Addison's First Doll {and Russian 101}

Awhile ago, I talked about dealing with the language barrier after we get Addison home. I bought a dolly that speaks Russian {her name is Kukla}, as well as a Russian lullaby CD. I got them in the mail the other day ... and here is Kukla ...
Push Kukla's belly and she says ...

"Privet" - Hello
"Ulybnees" - Smile
"Ya Tebya Lyublyu" - I love you
"Davai Druzhit" - Let's be friends
"Poigrai So Mnoi" - Play with me

Oook, how in the heck do you pronounce some of this stuff?! I've got some learning to do!

I know that "I Love You" sounds a little bit like
"Ya Tribya La-blue" That's about as close as I can get to putting it in English for you. You have to roll the R and the L.
