This week has been quite boring for San and me. We're struggling with runny noses and a stupid cough again. And it happened the same day, same time... and we're almost at the same stage of common cold. Amusing, isn't it? :-) San is missing her friends and play-dates. I too am!
I gave her some lukewarm water today, afraid that she'd find out that something's different. She took a sip and looked at me from the corner of her eye. "Mommy, honey?", she asked. "No, it's just water.", I replied. She took another sip. "Mommy, hot water?", she asked. "No, it's just plain water.", I said. She gave me the I-know-what-you-did look and took some more sips. Phew!
Here's another recent development, courtesy her School. San has started to say a couple of words in a great American accent... mostly, the words that start with 'C' and 'P'. Papa dear keeps pulling her back to a neutral accent, but then it's not gonna work. :-D
I've noticed that all parents, especially the Mommies, like to see their kids talk with an accent. It's almost like a milestone! A Mommy even told me that she wants to put her daughter in school only to see her talk with an accent, so that she can show it off back home. Hoho! Funny thoughts! I don't care till the time she's talking and talking good. :-)
"Stop that." "Don't do that." "No, it's mine." These are San's current favorite phrases. Quite rude, but she can't help it!
