Pit-Pat Pit-Pat

Honestly! Where does time go! I can't believe that Kasper is really becoming a little boy.

Last week I counted 30+ words that he can say in various languages (Cantonese, Mandarin, English - I didn't count his sign language). He can understand a lot more than he can say. Here are some of the highlights.

• "Goo goo" of course, which usually means mushrooms but can also mean meat, or anything else he likes to eat. (Cantonese)
• "Nai Nai" = milk (Cantonese or Mandarin)
• "Bei Bei" = nose (Cantonese)
• "Tse Tse" = car (Cantonese or Mandarin)
• "Up" = up (English)
• "Mut mut" = sock (Cantonese)
• "Sek Sek" = kiss (Cantonese)
• "Cheese" = cheese (English)
• "Goo" = good (English)
  

And then, today, after a very busy morning, he fell asleep in the car. So instead of putting him in his bed, we put him in our bed for his afternoon nap. 2 hours later, while Ray and I are watching TV, we hear - the Pit-pat Pit-pat of feet and who should appear but our little boy, all bleary eyed and frowning. He had crawled out of bed himself and found us in the living room.

Tomorrow he starts his first day at Montessori. 2 1/2 hours every morning. We're hoping he'll pick up more Mandarin.

Sigh! Such a big boy!
