I was changing her diaper. She suddenly blurted : “Fish Ball!”<\/span>.
\nI was curious why she said that, I just guessed and said, “Zara thinks Zara’s toes look like fish ball is it?”<\/span>. I pointed to her toes.
\nZara looked at me (as though I was stupid), then started pointing her finger at her mouth while saying, “Mum mum *point point* (Chinese: eat), Fish ball.”<\/span>
\n(Tuyam said she does that very often, when she asked for something to eat, and Tuyam couldn’t understand her, she’ll point to her mouth and sign<\/a> to us, like we’re some bozos)<\/p>\n

This morning, while at play, she shouted, “<\/span>Mita Boo<\/span><\/a> (Mr Blue), where are you? Want suck tum (thumb)!” <\/span>
\n(She has the habit of sucking her thumb while holding her soft toy Mr Blue)<\/p>\n

While pushing her in the stroller yesterday, Zara counted, “For, fai, sik, sehwen, egg”<\/span> And repeated. Asked her to do from One, it will go something like “One, Egg, Ten.”<\/span> (She knows they are numbers but doesn’t know the sequence).<\/p>\n

Zara’s reciting the nursery rhyme Hey Diddle Diddle sounds like this:<\/p>\n

Diddle Diddle, Cat the fiddle, Cow oh the moon, spot, away spoon
\n<\/span>
\n(Actual, Hey Diddle Diddle, The Cat and the fiddle, The Cow Jumped over the moon, The Dog laughed to see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon)<\/p>\n
