Just thought I would post some of what Naomi says. It is getting easier to understand, but is still hard to decipher at times. Anyway on to it......
"isa ned mey spi up"..............I need my spit cup
"wey Daday ata al da icrem"...........Why did Daddy eat all the ice cream?
"Isa ney go beck to Ibia,cus the dog meese mey, ain yo to Mama".......because the dog will miss me and you too Mama.I don't want to go back to Liberia
"eet oll fa mey cus isa bootefal".........Its all for me because I am beautiful!
"isa fid did dog and he be sa fet..so so fet".......i will feed this dog and he will be so so fat...(about our chihuahua Tabitha).
"Mey black ma no wdar dat...eet note feet her, she hav no shays".....My black ma cannot wear that because it does not fit her, she has no shoes.
"isa luv yo trooly Mama, you gid mey sa minee dols"....I love you truely Mama, you give me so many dolls.
"Isa starveen, Isa so hungy, Isa will dee witoot da candy"....I am starving, I am so hungry, I will die with out the candy ( When I refused to give her a second sucker)
This kid is a hoot. She loves to dance, pretend, play her drum and whine...all girl!
Love ya,
Jen

Is it taking a few time of her repeating to understand what she is saying? Does she understand you ok?
I love the update!

Marcus' Mom to be
Sounds like Addie... I'll die without the candy... hah!
Naomi can understand everything we say. She responds to pretty much everything we say correctly. Some things she says I can understand right away, others I cannot. I tell her when I cannot understand and she will say " I show you" and does just that. She is very good at commuicating and has the best sense of humor. At first I could not understand much, but after being with her 24/7 for over a week it is much easier!
Jen, I'm so excited for you guys. I've been catching up on your recent blogs and was in tears as I read the story from the airport. I can't imagine the gammet of emotions you must have felt and are still feeling. She looks so happy and comfortable with you and the kids. I look forward to watching all of your kiddies grow through pictures. Thank you for sharing all of the fun details!
Keep these up! I LOVE the Liberian accent. . I was pretty proud of myself for "getting them right" most of the time. . it was like doing a game show. . "Guess that phrase"!

These made me cry. I would love to hear her for real, but since you're in Michigan now and not Alabama anymore, I don't guess that's possible :o) It sounds like you two are bonding beautifully. What a blessing.
Love, Missy
I miss you girl...
I'm so happy for you that your
little girl is home sweet home..
