Vocabulary

She can read a little bit over 100 Chinese characters. We did not teach her any English before she went to daycare. Here is the list of English words she picked up since she started daycare a month ago:

NO, yeah, nice, bubble, pillow, water, mommy, bagel, diaper, pull-ups, more, pee pee, poo poo, slide, swing, hi and bye.

one phrase: no more

Funny notes:
1. One day last week we were very surprised to hear her yelling at us "No, no, no, no!". Before that, she always said "Bu" -- No in Chinese.
2. When she cries, she is crying for "Mommy", but she is not looking for her mom. My guess is she does not what "Mommy" is, just learned from other kids in the daycare when they cry.
3. Her favorite song now is "ABCDEFG...", but she doesn't remember all the lyrics, so she repeats "ABCD" over and over again.
4. I change the lyrics from "ABCD" to "no more no more", and force her to sing along with me when she wants more juice but she already had enough :)
