Yesterday and last week

Aviva has been noticing how people swing their arms while they walk. She likes to practice doing it and showing me. Mostly she swings one arm fast and the other one not at all. She was practicing while sitting in the carseat the other day.

We went to a pool and Noah loved it. Aviva did not but if she was in our arms it was okay. Noah did something he called "floating like a dream." I'll attach a video. 

Aviva has a song that her Papa made up for her. It goes like this:

There's a girl I know named Aviva

A-V-I-V-A

THere's a girl I know named Aviva

A-V-I-V-A

SHe comes to her Nana's house

She comes to her Papa's house

She loves to come and play

There's a girl I know named Aviva

A-V-I-V-A!

She likes it so much and sings it a lot. Noah likes to sing it too. They are both adamant about how Nana goes before Papa. THat's the way it goes. The other day we were talking with some adults about something, and one person asked her name. She started singing the song and that was her way of answering so she really wanted the person to wait and hear it all.

Aviva was reminding me about something we did a long time ago (I think I buckled her into her car seat from the outside, through the window.) I started to do that again and she said I did that already, "yesterday yesterday yesterday". A lot of yesterdays ago.

Yesterday (just one yesterday this time) Aviva was describing people in our family and she said "Papa's my granddaughter" and "cousins is my cousins." In a different conversation she was telling me about what a classmate had for lunch and she said "He have'd a cookie." So she's sort of understanding past tense of verbs...

I will add pictures and videos shortly.
