Ad Arya non piace quando canto…
…………….
Arya doesn’t like when I sing …
Arya was at Nonna’s yesterday and Daniele forgot to bring back her potty. She refused to do pucca without her potty – I tried everything, getting her to sit on the big toilet, cutting out a potty out of a cardboard box but it always ended with “ithe pucca nahi”…
What was funny was watching the joy on Arya’s face when Nonna walked in the door this morning with her precious potty… Who would have thunk it?!
Thanks to the generous gift from a non-anonymous donor (thanks Punya!!), Arya has received an XO laptop like the ones used in the One Laptop Per Child program which is trying to send laptops to developing countries. She’s having a ball!

Grazie al generoso regalo di un donatore non anonimo (grazie Punya!!), Arya ha ricevuto un laptop XO, esattamente quello che il programma One Laptop Per Child manda ai paesi del terzo mondo. Ci si sta divertendo un sacco!
Ieri Arya ha imparato la frase piu’ importante… 🙂
…………….
Yesterday Arya has learned the most important sentence… (it means “yes daddy” in italian)
After having been sick for a week, Arya was back a daycare. Donna and Tracy didn’t really believe that we were serious when we told them that Arya was potty trained during the day. When I went to pick her up they were quite stunned… 🙂
…………..
Dopo essere stata male un asettimana, Arya e’ tornata al nido. Donna e Tracy non credevano che fossimo seri quando gli abbiamo detto che Arya ormai non aveva piu’ bisogno del pannolino durante il giorno. Quando sono andato a prenderla la sera erano basite … 🙂
Since I started asking Arya if she wanted one piece of cheese or two, she has started understanding how numbers work….
…………..
Da quando ho iniziato a chiedere a Arya se vuole un pezzo di formaggio o due, ha iniziato a capire come funzionano i numeri….
Singing Happy Birthday has been taking priority over everything: eating, sleeping, playing… She sings happy birthday even when going to the potty. She sings happy birthday when she wakes up in the morning, and she sang it for an hour and a half in her crib at daycare instead of sleeping. Daniele tried to sing it in Italian, but Arya insists that he’s wrong and that’s not the way to sing it.
…………….
Cantare Happy Birthday e’ diventata la cosa piu’ importante ultimamente: piu’ di mangiare, dormire, giocare… Canta Happy Birthday anche quando sta sul vasino. Lo canta la mattina quando si sveglia e l’ha cantato per un’ora e mezza al nido nell sua culla invece di dormire. Daniele ha provato a cantarlo in italiano, ma Arya insiste che sta sbagliando e non si canta cosi’.
Arya with great concentration drew this today! You can tell what proud parents we must be to go on and publish this masterpiece… but seriously… even objectively… no?
………………….
Con grande concentrazione e determinazione oggi Arya ha disegnato questo! Si vede che dobbiamo essere genitori molto fieri per pubblicare questo capolavoro… ma seriamente… anche obiettivamente… no?
We all knew that sooner or later we would have started writing about her potty adventures… Finally the other day we started some potty training and it went quite well… she was in the kitchen when she yelled “pipi” and ran to the bathroom to do it on the potty. She was so proud of herself, that when Radhika came back, Arya took her to see how good she had been.
…………
Lo sapevamo tutti che prima o poi avremmo iniziato a scrivere delle sue avventure sul vasino… Finalmente l’altro giorno abbiamo iniziato a fare un po’ di allenamento senza pannolino ed e’ andato molto bene… era in cucina quando ha urlato ” pipi’ ” ed e’ corsa in bagno a farla sul vasino. Era cosi’ fiera che quando e’ tornata Radhika a casa l’ha portata a vedere quanto era stata brava
