We've long established that Kate is bilingual. She has quite a large vocabulary of words (though not all pronounced accurately) and it's currently tilting more in the mandarin segment. Her level of comprehension seems balanced in both languages.
While reading her a book two nights ago, the husband and I decided to 'test' the commonly heard theory if she will be able to respond in the right language.
Me *pointing to picture: Baby, what is this?
Kate: cat
Me *pointing to same picture: Baby, zhe shi she me?
Kate: mao
YAAAAAY!! The husband and I looked at each other incredulously for some moments with huge grins on our faces. Clever baby!
Story of our simple lives - of our family, of our beautiful children, Kate & Jake
