Milk

We were talking about all the different kinds of milk that people drink (Rice, Soy, Lactose-Free and Cow's milk). Of course we had to go through every aunt/uncle/cousin, member of the family so I could tell Jeena what kind of milk they drink! Then....

Jeena: What kind of milk will the baby drink?
Me: Mama milk.
Jeena: A different Mama milk right?
Me: Umm no, my Mama milk. Where is the different Mama?
Jeena: *points to the door* Somewhere out there.
Me: Why does the new baby need a different Mama for milk?
Jeena: Because you are MY Mama!

This could get interesting in June...

What do you want?

I've been asking Jeena if the baby was a boy or a girl, if she wants a brother or a sister.

So today Jeena is saying that the baby is a girl and thinks it's a brother!!

Good one!

We were eating supper and Jeena spilled a drop of water on the table and asked for a cloth to clean it up. Sinyoung brought her a paper towel and put it on the drop of water. Jeena looked at him with a big smile on her face and said "Good one Apa!!" It sounded so funny!!

Then Sinyoung was getting ready for work, shaving in the bathroom and Jeena asked what was all over his face. Sinyoung explained that it's shaving cream and that it helps his face when he shaves. Once again she said "That's a good one Apa!"

We're trying to remember if we've said this in the last couple days, or where she got it from!

The dictator!

Jeena has been doing this for about a month and we're still laughing at it!!

She will draw a picture, show us and say "Can you say good job Jeena?" So we say "Good job Jeena!" and she's all happy! If we don't say it, she repeats it over and over again!

If Jeena comes up with an idea about something to do, she will say "Can you say that's a great idea Jeena?"

"Can you say that's a cute animal Jeena?" And on and on!! We have tried to say the same thing to her but it somehow doesn't have the same effect!

The funny thing is that she'll say her "Can you say..." with the question being what we would say exactly!! She knows us well! :)

Christmas

Jeena says Christmas, "Chris-a-mee". That's all :)

Randomness...

Jeena's last goldfish died and she asked where it went. We told her that it went in the pipes. The next day she looked into the empty fish bowl and said "I know why the fish went into the pipes, he wanted to play with his friends!!

I was putting Jeena to bed and Sinyoung was cleaning up around the house. He made a noise doing something and Jeena asked what the noise was. I said that I didn't know. Jeena responded with "That's okay Mama, he's just cleaning, I understand!"

We were doing groceries and were looking for green beans. All we could find were yellow beans. All of a sudden Jeena said "Don't worry Mama, we'll find them sometime!" She sounds too grown up!

I'll leave this next one to your imagination. Sinyoung made a certain sound and Jeena started laughing and asked him if he had an elephant in his bum!!!!

Saying Good Night to the Baby!

As I was putting Jeena to bed tonight, she started rubbing my arm.

Me: What are you doing?
Jeena: Saying good night to the baby!!
Me: Where is the baby?
Jeena: The baby is in your arm!
Me: Really? How do you know?
Jeena: Remember the lady took blood from your arm to see how the little baby was doing??

Case closed. The baby lives in my arm.

School

(Introduction to this post... I'm pregnant!!! :) I'm due June 15, 2009!)

We were colouring together and I kept spelling Jeena's name, getting her to repeat it. Then I would ask her what I should write next and she said, "Mama, how do you spell BABY?" So I showed/told her and I said, "Where is the Baby?" and she said "At school, my brother or sister will come to live with me when they get bigger!!" My uterus is a school!! :)

No and Yes

Earlier today Jeena kept saying NO to everything.

So I told her I don't want to hear no anymore so she said "Well okay then Mama, YES!'

She said YES exactly how she was saying NO!

Teacher Jeena!

Jeena was in the kitchen, and this is what I heard:

"Today I'm going to be the teacher. This is how you colour. First you hold it like thiiiiiiiiiiiis, then you colour! Is that easy? Oh Mama... I'm so proud of you!"

Party Time!

Jeena's cousin Jonas turned 2 years old on Sunday. On Sunday I told her about it being his birthday and she was happy. Today (2 days later) she came up to me all happy and said 'Jonas is 2 now, he's a big boy!' I said 'Yes, he is!!' and she said 'Now since he's a big boy, we can open doors together when we go to Oma's house!!'

This kid of mine knows how to party!!!

Teachers

Jeena started swimming lessons so before the first class we were telling her that she would have a teacher that would help her, etc.

