november videos

Interesting conversations:
video 1:
'guo lai zuo zai zheli, hao ma?...' (come over and sit here, okay?)
....Baby doll....guo lai...'

'Don't take cell phone from me....
...please don't video me mommy...'

This was November 19th, it was around this time she really did not like me videoing her. And one day outside it dawned on me as she had the same reaction from people taking her picture with their cell phone. We use a FlipVideo, it is very tiny and you hold it to video like you do a cell phone. I think she just equated the two and didn't like it. By the way, if I could promote anything it would be the FlipVideo, our best purchase by far. love it, worth every penny.



video 2:
when answering what she did with Xiao Chen (her tutor) she answers:
'stand up on my bed (a no-no)....sit up on table and looked at not some 'geges' but gezi....xiao niaos (little birds) on the tree...one...two...'

her mix of languages here is interesting, and how she makes sure we understand what she is talking about, she is probably completely repeating what her tutor told her about the difference between 'gege' (pronounced guhguh) and 'gezi' (guhzi), 'gege' means big brother, and 'gezi' means pigeon or dove, but they are the same tone. They were most certainly looking at birds as she later says 'xiao niao' which means little birds.
