Dora: I Love My Papi - 活學活用


Last night, I was reading the book, "Dora the Explorer: I Love My Papi" to Natalie. The last 2 pages were as below:

At the end of every day, Papi tucks me into bed. Then we read book. I like books about animals.
Papi says, "I love my Dora!"
And I say, "I love my Papi!"

After finished reading the book, Natalie made comments:

Nat: Natalie 係媽咪陪"訓覺" ga. (means tuck her into bed)

Me: 係呀﹐媽咪晚晚都陪你"訓覺" ga la.

Nat (looking at me): I love my mommy!

(and gave me a hug, too)



This was so sweet. At the same time, I was thinking, "she's picking this up really fast, really 活學活用".


沖涼小軼事 [Bath]

This conversation happened when I helped Natalie taking a bath a couple weeks ago.
Natalie was sitting in the tub, the water was up to her belly button, so both of her legs were under the water. I put some soap on my hand and wanted to rub on her legs. I asked her to give me her right foot.
Me: 右腳 [right foot]
She gave me her left foot.
I wanted to make sure that she knew which side her right side is.
Me: 呢隻唔係右腳 wor﹐係左腳 wor. [This is not your right foot, it's your left foot]
Natalie: 唔緊要 la﹐洗左腳先 la. [It's ok, just wash my left foot first]