Jeena was watching 'Big Comfy Couch' and they were talking about Molly going to school. Lunette the Clown was telling Molly about school, that there are teachers, etc.

Jeena's went right up to the tv, looked right into Lunette's eyes and said 'Don't be silly Lunette, Molly won't have a teacher, she's going to SCHOOL, not swimming lessons! There are only teachers when you swim!'

Fish

We were at Walmart looking at the fish and the lady asked Jeena if she had any fish.

Jeena's response "We only have one fish because the other ones all went upside down and into the pipes!"

Boys vs. Girls

There is a group of moms that meet at the playground a few times a week. We all have daughters.

Today on the way to the playground, I was telling her who was going to be there and Jeena said "Mommy only boys go to school and girls go to playgrounds!"

Yo Gabba Gabba

There is a very annoying show called Yo Gabba Gabba and Jeena knows I don't like it.

A commercial came on for it and I said "Ugg!"

Jeena said back to me "Don't worry Mommy, something else will come on, it's ONLY a commercial!"

Friday, September 19, 2008

Favourite commercials!

Here are a couple of Jeena's favourite commericals right now. She'll watch them very intently and then copy the last line in each! :)

Diapers

We walked to the library/mall this morning and would be gone about 3 hours so I put a diaper on Jeena, instead of underwear.

On our way home, Jeena said that she had to pee. I told her that she can go pee in her diaper. About 10 minutes later she told me that I would have to change her diaper at home. That was fine.

Then Jeena wanted to run on the path, so she got of the stroller and her pants were soaking wet!! I asked her how that happened, since she's wearing a diaper. Her response:

"My diaper didn't like the pee because I'm only supposed to wear diapers at night, so the diaper spit the pee out!"

Right.

Popsicle!

"Mommy can I have another yogurt popsicle?"

"I just gave you one, is the other one all gone?"

"Yes Mommy, the towel ate it all up!!"

Upon futher investigation, Jeena had laid her first popsicle on a towel and it melted all over the towel...

Snakes!

Jeena is doing great with using the potty and yesterday she went poop on the potty and called me from the washroom, all excited! I get to the bathroom and she is standing up pointing in the potty and said, "Look Mommy, there are only 2 snakes today to put in the toilet!".

Is this what they call imagination?!

Happiness!

Elmo is on and there is a song called "Happiness".

Jeena is running around the living room singing "A penis, a penis!!"

OH MY!!! :D

A friend is sleeping over...

Sinyoung's friend Eddie is here to spend the night.

Jeena was getting ready for bed and she asked where Eddie's bed is. I said that I don't know, where should he sleep? She said that he could sleep in Mommy's bed with Mommy (hahahhah I was DYING of laughter).

Then she got a worried look on her face and said, "But Mommy, when I get up in the night and sleep with you, Eddie will be in the bed".

I said that Eddie will sleep somewhere else so when you get up it's fine.

So I'm trying to put her to sleep and she won't go to sleep and then she says that she wants to sleep in my bed.

So I put her in my bed and she fell asleep instantly! I think she's reserving her spot! :) She wanted to make sure that I'd be there (not Eddie) when she woke up!! Awww!

Picture This!

There is a family of three in the library. The child is playing with the train set and all of a sudden looks at her Mommy. Her Mommy asks if she has to go pee and the child doesn't move.

The Mommy asks again if she has to go pee.

The child responds "No Mommy because there is pee in my bum now!"

The Mommy asks, "Pee in your bum or your underwear?"

The child responds "My underwear of course Mommy, my bum is for poo."

The child approaches the mother and the mother checks the underwear.

The father picks up the child so the family can run to the washroom. As the family is running, you see the father holding his hand out so pee can drip on it, instead of the carpet of the library.

When in the washroom, the family discovers that the shoes are filled with pee and the clothes are soaked.

Luckily, the mother remembered to bring a change of clothing, cleaned up the child and they were on their way!

(Today was Day 5 of Jeena only wearing diapers at night!)

Keep my brains!

**Jeena was riding on her rocking horse. She was going very fast and high so I said to her "Jeena, be careful, I don't want you to fall and bonk your brains!"

Then Jeena picked up her rocking horse, moved it to the middle of the room and said "Is this better Mommy? I want to keep my brains!"

Saturday, August 16, 2008

There's Pee!

