Learning Chinese

I am already speaking a lot of Chinese words. My favorite word right now is "xia yu", which means rain. I learned this word recently when there was a typhoon (my first) and it rained for four days straight. It was hard for me to stay inside all day when it rained and I kept pointing at the door saying "out" or "Crocs" for my shoes. I now also can say "Niao niao" for potty whereas I used to say "Potty".

The other day we went furniture shopping. I thought I was in heaven because I got to climb up and down all the chairs then climb up and down all the beds. When I got up onto a bed, I would put my index finger to my lips and say "Shhh" then pretend to go to sleep. All the people around me burst out laughing.
