This morning when we dropped Ariyana off at school, her teacher looked at me and said quietly you know ariyana is so smart, she is the smartest kid in the class. She also told us that Ariyana has surpassed the comprehension of their classroom curriculum. Zach and I thought that was pretty awesome.

They are having a Valentine party at her school next friday and we are in charge of bringing strawberry syrup so that they can have pink milk…..is that cute. You know what else is really cool that they are doing?? On Valentine’s Day (sat) for $25 dollars, you can drop your kid off from 5-10 and that way you and your significant other can go out and celebrate. They will provide dinner for the children and play games with them. I think that is a really good idea.

Overall, she had a pretty good day, it was pretty uneventful….she is talking more and more every day but you still can’t understand her. It won’t be long though and i am sure she will be saying real words.

FIRST WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 November 17, 2008

All day long on Sunday, we would say “hi” to Ariyana and she would say it back….and we were just so excited that she was saying that.  Well then after Zach gave her a bath, he was putting on her pjs on the changing table and he was saying “baby” to her over and over again.  We have been trying to get her to say baby for a little while now but with no success.  Well then out of nowhere she says “baby.”  Zach got so excited, I could hear him yelling in the kitchen.  He kept saying, “she said baby, she said baby.”  I told him that was awesome and I wanted to hear her say it to.  He brought her down in the living room and she was playing on her rocking snail and Zach was sitting in front of her saying baby over and over.  Well she said it again and again and again.  I ran and got the camera……so excited that she had said her first word besides hi.  I thought for sure she wouldn’t say it again since I got the camera.  But to my surprise, she said it again TWICE while the video was rolling!!!!!  The first one wasn’t that clear on video, but the second one was AWESOME and below you can hear it.
