First Words

We started Clayton in a Mandarin Reading Class couple of weeks ago. We believe in the potential of little minds.. even when they haven't fully learnt how to speak.

It is amazing and equally fun that Clayton understands 'good bye' (in Mandarin) now. His first word is 'Tou' (head) and it's cute when he attempts to say his name in Mandarin - Kai Zhe (it sounded like Kai Ke).

Lately, we've been trying to understand him. He's been mumbling the word, 'sell-boot' and we couldn't make out what he was trying to say.

One evening, while I was doing the usual flash card reading with him, he saw a boat and yelled out 'sell-boot'. That's it! He was trying to say 'sail boat'!

All thanks to the Baby Einstein 'On the Go' DVD he's been watching...
