All better..

Sasha's vocabulary is growing leaps and bounds...as they say, toddlers at this age are like sponges.

Some words she knows:

Llama, Horsie, Cat (meow), Dog (woof woof), Wolf, Sloth, Ocputus (not a typo), Whale, Bat, Buttew-fly, Ewephant, Zibra, (She watches alot of Diego, Animal Rescuer, a popular cartoon), Milk, Tiger, Juice, Twee, Dowa, Boots, hat, scarf, jacket, Squiwwel, pasta, rice, chicken, ducky, water, boat coat (this is her life jacket that is practically glued on her over the summer), doug, mama, mummy, mom, daddy, baby, downstairs, etc...

She has started speaking in sentences...she will say "Carry you" if she wants us to carry her, "Milk please", although she shouts this so doesnt sound overly polite, "Thank you" and "Yor wecom", "No Dodo!!", "Bye bye (add in Mama, Doug, doggie, other name)", "Change diaper", "Dance Daddy", "More book", "Dini and paci??","Open light", "My chair" (and "My (everything else))", "Again! Again!", and "All better".


I cleaned the house last weekend as we were having guests for dinner. So far we are maintaining status quo..even after Sasha's play date with our neighbour, W. He is getting a younger sibling in late June, so his Mum and I are helping them with sibling expectation management. His Mum, a trained child psychologist who has opted to stay at home, bought him a couple of dolls to prepare him for the new addition. She also believes in gender neutral play. We are also preparing Sash for the arrival, pointing to my tummy and telling her about baby. Unfortunately, she indicated "No baby...doggie". Houston, I think we have a problem...

So in view of this rather momentous house cleaning...I present you, parts of mi now clean casa...the rest of the time we live like slobs






All better...
