Parrot Ace

Ace can now say alot of new words and is learning more new words everyday. Other than single syllabus, he has also started to say two or three syllabus words as well. Just the other day, he learnt the words "Superman" and "Abundance" from Daddy...

But I think this is because Ace is starting to parrot whatever we say. When you talk to Ace, very often he will parrot back the last two words that he hears.

My favourite game now is to ask him, "hao bu hao?" And hear him say "hao!"

Very shiok to hear him say tat. Suddenly you feel that Ace is sooooooooooo co-operative. I mean.. ace is good natured but not always co-operative.. especially now that his favourite phrase is "No no no no no..." so this is really a welcomed moment when he agrees..

Just to disturb him, I asked him the following...



So you see, no matter what you want him to choose, just give him two options and put it as the second option. Eg my mother in law likes to ask him, "Do you want didi or meimei?" and wait for him to say "Mei mei" and then after that, ask him again, "Do you want meimei or didi?" and wait for him to say "didi"...

Do not think that he does not understand what he is saying though.

Eg, if you are at a situation where you need him to co-operate, you just need to explain to him why he needs to co-operate with you and ask him, "hao bu hao?" and if he says, "Hao.." you shake hands with him to seal the agreement and he will follow whatever you agreed on.

However, if he does not like the idea, he will NEVER say "Hao" in the first place ;) clever or not??:P
