes tats what the experts says too. But most of the boys in my gal’s class talks really well too. So hmmm, think it really depends on the exposure hor. My 3 yr old’s nephew’s used of vocabulary is like wow!! and he’s the only child and just started pre-sch :)
I “yike” d fact tat u’re writing more often now. Simple but with a dash of reality,humor & sarcasm, it’s entertaining! Thumbs up! :)
i love love love this pic!
(and yes it’s 5am now. cannot sleep ah.)
hahaha….
my daughter also very fast…fast at crawling, walking, eating solid foods, climbing on everything, jumping, dragging the heavy chairs to the restricted corners for her to climb…and recently, talking and singing + dancing.
i tell u….she is into princess mode…from head to toe…
and my son is into thomas and his friends mode….head to toe to every corner of my house.
anyway, tt day, we were at the 498 playground, n i saw aniq…
yup.my son wanted to slide down on the slide tt aniq n his older friend were using to slide down metal cars…and he didn’t know what to do, looked at me and said ‘eh..ada budak kecik nie lah!’
lol…i told him ‘wait a second, to let my son down’…after which, he and his friends moved on to the curly curly slide.
