Watch Dora Please

Sunday is my day to wake up at some ridiculous time with Akemi and look after her. Usually I do a bunch of things with her that does not involve the tv. She was very good this morning and we were doing stuff when she saw the Dora DVD on the table. That triggered her brainwashing and she started asking for Dora.

We also have a Dora doll and a Dora ball, so I got those and started to play with them with her. Then she said "Watch Dora". Hmmm. She often says two word things like "bear cookie" and "big car", and she also says things like "run run run" or "jump", but I hadn't heard her say something with a verb and an object.

So, I was tempted to let her watch Dora, but I wanted more. I said "Watch Dora please". And then she said "Watch Dora please". Well, that was good enough for me. I ended up doing a bunch of chores around the house while she was glued to the tv.

Street Racer!

Akemi has already taken to street racing and all we can do is watch. There was a small carnival down the street so we went to take a look. She kept jumping into the cars so we ended up pumping streams of tickets into the ride.

Silvina also got her into the ferris wheel, but it paled in comparison to the cars.

Hearding Geese

Here is Akemi trying to fit in with her feathered friends.

The Duck Hunter

This morning we went to the park and there were Canada Geese all over the place. I think because there are about the same size as Akemi, she thought they might be siblings. She had a good time trying to fit in. I'll see if I can post a video on this.
