Animales

This evening, while playing with her puzzles, she got into “teacher mode”.  I love hearing her speak Spanish.  She’s asking “Como se llama?” (What is this called?) and then labeling each animal in Spanish.

Princessa

This evening, Janie took a blanket and walked around with it around her chest.  When Mommy said, “I like your pretty dress”, she said “I’m a princessa.”

So, Mommy helped tie it on one shoulder and she wore it around for at least an hour saying “I’m a princessa. It’s Spanish.”  Where is she learning this stuff?!  Must be school.

Mama: “Do you want to go buy fruta or do something else today?”

Janie: “Something else.”

Mama: “What do you want to do then?”

Janie had an extra-special evening with Daddy today.  After we got home from the mall, she got to watch TV and snack on popcorn with him.

She was also a good girl and went to brush her teeth after the show was over and fell asleep just minutes after that.

Conversation

Janie (to Mama and Dada): He gets wet.

When we got home from school, Janie changed into her underwear and thought it would be more fun to play without pants but in Mommy’s shoes.  She also took out her notebook and started drawing.  When I asked her what she was doing, she said “pintar” and “pintamos”.  That’s Spanish for “to paint or draw” and “we paint/draw”, respectively.  The drawing turned out to be a self-portrait.

She rode her tricycle to Supercuts where Daddy was getting his hair cut.

Janie ate all the celery off Daddy’s plate and then asked the waitress for “more celery, please”.  IMG_2134

There’s something about celery and ranch dressing that gets her so excited.
