Good morning , good night, thank you, etc.. - 19 month old

Zo Ee at 19months 3weeks old. (1/12/2009)

Good night

Little Zo Ee has been saying good night frequently for months now. She will always utter this voluntarily to Mummy when she is about to fall asleep. And true enough, she will be soundly asleep within a minute or two after saying her "good night".

Good morning

Lately, little Zo Ee has the habit in greeting Mummy,
"Good morning. Good morning." the moment she is awakes. Although it is not a common practice in the house, but Mummy used to greet her "Good morning, Zo Ee." everyday when little Zo Ee was younger, maybe less than a year old. That was when little Zo Ee had not started talking yet, so Mummy finds many opportunity then to talk to her but as her being getting articulate and older, Mummy didn't bother to keep this practice anymore but seems like little Zo Ee is trying to revive this practice of ours. And each time, little Zo Ee greets Mummy, "good morning, Mummy" the first thing in the morning, it reminds me of our good old days. Another sign of her knowing the time of the day.

Thank you
Mummy is so proud of little Zo Ee with her
"Thank you." lately. She has been more consistent and spontaneous in thanking others for giving her a gift or thing. Little Zo Ee never forgets in thanking the taxi driver whenever we were alighting from it. She always spontaneously says "Thank you, uncle." She even thanks Daddy whenever daddy passes her the daily mail. Then saying thank you at 17 month old.

Excuse me
Humorous Zo Ee seems to know or understand that it is impolite to fart out loudly.
Recently, little Zo Ee will burst into laughter if either one of us fart at home before saying "excuse me." on our behalf. She will be chuckling loudly again and again while kept repeating her "excuse me" in between. Little Zo Ee even laughs at herself whenever she farts too...before giving us a cheeky look, bursts into laughter and followed by her "excuse me." in between. Then saying excuse me at 17 month old.

Hi /Hello
My friendly little Zo Ee loves to say Hi or Hello to other people; aunty, uncle or little kids we randomly meet on the road , in the lifts, at the park, or even the taxi driver. Little Zo Ee likes to say "hello aunty" or "hi uncle" or "hi ge-ge" or "hi jie-jie" without being told and she always caught the adults by surprise with this . Sometimes, Mummy wonders should Mummy stops her from being too friendly to everyone as little kids should not be talking to strangers by right. But on the other hand, Mummy didn't want to stop her from being such a friendly person. It is hard to find a balance between this while trying not to confuse my confident little 19 month old girl.