Jeena: Look Mommy there's Pee!! (pointing out the car window)
Me: Eww, Pee is gross, there's not pee on your window.
Jeena: Mama, it's RIGHT there, there's Pee!
Me: Umm no Jeena, there is no Pee.
Jeena: Mommmmmmy, on the red sign, a Pee!

Ummm.. there was a STOP sign right outside her window and she was attempting to tell me all the letters! *embarassed smiley needed*

Friday, August 15, 2008

Her own Narrator!

**Jeena was watching Thomas and then said to me, "Mommy I would like water, Jeena said!"

Tuesday, August 12, 2008

Impossible!

Me: Jeena you're impossible!!!

Jeena: I'm a POPSICLE?? What colour am I Mommy?

I fall over and start laughing...so much for being frustrated with her
2 1/2ness!

Saturday, August 9, 2008

Go Live at the Zoo!

Me: Jeena, do you want to go live at the Zoo?

Jeena: YES, because I am a monkey. I want to live in the monkey house and they will show me their toys!

Me: I don't want you to live at the zoo, because then I can't play with you!

Jeena: Mommy, you can come live at the zoo too because you are a monkey, you can live in the mommy monkey house, so then we can still play!!

All settled...zoo here we come!

Fixing things...

Jeena has a stuffed elephant that needs some sewing.

I said "I need to fix it."
Jeena said "Are you a man so you can fix him??"
I said "NO I am a WOMAN so that's why I can fix him!!"

I want to Marry You!

Jeena: Mommy I want to marry you!
Me: What does that mean?
Jeena: It means we share!
Me: What do we share?
Jeena: Playdough Mommy!!

There we have it... the meaning of marriage :)

Where does it go?

Me: Jeena where did all your food go?
Jeena: In my mouth!
Me: Where does it go after your mouth?
Jeena: In my belly button, silly Mommy!

It's Green now!!

**Jeena has a habit of picking her nose when she is bored or in a new situation. I was doing dishes and all of a sudden, Jeena appears at the sink, with blood all over her face and hands! Jeena asked for a Kleenex to wipe her hands off, not knowing there was blood all over her face! The clean up was easy enough, the bleeding stopped right away. Jeena was given 'a talk' about not picking her nose, etc.

A few hours later, Jeena ran up to me, all excited. She had picked her nose and the evidence was on her finger! She said to me "Look Mommy, it's green now, I can pick my nose again!!!"

Ummm.. no!

Tuesday, July 8, 2008

New phrases...

**Sinyoung calls Jeena 'Sweetie Pie' so she has started calling him 'Apa Pie'!! :)

**Jeena's been counting like this 1-2-3-5-6-7-8-9-10, so missing 4. I keep reminding her to say 1-2-3-4, don't forget the four. So lately she's been counting 1-2-3-5-6-7-8-9-10-4!! And of course is all proud of herself because she remembered the 4. :)

Thursday, June 19, 2008

So...

(I had a miscarriage on Sunday and have told Jeena that I am not feeling well...)

**This morning Jeena woke up and right away said that she wanted to go in the car! I asked her where she wanted to go. She said "Mommy had a good sleep, so Mommy is feeling better, so we should go to a playgroup!" I have one smart girl on my hands!

New Baby!

**We just found out that Jeena is going to be a big sister in February!! Today I showed her my tummy and said that there is a new baby in there for her. So she kept poking my tummy and kept saying 'New baby in there for Jeena?' She did this a few times then pointed to my tummy and said 'Is there a new baby from CHINA in there?'

(Since Jeena was born, people have asked me if she's adopted from China. When Jeena was about 18 months old she was acting really cute and I said to her, 'Where did I get such a cute baby, you must be from China' And from then on, anytime we would ask her 'Where did we get you?' She would answer 'China!')

Can never start too young!!

**We were at the playground and one of the moms there introduced herself to me. Her name is Sharon. As soon as Jeena heard her name, she looked at me and said, 'Mama, that lady has same name as Sharon on YOUR show!!' We all started laughing and the mom asked if it was someone from the Young and the Restless.. yep!!!

Saturday, May 31, 2008

Look Mama, it's a....

**Jeena identifies people by the colour of their shirt. Today at playground there was a Chinese boy there, wearing a white shirt. Jeena called out in the middle of circle time, "Look Mama, there is a white boy!!" :)

Thursday, May 29, 2008

The author is?

