Milestones:
Playing on her own - taking care of
the baby in the "Little people' toy house... "you good baby?", "you
had a nice day baby?"... followed by banging baby on the door! It
was a little bit scary really.
Understanding the severity of
illness
Both Morial and I had Gastro
Enteritis this month which landed us in the hospital for a 5
hour stay in the waiting room and a dose of saline and
gravol through and IV. Lucky for us, they were kind enough
to provide us with the special "electrolyte juice" for the
duration of our stay.
The doctors were trying to
avoid giving Mori the IV since the process of inserting it
could prove to be traumatic for both the young patient and
the nurses (probably more so the nurses). I had a suspicion
that Mori would be ok but since I'm sure the nurses hear
that all of the time from doting parents I neglected to say
anything. I think we were all relieved when Mori slept
through the entire thing!
Developing long term memory - pulling
back stuff from months ago (ex. I want to sit on Lise's chair...
memories of passover dinner)
Conjugation - cognisance of the
difference between me and I, past, present and continuous tenses.
Cooking eggs
Making sandcastles at the park (with
Monica... the girl who lives at the park)
Drawing circles
You mustn't kick the cat (even
though no one has a cat), and you should only kick soccer balls
Chasing Charlie (the dog) and
laughing hysterically.
Using, "no, I don't want ....
" as a response to everything.
Inviting everyone to Jamaica.
Ayla's going to Jamaica and Papa bear is going to Jamaica
and Satchi and Buddy and Charlie (the 3 dogs)
Randomly making comments about
A. Liza and U. Asha. Aunty Liza was playing football with
daddy (fat chance) and then we took A. Liza and Tsahai to
the park.
Making up songs.
Tap dancing (kinda)
The "look at this game"... as
she throws herself into different positions.
Unusual attraction to
dandelions and pine-cones. There's at least 1 collection in
every car and house and Mori frequents.
