Conversations with the Princess

Sandy talks a lot. She never ceases to amaze me on how she can put her sentences together.

While watching barney
---------------------------------------------
kids singing from the tv: wiggle waggle giggle gaggle wo ho ho when you're feeling happy.....
sandy: (with matching kick in the air) let it show!

after seeing the kids wash their hands
sandy: mama! (giggling) wash your hands?

looking around the room
sandy: mama? no more papa! papa opis?

Whenever her lola comes home
---------------------------------------
sandy: wowa, emove shoes (remove shoes)
sandy: wowa, change dress

to the househelp
sandy: ate ging, massage wowa's feet

She also loves to sing
--------------------------------
Her voice is sooooo cute

sandy: tinkle tinkle little ....
mama: twinkle twinkle little ... ?

sandy: sta...r

sandy: haway ande ...
mama: how i wonder what you ...

sandy: are!

sandy: apabab ....
mama: up above the world so ......?

sandy: high

mama: like a diamond in the?

sandy: sky

We used to ask Sandy questions that has a definite yes answer to teach her the difference between yes and no. (ex: do you like cake? do you like juice? do you wanna go outside?)

I think she mastered it when one afternoon, she saw one of the helpers getting ice cream and probably wondered why we didn't ask her if she wanted any. We went upstairs and I heard her talking to herself.

Here's what she was saying
--------------------------------
sandy: sandy? want ay kim?
(after a long pause)
sandy: ...... yes!

again in a louder voice, hoping that mommy will hear

sandy: sandy!! want ay kim??
(after a long pause)
sandy: ...... yes!! (looking at my face this time lol)

Kawawa naman hehe.

I know she's unsure of what she's about to say whenever I hear her whisper the words slowly as if practicing.
sandy: mama, put.......on...put....on.....put...it....
(after practicing for 5-8 secs)
sandy: mama, put it on!

sandy: go..to....go...to...wowa.....
sandy: mama! go to wowa's room!

Praying
------------------
While teaching her the sign of the cross

mama: in the name of the father, and of the son
sandy: oly, spirit, amen!

Her ABCs
--------------------
She doesn't know the difference between the letters. When asked about the letter A,

mama: sandy, what letter is this? (holding the A card)
sandy: A!
mama: good job!
sandy: B! C! D! E!

wahhhh

mama: sandy, what letter is this? (holding W)
sandy: dabolyu
mama: yehey!!
sandy: eks! way! zii! (X,Y,Z)

kweng kweng

Just last night
-------------------------------
Her ninong gave her a cupcake but it was already bedtime so I told her she can eat it tomorrow.

sandy: (in a very sweet voice): mama? eat this now.

She saw her hi-5 dvd, opened it and saw that it was empty
sandy:(in a big surprised voice): no cd!

She also knows tagalog of course
----------------------------------
sandy: (while playing with her fingers, trying to form a circle using her forefinger and middle finger) mama!
mama: yes...
sandy: mama!!
mama: yes, I can see that. good job!
sandy: (frustrated) ganunin mo!!!!

It turned out she wanted me to do the same thing bwahahaha.

Sandy hit her elbow while playing.
sandy: sakit!
mama: wawa baby! where?
sandy: mama nasaktan?

It's just so amazing. They can't seem to stop crying months ago because we can't understand what they want to say, now they just can't stop talking.
