Endless Talking

Yena talks a lot these days. The other night, while I was cooking our dinner she called me and showed her book of lambs and said, BABOY (pig). I told her, No It’s lamb. She answered me back, MOMMY BABOY KA (mom you are a pig). I was laughing and asked her, Sinong Baboy? She replied BABOY DADDY.

Last night, I read her the story of Christmas twice and I was like a broken record already. So I told her to read the story for me, she pointed at the pictures and said ERI, OTEP, ISAS (Mary, Joseph, Jesus) UTOM (GUTOM).. AIN (KAIN) while laughing I asked her what’s next and she replied UWA (TUWA). I don’t know where she got that story line. But there was a line in the book that says Mary and Joseph was tired in Betlehem.. Maybe she thought that being tired is like being hungry.

When we were at Coron Airport waiting for our plane for almost six hours we stayed at a nearby cottage near the souvenir shops. I saw a little kid snob Yena. Yena saw that too and she told me, MOMMY BATA AWAY YUN (the kid snobs me, she likes a fight). After awhile the kid came back and gave Yena a polvoron. Yena smiled and said TENCHU (thank you). After the kid went away Yena told me, MOMMY BATA BAIT (the kid is kind mom). That was her first ever clear sentences I have heard from her. While eating her polvoron at the airport she would say, MOMMY BIGAY BATA BAIT (the kid was nice she gave me polvoron).

Every time there would be a fight between her and her cousins she would warn them with these lines. SUMBONG MOMMY.. SUMBONG DADDY.. The other night when I was scolding her, she cried and said, MOMMY BAD SUMBONG DADDY (mom‘s bad I’ll tell dad).

I have a very talkative 21 months old toddler I know and I love it!How about you? Does your toddler talk too much too?
