Elyse has been a cute wonderful darling to us. Many times we are amazed by her ability to convey her thoughts to us though she's only 2 years and 3 months.
One example:
This morning, Ah Gong was carrying Elyse and they met Rev Wong Onn Thau as they walked into the sanctuary.
Rev Wong asked Elyse: "Where is your daddy?"
Elyse: "Teluk Intan."
Rev Wong: "Why are you not in Teluk Intan with daddy?"
Elyse: "No house."
They burst into laughter.
We have never mentioned to our precious one that the parsonage in Teluk Intan is not ready to move in yet. But probably she has learned that during our conversation with others.
Another exmaple:
We went to a restaurant for dinner today. After everyone got their dishes, Elyse started asking: "Daddy eating wat?"
Daddy: "Fried rice."
Elyse: "Mommy eating wat?"
Mommy: "Kuey Teow."
Elyse: "Ah Gong eating wat?"
Ah Gong: "Ah Gong is eating mee."
Elyse: "Ah Mah eating wat?"
Ah Mah: "Ah Mah's eating mee also."
Then Elyse began her second round of interrogation. She asked everybody the same question again. But this time Ah Mah accidentally said "Rice" intead of "Mee".
Elyse: "No, Ah Mah eat mee, not rice."
One round of applause for our darling. She actually remembers!
Many many other examples like this happen everyday. I wish I could write all of them down. Sometimes it just slip through my mind. But Elyse is definitely a joy to us. We thank God for such a wonderful daughter.
