Zara has been calling Daddy other names other than just Daddy.
When we are going home from my sis' place, she would announce, "I'm going home already, to see my Old Man, Bob The Builder."
When she has shouted for Daddy many times and got no response from him, she'll start using his name (first and last name together), "XXXXX LOW! XXXXX LOW!" Just like I would address him when I don't get any response from him.

She started to have some sense of time, and started using words to describe the past. However, she's still confuse with the usage, and it's cute to see her attempts.
E.g. "Just now we went to Cowboy town, the pony kick kick Zara right?" (although it wasn't just now but some time back.)
"Last time Zara saw reindeer in Ikea, and point(ed) to Mummy and Daddy." (although it was something that happened the day before)
Me : "Zara you shu-shu (Chinese : Pee) is it?"
Zara : "No, I didn't. I (am) lying down only" (she was on the bed trying to get herself to sleep).
Me : "How are you today? Do you still have runny nose?"
Zara : "No I didn't (don't). I'm feeling better already."

She likes to help Tuyam with her pronunciation or us when we can't find the right word to use.
Me : "Remember in Phuket, you saw the lobster in the restaurant, hmm.. what are those things on the lobster's head? *using my pointer to make the 'horn' on the head* antenna?"
Zara : "Mummy, it's fillers mummy! It's fillers." *grinning happily*
(Is it really called fillers? I actually don't know, but that's what Daddy told her during the trip and she remembers.)
Tuyam : *Pointing to a bee picture on her book* "See this 'beh' flying flying."
Zara : "Bees lah. Kakak, Bees"

Yesterday, she was crying so much for me before her nap. Wanted me to give her milk and nap with her. After her nap, when she was in a better mood :
Me : "Why did Zara cry just now? Kept asking for mummy?"
Zara : "........" (she always doesn't like to talk about embarrassing stuff, and crying is one)
Me : "Tell mummy, why did Zara cry just now?"
Zara : "Because mummy pregnant (I started wondering what has this got to do with her crying) . *She paused then continued* (obviously trying to find the right words) Zara wants to sayang sayang (Malay: TLC) mummy."
~~~~~~~~~~ . ~~~~~~~~~~
On a loving day,
Zara : "Zara is mummy's 宝贝 (precious). And mummy is Zara's 宝贝."
