A sheet I typed up for a babysitter one evening, in England. Jiji was 2 yrs. and 3 mos., and Dio was about 6 and 1/2. Nini and Dudu are real baby words for sleeping and milk in Punjabi, not made up! Jp-jp is the sound of the light sabers, of course.
Here are some words [Jiji] says that may be hard to understand (28/9/01)
“Shishi” or “Jiji” = [Jiji] (he will shout this if someone takes a toy away, or if he wants to do something too, etc)
“Dio” = [Dio]
“too” = me too, I want to go too, etc …
“bed” or “nini” = bed, sleeping, etc.
“dudu” = milk
“bikit” = biscuit
“birim birim” = sweets and snacks
“poo” = he says this after he’s done poo, or sometimes for no reason
“rehreh” = duckies, raisins, or Tweenies (these 3 all sound the same). He’s not allowed too many raisins, though.
“deddy, deddy, do!” = ready, steady, go!
He says a lot of things like “baby happy”, “hello Dio”, “blue car”, “Jiji too!”, “Jiji no bed”, “no nini”, etc. He also says “yes”, “no”, “ta”, “sorry”, etc, quite a lot.
Some of his favourite videos are: “E.T.”, “Jp-Jp” (=Star Wars), “Woody, Buzz” (=Toy Story), “Tory” (=The Neverending Story), and “Asah” (=Arthur). [Dio] can usually find all these videos. Feel free to watch your own T.V. shows too! Put away all the videos then, or he will just sit there trying to put them in. He might whinge for a bit, but he has to learn he can’t watch his own shows all the time.
He likes to do his ABC puzzle, and knows a lot of the letters. Also he likes books, his blocks and choo-choo sets, etc.
He normally has about some milk before bed. This is in his yellow cup, about ½ full with full-fat milk. He doesn’t always finish it, though.
Don’t worry about his potty – he can’t use it yet. If he wants to sit on it he can just sit on it with his clothes on. He should need just 1 more nappy, before bedtime.
