Wawa & Baba Black Sheep

Zara has been calling herself Wawa instead of Zara lately. It must have been the influence of the Chinese song 泥娃娃 (Nu Wawa - Doll of clay). I tried to correct her yesterday. Me : Zara, what is your name? Zara : Wawa. Me : No, not wawa. Your name is ZARA. Zara : *pointed to her chest* Wawa Me : You can call yourself Wawa if you want, but your name is ZA-RA! Zara : *quiet* Me : Tell mummy again. What is your name? Zara : Wawa's name Cookie! Me : *giggled* Your name is cookie? A biscuit? Zara : *laughed* Hahaha. Wawa's name cookie! Me : Your name is not cookie la. Your name is ZA-RA! Zara : Hahaha. *repeated after me* Not cookie la. ZA-AH! Me : Yes. Your name is Zara. Zara : Not cookie! *giggled* Nowadays, I could really have a 'conversation' with her, and I can see, she has some sense of humour. She has also started singing quite a fair bit. With all the miss pronunciation, most of the time, we could still make out what song she's singing. Here's Zara's attempt to sing the song Baa Baa Black Sheep.

mom2ashley said...

sesame said...

She's quite a tease huh? Know how to "pull" your legs...

Tracy said...

Hahaha, Zara's getting bored with the name Zara and tried to call herself Wawa for a change?

ZMM said...

Egghead,
She probably won’t know the difference. :P She thinks it’s still her.

Helen,
Sounds very similar to her name too, pronounce by a younger kid. :P

Jesslyn,
Haha.. wah.. this Lyon lagi clever to give herself nick name.
She’s listening almost e.day. In the car (CD), at home (DVD/VCD), at night make mummy sing, etc.

May,
Zara & Wawa.. hmm.. must book the domain name first.

Chanelwong,
Haha.. if I let her name the next one, it’ll probably be snake or worm. :P
Yes, I think so too, she purposely act don’t know.

Geetha,
That’s why I’m trying to correct her.
She knows her name is Zara, but she still calls herself Wawa. Maybe because she knows it means doll, and she wants to be a doll.

Vien,
Malaysian Idol? Don’t want ler.. get criticized so badly by the judges.

Mom2Ashley,
She’s just shy I think. Even without the camera, she would still look away. When we asked her why, she would say, “wawa shy”.

Sesame,
Yeah.. always trying to pull my legs.

Tracy,
She thinks she’s a doll mah. :P

Cocka Doodle said...

Oi? I thought you have settled for the name "Zucchini" if its a boy, no?

amanda said...

It's so adorable to think of herself as a Wawa. I used to think I was an apple when I was a baby. I hope Bevan won't be thinking that he is an Orange. :)

Amanda,
Wow.. Apple? How come?

Immomsdaugther,
Yes.. and am surprise the words that she can produce.. haha

Blurblur,
Her mind seems to be extra mature when it comes to talking.. And sometimes she also tries to be funny, this wawa of mine.

Hmom,
Yeah.. she sometimes calls herself a joker!

Michelle,
No.. no.. I don’t want her to be Malaysian Idol.. Some of the judges are so ‘wicked’ with their comments!

Allyfeel,
Don’t know if it’s a girl thing.. She’s very into singing these days. Maybe it’s mummy’s genes. I used to perform on stage singing and dancing at 3, 4yrs old. Haha.

LB,
Wawawa.. you eat so much these days when you returned home, your colleagues will say Wawawa as well.. Or will they say Ooh Lala instead?

Whoisbaby,
Yeah.. Wawa is a doll in Chinese. She won’t let anybody use that name except herself. She copy right it. : - I

Fannie,
Ethyl too is singing to entertain mummy and daddy? Yeah, they are so cute and fun when they are singing.

Domestic Rat,
I don’t know how she link herself to cookie.. I think she was just trying to be funny.

See Fei,
Walau eh, so much foresight huh you? She may become the next Sarah Brightman you know. Quick quick, be nice to me.

YL,
Aiyo.. don’t know.. Maybe just change the title of the blogname, no need to change url so troublesome right?
Zane? Not two syllables. I want names two syllables.

Hui sia,
Ha, Zara too.. suddenly from G jumps to RST. Eh, you are back and with connection?

荦怡,
Never mind, Mei Mei will catch up soon.

Jasmine,
She attempted to grab it many times.. it’s hard to get her to sit still so I can tape it. :(
