Conversation at our house

Squirt:  "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
D:         "Ven, Squirt, te voy a alimentar."
Squeak: "No, Dada, tu no puedes."
D:          "Por que no?"
Squeak: "Porque no tienes grandes senos."
D:          "Quien tiene senos grandes? Pip, tu tienes senos grandes?"
Pip:        "Si!"
Squeak: "No, Pip no tiene grandes senos!"
D:          "Nena, tu tienes senos grandes?"
Pip:        "Si!"
Squeak: "No! Solo Mami tiene grandes senos."

We're glad we all know where the best food comes from!

Here's the translation (although it's not as funny in English, in my opinion!):

Squirt:  "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

D:         "Come here, Squirt. I'm going to feed you."

Squeak: "No, Dada, you can't."

D:          "Why not?"

Squeak: "Because you don't have bigbreasts."

D:          "Who has big breasts? Pip, do you have big breasts?"

Pip:        "Yeah!"

Squeak: "No, Pip doesn't have bigbreasts!"

D:          "Nena, do you have big breasts?"

Pip:        "Yeah!"

Squeak: "No! Only Mami has bigbreasts."

 Part of the humor of the Spanish version is how Squeak kept saying, "grandes senos" instead of "senos grandes"--it's hard to translate that.

Missing autumn and a little bit o' crack

So glad we had such a lovely autumn. So sad that it's gone! We went for walks every day and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Here are Pip and Squeak enjoying their first autumn in the scrub oak grove across the street. My kids are not good at holding still/posing, and I'm not good at action shots, so they're blurry. Too bad!

 

Other happenings: So my kids speak Spanish as their first language. Well, sometimes there's a word that we don't know in Spanish, so we use the English word and give it a Spanish accent (like Cheerios, for example). D felt like Squeak needed to learn the word "crack" so he taught her that one.

Yesterday I heard some screaming coming from the bathroom. "What's going on," I wondered. "No! No! No, Pip!" I heard, and then this: ""No puedes tocar mi crack!" Then the bathroom door bursts open and Squeak runs out (naked from the waist down) yelling, "Pip, no puedes tocar mi crack!" Pip follows, laughing maniacally and screaming, "Crack! Crack! Crack!" I had to hide my laughter, and I must confess that it totally made my day. Am I a bad mom?
