Previously, when I ask him to say things such as "thank you"and "please", he would just ignore me totally and only said those things whenever he liked. These days, it's like when you push the "say" button, he will say it for you. Sometimes he understands what you ask him to repeat, but there are still times when he just simply repeating. I can see that his pronunciation is not yet perfect but at times he does put in the effort in trying to say them more correctly. I would request him to give me a "mami bao bao" before I pick him up. He says it every time when I ask him now. Next step, I'd love to hear him say all those things he know voluntarily without me pushing the button any more!
I have been concerned with didi's speech progress, but may be it is just like what my helper has told me, his talking days is "coming soon". Yeah, hopefully. I am imagining this voice of a movie trailer guy in my head saying: " A talking kid, in a home near you this Christmas!"
On another note, didi is a not big fan of "holding hands" when we walk on the street. These days, I could get at least 5 minutes of "holding hand" time with him when we go out. That was something I longed for before and now it's like a dream come true!
Disneyland felt very magical with the lights and snow!
