Little Farm and words

We had a nice day up in Berkeley today -- over to check in on our new tenants (no problems, good reviews from the neighbors - whew!); lunch at Sophia Cafe; a trip to Little Farm in Tilden to see the baby piglets; and then Berkeley Bowl for some much-needed good produce and other Berkeley Bowl-only goods (Spanish Anchovies, Manchego, Special Blend PG Tips, etc).

Here are two pictures and two videos from the Farm -- I think it's a good time to check in on Noralee's vocab, since she is saying "zhu" for pig and "niu" for cow and "moo" for cow and "hi" to the babies around her. We've found she's pretty bi-lingual:

A to Z (she can recognize uppercase and lower case letters!)
the numbers 5-10 in chinese (wu, liu, chi, ba, jiu, shi)
Hi
Hi-ya and Toro (we pretend she's a bull and we're the bullfighter)
Mama
Dada
Awful
Waffle
Arrow
Arch
oval
Kir-sil (well, she's saying circle, but has the hard 'c' and the soft 'c' mixed up!)
Cheese
On, Off
An (push in chinese - said when turning on the light)
Bye-bye Shui (when watching the water leave the bathtub)
Mao
Gou, Doggie, won-won (dog barking)
Ai-yi
Nai, Shui (milk, water)
bao (bread)
hao (for yes), no (for no)
appa-sauce
hug
hippo (she says this when she passes gas and when she sees a hippo. we don't understand either)
Shoes, xie
up, xia (down)
other side (when she's brushing her teeth and puts the wrong side of the toothbrush in her mouth)
outside, inside
hedgehog
hannukah
bei-zi (cup)
bei (blanket)
gua-gua (squash)
xiexie (thank you - not always at the right time)
hua (flower)
poop
ball
bi (pen)
er-duo (ear)
enjin (eye)
fu (tofu)
uh-oh

But, she does NOT say: Noralee. We're still waiting. Of course, she can spell out the letters on her "noralee" stool.

Here she is talking and playing at the Farm.
