Sean-isms

Sean is becoming more "mak nenek" these days. He can really chatter away! Lately, he's taken to changing the lyrics of songs he loves to sing. An example - the song "God Is So Good". He's been singing the song with the thumbs up action and then one day decided that thumbs up also means "best". So now, he sings "God Is So Best!"

He speaks like a typical Malaysian, complete with "la" and "alamak". Sometimes I think we should've trained him to speak "proper" English - minus the colloquialism - but, ah well, too late!

Y'know how we adults sometimes spell words out when we don't want kids to understand our conversation. Just the other day, my mum wanted to ask me if I had any cheese left. Now, Sean loves cheese and can eat many pieces a day. She didn't want him to start asking for cheese so she asked if I had any "C-H-E-E-S-E "left. Before I could answer, Sean chipped in, "H-I-J-J!" The cheeky little feller just wanted to imitate his por por - she spell, he spells too!

A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to grab Sean and kiss him. He didn't let me. When I teased him with, "You don't let mummy kiss you ar?", he cheekily replied, "so sad!"

Below's a recent photo of Sean astride his wooden horse, Napoleon.
