Moved to www.TheBishopsNest.com

We have moved our family website to www.TheBishopsNest.com


 


Daycare:


Mami never goes to Tati's daycare, because I told you that the daycare is inside daddy's work. But daddy had to go to LA last month so mami ended up doing a 3 hour drive in total. When you open the picture look at Tati's face on the first box.
This is so Tati. She loves bears and her blanket. She knows how to put the bear to sleep, not so good with putting herself to sleep. There have been few days when everyone is sound asleep and she runs around the daycare, full of energy. Barry has been a witness of all this.
Then the main boss comes out of her office and feeds the chicks with crackers.
Tati decides to take me on a tour. She shows me where she reads her favorite books.
Then she takes me to the bathroom to show me the stickers she has on her sheet.
And here is the other classroom for older kids. There are 3 classrooms and a nursery. The nursery is for infants-12 months old.

First Day of Daycare

Te merkuren me date 21 Shatator, 2011 ishte dita e pare e cerdhes/kopeshtit per Tatianen. Te tre ne u cuam heret ne oren 7. Nderrova pampersin TT-s, i dhashe cereal per mengjes, e vesha rehat qe mos te kete siklet kur te luaj dhe e dorezova ne duart e babi Barryt. Rruges kishte ngrene prap ceral dhe kishte pire shishen e qumeshtit. Kopeshti qe do shkoi eshte brenda ne kompanine e Barry-t, quhet La Petite Academy, ky eshte website. Sapo e kishte lene Barry ja kishte plasur te qarit per rreth 15 min. Pastaj nuk e kishte kerkuar me gjate dites. Kishte ngrene pak dreke, nuk kishte flejtur dhe kishte kercyer me shoqet. Kur kishte shkuar Barry ne oren 5 ta merrte, ja kishte plasur te qarit perseri. Sepse ndjehej e braktisur. Biri vogel. Sa kishte hypur ne makine gjume direkte. Kur erdha une nga puna ishte ne dhomen e vet duke bere nani-nani. Prita dhe nje ore dhe u zgjua. Te nesermen e njejta rutine pervec se kete here e zgjuam ne ne mengjes. Nuk e kishte pelqyer faktin qe Barry e kishte "braktisur" ne mengjes. Kishte vizatuar, luajtur me rere, me kukulla, kercyer, ngene, biles edhe flejtur gjume. Shkon Barry per ta marre, ja kishte plasur te qarit. Vetem se kete here donte te rrinte ne kopesht. E TMERRSHME!!! Po, po e lexuat shume mire. Nuk donte te ikte nga kopeshti. Kjo gje me ben te dyshoj se cfare lloj prinderish paskemi qene ne te dy qe femija heren e dyte ne kopesht, qan se s'do te vije ne shtepi! Kulmi!

Happy 2nd Birthday TT


Gezuar 2 vjetorin Tatiana!!! Happy 2nd Birthday TT!!!

We (daddy) decided to have an intimate birthday this year. This time he didn't want to have too many people. It was Monday, so right after work we came home and lighted the candle. This cake had a secret ingredient "LOVE". Both grandmas prepared the wonderful dinner for all 7 of us! In each-other's company we had the best birthday. If you haven't guessed it yet it's a volcano cake just like TT (on fire).
Don't let this picture fool you. She was really in a good mood. Tati looks like is thinking "What I'm 2 already? Man I'm getting old!"
Grandparents time.

Turn off the lights...
She was so fast at blowing the candle that I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it. And the funny part is that nobody told her to blow. She couldn't resist playing with fire.
So we reenacted the scene again.
First bite of the cake.
And feet on the table...

Diten e ditelindjes me te vertete qe ka qene nje zjarr i vertete. Aq shume eshte kenaqur duke fikur qiririn e kekut sa ja ndezem disa here. Nuk pushonte se qeshuri dhe se perkedheluri me ne te gjithe ne. Ka nje zakon te mire qe nuk ben dallime. Ne momentin qe e mban me te mira nenen shkon direkte te preheri tates dhe e puth. Cdo dite e shikoj dhe mendoj sa e lumtur jam qe e kam ne jeten time. Nuk e kisha menduar kurre qe do me jepte kaq shume dashuri! Jeta me te ka marre kuptim!

Pool time

We are back at our summer routine. Every Monday most of the Mom's group goes at Denise's pool.

