Decoding of Daryl's wordings

I still remember those baby words that my little cousin, Cassandra used to say when she was around Daryl's age. Those words, 'invented' by herself like buka which refer to durians and repika which refer to ribena.

Well, it does sound cute right.

Now, my little boy also have his own words 'invention', and these are words that people close to him are able to understand, especially his nanny and me.

Below are the decode of some of his wordings.
