in communicado

In the recent past, Binbin has been exercising his linguistic skills, especially during the time when family visited from LA. He used more and more words to express his urgent messages. Ronan, especially, was on the receiving end of Binbin's alerts:

An invitation to Ronan to come into his room: Ronan, 過來,過來! (...come here! come here!)

Again, to Ronan: Hey! Hey, Ronan, 不行。那是爸爸的tape! (...not permitted, that's baba's tape!)

Again, to Ronan: Hey! Ronan, 弟弟,好衛陷,不許上去! (...little brother, very dangerous, not allowed to go upstairs!)

To Auntie Debbie, who tried to caution Binbin not to slam the front doorscreen on Ronan's figures: Hey! 不要囉說!(...do not talk back!)


Binbin is also working on his command of the English language.

In the bathtub: ...washing windows! My soap!

While eating a new food for dinner: ...Binbin likes hot dogs!

Names for newly introduced foods: ginger ale, gummi bears

Imitating Mama's frustration with the fallen baseboard: oh-my-god!
