First 3 words



This cheeky little boy.

This picture was taken at Floria, Putrajaya.
Floria is a flower festival held once a year in malaysia. It's usually held at the end of August to coincide with our independence day.
It has flower arrangement exhibitions and also landscaping exhibition. This was the landscaping exhibition done by the federal territory of labuan. It wasnt particularly stunning, but the background included one of the futuristic looking bridges in Putrajaya.
It was raining and we had Izani put on his hat and this was one of the few moments he had kept it on.

Izani has started using 3 words in context.

Ayah
Which is what he calls Taufik, my husband, his father. I am jealous, but yes, this is his first word.
Everytime he hears the doorbell and the front door open and close, he'd run to the top of the stairs and yell down "Ayaaaaahhhhhh!!!!". Even if it is not his father at the door.
Whenever he is excited, he'd call out "Ayahhh!!" and point to whatever excites him.
Whenever he's bored, he'd call out "Ayahhh???" and expects someone, anyone to respond.
Whenever he's scared, he'd scream out "Ayahhh...!" and asks to be rescued.
SOmetimes he'd say "Ayah" but comes to me.
I guess that word represents an authority figure that will make everything in his world all right. And he is not far from the truth :)

No
Is it a suprise that his second word is "No"?
He uses this word in almost every opportunate moment.
When I take off his clothes for a bath. When I say it's time to get out of the bath. When I want to put his diapers on. When I'm trying to feed him his porridge.
And he says it with a weird teletubby-commentator accent. More like an elongated "Nnnoe" than a "No".

Wow
Ilham taught him this word.
The first time I heard it, we were wathcing something on TV and he pointed at the screen (I can't remember what it was) and he said "Wow!".
He says this everytime he sees something exciting or different. Or when he sees animals on TV.
Now I use it to distract him. Like when he instists on playing with the stick shift in the car, I hold him up to the window and point to things and say "wow" and he'd say "wow" and forget about the stick shift. For a while.

Do you remember your children's first words?
Ilham's and Ihsan's were "car". Anis's was .. hm.. I think it was "cat".
None of them learnt to say "Bonda" till they were a little older. I've been called "Bobo", "Bomba", "Dede" .. but it took a while to be called "Bonda". And now they can't stop calling me.
HA HA.
