S finally said it today: "Poh Poh"! Poh Poh is what S calls my mom in Cantonese. He's been saying "Goong Goong," what he calls my dad, for the longest time and was probably one of his first words. I've been worrying that he's not bonded to his Poh Poh and that she might be developing a complex about him not saying her name.

I started to wonder about his connection to Poh Poh when he started saying words like pepper (pehpuh), computer (pupu), paper (papuh) but not Poh Poh. And he's been aware of her from day 1!

So we're all excited and a bit relieved. Of course it was only a matter of time.
