Progress is being made, Munchkin is getting smarter and learning new words. Nema, meaning empty or I don’t have any is her new favorite. Pet is the number 5 in Serbian. She says that too, but not only for counting. I am not sure she knows what it means, but she will!
Ironically, pet is the name for our well-loved animals in English. and she certainly loves all the animals she comes in contact with!
She knows all our animals names, and even calls for the neighbors dog, Nina! Yep, another animal lover no doubt! Even our grouchier cat has warmed up to her. And she sorta knows to be careful with him.
He was hit my a car twice before he moved to the village. I think the injuries sustained leave him with a lot of aches and pains that make playing with a one and a half year old child a bit uncomfortable.
One of her favorite things to do in the village is visit the chickens and pigs. Her newest word is jaja. It means egg. She loves to collect them from the chickens.
I can tell a door has opened in her brain and her verbal skills are moving very quickly. now. She repeats words and understands so much in Serbian and English, I will have to start spelling things soon.
Potty training went nowhere before, I am not even going to try before out US holiday. I will work on that when we return in Jan. I don’t think it will take her long then. She understands so much more now than just 2 months ago… in a few months she will be even more aware! Knowing when to go potty will be that much easier, I think.?
Twenty-one Months and counting!……. What a sweet little blessing.

she is growing up so fast. She is so cute.
Thanks!
Enjoy every minute of it – it’s magic when they start talking.
What a cutie pie. It’s so amazing watching them as you see those doors unlock. What a blessing indeed!
So cute!
