Helloooooooooo

Amy is a talker.  Talks all the time.  To anyone who will listen.  She is picking up new English words every day.  Whenever the phone rings she will shout.......Hellooooo!  While rummaging through my kitchen drawers, she found my plastic melon ball maker.....thingamajig......what do you call those!?  She had a five minute conversation with whoever she imagined was on the other end.  She even
said "gooooodbye" before she put the thing back in the drawer.

What she says most often.......Mommia, Daddia, ( I have no idea why she adds the "ia" on the end because it really does sound Italian)  Whoa, Stop, Wait, Be Nice, Swing, Ice cream,  Later, Come here, Please and thank you,  I don't know and maybe, plus our favorite...... I lovva you ( has an Italian twist also)!

She sings Twinkle Little Star, Old Mcdonald, and Bah Bah Black Sheep.

We used to nod and say yes to most of what she was saying, but after realizing we should be careful,  now we often find ourselves just saying, "maybe or I don't know" when we are not sure.

We are working with someone to get a bilingual tutor for Amy soon.  Will be so helpful to be able to get some things translated between us.  We are able to translate some things to Amy with phone apps. or google translator, but they do not seem to recognize Amy's dialect. Oh how we would love to know what she is saying!
