Ace Is Japanese


I think Ace is Japanese.

While Ace refuses to say anything other than, "Mum mum, " "Nen nen" or "Eat" (new vocab word that is ALSO related to food), he is always happy to gibber away in 'dunno-what' language... Waipo always says that Ace is speaking in Japanese.. because his gibberish sounds like Japanese.

Yesterday, we have affirmed that he IS speaking Japanese.. hahaha..

Well, we brought Ace to office and Hiromi was there as well. So Ace started out by beaming and smiling at Hiromi (Ace is a natural when it comes to charming beautiful women)... and then he started his gibberish because he had been sitting in his highchair for a long time.

We then tell Hiromi that we suspect he is speaking in Japanese and asked her if she understood him.

"Yes..." she said. "He is saying he is very boring.." and she laughed.

Anyway, I suspect could have been Japanese in his previous life.
1) He likes listening to Waipo chant gongyo and daimoku (and that is in traditional japanese)
2) He likes Hiromi and gave her a kiss the first time we asked him to.. even though he is now wary of strangers
3) He, like most Japanese men, is very hao se.. the other day we went to Seth and Evelyn's wedding and he chased after a few girls and went to hug another little girl again..
4) Most importantly, without any exposure to the language, he speaks it! Hahaha...
