Itsy Bitsy Spider means Bedtime!

**every night at bedtime, jeena and i go through our little list of songs and one of the songs is 'itsy bitsy spider'. today we were at a playgroup and they started singing 'itsy bitsy spider'. jeena looked up at me and said 'ana go to bed now? teacher sing ana bed song!'

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!'

Laughing at Jessie?

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!!'

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!!

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!

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!! :)

Miss Order!

**yesterday jeena lined all her books up against the wall and said that she cleaned them up!! look at her face... so proud!!!

I don't know what B-E-D is!

**jeena wanted a pullup on.. i said 'you need a diaper because it's almost B-E-D time" (spelled it).. she said NO... i said "what no? B-E-D?" she just said about 10 times in a row "i don't know what B-E-D is".. she will learn soon enough what B-E-D spells ;)

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!!

Two Old!

**a popular question around here is 'how old are you jeena' and her response 'two old'. it took us awhile to realize what she was saying because we thought she was saying 'too old'!! :)

Missing Apa!!

**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'!!!!!!

Aww Crap!

**i must say this too much!!! jeena was eating applesauce this morning and dropped the spoon and said, quite loudly 'Aww Crap!' oops!

Yummy in my tummy mummy!

**this is jeena's funny-ness of the day!!! she went around all morning attempting to say 'yummy in my tummy mummy'!!

**jeena also kept saying 'silly mama' today... to everything i said or did!!

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!"
