Estella: Many, many strings of words...

I need to blog this... lest I forget... Is it to do with my memory? I am just trying very hard to celebrate the milestones of our 2 darlings!

At 32 months, Estella has many, many strings of words that really amazed me! Getting chattier than ever! When did I discover this? During her morning poo-time yesterday. While waiting with her, she was narrating her world to me... Telling me about her "going to school later"; "daddy fetch"; "cannot watch tv now... not now; can watch tonight, OK?"... she wants to "wear flower shoes" and "not yun shoes"... "Estella button her uniform"... "shower, wash body only; don't want to shampoo"..."eat peanut sandwich in car"... "little bit, not too much"... "mama stay here, with mei mei"... "mei mei small, cannot go to school yet"... yada yada..

Of course, many of these are what we have told her. Now it's her turn to articulate, which means she has internalised them! Melts my heart especially when she remembers the lessons learnt (esp those out of her Notti Corner).

Last Friday, she surprised Uncle Melvin by telling him "I have runny nose, cough and phlegm...". Well, Uncle Melvin just looked at John unbelievably! Of course, while waiting for her turn, John also rehearsed with her how she can narrate her symptoms to the doctor...

(Ha ha... when I told Ah Yee the incident, she went "Star can say PHLEGM!!???)
