boom boom bear

i was in my very first school show last night! i remembered all my dance moves and even all the words to my song




















here i am doing a boom boom with my tummy

i had a real good time

can you see the lightman?

at lunchtime yesterday it started raining like mad, not just cats and dogs but cows and elephants too!

mummy tried to go back to her school after lunchtime but she couldnt get out of the road because there was suddenly a river where the road used to be!

mummy asked a-bei at the little shop to help come pick me up (he has a big jeep) so off they set at 2:45 to drive the six minutes to my school, after taking more than hour and about 10 miles of back roads all blocked or getting blocked with water and rivers mummy decided to walk the last mile

mummy walked through waist and chest deep water trying a few different roads that were impassable til she finally found a way to my school, the principle was very surprised to see her as none of the other parents had made it there, and the teachers had started making dinner for everyone and laying down beds and blankets for the night

mummy bundled me up and carried me out of the school, i thought it was great all this water everywhere, people walking and pushing their scooters, me dangling my feet into the water, and laughing at the bubbles mummy's legs were making

mummy walked home the long way round because she knew some of the roads where still open on the way down might still be open on the way back

we sung songs all the way home including "i hear thunder, i hear thunder boom boom boom, can you see the lightman? can you see the lightman? boom boom boom"

all in all mummy did a good job and once we had gotten away from our school area the water was much shallower, only coming up to her thighs most of the time, we got back to a-beis shop and told him we were ok, he had had to get out of the area as it was getting to bad, with concrete blocks being pushed down the road by the water, and was surprised to see us so soon

we got home at 5:30 and daddy didnt get home until 9:30 after the rain had stopped and the floods had gone down a bit

mummy went to bed with me after we had mopped up the ground and fourth floors, she said she was really tired and that it was the best work out she had had in months!

where are you?

we were coming home from school the other day and i said "daddy is a man" and so mummy asked "what is tiana?" i said "nana is a girl."

so then mummy asked "what is mummy?"
i had to think about that for a minute mmmmmmmm
"mmmm mummy is a mum!"

when we get home i love to take all my clothes off and run around naked for a while shouting "look mummy nana no clothes"

i was sitting on the floor naked and said to mummy
"what happened?"
she looked at me, with my legs spread wide, sitting on the floor looking at my fanny and i said "willy where are youuuuuuu?"

mummy said "tiana you are a girl, like mummy, you dont have a willy"
i said "mmm what happened?" and looked some more for it "where are you willlllllly?"

nanas words!

i love words, i love books - daddy says i am turning into mummy!

just now i love asking everybody about everything "whats that?" i ask it on average 200 times a day

but some words are mine all mine and no one else should use them

"i love you mummy" and mummy says "i love you nana" and i say "no mummy, thats nanas words"

i start singing "twinkle twinkle little star"
and then mummy sings "how i wonder what you are?"
"no mummy, thats nanas words!"

"oh look mummy a baaaaaaaaaby"
mummy says "aww what a cute baby"
"no mummy, baby is nanas words!"

and when the lala truck comes i sing "la la la la la"
and mummy starts singing!
"NO mummy, thats nanas words" (my mummy doesnt learn very fast does she?!)

so mummy asked me what words could she sayand i told her

"mummy you say blah blah blah blah!"

watch out

sometimes mummy picks me up from school on her scooter but her beep beep is broken so my job is to let everyone know we are there

"watch out everyboy nana is coming" i shout

"watch out trees nana is coming" i scream

"watch out mooooooon nana is here!"

and this morning when i was getting ready for school i was shouting out the door

"watch out rain nana is coming, you stop now k!" and it did

helping

i love helping mummy, everyday when i come back from school, i wash my own school bowls, the floor around the sink, my clothes and sometimes even my hair. mummy says i am a good helper, daddy says i just make a mess, i think i agree with mummy


mummy bought me a little kids toilet seat to put on the big toilet so now i dont just have to use the potty i can be a big girl too. mummy helps me by holding on to me so i dont fall off

silly mummy forget sometimes and goes to the toilet all by herself, but most of the time i remind her and say
"wait mummy, nanas coming, help you ok?"
"ok" says mummy
i hold on to mummys' knees and say
"its ok mummy nanas got you. hold on mummy dont fall off. be careful ok?"

how to look taiwanese on a scooter!

here is how to look taiwanese on a scooter

1. look at my cousins' hilarious "how to look italian on a moped" on her blogspot all of her points apply www.rebelyael.blogspot.com

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

8. wear your shirt or coat back to front, i have no idea why but most people do it (not guilty)

9. carry as many people as possible, this means two adults, up to four children, only the driver is wearing a helmet, and possibly add the family dog (guilty of two adults, one child but all were wearing helmets)

10. move large, awkward and cumbersome items on your scooter, included and manditory are fridges, tvs, couches, gas bottles, replacement windscreens for your car and just about anything else you can think of (guilty of the tv and fridge oh and a huge potted plant that i couldnt see around)

11. livestock (or deadstock), upside down still living chickens in bunches of two or three on each side, a whole pig, dead (thankfully), small dogs must be carried int he basket in the front (not guilty on any charge)

12. if you chose to stop at a red light(optional) always stop under the nearest tree to the traffic light, rather than anywhere near the traffic light, thus avoiding the sun (guilty it is damn hot out there)

13. wear an open face and visor free helmet, thus making driving in the rain a blinding experience (guilty)

14. own and wear a huge raincoat that covers you and all your stuff in shades of orange, green, pink or purple only (guilty mine is pink and green)

look an airplane

when we went down to the shop (yes my favorite place in the world) this big airplane flew over so i said "hi airplane! Where you going? oh, you going see gak, oh, nana going to the park ok? tell gak nana going to the park ok? bye airplane come back soooooooon."

yes, i look innocent

mummy says that i am going through the terrible twos! but i am not sure what she means

i love going to ayi shop just down the road, mainly because they give me sweeties and things for free but also they have a sand pit outside that i can play in for hours yeeeahh

nana and mummy went to the shop on saturday night and i found this great new sweetie, its called M&Ms but it is in a little tube that makes a great noise when you shake it. with one in each hand i started to dance round and round the coca cola display, that was fun but then i gave two to mummy and two to ayi and asked (mummy says demanded) that they dance round behind me and i made them all sing "twinkle twinkle little nana"

everytime another grown up came into the shop mummy and ayi stopped dancing but i just kept on going until "mummy, nana needs peepee now!"

so mummy takes my hand and we run out of the shop as she starts to pull down my pants i say "no mummy, nana can do it!" so i do then squat down at the side of the road to pee pee but then it wasnt a pee pee i needed it was a poo poo!

so i am squatting outside of the shop with my bumbum up in the air pushing like mad and mummy says "tiana, is that a pee pee or a poo poo?" i say "poo poo pee pee mummy" so i do a really big poo poo and then realise that i need a tissue and start shouting "tissue mummy TISSUE!" so mummy has to run into ayis shop again get a tissue while my bumbum is still pointing up in the air by the side of the road next to this huge poo!

when we were leaving the shop later mummy said she had to have a beer before she went to bed cause she was really tired, i dont know why!

dance like this mummy

no mummy you are doing it wrong! this is how you dance!
