New Skill

Rafa has a new skill:  he can "utot" (fart) at will.  He looks really funny trying to get the "utot" out.

Hotel Sleepovers

Rafa likes staying at hotels.  Whenever we have a sleepover, he would beg us not to leave.

Itsie-Bitsie Spidering

Rafa lying on top of Mum,
Mum was tickling Rafa.

Rafa: Don't tickle me Mum! (laughing)
Mum : I'm not tickling you! (denying)
Rafa: You're not ticke-wing me,
you're just itsie-bitsie spidering me!

Lucky For You-- You Know Rafael!

When we told him that we'll watch Rio on TV, he immediately picked out who he'll be.  He picked the black/white toucan named Rafael without knowing that the toucan's name is Rafael.  He thought we were pulling his leg when we told him that the name of the bird is Rafael.  He would say "No, I'm not Rafael.  What's my name?" So we christened the toucan "Murano".  But we tried to "show" him that the toucan's name is Rafael.  We played and replayed the part where the toucan said "Lucky for you, you know Rafael!" But instead of believing us, hearing his "real"  name (real life name) mentioned by "him" (the toucan Rafael) was too amusing for him. He'd laugh out loud and this line had become his favorite Rio line.

So whenever we ask him, "what did Murano say?"
He will say "Lucky for you, you know Rafael!"

Sometimes, he'd say "Murano said 'lucky for you, you know Rafael' and I laugh-ted! Hahahaha."

To see the clip from Rio, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK6SkBbFepA.  Rafa's favorite line appears within 0:09 seconds into the clip.

Indeed, we are lucky because we know you, Rafael!

He Only Speaks The Truth

Mum : Who's Pogi?

Rafa  : I am

Mum : Who's beautiful?

Rafa  : Mummy

Mum : Who's cute

Rafa  : I'm chute also

Close The Mouth Too!

Tonight, we're in bed early. Rafa finished his dinner so he had iced lolly as prize. Naddy threw in another prize for drinking his milk really fast. We're in a happy mood. So naturally, the Silvannas Prince kept talking while lying in his bed.

Mum : "Time to sleep. Close your eyes now "
Rafa: "How about the mouth?"
Mum : "Yes, eyes and mouth."

How could I have forgotten the mouth?

Singular-Plural

"When there's only one animal, you say ANIMAL.  When there's many animals, you say ANIMALS"

Most of the time he knows how to use singular-plural words correctly and past-present-future tenses correctly. But sometimes, he also gets things mixed up.  For example:

"If there's one people, you say PEOPLE.  If there's many people, you say PEOPLES."

"He was funny and I laugh-ted!"

We correct him and then he will say the same thing again and will laugh.  And we all laugh-ted!
