Here!

i had been trying to get chloe to say out her own name for the past couple of nites by repeating the same question before bedtime, when she's most relax and participative at the same time.

i would often ask her this:
mommy: chloe, what is your name?
chloe: ....
mommy: chloe goh
mommy: what is your name?
chloe: ...
mommy: chloe goh

the initial few nites, she would not respond. i suppose she has not gotten the idea of what 'name' means... after few times of asking and answering the question myself, her answer caught me by surprise.

mommy: what's your name?
chloe: ...
mommy: chloe goh
chloe: HERE!

alamak.... (slap forehead)

it seemed that the kids were told to answer HERE whenever their names were being called out in the childcare. though she is still unable to say her out own name yet, at least she understood clearly what NAME means and that hers is CHLOE GOH. :)
