I love you

I'll tell her "te amo" and she'll look up at me and say " i love you" and it's so cute. She still won't say it in espanol though.

she's been waking up at night and asking to come into my bed: "duerma mami" or "mami cama" and how can I refuse such a cute little thing??!!

dreaming of nemo, cejas, no diapers

Tonight she fell off the futon and was crying of course. I asked her (in Spanish) if she had bobos anywhere, specifically asking about her head or back. she shook her head no several times. She cried out "mas nemo" and was pointing up in the sky. I asked her if she saw nemo when she was sleeping and she shook her head yes, this after she stopped crying of course. She's watched Finding Nemo these past few days, various parts, not the whole thing of course and is fascinated by the colors and the fact that he is lost.

She recently learned eyebrows, cejas, and likes to look for them on people or her "amimales" and she'll say "No Botas tiene cejas" (Boots, Dora's monkey friend). It's cute how she puts the NO in the wrong spot.

And on the 18th we had our first outing without a diaper. We went to Target and to the Petsmart place (to look at animals) with "calzon" for a short time. We had success until we returned home and I discovered her pants and carseat were wet. She uttered no word of this accident and continued playing in the car and upon arrival at home. She doesn't seem to be bothered by soiled pants/diapers because twice now she's wet her pants and didn't say anything and twice now she's soiled her diapers and proudly says "I sit down poo poo" and won't let me change her dirty diaper!

corn maze

We went to the corn maze in MS today and had a great time. The workers at the pony ride got a kick out of T speaking Spanish: "monta caballo" she kept saying. And naming the animals in Spanish. She cried when she couldn't do the trampoline bungee thing like B could do. She got tired at the end & had to be carried at the end of the maze. She didn't want to take her picture in the pig "stick your head in the hole" picture. B liked the shooting range. And they both liked the tractor/hay ride. She also like the slide tube.

Libary

Today we tried library storytime again and she did fine with it. Afterward we went into to main part of the library and she played with the puzzles and looked at board books for 1.5 hours. so we were nearly at the library for 2 hours. Then on the way home she remarked WEN MI HOUSE?? whearas yesterday she said Wen mi casa??

a new week's activities...

Today it rained and we went splashing in puddles. She walked out and down the street walking thru all the puddles. And we watched the garbage truck pick up garbage. She liked that. Also we painted today, but had to do that inside. And she always wants to watch DORA! "I need Dora" she says all day long. She says I need..... and I'll have her say necesito which she'll say but she will not say quiero for I want!

"Wen mi casa" she said as we walked back to the house after the puddles, mixing her arabic and espanol.

Yesterday we went to Young Chef's Academy for a birthday party. She wore an apron and enjoyed sitting there eating with that apron on. The older kids made pizza while she snacked on chips and salsa.

Her potty training is coming along, although she peed on the chair while she was eating! Pee pee toilet she said a tad too late!!
