And her 1st two sentences are ...

So, the little imp has started speaking 2-word phrases for a few weeks now. Things like, "peaceee (please) mummy", "ang cute (thank you) mummy/kaka/daddy", "Elmo sleep/yest (rest)", "meemee sit/chorchor", "bus (brush) teeth", etc.. Naturally, we were wondering if her sentence-forming day could be any time soon and were eagerly anticipating it.

And so, it finally happened. Yesterday and today! Ancedotes to follow:

For the longest time now, she has turned into one of those iPad/iPhone kids who knows that these gadgets are their best video-churning friend and had always turned to her Daddy, thrusting the gadget into his hands, chanting "Daddiii Momo (Elmo)" and doing a little dance with her hands waving up and down (somewhat like the little dance Elmo does at the very beginning of every Elmo's world Video).

Yesterday was somewhat different. She picked up Hubs phone and tugging at Hubs' tee, said... "Daddii, I want to watch Elmo..."

Hubs threw me a look and asked, "Did you hear that??"
Me: "Yah... I think she said 'Daddy, want watch Elmo' right?"
Hubs: "NOO! she said a full sentence! She said 'Daddy I want to watch Elmo'!!"
Me: "No kidding?! You sure??"

Apparently her "I" and "to" was so soft I missed it but still, her first sentence, finally!

Today, as usual, I dropped by my in-laws to visit Ash (she's been down with a flu for a while now, another story for another day) and according to my SIL, Amanda, Ash said her 2nd sentence today.

In the afternoon, Amanda was trying to play with her while my MIL was taking a break. She sat down beside Ash and tried stroking Ash on the arm. According to her, it was a slight stroking that was supposed to warrant Ash's attention. Ash moved her arm away slowly and said, "Don't touch me..."! Paraphrased from Amanda's words (jokingly), "Wah! Made me so angry! Ask me not to touch her! Moved her hands away somemore"

And there you go, my baby Ash's two sentences! With me missing both of them. Aw shucks. Apparently, I wasn't the only one sore about missing the moments. I whatsapp-ed her favourite Da-gu (XY), who went to Dubai to work just a couple of days ago, about these moments and she exclaimed: "Wahhh! Must she talk so much only when I've just left?! Really...."

Hope to capture the 3rd sentence moment!
