"Why this Man So Stubborn?"


Livi constantly amazes us with her grasp of the English language. Here are just a few examples:

- Flipping thru a storybook recently, Livi suddenly asked "Why this man so stubborn?"

- On CNY 15th day, she saw the big round moon and went "Wow! It's so big! Lets take a picture!"

- Her ability to carry on a proper conversation with us is really entertaining, eg. "Can you remember where you went last night?"... "I went..."

- "I brought this to... " - note she used "brought" to refer to a past event.

- On other occasions: "I didn't..."... "I don't know..."... "2 pieces... "... "This is Mommy's phone..."

We get so tickled at times that we'll repeat the question, or ask her to repeat. If anything at all, I'd like to think her language skills has got something to do with BP reading to her everynight before bed, our habit of speaking to her using proper words and sentences and my singing nursery rhymes to her since she was a baby. And of course, God's blessing has been amazing too. Oh how we love Livi!!
