The "Yes" boy

For the longest time, all Sean said was "No!"

with a smattering of words here and there. So we told him, if he couldn't say 'Yes', he can say 'Ya'. So at least we could get him to agree to something. =P

Since about 2-3 weeks ago, a switch must have suddenly clicked in his brain, because out of a sudden, he became the 'Yes' boy. He replies everything with a 'Yes!', with an emphasis for the 'ssssss.....'. He even replies 'yes' when he means 'No'. *Roll eyes*... he he he...

During these last few weeks, he's been making progress in his speech by leaps and bounds. After waiting for the longest time for him to get onto 2-words phrase or just even 2-syllable words, it's all coming out now. He's even trying to sing along the theme songs on TV, but he can only get the last word in every sentence. His current favorite song to sing along is "Old McDonald", with the "iyayo", and all the animals sounds.

But what I'm probably happiest about is that he's finally calling me 'Mummy"! For the longest time, all the called me was "Mum", which is fine too. But his calling me "Mummy" is particularly sweet to the ears, especially when it accompanies lots of hugs and kisses. =D

isn't the sound of the little angel calling us mommy, mama, ever so endearing :)

Yeah. Now that he can say 'Mummy', he goes 'mummy mummy mummy mummy?' I say 'Yes?' Then he goes 'mummy mummy mummy mummy.'

I think he enjoys just rolling it off this tongue too. It's great to be so loved! =D
