I started Pre-School today / Bugun okula basladim

I've been too busy playing so I haven't updated my blog in a while. I apologize to all my fans. I started pre-school today at the Myers Park Baptist Church's Through the Week School. There are 7 friends and 2 teachers in the class with me. Anne and Miss Taryn dropped me off at 9am, and came to get me at 10.15am. I didn't want to leave the school. My friends stayed until 12.20pm. Anne told me that I can stay until 12.20 on Thursday, today was short because it was my first day. We played, had a snack, and then played some more. I don't remember all of my friends' names yet.

Cok mesgulum bu aralar, oyun oynamak butun zamanimi aliyor, sizlere yazamadim uzun zamandir. Butun hayranlarimdan ozur diliyorum. Bugun okula basladim. Myers Park Baptist Kilise'sinin okulu bu. Sinifimda 7 tane arkadasim ve 2 ogretmenim var. Annemle Miss Taryn birakti beni bu sabah saat 9'da, ama 10.15'te gelip aldilar. Ben okuldan ayrilmak istemedim. Butun arkadaslarim 12.20'ye kadar kaldilar. Persembe gunu ben de 12.20'ye kadar kalabilecekmisim. Oyunlar oynadik ve ufak bir mama yedik. Sonra bir daha oyunlar oynadik. Arkadaslarimin isimlerini daha tam ezberleyemedim ama.

Bath time

Anne took a shower while I played in the bathtub. I can splash really well now. So I made daddy all wet. I don't like it when it's time to get out of the water. I say "bah bah" to the water when it's time to go. This outfit was a gift from Lerzan Yenge's mom and dad. I look great in it.

Annem dus yapti, ben de banyoda oynadim. Cok guzel su sicratiyorum herkese, daddy'i bir guzel islattim. Banyonun bitmesi hosuma gitmiyor ama, cikarken birazcik uzuluyorum. Suya "Bah bah" diyip cikiyorum. Bu bornozu Lerzan Yenge'nin annesi ve babasi verdi. Cok yakismis di mi?

I'm starting to play a litte too fast / Birazcik hizli oynamaya basladim

My Anne says that I'm starting to play a little too fast sometimes, so I fall and hurt myself. See what happened to my face last weekend? I was running after Bladen, I tripped on a little twig. I cried for 10 seconds but then Bladen's mom gave me a popsicle and everything was great again.

Annemin dedigine gore birazcik fazla hizli oynamaya baslamisim. Bakin gecen haftasonu suratima ne oldu? Bladen'i kovaliyordum, bir sopaya basip kaydim, suratimi yere carptim ve surttum. 10 saniye agladim ama Bladen'in annesi bana meyvali buz verdi ve hersey cok guzel oldu yine :).

Life's Good/ Hayat cok guzel

This weekend we played a lot. My parents decided that I needed only 1 nap for day, but I disagreed and yelled at them about this. I overheard them say that I'll get back to my 2 naps tomorrow. All the hissy fits did help get my way... Life's good again.

Tomorrow Daddy is going on a business trip again to Colorado Springs. He'll be back on Thursday. He better be back because it is an important day, Anne and Daddy got married 4 years ago that day. I don't really understand what that means but I have a feeling that it's a good thing.

This Tuesday is Dede's 61st birthday. Wow! I'm not even 16 months old yet, so I really don't know what it means to be 61. I wonder if Anneanne got him any nice toys for his birthday like Anne and Daddy got me toys for my birthday.

Bu haftasonu yine cok oynadik. Annemle Daddy gunde sadece 1 uykuyla yetinebilecegimi dusunup deneme yaptilar, ben onlara bagirdim o yuzden. Ama yarin normale (2 uyku) donecegiz yine. heyo! Samatalarim ise yaradi...

Yarin Daddy is gezisine Colorado Springs'e gidiyor. Persembe gunu donecekmis. Annemle Daddy'nin 4. evlilik yildonumleriymis o gun. Ne demek oldugunu bilmiyorum ama cok iyi birsey sanirim.

Bu persembe Dedemin dogumgunu (61inci). Ben 16 aylik bile degilim daha, 61 yasin nasil birsey olacagini hic bilemiyorum. Herhalde Anneannem ona guzel oyuncaklar almistir yasgunu icin. Annemle Daddy bana oyuncak vermislerdi yasgunumde...

