Adibaby

On Shabbos Adi woke up at night. Instead of trying to put her back to sleep, I let her come out and join the seuda. One of the foods I put on her plate was butternut squash. It was hot, and I told her so. We blew on it together to cool it off, and Adel was saying, "Ot! Ot!"

The next day she surprised me. I took some of the same butternut squash, now cold, and handed it to her. She shook her head side to side and said, "Uh-uh" (the sound for no. It's her latest trick, and I love it!) and then she explained to me why she doesn't want it: "Ot!"
I was so proud how she remembered that it was hot and was able to communicate to me that she didn't want it and why.

Right now she is listening to a CD we haven't put on in a while. It's an exercise CD and there are motions to go with the songs. And after several months on not hearing this CD, she remembers some of the motions!
