So now I sit and TRY remember all the gorgeous and cute things ZaZ has been saying lately ...
And yes ... you have heard before ... and I will say it AGAIN - I REALLY can't get over how much ZaZ's vocab is growing each and every day ... and just when I think, 'OMG this is the CUTEST stage ... another month passes and I think - OMG this is the cutest stage ... and then I interact with an 9 month old baby and think 'How boring is that?" ... and I think back to when I thought OMG ZaZ was so cute ... The moral of the story is, as Rebbetzin Sarah said to me once, 'Each stage comes with it's own joys and happiness' ...
Ok .. What is happening presently in Oz ...
As I always say, it is amazing to see how ZaZ grows when we are here ... I think mainly because I am with her 24/7 and that we are surrounded by a 'community' - Bern, Mom, Cas ... it really is true, 'it takes a village to raise a child' ...
What are the funny things ZaZ has been saying ...
ZaZ walked up to my Mom the other night and said, 'Granny Rona do you know anything about a children's scissors in this house' (Bern thought this was incredible funny and keeps asking her questions using these words')
Today in the park, ZaZ said to me ... 'Yes, I can DEFINITELY do that' ...
These days everything is ... 'I thought that we were going to the park ...' 'I thought Sushi was coming with to the park' ... (Shame, because the plans keep changing)
Often Cas and I or Mom and I chat in the car softly and think ZaZ is not listening, but a few days later ... ZaZ says something and we realise she heard everything ... Like the other day in the car she said, 'Mom, Auntie Cas, Bern and Granny will babysit me when you go babysit the other children' ...
ZaZ has started calling me, 'MaMa' ... not sure where this came from ...
The other day my Mom and her friend were in the park with ZaZ. My Moms friend said to my Mom, 'I need to go home and my (childs name) lunch' ... ZaZ piped up, 'Lunch - Come to Aqua Bar, Bernies restaurant .. he will make you lunch' ...
ZaZ has become extremely 'at home' at Aqua Bar ... she call the coffee maker, whose name is Art - Artie ... When Art was leaving today ... she looked at me and said, 'Oh no, I wanted Artie to make me a hot chocolate' ... When Minako made her a hot chocolate, she said walked up to Minako and said, 'You make a delicious hot chocolate and a very pretty leaf in Mom's coffee' ...
ZaZ is very into making 'show' ... She stands in the middle of the room and says, 'This is the bathing show ... there is no talking in this show ... you can/cannot eat in this show' ... then she does a little show (actress in the making) and ends with a bow!
ZaZ imagination (well, TV imagination) is on a roll at the moment ... she is always assigning people to roles, 'I am baby bop, you are Barney ... Where are we going to MaMa (eyes roll back in thought) Barney... ' Or 'I am boots, you are Dora ... let's take the flashlight and go on an adventure ... ' (the other day Bern was assigned the role of BJ - Ironic!)
Tonight we read a book from the library about Animals growing up ... I said to ZaZ, 'What are you going to be when you grow up?' ... ZaZ thought about it and said, 'A Mommy' ... I said, 'Are you going to be a Daddy' ... thought .. 'I am not going to be a Daddy because I am a LADY' ...
ZaZ is still into saying ... 'I want you MaMa' ... even when I am right there!
ZaZ loves to play ... 'I am the Mommy and you are my Daughter / Baby' ... Today Sushi was the Baby ...
Whenever ZaZ is the hairdresser or petrol man or anything her pretend name is 'Chicky' ...
I am sure there is more ...
I LOVE you my ZaZa Poooo poooo ...
