Like my mother, I have a great ear for grammar and pronunciation, and for spelling. When we moved from Russia, my mom's English was so good, she was working right away helping new immigrants. You can tell her any word in either language, and she can tell you right away how many letters in that word.
One thing that I hear right away is a lisp, my oldest has one and I am trying to show him the difference between "s" and "th" with his teeth. In college I had an economics class (say that and the rest with a lisp) and she talked about elasticity, and it drove me nuts, luckily I liked the subject so I did OK.
Now when I hear my kids grammar and funny words I just keep quiet and crack up, I find it amusing and fun. Like the phrase above, he always asks about our visit to Your-Ami, so I was trying to explain to him that the name of the city is just Miami, we will see if he got it :)
I also love I winned, I sawed, I thinked, so many more, hard to remember in this late hour, I really should right them down as they come. So this morning we had a slow start, which was great, I didn't sleep too good last night, each kid took turns and once the first one woke me up, every little noise had me up. So once we were all up and had breakfast, I put the kids to watch a movie and took the morning nap with my baby. Thank God I did, my night recently ended with an amazing Prenatal Yoga class. I love the conversation, I especially love to connect with first time moms and help them try to understand what it will be like and that they can do it, their body knows how, it's the mind we have to keep at bay. Once our mind gets rolling in the wrong direction, it makes our body react in a defensive way and actually interferes with labor and birth.
So we went on the Metro train again and low and behold the whole science center and history museum lost their power and were evacuating, gave us the perfect reason to just hop back on the train. I had plans to go to Mother's Beach, there was a gathering at 4:30pm, a Reggae singer performs for kids every Thursday, and a whole bunch of mom's come and hang, it is in Marina Del Rey. It was nice, but it was COLD, we were all so not dressed for it, glad I did it, great for when they are older or in the hot summer days. The cool thing is this Reggae guy brings drums and maracas so the kids can jam with him, my baby was loving it, my kids were playing in the super cool playground, many areas, right on a beach near the marina, a cool wooden boat play area, nice. It is just too late for my kids, they get hungry, fussy, and tired, and the baby literally just went to sleep, he zonked out on the drive home, and then was wired, and I think really is still wired.
One more day, tomorrow I think I will take them to my mother in law, hang in the park nearby, simple, then we have guests for Shabbat, a mom I met at one of my adventures, and we met up again and had fun and so did the kids, YAY.
May I just say, although it is exhausting, I find it much easier to run around with the kids than be at home entertaining them. I don't want them watching a show all day, and I also like to see whats up around town and meet other moms. I love when it is fun for me too!!! I love being myself and just hanging out, getting to know friends and potential clients. I feel so blessed that I can just be myself in my work. My work is my play and my kids are my work, LOL.
THE JOY,