**Whenever I show Jeena pictures of her Opa (my dad) she calls him Santa, because of his big white beard! Today Jeena found a book that my dad wrote (cartoons about kids asking God questions). She brought it to me and asked "Is this the book that Santa wrote?" :)

Come for a visit?

**The other day Jeena was looking at a Sesame Street book and was naming all different characters in it. She then said "I want Bert, Big Bird and Snuffy to come visit!" I told her that we'd have to find them to tell them. I asked who else could come visit and she said "Not Elmo or Ernie because they are too loud!"

Saturday, May 17, 2008

Both??

**We were walking in a mall parking lot this afternoon. Earlier, I had told Jeena that we were going to the mall. As we were walking to the mall, I told her that we're going shopping, so what should we buy? In the biggest, loudest, most excited voice ever, Jeena said, "Go to a mall AND shopping, in the same place, both at the same time?????" A girl shopper has been born ;)

Sunday, May 11, 2008

Ice, Ice Baby!

**Every night, Jeena has 2 sippy cups with ice in them. As I walk to the kitchen with the cups, I usually say 'Ice, ice baby'. Tonight when I was walking to the kitchen, I said it and Jeena said 'No Mama, not ice, ice baby. You have to say ice, ice big girl'.

Somehow that doesn't have the same ring to it ;) DD Hammer has some work to do ;)

Stop Whining!

**I was quite sick this afternoon and Jeena asked to go to the playground but I told her that I was too sick to leave the apartment. I was then walking around, saying how sick I felt, etc. All of a sudden, Jeena stood in front of me and said "Mama, stop whining!!". I FROZE!!! I asked Jeena what 'whining' was and she said that it means that I am sad!!! Smart Girl! :)

Why are you so cute?

**This morning Jeena was looking as cute as ever as she was waiting for Apa to go to the playground. I asked her "Why are you so cute?" Without a thought or breath, she answered back, "Because Apa is good looking!"

Hmm.... someone has been teaching her something ;)

Sunday, May 4, 2008

New Words!!

**Stand-upping
**Wake-upping

**To-now (Said in response to Apa saying that he is coming tomorrow and she wanted to see him now!)

**And the lovely word WHY has come into her vocabulary! She wanted to play outside but it was too cold so she kept saying over and over 'Tell me WHY!!'

Wednesday, April 23, 2008

What's your name?

**Jeena is learning that people have names, some animals in her books, have names, etc. Yesterday she asked me what Ellie's (from Pocoyo) name is. I said 'Umm, Ellie?'. She said 'No, silly mama, it's Elephant!'. Then today at the park she asked what my name was. I told her to tell me my name.

J - Is it Mama?
Me - Yes!
J - Is it Mommy?
Me - Yes!
J - Is it DeDe?
Me - Yes!
J - Is it Delia?
Me - Umm yes!

Then I asked her what Apa's name is!

J - Is it Apa?
Me - Yes!
J - Is it Sinyoung?
Me - Yes!
J - No, silly Mama, his name is Dude!!!

Where's my Treat?

**Last night when we were putting Jeena into her 'big girl bed', we told her that if she has a good big girl sleep, then she will get a treat tomorrow. When Jeena woke up this morning, I was congratulating her, being all happy and right away she said 'Ana good big girl, where's treat?'. She must have been thinking about it all night! So we went to a playgroup and then I asked her what her treat should be and she kept repeating FRENCES FRENCHES. That is her word for french fries!! I'm glad the other moms didn't know what she meant, so I'm not see as THAT bad of a mother ;)

Proud to be De-Cribbed!

**Yesterday I put Jeena down for her nap, as usual and all was quiet. About 10 minutes later I heard a HUGE crash. We have carpet here, so a huge crash IS huge!! Then I heard Jeena crying. I ran into the room and she's standing by the door, tears running down her face and she smiles and says 'Mama, I did it!! I got out!!' Jeena is now cribless, her mattress is on the floor. Last night she slept for 11 hours without getting up and right now she is successfully napping!! :)

My Favourite Toy is...

**i was answering a survey type thing about jeena and one of the questions was 'what is your little one's favourite toy?' jeena plays with so many different toys, i have no idea which is her favourite. so i asked her. without thinking about the answer she said 'shawn from hi-5' :) jeena ADORES shawn! hi-5 is a kid's singing show that she is addicted to!

It's Broken!