She loves being around Downa and other kids. But when it comes to sharing let's just put it this way: She struggles with it.
This is the guilty face. I finally caught it on camera. This is what I get when TT has done something she knows she is not allowed to do. Let me give some examples: Walking around the house with Mami's shoes on; Going to the bathroom and stealing Mami's make-up (if she puts it on, is considered double-trouble); Taking Nena's glasses (yesterday she broke them); Typing on our new I-Pad (I don't care anymore about our PC's or I-Phones) and the list goes on.
Eating healthy chips. She is really enjoying them because I don't let her eat chips or sweets like candy or chocolate or ice-cream. Geez, now that I mentioned them I realized that by all means I am NOT a fun Mom !
She loved being by herself.

Can't believe how grown up she looks in this picture. Standing by herself in the pool!! I could not be any prouder of her. I don't get heart attacks anymore when she approaches the pool. Don't misunderstand me, I'm still watching her, but now by my comfy pool chair.
Larry stuffing his mouth full of crepes. I do the same to TT.

Santa Cruz [Part I]

Well before we start with our adventure in Santa Cruz I wanted to get something off my chest. What's up with the 2 year olds being so protective over their stuff?! When Tatiana get's up she will have her blankie with her and during the day if she sees it she will shout from wherever place she's at "mee meee meee, mine, mine, mine." Then it continues with her sippy cup, toys, spoon, fork, TV remote control, shoes, you name it! You know when they say "You got to choose your battles" I really don't know what battle to choose with her. Maybe I'll go surf the internet and come up with something that will work for us.


For 4th of July weekend we went to Santa Cruz Boardwalk, which is the best!! It's like a Disneyland for toddlers.
But first let's go to the beach. If I smile I get to watch Caillou. So here we go, take 1.
Take 2.
Take 3.
And Shabam Mom!! Hah I tricked you good. I've had with you and your ridiculous pictures.

Finally I get to enjoy the beach all by myself.
hummm I kind of want to do something different...
Yup this will do it.
Nossy as the rest of the family.
Totally my girl... give them boys an attitude!!
What happened?! Ohhh she's got a lot of Barry doze in her. So friendly and ready to help out!
Aaaaand now she's claiming it her territory. That little boy already knows he better back off on time!
That's what life is all about, yup.... being a lazy bum!
Ahhh I can't complain fellas, life's gooood!!!
After the beach we went to the boardwalk.

Ehhh doesn't impress me... I've seen better!
Okay let me give Mom what she wants so hopefully she will disappear. Wait, dreams don't come true do they?
I knew it... she's back!!!

The weather in the bay area is almost perfect. Hot during the day and cool at night. That's why we got our jackets on. If it's after 6 PM you better have a little something over your shoulders.

Chucky Cheese's with Nena, Tata & the Twins

Tatiana is 23 months old and is only a month shy from her 2nd birthday. She speaks Albanian and English. Let me write down some of the words : Uji, Buke, cheese, buki for book, cookie, Cereal, kaka, A B C, 1, 2, 3, hape, opa, What's this, that, yes and her favorite NO. I can't remember all the words she says but she understands most of the things we tell her to do. Like for example when mami is lazy tells TT to push the TV button or to bring the remote control and she's always willing to help. Not because she wants to watch her favorite shows!

She loves fruits. Giver bananas, pears, peaches, watermelon, strawberries, you name it, she will scarf it down in a matter of seconds. Pasta is her favorite dish and she eats it with a spoon. Lets not talk about the beach. She is totally a beach-bun! Loves to go in the water. Ohhh and you got to listen to her singing. Mami, nena and tata get all crazy in the car especially when we take long trips. Thats when we all sing albanian folk music. TT nods her head to when she hears music going on, then she starts shaking her tushie. Tatiana is way to friendly. She says hi almost to anyone in the store, streets, mall, wherever we are she will start smiling at strangers and waves hi. At least she doesn't blow kisses without mami's approval. When she gives Tata a kiss she runs quickly to grandma and gives her a kiss also. She knows how to not offend people feelings. TT also loves to take pictures. She even says "cheeeese" and then strikes a pose. I am certainly convinced that any photographer would love to take pictures of her because of the enthusiasm and the cooperation she shows during a photo shoot. It makes it easier on me.

TT loves to drive cars but this is the closest she will get to drive one until she's 16.
Barney is her first cartoon love. She still loves the "Airplane" song and the "I love you" song. Now she's into Caillou.
Keeping it classy with a salad. Yea right who are you lying to, thats why after Chucky Cheese's we went to a chinese buffet.
She can barely touch the table but she is pro at sports.
I can't look at this picture and not chuckle. Look how hard she's trying to reach at the basketball hoop. She gives it all.
Watch out Alyssah TT is after your sister.
Alyssah stop playing in the background, I told you TT is going to steal your sister and she did!

Nena & Tata
Let's play some more. They did some damage in this b-ball game. Unstoppable!!!
