Anne's Dictionary

Anne is now 2 years and 4 months old. At this time, these are her milestones:

  • she can now count 1 to 20 in English and 1 to 10 in Mandarin
  • she can now sing the alphabet song and can identify some letters as well
  • she can identify some colors - blue, red, yellow, green
  • she can identify some shapes - circle, triangle
  • she can identify left and right hands, feet
  • she can remove her socks by herself
  • she can undress by herself
  • she keeps her toy sometimes (without being told to do so)
  • she can now clearly say some words and phrases in English and Mandarin, and her favorite phrase nowadays is "don't like!" or "bu yao!". Most times I regretted teaching her this, lol.
However, there are some words/phrases which she has difficulty pronouncing. Here are some of them and what she really means by them:
  • ki me - excuse me
  • tababat - take a bath
  • tebabak - put it back
  • lab ooh - love you
  • wah fu face - wash your face
  • praisen - praise him
