Pole, Pole

Lexi falls down and scrapes her knees quite a bit. Since she practically wears shorts every day, her little knees are pretty scratched up. If Lexi sees the scrapes, she says ‘pole, pole’ (poe-lay, poe-lay). That means ‘sorry, sorry’ in Swahili which is what Jane says when Lexi falls down. What do you call your boo-boos?

She has definitely become a good mimicker. She repeats practically everything thing I say and often says short sentences. I hope this means she will have a good vocabulary. I think if she continues to like books as much as she does now, she will.

We got to see Daddy on the webcam on Saturday. Lexi was all smiles about that. She was doing her typical coquettish tilt of her head. But today when she saw an airplane, it was back to ‘Airplane. Daddy.’