Anne and Daddy are back / Anneyle Daddy geri geldi

I was just getting used to being kissed and spoiled by Nana and Grandad, but Anne and Daddy came back. They said they missed me a lot and gave me lots of kisses and hugs. I kissed them too, and hugged them. I sat on Anne's lap for a while to make her happy. I think she liked it a lot. But they still won't let me play with the remote controls and cell phones. I don't understand what the big deal is, all I want to do is to change the channels and call my anneanne and dede on the phone.

Anne decided that I look pretty with a bow in my hair. I told her that I don't like things on my head but let her be happy for about 10 minutes before I took off the bow to see what it tastes like. It tastes fine but I prefer bananas. What do you think of my bow?

Tam Nana ve Grandad tarafindan simartilmaya alisiyordum ki Anneyle Daddy donduler is gezilerinden. Beni cok ozlemisler. Bol bol opup sarildilar. Ben de onlari optum ve sarildim. Annemin kucaginda oturdum bir sure, sanirim hosuna gitti, beni opup durdu. Ama hala uzaktan kumandalarla ve cep telefonlariyla oynamama izin vermiyorlar. Ne kadar degerli seyler, halbuki ben televizyonun kanalini degistirmek ve anneannemle dedemi aramak istiyorum telefonla.

Annem sacima kurdele takmayi cok istedi, sirin gorunuyormusum. Ama biliyorsunuz, kafamda birsey olmasina pek dayanamiyorum. Yine de onu mutlu etmek icin 10 dakika kafamda kalmasina izin verip sonra cikarttim. Tadina baktim. Fena degil ama ben muzu tercih ediyorum. Sizce nasil olmus kurdelem?

Free at last / Nihayet Serbestim!!!

Anne and Daddy are going to Sweden for a business trip. They're leaving today and will be back 10 days later! Whoa, all that free time to play! I'm free at last. Nana and Grandad and Nanny Reese will give me water, milk, food; change my diapers; give me baths; and take me to a lot of really fun places! I am looking forward to this.

Annemle Daddy 10 gunlugune is gezisine Isvec'e gidiyorlar. Bugun yola cikiyorlar. Ne guzel, oynayacak cok zamanim olacak. Nihayet serbestim. Babannemle dedem, ve nanny Reese bana sut, su, mama verecekler; bezimi degistirecekler; banyo yaptiracaklar; ve beni cok eglenceli yerlere goturecekler. Ne guzel!

Let me tell you about my vacation / Tatilimi anlatayim

About a month ago I went to Turkey to see my grandparents. I took my mommy and daddy too. I had so much fun. We went swimming, we ate fish, I met my mother's cousins, aunts, and grandmother. We went on a blue cruise (on a boat!!), I went swimming. I had an earache and I cried a little. Then I decided to get 2 more molars. It's not good to sit still just because you're on a vacation...

Bir ay once Anneannemle Dedemi gormeye Turkiye'ye gittim. Annemle babami da goturdum. Cok eglendim. Denize girdik, balik yedik, annemin kuzenleri, teyzeleri, anneannesiyle tanistim. Mavi yolculuga ciktik, denize girdim. Kulagim agridi, agladim. Iki tane yeni azi disi cikarmaya basladim. Tatil diye bos durmadik, surekli gezdik!!!

Lerzan (my aunt) and Berke (my uncle) came too. We played together. I constantly pressured them to make me a cousin. They said that they will sometime soon. They took me swimming too. But they can't float as well as I can.

Lerzan Yengemle Berke Dayim da geldi, beraber oynadik. Onlara hadi bana kuzen yapin artik diye baski yaptim. Yapacagiz yakinda dediler. Benimle yuzduler onlar da. Ama benim kadar iyi duramiyorlar suyun uzerinde.

Nana and Grandad are here / Babaannemle Dedem burada

My Nana and Grandad came to see me from Canada. They are sooo much fun to play with. I hope that they can stay forever.

Kanada'dan babaannemle dedem geldi. Cok egleniyoruz birlikte. Hep burada kalsinlar istiyorum.
