Conversation with Tyler

Speech was never Tyler's strong point and was classed as a case of "delayed speech development". But after going thru some speech therapy in the US when he was about 18 months, his speech improved tremendously and he eventually caught up by the time he was 2 yrs old.

He's not completely talking yet, but he's getting there. He's just missing all the prepositions at the moment and picking up new words everyday and almost enough to make a conversation work.

Here's a conversation we sorta had today. We were walking back from the park.

Tyler : My ride airplane (my = I)
Me : You want to ride airplane, Tyler?
Tyler : Yes, my ride airplane find Kong Kong
Me : Oh, do you miss Kong Kong?
Tyler : Yes, my sad too.  
Me : you're sad?
Tyler : yes, my wake up (he meant to say, when he woke up from his sleep, Kong Kong and Po po had left)

And he's got this "in the sky" thing going for him these last few days, where if you ask him where something was, this is how the conversation usually goes:

Me : Tyler, did you see Cody's pacifier?
Tyler : yes
Me : Where is it?
Tyler : sky! ( he points up too!)
Me : ???

When we were in the US, i spoke primarily in Mandarin to him just to make him bilingual and i think he is. But since we've been here, i've switched to English and when i speak to him in Mandarin, i can see him blanking out.. hmm.. better switch back soon, eh??
