TOP 10 WORDS OR PHRASES USED BY THE BAKER BOYS:
10. I don't know. (when Maicol can't remember how to say something in Spanish:)
9. No comprendo. (when they don't like what Mama or Papa says)
8. Me no like! (when we have something to eat they've never tried before)
7. Bichicle? (when they want to go out to ride bikes - no matter what the weather)
6. Cuando snow? or Por que no snow? (When is it going to snow or why hasn't it snowed?)
5. Mira or Look Andres! (Look at what Andres is doing to get into trouble.)
4. Just a minute. (when Maicol isn't ready to get off the computer or Andres repeats it
when it is said to him)
3. Chi chi (gotta go to the potty - combined with the grabbing of the crotch)
2. Mine (whenever anyone even looks at something that belongs to them)
1. Don't touch! (used 100 times a day by everyone in the family, but primarily when "mine" doesn't work)
They use more English everyday and I am afraid in the process are forgetting their Spanish. Maicol is beginning to have trouble recalling words in Spanish. Juan still uses Spanish primarily, but is beginning to mix in some English without being prompted. Andres just repeats whatever he hears.
We are anticipating our first measurable snowfall tonight. The boys are really counting on the weatherman to be right, so I hope he is this time (although I do not look forward to driving to work in the morning in it).
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Hi, Hope you got as much snow as we did. At least 4 inches. Wish I could see the boys as they experience it. It's definately frios. Phil called a while ago and says he hopes he can get his knee replacement before the end of the year. Dan, how are your feet doing? Karen, be safe as you drive. Love, Mom
that list sounds so familiar. How funny. "Ya-already" is another one we hear alot. Camila sort of makes it into one word. "Did we ya-already do this?"
Oh, and we are all green with envy over your forecast of snow. :)
