Resli's been having such a blast at her swimming lessons at the public pool down the street that we decided to go there for a few hours this morning. I was super psyched to wear my new bathing suit - it has butterflies on it!
One of the great things about summer is the huge variety of fruits and vegetables that are available to us. You may be surprised by this, but I like a lot of them!
I discovered cherries the other day. Mami pitted them and cut them and gave them to me.
Yum! I really liked them!
Likewise, THIS may surprise you, but my sister did not like them. Or so she said. She didn't bother trying them, just claimed that she wouldn't like them. She ate around them and chose the melon instead.
So the question is, is life really just a bowl of cherries?!?!
Mami isn't a big fan of sitting us in front of the TV, but when there's a long wait at a restaurant, she's found the perfect solution: a little iPhone action! Her iPod contans mostly Backyardigans and SuperWhy episodes, and when desperate she breaks it out to distract us.
Works like a charm. We rarely get through a whole episode (and if we do we know we'll never go back to that restaurant!), but it sure does keep us quiet for a while. Except of course that I keep yelling "Pablo! Pablo!" He's my favorite...
I went to see the ENT specialist last week. I've had sooo many ear infections and am resistant to all the antibiotics I'm not allergic to, so we decided to see what we could do. Beba came with me to keep me company.
It was kind of scary, but I was a big girl, even when they looked in my ears and my mouth.
End result: I'm having tubes put in my ears and my adenoids removed on June 18th. Send me happy healthy thoughts!
We got our developmental evaluations at school today. Mine says that I'm just beginning to use two words together, that I have fewer than 10-15 words, and that I am not able to identify the parts of my body. Either the assessor was in a different room or they mixed me up with someone else, because that just is not true! To prove it, here's a video of me identifying all the body parts Mami says.
I also do this in Spanish, and of my own free will will say several of them. And yes, in longer phrases even, such as "Bump head, Mami. Hurts. Kiss it please." Here's one: "Camera hold it" as in, "Hey, you've got a camera there, I'd really like to have that in my hands!"
SO. THERE.
But yea, they may have gotten the part about self-feeding skills "emerging" right, check out that fruit juice bath. Sigh.
Even though I've been sick pretty frequently lately, I still manage to find a smile almost all the time.
Yogurt is pretty mjuch the highlight of my day. I LOVE IT.
I come home every day from school just covered in yogurt, and finally this week, when I was home sick, Mami discovered why. Because I insist on feeding myself. "Lela do it! My yogurt! Me do it!"
What, do I have something on my face?
Mami broke out the video camera to catch my independent streak on film, but true to form, I surprised her by asking for help.
Even though it's been pretty hot out lately, I still love nothing more than playing outdoors.
Especially when Resli wants to play with me and show me things.
She knows so much and she always leads me to fun!
