Paige's vocab

Paige is speaking more and more, mainly Spanglish, it is hard to understand most of the time, but she is really trying to communicate. Yesterday Barry said "when she does finally make sense she is going to talking non stop!!" He is so out numbered with 3 women in the house!
Hello: Hola! EEIya (hiya)
Goodbye: Adious, wave
Water: Aguar, always
Mamma, Pappa, Mapa (if she is not sure who to call for!)
Wow wow for Hillary
more..she always is looking for more food, she says it in kind of a deep growl!
Balloon: Ballff~ a favorite toy
WOW, for lots of exclaimations
Baby:bebe

She doesn't have a real word for Naomi, I am trying to encourage Mi Mi, or Sisty as Naomi likes to be called. I am sure she says more but these are the ones that are the clearest!

Valentine's Day

This year was a tough Valentines day because Paige had to go to the ER the night before and spend the night and V-day in the hospital. Not fun. She was struggling with her asthma, and need extra oxygen and fluids, meanwhile making the rest of us worried sick! She bounced back very quickly and was very soon ready to be out of the hospital bed running around!

Naomi was home with Barry and got a box of chocolates from our neighbors little girl, Geetanjali. Naomi shared her candy, but the following morning, she told me that she had to hide them from Barry. When I asked her where they were she whipped them out from under her pillow! They were all crushed from sleeping on them, but at least Barry didn't polish off the box! Smart girl!

Naomi and her shower buddy!

Paige in her boat!

more questions...

Naomi is getting so big, she is asking so many thoughtful questions these days. Yesterday a gas tanker overturned on the freeway, and the freeway was closed. Naomi and I talked a lot about the marine animals being affected by this b/c the fuel leaked into the drains that flow to the bay, and how they firemen couldn't use equipment to clean it up b/c of sparks and risk of fire. She was fascinated and wanted to see pictures of it on the intranet. She asked if our drinking water would be affected, or if people were hurt...so smart!

I love Shoes

Paige loves shoes at the moment, her own and anyone else's! She likes to put on one shoe and wear it around the house. It has gotten so bad that I can never find a pair of shoes together...usually the other one is in a stroller or in the bathroom!

Whats that?

One the way to work Naomi saw a church steeple and asked me what it was. I told her it was a church and it opened the door for all kinds of questions.
N: What do people do in church?
L: Talk to God
N: who is God?
L: he lives way up in the sky and makes things happen, like the rain fall and the sun shine. We cannot see him.
N: how can people talk to him if they cannot see his eyes?
L: good question, they close their eyes and use their imagination.
N: Why do we need the rain?
L: so that food grows and we can eat.
N: Leanna had a candy calendar like the one Cheryl gave us about God. Ours was abut Christmas, was it about God too?
L: Ours was about Christmas, and Christmas is about God, b/c Jesus is God's child.
N: I know about Baby Jesus
The conversation went on and i was telling her about stories from the bible and all the miracles that Jesus performed. I def need some books to help with this. It may be time to get a children's bible.
