For
months Taikun has been following a routine in the night before bedtime: brushing
teeth, and bathing, watching Jagainukun, and storytelling on bed. In recent
week after moving to the new place, thanks to a much-improved bathroom, we
accumulate water in the bathtub for him to play. He was given a yellow duck as
a toy.
Tonight,
when skypeing with grandma around the time of 9:30pm, we proposed to him to go
upstairs to have a bath. Of course, he refused, “Bo lang ga goa chitt-toh.
(Nobody playing with me).” Intrigued by
his response, T proposed to him that we (both T and I) will play the yellow
duck with him.
He
recognized our trick, retorting in Mandarin: “Okay I will play the little
yellow duck, but I don’t want to take the bath.”
T
lamented that it’s getting harder to harder to trick him into obedience.

[Intell.
development] Now Taikun can connect connect a situation in a storytelling to
his real life in order to win applause from the family. During the storytelling
of ho-go-bo (Tiger Aunt) by A, Taikun reacted in Mandarin: I’d like to kick/
get ho-go-bo out. Papa and mama then will be happy.
