At 2 Years Old

This post came in 1 week late when Ern turned 2 years old last Sunday. Busy..busy..busy...
Anyway, it's never too late to write one now... * excuse*

At 2 Years Old:

Vital Stats:
Height: 90cm
Weight: 10.8kg

Development:
- Potty trained on her poo. She is now able to table us "Ng Ng". Either we will let her sit on her potty or directly on WC. On the wee part, sometimes she will tell us but most of the time, it's always "after-the-fact'. She would say "Mummy, shee shee". Now we just need to tell her to inform us BEFORE rather than AFTER.

- Sapu Car: In Hokkien, when you addressed someone as 'sapu car', means a person literally eat everything. You bet, Ern eats everything. She can even ate my spicy Char Koay Kak without showing any hot sign or request for water. She can take 'not so spicy' nasi lemak too. She just inherit Daddy's gene on this. Daddy is like Chili King!

- Speech: She started to form short sentences and we get to hear more two syllabus words coming out from her mouth.

- Trilingual: She is able to answer in the right language on the question you asked her.
English: Do you want XX? She answered: Want or Yes
Mandarin: Ni Yao Bu Yao XX? Her answer: Yao
Cantonese: Lei Aoi Ng Aoi XX? She answered: Aoi

- Manipulation: When we pretend angry over the things that she was prohibited to do, we told her off we are angry. She would walked up to her, hugged you dearly and said "soli" (sorry). After then, she would tickled you by saying "tickle, tickle, tickle" in a very fast way. So you get to hear the 'er' sound very clearly and also see her tongue rolled up!! It really melt everyone's heart but I told everyone in the family to 'remind' her over the wrong thing that she did.

- Sleep Independent Without Patting: After I weaned her off from pacifier, it took me a while to fully wean her off from patting her butt. After we received a blanket from Aunty CW, after trying for few nights, it worked!!! So, I can officially said Ern is able to sleep independent on her bed now. More details in my later blog.

- Counting 1-10: She is able to count 1 to 10 now. She can even point on the object and start counting. Next step is to teach her to recognize the numbers.

- Movie Buff: She enjoys watching her cartoon channel and if we switch it off half way the show, she would CRY. So, we need to 'negotiate' with her by telling her after this movie, we will need to turn off. Then, she is ok with it. She is able to say out some characters like "Bikey/ Biney" (Mic*key & Min*nie), Turmas (Thomas), Bob (this one very clearly), Jo Jo ( Jo Jo Circus) and Yo (Poco*yo)

- Dining Outside: Usually when we sit down on our table, Ern would asked for food "mum mum". After I told her she has to wait for uncle/aunty (the chef) to prepare, she would say : Okay, uncle cut cut cut!!". She can associated that with her mamasak set at home!
