Thanks for the Fine Weather...

Eliana is really enjoying the outdoors and taking advantage of the fine weather we have. She has had several playdates in new parks and at home. Thanks to Pao Pao for buying her a new sandbox and climber, she always wants to be out in the backyard.

Developmentally she amazes us everyday. She sings parts of songs she loves with up to a line of words, she counts in all three languages and her memory is truly spectacular. Daddy has these hebrew flashcards with pictures on them and on the weekend when I had a glass of wine, Eliana pointed to the bottle and said the word in hebrew, we were shocked and gladly surprised our daughter recognizes alcoholic drinks, ha ha. Actually the flashcard is for wine but in the traditional Friday night Shabbat prayer way. There is so much she says in all the languages so full immersion of each of the languages has worked out, so far. Eliana also identifies hot and cold items and quickly advises us if her food is one or the other. She has learnt to say yes for things and okay for others. We know the "tantrum" stage is coming as Eliana does not like to leave the park or certain places that she loves to be, hopefully with a little compromise she will get over this fast. She is at the stage where she is lifting up her shirts to flash everyone and pats her belly with laughter, not sure what that is about yet but its funny, daddy is not liking that too much, hee hee. I am sure its just the heat.

Here with Daddy trying to bury her feet. Sand gets in every nook and cranny

Eliana on the climber side of her castle. Big smile, of course...

Grocery shopping in her sports car, like how she has her hand on the side, careful not to get the farmers tan...