**jeena has a cold. yesterday i asked her if her nose was feeling better and she looked at me, put her finger on her nose and said 'no mama, my nose is broken, not working!' :)

Sunday, April 6, 2008

Not funny... but cool!

**jeena and i were reading a book this morning and there was a 1,2,3 on the top of the page. i hadn't said the numbers on the page yet and she saw them (she didn't say the individual numbers) and said, 'where's the 4??' umm i haven't taught her this yet ;)

Our Names!

**yesterday sy said something to me and started the sentence by saying 'hey de'.. jeena ran to sy and told him 'don't say hey de, say mama, mama her name!' we were told ;)

Monday, March 31, 2008

2 more minutes

**whenever we ask jeena to do something, or tell it's time for something, she answers back with 'in 2 minutes'. yesterday we told jeena that it was bathtime and she said her usual, '2 minutes', over and over again. sy then went to the microwave and said that we will set the timer for 2 minutes, and when it beeps it will be bathtime! he just finished putting the timer on, pressed start and jeena said 'okay bathtime, 2 minutes over!' this kid is too smart.. and too funny!

In your crib!

**this afternoon when it was naptime, we were in jeena's room, getting her ready for bed. i finished changing her diaper, etc. and said, 'okay, it's time to get into your crib'. i stood up to go sit in the rocking chair with her and she stood up and climbed right into her crib!!!!!!!!!! she started laughing so hard! she said 'mama don't sing today, ana nap nap time'! :)

Wait for the snow!

**jeena and i went for a walk in the courtyard behind our building today. in the middle of the courtyard there is a pool. jeena was asking what it was and i told her 'when the snow melts, and it's nice and warm outside, we can go swimming in the pool!'. she got very excited and stood there and stared at the pool. i kept walking but jeena wasn't coming. i asked her why she wasn't coming and she said 'mama, wait for snow all gone, i want to go swimming!' and she would not move!!! i had to figure out how to explain to a 2 year old that it is MONTHS away until she can swim!!! i kept showing her the snow and that it was still there. when we went inside, she turned around, looked at the pool and said 'bye bye pool, snow go away!'

Mama Toes Sick?

**we were getting jeena ready to go outside to play in the snow and jeena asked if i was coming. i said 'no because my head and nose are sick'. jeena looked right at me and said 'toes sick mama?'. i said 'umm no!' and she said 'come outside, shoes on, toes not sick!'. too bad mama's toes can't go without her head or nose!

I See a FIVE!!

**you know that you are not successful in the daylight savings time change, when your daughter wakes up and says 'mama, i see a FIVE'!!!! she saw three 5's actually... 5:55 a.m... this is going to be a lovely day ;)

No please!

**jeena is very good at saying 'thank you', 'please', etc.!! today we were getting her ready to go outside and we put her 'mask hat' on her and asked her if she wanted to have part of it over her mouth and instead of saying 'no thank you', she said 'no please'!! it sounded so sweet and innocent!

Stinky Mama!

**yesterday jeena and i were sitting around and i said to her that maybe i should have a shower! she said to me 'mama stinky?'. i said 'no, i'm not stinky but should shower anyway!'. then jeena ran to the bathroom, stood in the doorway and yelled 'mama, shower NOW.. stinky mama!'

Please and Sorry!

**jeena knows many signs and yesterday sy wanted something from her, so she told him to say please. he signed 'sorry' and jeena started laughing and said 'silly apa, this is sorry (signed it) and THIS is please (signed it)' so all day today when sy was to say sorry or please, he was reminded right away what the proper signs are ;)

Mama is 3!

**last week we were going down the stairs to do the laundry. jeena tried to hold onto the stair rail but it was too high. i told her to hold the side instead and said that maybe when she's 3, she'll be able to reach the stair rail! yesterday we went down again and i was holding onto the stair rail and jeena started laughing and said 'mama, not too high, mama 3!!'

Thursday, February 21, 2008

Crusts!

**since jeena started eating bread, she has not liked her crusts. i don't know why! i put the butter/peanut butter/jam all the way to the edge, she always leaves the crust! last week i decided to cut the toast into little pieces to see what would happen with the crusts.. uh huh..

Singing... Run Away!

**we went to a playgroup this morning and jeena had lots of fun painting, playing with a forest animal set, playing in the kitchen, throwing balls, etc. at circle time she did not want to sit there and sing, or listen to the story. she got up and ran back to the painting! on our way to the car when it was all done, i asked her if she liked the playgroup. she said 'yes like painting, animals, cooking, singing NO, ana run away!' and that summed it all up!!

