Jiak...

Daryl knows how to say the word "Jiak" which means peekaboo in English. I discovered it during his evening bath time today.

He was being a notti boy as usual coz he didn't want to go into our room to prepare for his evening bath. Thus I told Asty to prepare his bath 1st while I carried him into our room. I decided to make it fun for him by getting Asty to play peekaboo with him. Asty hid in our room 1st. When we reached, Asty jumped out & said "Jiak". Daryl laughed heartily. I put him down on the floor & told him to find Kaka. He then walked into our room to look for Asty. As Asty was hiding in the bathroom, Daryl couldn't find her. Do you know what he did next? He ran & hid in the space between his cot & the bedroom wall. When Asty went looking for him, she called, "Daryl, where are you? I cannot see you..." The cheeky boy actually jumped out of his hiding place & went, "Jiak" with a big smile on his face.

When we saw that, the both of us cracked up. Later, I found out from Asty that it was the 1st time that he actually said the word! I was so happy to witness it.
