Apples and new words

I have abandoned the blog for quite a while, and there are so many things happening! Every day is a small discovery.

This morning, for example, we were in a rush to get Alina ready to go to nanny. John was trying to persuade her to put the shoes on, but she didnt want to sit on her seat. Then he asked her what's wrong, and she said "poo". He checked, and indeed there was a poo :) So it's nice that she started to understand, and tell without prompting. The next step would be to tell us in advance, so we can put her on the potty.

I was away for a week, and it's amazing how many new words Alina have learned. All in english unfortunately, but at least she is making a progress. Yesterday nanny asked her "what is it on your top", and Alina said very quietly "flower". When she is not confident with the word yet, she sais things very quietly and in a shy manner. She also can say "Upsy Daisy", which sounds so sweet when she said it. She also learned "tea" and "cheese", and she knows the tea is hot, she sais "ho". The favourite word is "No", whatever you ask her the answer is "no-no-no-no"

Apples.... Alina loves apples, she can eat the whole apple without even being peeled. She eats all of it, she doesnt go around the centre, she goes through it... we went to the apple day at the farm, and I picked a large apple for Alina from the tree. She ate 3/4 of it before dropping it on the floor accidently. Otherwise she would have eaten it all! She then picked up another apple straight away, it took a bit of effort to persuade her to eat her lunch instead.
