Mummy, I Don't Want Mandarin!

Checked with Jaevis' Chinese teacher how is he doing in school. Her reply was: "He's doing well in the class, no problem in writing Chinese characters. The problem he has is, he refused to speak to me in Mandarin. Try to speak to him in Mandarin at home."

Don't think that he doesn't understand Chinese. He just being stubborn. We tried to talk to him in mandarin, but he will either reply us in English or pretend not to hear anything. *Sigh*

The most frequent words he says is: Bu Yao, Bu Yao Dong 不要, 不要动! - Don't, don't touch! (That's when someone is trying to touch his things/toys.)

Grandparents are supposed to communicate with him in mandarin or cantonese, so he can slowly learn some new words from them. Instead, grandparents are learning English from the little rascal. *LOL*
