Look who is learning to use a spoon!
Focus, Damon. What you do not see is the next second where that whole spoon full of food ended up in his lap. Sundi needs to stop distracting the little guy.
Whoop, Whoop! That's the way!
To be honest, I am really struggling with this new skill ( if you want to call it that). If you think letting Damon eat with his fingers was a mess, you should see the floor after this one!
(Note: Damon's pants were a joke, I do not make my kid wear his britches up to his armpits.)
How fun. Okay, so Sundi is a FUNNY girl. I am going to tell stories on her now while she is too young to get mad...
The other day, we were walking home from the mall. She heard a very loud bird in the tree. It took her a while to figure out where it was. Once she saw it she look at me with a questioning look on her face and asked, "ELEPHANT?"
On this same walk, we came across three chickens along the side of the road- a common sight in Kenya. We were counting the chickens in swahili.."moja, mbili, tatu...Sundi looks up at me with a mischievous grin on her face and says, "Chakula!!!" (meaning FOOD!) She's such a little Kenyan!
Last story: Michelle brought be out a few Tae Bo videos. Sundi likes to "exercise" with me. Although she spends half of the time "correcting" my form for me. She watches the film, then checks to see that I am doing it correctly. Ha, if I am not, she teacher eyes me and tells me what to fix! Well, this one video is called "Get Amped." At certain intervals, you have to do the said movement really fast. While you are doing the move, Billy is yelling GO! GO! GO! Well, today after I was finished working out and I was in the kitchen making dinner, Sundi comes in and starts punching in the air yelling "CHOO! CHOO! CHOO!" (If you remember from Michelle's blog, choo is the word for bathroom over here!!!!) I died.
oh, one last not so funny but it still makes me laugh...Sundi is calling me Kimmy. Where she got that one...I can only imagine. I think she hears people call me Kim and she adds a "y" to the end of a lot of names... I keep telling her it's Mommy not Kimmy, but it cracks me up every time she says it.
So, Mama Sundi aka "Kimmy" signing off for tonight.
