Ilona's words

We made a list today of all the words Ilona can say. She understands many more (and we probably forgot a few). You will notice an abundance of animals, the most famous muppet and lots of words that start with 'B'. The most used ones are probably 'uh oh' whenever anything 'falls' on the floor, 'no', accompanied with a shake of the head, when anything is offered, and 'mine' whenever she sees anything she wants. Also, she likes to touch our coffee mugs in the morning, and say 'hot', and stand by the door, opening and shutting it and saying 'door'. 'Nose' and 'eyes' are usually accompanied by a small hand moving rapidly towards the relevant feature of your face, and 'bye' is said every time anyone leaves (including other passengers from the tram).
