Top Ten Phrases

1. Spanglish for "Buzz Lightyear" is "Bahajar" according to Juan. (It took us awhile to figure this one out)

2. "I did it!" is Andrew's new favorite thing to say when he does something like put his own clothes on or take them off.

3. "Me no like" - what Maicol says about any food he has never tasted.

4. "Cuando jo bigger" (when I'm bigger) - followed by something specific Juan wants to do, but isn't old enough yet.

5. There is no end to questions about which animals are "nice", which animal is stronger, which animal will eat the other, which animal is faster, etc. (mostly from Maicol)

6. "Cuando Jonathan?" and "Cuando Bethany?" - they ask multiple times a day when one or the other is coming.

7. "Feel this." Maicol has been lifting weights to build his biceps. After one day he is convinced they are increasing in size. We have to check the muscles daily and the muscles of his brothers.

8. "Juan Pablo, listen to Mama!" Maicol has been saying this lately to try to keep Juan out of trouble.

9. "Kitchen?" "Cereal?" The first question of the day - meaning 'Is it too early to get up? Should I go back to bed or go to the kitchen?' and 'Are you going to get up and fix us eggs or is it cereal for breakfast?'.

10. "Mail?" - meaning "Will we be getting a new movie from Netflix today?"

Kisses for Papa.

Ah, how cute. Love the Spanglish. We have a lot of that going--probably more than we realize. We all understand each other, right?
