From Bs to Ws...

Kaelyn has progressed in her range of vocabulary.

Several months back when she first started to talk, her vocab was restricted to words beginning with Bs.

Bird, Ball, Baby, Back (means to put things back), Bao bao (to carry her), and of course her all time favourite even till now - Bu Yao Bu Yao (dont want)

Now she seems to take a liking for all things W..

Wet wet - used when she spilled (or rather intentionally poured) water on the floor, or when she wets herself sometimes.

Why - used when we asked her to do something or do something for her which she doesnt like. E.g. 'Kaelyn wear your socks, we are going out'. Refuses to wear her socks and screams 'WHYYYYY'!

Walk walk - used when she wants to go out. She will pull your arms / clothes etc and point to her shoes and door. Sometines also used in pretend play. E.g. she carries a basket in her arms and when we ask her where she is going, she replies 'walk walk'.

Wum (means I want) - used to indicate her preferences and demands. e.g. 'Kaelyn do you want to eat bread?' To which she replies 'I wum.'

Wait - used by us when we asks her to wait while we get her food / water / toys etc. Most of the time she will obey and repeats what we told her. 'Wait!' with the hand action.

What - used randomly, sometimes when she is angry or throwing tantrums.

I wonder what alphabet will be next..
