funny things Auburn said this week

Simon has been out of town (more about that later) and so I have tried to remember the new things that Auburn has said. Here are a few of the funny ones.... (remember she is not even two yet)

"pink bear wear brown shoes"
She is really into dressing up her teddy bears lately.
"how about some tortellini?"
That is what we had for dinner tonight. I laughed when she said it because it sounds so grown up.
"Conley's chillin"
She tells me when Conley is sleeping, awake ect, but this made me laugh. I guess I said it awhile ago.
Nephi, Lehi, Liahona, Moroni ect....
She got a Book of Mormon story book from my parents and now she knows all of the Book of Mormon prophets. She tells me the names all the time.
"Auburn count strawberries, 1,2,3"
I about fell over when she said this. She counts everything to three. She also started telling me the numbers in one of her books, she got 1-5 right. I think my Mom taught that to her while she was here.
"bless you Conley"

me: where is Daddy?
Auburn: Africa
me: what is Daddy doing in Africa?
Auby: soccer game
me: who is with Daddy?
Auby: Ryan
me: who won the game today?
Auby: USA

The best of all is that she finally started saying "I love you"! There is something about hearing "I love you Mommy" that just melts my heart!

Oh my goodness she continues to amaze me with her vocabulary! Do you think it has to do with the multi-lingual situation? I wonder if the extra exposure to phonetic sounds helps? Sounds like an interesting linguistic research project! =)

Nathan likes how Auburn refers to herself in the the third person. Nathan thinks she should continue doing that.

Prague

So this week Simon's parents were in town visiting, and we decided to take a little weekend trip. The night before we left we decided on Prague. None of us had ever been there, we didn't have to drive over the Alps, and it was relatively close only about 3 and half hours away. Before we left we had to make sure that the rental car could drive to the Czech Republic, because apparently not all rental cars can, they have to be a certain type. I still don't know why. To make our adventure even crazier, the bag with Simon and my stuff in it somehow didn't make into the car. We did not make this discovery until we were at our hotel. Luckily, Auby's stuff made it and we had our coats and gloves. We did however, miss our thermals it was very cold. I'm sorry that there aren't more pictures of Auburn. She was bundled up in her stroller. Prague is a really neat city and has a lot to explore. Here are some of pictures..... St. Nicholas Church, where Mozart once played t...

reading

Auburn has been asking me to teach her to read.  So, I decided to try and just see what would happen.  She just barely turned four and I didn't want to push her, but she was excited so we started.  I am also not a fan of German Kindergarten (preschool here) and I know that she needed some extra stimulation.  Thank heavens for the internet and a knowledgeable sister-in-law.  We have been doing word family crafts, a sight word caterpillar and working on phonics.  There are so many wonderful resources out there to make learning to read fun.  She is really reading now and loves it.  She picks up books and reads the words she knows and asks us for the ones she doesn't know.  She is sounding words out and totally amazes me.  Right now she will read to anyone that will sit down with her.  reading to Uncle Seth and Conley  This is a common scene at our house, and makes me so happy.
