Dylan and the phone

Last night, Dylan almost dunked my phone into a glass of water. Luckily I was watching else my phone would have been drowned. Anyway, today I think my phone cranks up. It's acting weird and probably suffering from stroke or something. It was all right but just half an hour ago, I can't boot up, only to see an apple on the screen for past 15min and then it came back to life!  Anyway, it's time to get a new phone!

This morning we woke up to a very excited Dylan, who managed to get hold of my phone, screaming "Ifon, ifon!" 5min later, he came to me and said, "No more! Chak chak, cher cher" and handed the phone back to me. My Dylan decoder said, "No more, charge charge, xie xie"

Things that I don't do with my phone and kid#2 did it for me
1. add almost all my contacts into favorite
2. set timer and alarm at the odd-est hour
3. personalise ringing tone to most contacts
4. make overseas calls and also to my insurance agent!

The little loud one

Last week, I taught Dylan word by word, to say I want more apple, he does it with his version of 'sign' language
I          use his fingers to pinch lightly on his eyes
want    slouch forward, arms together
more    signs more correctly while saying it
apple    arms high up in the arm
and after saying all this, he would end with "Yay" and claps his hands

I have heard "Get the ball", "Kick the ball", "Look at that", "What is this", "I want apple, I want milk"

He is now able to name these when we point to the pictures/items
FISH, BIRD, DOG, CAT, COW
CRANE, TRUCK, MOTORCYCLE (he calls bike), TRAIN, BOAT, SHIP
Sometimes he would grab my index finger to say out loud objects to him

When asked what does lion says, his answer is, "Um!" while Shawn would add on, "No, not um, it's ROARRRR"

He was looking at my handphone with pictures from weekend's lunch. He saw YT's birthday cake and said, "Papa... Papa... cake... cake... happy... yay!" It wasn't continous and smooth but I figured he was trying to string them together.

I just can't explain's Dylan love for
1. char siew pau     3 at one go? Not the giant pau but regular char siew pau
2. apple                 would keep 100+ pcs of blocks into the toy box for the sake of one apple
3. football              my kid was screaming goal and clapping at Best Denki watching M'sia vs Sin match, while the players were just passing the ball at the pitch
