Translating for daycare

Today my daycare provider asked me to do some translations for my 20 month old girl.
I thought about using the correct pinyin. However, I decided the best thing to do was make it as easy as possible so they don't have to worry about tones.

So here goes nothing.

* We walk inside. We can run outside.
nee-men zoh zoh. why men pow pow
Pinyin: nǐmiàn zǒuzǒu. wàimiàn pǎo pǎo

* We take turns with our toys.
ee-chee wan
Pinyin: Yīqǐ wán

*We use nice touches when playing with our friends
shaw-shing moh-moh
Pinyin: xiǎoxīn mōmō

It was very hard not to put in the chinese tones in and pronounce it with the sh sounds!
