Uhh-ahh means monkey
When J was a kid she had this consistent action she does using her arms both held up and making a certain uhh-ahh sound like a donkey as he pumps her hand up and down. I told her in her 1 year old self that she should remember the action and tell me what it means when she can already understand language, adult language. I mimic her doing it and constantly reminding her for about 2 years. At 3, she already mastered her ABCs, and even read whole pages of Dr. Seuss and her other pre-school books. She's into constructing small sentences so I thought about the action again. "Jade, do you remember 'uhh-ahh'? what does that mean?" "Monkey" she said once. I had my silent smile of pride but wasn't sure if she just randomly said a word to answer my question. But still I told my husband about the conversation. We were both proud. Last weekend, we were doing our leisurely weekend walk in a park with a pond with a few fish.
