Enna-Marie talking, talking and talking...

Here are some of the things our dear Enna-Marie is saying these days:

at dinner time
EM: "Enna eating, Mama eating, Papa eating"...
EM: "Lekker!" (delicious!)
EM: "Put it there!" (referring either to her glass, spoon or food)

at breakfast
EM: "Juice please Mama" or "appelsap please Mama"...

inside the car
EM: "Mama sitting, Enna sitting, Papa sitting"...

at the car park just outside the building of our house
Mama: "Saan ang auto ni Papa?" (Where is Papa's auto?)
EM: "There it is...Papa auto!" or she also says "there, auto ni Papa!"...

while visiting baby Ariana, she saw her crib and hanging toys
EM: "Enna's toys" (pointing to the toys)..."Enna's bed" (pointing to the crib)..."baby sleeping"... she also says "bed ni Enna" when she sees her bed at home

the three of us about to go out the house
EM: "Mama coming??"

when she falls or gets hurt
EM: "Enna wawa" (pointing to the wound or the area that got hurt) or "Mama...pain!" or sometimes she says in Tagalog "Enna's sugat" (Enna's wound)

when she needs help from us like her toy got stuck
EM: "Mama..."
Mama: "Yes sweetie..."
EM: "Helpen Mama"...

when we ask her where are her cousins
Papa: "Waar is Minou...Waar is Nadim...??"
EM: "Holland"...

when changing diaper, she says "diaper ni Enna" followed by "pippi" (or "wiwi")...or "poopu!"...she knows that she just did either of these.

when she's asked to count her fingers
EM: "een, twee, drie, vier, vijf"...
Yes, she can count until five in Dutch. She still needs to improve her English and Tagalog counting.

Recently Enna-Marie started saying "my" or "mine", sometimes when we talk about toys she says "mine", meaning those toys are hers, or when we are in the living room at home she would say "mine" to the area where Mama usually sits.
