Parnia played harmonica well when she had 17 months. i recorded a short film while she was palying harmonica. i donot think she became a musician but i am sure that most of kids at her age can not do it. she is sensetive to musical instruments and i think it is sign for her interest to learning how to play any instrument. 

She is growing just in front of my eyes. i don't know why i feel she has gotten older since 3 days ago. She can understand my feeling either i am happy or sad. if she does something wrong, she understands by the way i aware her. She also can recognize all people she meets daily such her managers in her nursery, etc.

she dances well with music and moves her hands and steps her feet and turns arounds while dancing. i think her english understanding is improving because she imitates role palyers in kid music on satellite  for instance she nodes her head when claps her hands and steps her feet when she listens song asks her to do them.

she also can follow my orders well for example when i ask her to draw on paper she does. one day she came to me and asked me to open the lid of pen to draw (with body language) and i told her to draw just on paper, she picked the pen and run toward her case to pick up a piece of paper. after some minutes she came back with hands were drew. i became angry and said " i asked you to draw just on paper, didn't i?" she understood i was angry so threw the pen and went while she was crying. when i hugged her afterthen it seemed she was waiting and embraced me too.

We bought a musical toy car for Parnia yesterday. when she got on it in the shop, she started riding it and she did not get off it to be checked for deliver. while its seller was putting its batteries she watched him carefully and speaking some word in her language and when all was over the seller said "can you let me get on behaind you". "No",Parnia replied by noding his head.

i don't understand if she agreed because she watches english program most of the time. noding in our culture means NO but it means Yes in english language. who knows what she meaned really.

Happy new year, (Norooz)! Parnia just came back from new year holiday. during holiday she improved social relationship through playing with other relative's kids and adults. she also learned some more body images and words for communicating.

 today she was alone with her partents at home. a hard day for all. she spent her time on watinching her favourite DVDs such as Magic English and palying with her toys and dalls.  

Parnia started walking but she often is on all fours, especially when she is going to reach something fast. She is going to cut teeth again. It is turn to her cuspids. She has a cold since last Tuesday and this made her lazy in walking. She has stayed home for 6 days. Today she showed me the door for twice and at last I planned to go out her. We went to the park in the neighborhood.  On the way I bought something for her to eat in park. We sat down on a bench while watching children. She was eating popcorn when a child asked her few of them. She offered her and then started eating them fast. I was interested her behavior because she hold the packet in a hand and picking them with the other hand while leaning on me. After some minutes we went to hike and she swayed somehow. While she was swaying slowly she fell asleep. She was really sweet. I had to carry her to home and she was sleeping on the way.
