‎This morning I noticed SoLer is playing toys with delayed echolalia:



with the...he said in 3 languages,

1. furniture toys(water closet) : he said, go 大便`da bian' (pass motion)*;
2. furniture toys(bed) : 走开`zou kai' (go away)/ 睡觉`shui jiao'（sleep);
3. toy car : no more/ `habis!' (finished) go home already!;
4. drives few dolls around, stop by places, got down & changed places : uh-oh..吓倒`xia dao'(shock)/ 怕怕`pa-pa'(frighten)/ go school already/go SPICES/go home..ph/go Titiwangsa(park)/go playground//we go..ou..home/eat medicine..en/wait!..for mommy's turn/we go back home/we go www/we go television,we go toys,we go 晒衣服`sai-yi-fu'(air dry laundary)....(there are more sounds which i couldn't understand what they meant)

5.put his finger nail to doll's mouth: ah..open...ah..大大口`da-da-kou'(full mounth)/没刷牙`mei-shua-ya(not brush teeth), 臭臭`chou-chou'(stink)
6.keep..SoLer..keep/

p/s I don't know when did he pick-up pretend play. I used to complain, he almost doesn't `play' with toys/with people/even on his own...now when he `drives' the cars from room to room, he makes`vroom..vroom...'sound.:) but i noticed, the play are in a same routine, repetitive pattern, ie. go to same sport, drop down same doll, said the same thing, then repeat...more investigation to go

受乐弄跌电话时，我试他的华语：`噢！跌了！'（他拾起来。），`线拿起来！'（他捡起来，放在桌上），我大喜，称赞他。（他脸上微微露出信心的微笑）

SoLer accidentally knocked down the phone, I said, `uh-oh!' (he turned to me & picked-up the phone)

I requested, `pick-up the cord,' (he look at me & picked-up), I was amazed he'd understand mandarin, i praised him wholeheartedly, he watched me, I see a confidence smile!

I was exciting!
My heart was pumping in and out of my chest!
I felt like want to dash like a rocket, from top right corner to bottom left corner!
I felt like I want to thrust my arms & legs & neck & hair to different directions!
I wanted to shout out my lung.
I wanted to cry out loud.
I laugh frantically!
I love him SOooo MUCH! So Ler could communicates with me!

..this evening, after work, me & the 2 children went Jusco for vcd...
He was hitting me & shaking my arm vigorously. I was annoyed, it hurts! But suddenly,.... I realized he may be trying to tell me something, so I pause & asked, he said faintly, `I want game' (at Jusco,the amusement park, token machine)...I told him, `..not today, we go home watch `Magical school bus...'(he likes it) & he accepted with calm face....wahooooo
plus plus!! ..when i turn back to see him in the car, he smile with faint giggled...i feel `connected'!!!
