Last week, Chloe learned to call "Bho4" to address both of her aunts.
"Ah-Bho" is 姑姑 in Hainanese.
Yesterday, Chloe surprised me and hubby by saying "Bao4"
while opening her arms wanting to be carried.
I'm impressed, because none of us actually 'taught' her to say "Bao".
In fact we're trying to teach her "Xie Xie 谢谢" at the moment.
No luck so far.
