At 14 months, Xuan started to say “Papa”. This would have sent H over the moon...except that she calls herself, me, her grandmother, her aunt and everyone else “papa” as well! Scrap that, both H and I are over the moon anyways. It cracks us up when this happens:
Xuan : Papa! (points at H)
H & Me : Yes (smiling)
Xuan : Papa! (points at me)
H & Me : No, that’s Mama!
Xuan : Papa! (pats herself on the chest)
H & Me : No, you are Xuan Xuan!
*Repeat x number of times throughout the whole day. And this cracks us up EVERY time, even when it’s going on 13, 821.
H says that Xuan is trying to steal his title, I think she has an identity crisis. Even more so now, when she has added “Mama” to the mix and uses “papa” and “mama” indiscriminately for everything! Although she does seem to call out “Mama!” for cases of emergency...such as when I am walking away or she when she is looking for me.
