So Beautiful

Treats



Her favorite thing to do!

Puzzle

Puzzle time with dad.

Trike

After much research and debating I finally choose a trike for Ali. I ordered it online and anxiously waited its arrival. The day finally came! Its here!The box said minimal adult assembly required. I could handle that! Over an hour later with my blood boiling and the entire tool box strewn across the floor I had something that resembled a trike but the foot rest would not come down, the seat was wobbly, and the handle bar would steer on its own. I also created a dents in the seat and scratches on the frame. Rob came to my rescue and fixed the rest but I have to say nothing about the assembly was 'minimal'. Though I think it was worth it. She loves it! Rob pushed her to the park and they played then pushed her home. On the way he sang her ABC's and you will never guess what Ali was saying when she got home! She was singing A-B-C-D then saying yay and clapping. What is so fantastic about this trike is parents can operate it you push and steer the child as they ride, then the handle can come of and it is a real kids tricycle! I love it, well I love it now that its together.

Decoding Aliya Talk

Mama- (Unfortunately it does not mean 'mama') it refers to anything she wants. She points and says 'mama mama mama' the louder and faster she says it the more she wants the item. It goes from a simple ' please, mom, may I have that' to ' GIVE ME THAT RIGHT NOW' depending on her level of enthusiasm when saying 'mama'.
Whoo, Whoo- She says this whenever she sees a dog, referring to the barking noise they make. She also uses it to refer to any animal, such as cats, rabbits, lizards, wasps and ants. Basically an animal on the planet.
Bob- Dad
Go!- 'Maddi, come get your treat I just dropped on the floor for you'
Na na - No
Nyum Nyum- Food
Bapa- Any adult male
Rar- (Like a monster, she chases you and tries to tickle you)
Muah- (kissing sound as she gives you a kiss or a flying kiss)
Dhey- Give me what you have in your hand, (It is a katchi word and she is using it properly)
Hi- Hi
Baby- Baby
No- No
Yay- Yay, while she joyfully claps her hands
And sometimes, once in a blue moon she'll say dada to her dad.
Her nonsense sounds:
Tico
Grber
Neee
Uhunh
