Azhaan Speak!

I play this game with Azhaan every day to see how much he knows about his family. I sit with him and tell him the names of people he knows and he tells me what he calls them. Here’s how our conversation goes:

Me: Azhaan, Andaleeb kaun hai?

Az: Mummy (mimmy, mammy, or ammi depending on his mood)

Me: Saboor

Az: Bua, Bwa

me: Ammi

Az: Nanji

me: Sidra

Az: Yaya(chaya also sometimes!)

me: Parvez

Az: Chacha

me: Anjum

Az: Chachi

me: Rayaan

Az: Baby, beebee, beebwee

me: Papaji

Az: Paeppaja or Peja

me: Junaid

Az: Mama

me: Shazu

Az: Phuppu

me: Dadu(what Sab calls my mil)

Az: Pa, or Apa(he calls her Apa because thats what my mom calls her…:D)

me: Abbu

Az: Jaea…from Jee, its evolved to Jaea, or sometimes Jaeee…I have no idea why he calls his father that…

me: Mansoor

Az: Chacha! (I keep telling him, your abbu’s name is Mansoor but he doesn’t understand!)

And lastly,

me: Azhaan

Az: Mai mai( and he taps his own chest!)

And this is something I had better record before he grows up and forgets it!!

I love this stage of kids growing up when they are learning to speak! he’s growing up so soon, mashallah and soon this will just be a memory.
