speaking "phoenix-ese"

here are several words that I currently say that make me stand out from the rest...
"tracticture"=motorcycle
"bonk-bonk"=anything hurt. ex. crashed car, a building falling apart, a hurt on my body...
"buntons"=buttons
"kala"= convenience store (called bakala in Arabic)
"salama"=goodbye in Arabic

(to be continued...as soon as mama remembers some more)...

helping in the kitchen


tonight was the first night that I thought I should help mama in the kitchen (mama's behind the camera-otherwise she wouldn't have left her post making the scones). I was really proud of being able to roll out the dough and make the circles!

learning to push

this is one of the first photos of me learning how to push my tricycle with the pedals instead of with my feet...mama's really impressed because it takes a lot of strength to push pedals instead of just scooting with my feet.
