"Uncle Junming"

It was couple of months ago that Cheryl learned how to address Junming and since then, there was no looking back.

Somehow, Cheryl feels an affinity to him and she will call him very affectionally. When our families do meet up during the weekends, which by the way is very often, she will even make requests for him to carry her.

She will tell me and her Daddy that "Uncle Junming coming, Daddy change, Mummy change." And if Daddy is on the computer, she will not budge till he moves his butt off the chair and get into the room.

Today, as usual, she woke up and looked eagerly at me and calling out for her Uncle Junming. She even refused to take her nap and I had to resort to calling myself and speaking very loudly, pretending that it was Uncle Junming on the line. I had to lie to her that Uncle Junming said he would not come over unless she took her nap. Only then did she agree to catch a quick eye.

2 hours later, she stirred and although I thought I heard Cheryl say, "Daddy!", Daddy who was at the computer walked into the room because he heard her call out "Uncle Junming". We were both standing near the bed and waiting for our little spark to open her eyes. 2 seconds later, she opened her eyes, saw us and her utterance was, you guessed it "Uncle Junming"
