Isabel’s Speech - Update

Posted Sep 11 2008 3:51pm

Compared to Ian, Isabel is more willing to follow instructions when comes to speech. I always say, Ian only follows 20% of what we ask him to repeat saying. Isabel, on the other hand, follows 60-70%.

However, she is still stuck with single syllabus, and have some difficulties in double or triple syllabus. And she also cannot pronounce some words clearly.

‘Five!’ is always pronounced as ‘Pie!’
‘Koko’ (Brother) and ‘Kakak’ (sister) are always pronounced the same - at least we have difficulties to differentiate.

She can only say ‘Pen’ for ‘Open’, ‘ter’ for ‘water’, etc.

3 syllabus is the worst. When I asked her to say ‘I love you’, she won’t respond. When teched her one by one: “I” — followed “I”. “Love” — read as “Feh”. “You” — usually at this stage, she’d turn her head away, not willing to learn any more.

She likes to greet people. You can always hear her says “Hi”, usually after the person she greets leave the scene, maybe too shy? Or, occasionally you can hear her says “Hi” to strangers, at the time that you least expect her to do so. She particularly like to say ‘Hi’ to the guards of our apartment, though never been taught - maybe followed the brother.

Her favorite phase is “Bye Bye”. She says it to everyone, whenever I tell her it is time to go to bed or to have her ‘nen-nen’ (milk). In the morning, when I ask her whether she wants to go out, instead of saying ‘ah’ or ‘yes’, she turns and says ‘Bye Bye’ to the daddy. Whoever that she refuses to greet, she’d be willing to say “Bye Bye”.

She also likes to say “Ah” for “Yes”, always accompanied with a nod. She knows that is the meaning for ‘yes’, but sometimes she can be very confusing. For instance, when asked whether she has finished peeing, she says “Ah”. Then asked the question differently again, “do you still want to pee”, and she also says “Ah”. :)

Oh, whenever she says ‘Yes’ correctly, the tone of the ‘yes’ can really kill you - so feminine that can melt anyone’s heart. ‘Please’ is also heart melting. I think if she understands the meaning of ‘please’ and knows how to use it correctly, no body can resist her requests. :P