You Laughing at THAT?

**the past couple days when i've been online, i have been having quite funny chats with people. i have been laughing out loud. yesterday during one of the laughing times, jeena came up to me and said 'mama, you laughing at THAT?' and pointed to the computer. she had a confused look on her face and how she said it made me laugh even harder!!

Monday, February 18, 2008

Already Dressed!

**yesterday we all slept in and realized that we had 20 minutes to all get ready for church. i was getting dressed and called out to jeena to come to the bedroom to get dressed. she started laughing very hard and ran to the bedroom. she said 'silly mama.. ana dressed already!' she was in her pyjamas and that counted as clothes to her!! ;)

Cream for Coffee!

**sy is lactose intolerant so we decided to start buying soy milk for all of us to drink! when jeena had her first sip, she put it down right away and said 'silly mama, this cream apa's coffee!' we've had the soy milk here and offered to her for almost a week and she's had two sips... so i think we'll become a two-kind-of-of-milk-in-the-house- kind of family!

Thursday, February 14, 2008

Naptime Joys!

**i put jeena in her bed for her nap and a few minutes later hear her saying 'awoof puppy awoof' and she went on for about 10 minutes!! then she called out for me so i went to see her and she said 'no sleep now, be with mama!!'. so up she came! jeena is fine without naps, so i don't really mind!! :)

Is Mama happy?

**today whenever i asked jeena NOT to do something, she would come up to me and hold my shirt and ask 'Is Mama happy?'. i would say that i wasn't happy about whatever she did and i would be happier if she said sorry. she then would put out her bottom lip and quiver and start to cry!!!! then in a flash, would stand up, sign that she was sorry and go on playing! then she'd come back to me and say 'ana sorry, mama happy!' what a monkey!

This is NOT Daniel Cook!

**if you watch 'treehouse' you'll know who daniel cook is. we are not a fan of him in this house... we much prefer his competition, emily yeung!!! today daniel cook came on and jeena ran and turned off the tv!! i asked her why she did that and she said 'apa doesn't like daniel cook, turn off!'.. haha! i see he taught her something when i was at the gym today!!

Saturday, February 9, 2008

**since moving to london, sinyoung has been working and i have been staying home with jeena. jeena really misses him during the day!! today he was off but went out before we woke up, to get a haircut. jeena started asking for him and i told her that he'd be right back. she stood by the door for about 10 minutes saying over and over again 'Apa, come in NOW!'

Jeena and her socks!

**when i get jeena dressed in the morning, she chooses what socks she wants to wear. when we started this, she would just take any pair and put them on... lately she has been going through her sock container and taking one of one pair and the other from another pair!! she never has matching socks on anymore!! she reminds me of her cousin juliana!!! :) so today's sock choice is a white sock with dark pink and green polka dots and the other sock is a pastel pink sock!!

**jeena's phrase of the day is 'i don't know what this is'.. she is pointing to EVERYTHING and saying it!! whether she knows what 'this' is or not.. she is asking it!

A message for Sasa!!

That's my girl!! :)

**we were just downstairs in the lobby and jeena was sitting on the couch looking at a chinese delivery flyer. there was a lady sitting on the couch beside her. jeena takes the flyer and starts reading the letters 'T-O... G-O'.. the title of the flyer was 'to go'.. the lady beside her dropped her jaw to the floor and said 'i just didn't hear that!!'.. my girl is soo smart!!

**whenever one of us burps in the house, we say 'dwed-gee' ('pig' in korean!). jeena just burped and said 'dwed-gee ana'!!!!!!

Friday's Smiles!

**I'm wearing a tshirt that says VISION on it. Jeena was pointing to each of the letters and saying what they were. When she pointed to the V, she said it was an N. I told her that's it's a V and she started crying, saying "Mama, not V, N!!" and she wouldn't stop crying until I stopped calling it a V!!

**I was singing to Jeena at bedtime. I was singing her favourite bedtime song "Wherever Go", otherwise known as "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat. All of a sudden she sat up and said "VOP". She had never said that before, I have no idea what it means, but how she said it, made me laugh so hard that I couldn't keep singing! Now everytime I bring her to her room for her nap or bedtime, she says "Wherever go Mama, Ana VOP, Mama laugh!"
