The faces of Abbey

Abbey's favourite word is "No" (pronounced Noooooooo) and is the answer to almost any question, except for when you ask her whether she is cheeky then it is "Abbey cheeky"..... 

The defiant No look

The cheeky grin

 Abbey's inquisitiveness has also really kicked in ... not a day goes by when we won't hear her ask "Wot this?"

Miss Inquisitive

Her mastery of the English language is now getting quite proficient with a few words being strung together. Her Mandarin is not bad either and she will alternate between English and Mandarin. However, as most of us don't understand Mandarin or a very minimal amout she does get quite frustrated ..... One day she kept asking for the "woo quai" stamp on a drawing app on the iPad and when mummy did not respond after several requests she screamed out in English in a rather exasperated fashion "the turtle ..." Daddy cops it even worse because he does not understand any Mandarin and when he went to change her nappy she asked him to "sei pee guo " only to be met with a blank look and again in an exasperated voice it was "wash bottom Daddy!". Ahh the joys of being bilingual when those around you aren't !
