mosquito bite= swollen eye

On Saturday morning the 26th, senorita woke up with a swollen eye. Here's a photo of that day, just above, and the day after which is the photo on top. It improved by Sunday, the 27th. She'd received several (many??!!) mosquito bites on her neck as we walked on Saturday afternoon.

espejo pequeno, espejo grande

She was "wash hands" in the bathroom sink which means she was sitting on the bathroom counter with her feet in the sink and hands under the water as I stood behind her. She noticed the little mirror like part of the towel hook and said "espejo pequeno" and then to the big bathroom mirror: espejo grande! I was so excited to hear this language development.

I love you!

She's been saying I LOVE YOU in such a cute voice. I reply "yo te amo" but she won't say it in Spanish. She tells the neighbor's lawn animals [by the fish fountain that's in the previous posts pictures with the princess and Saints dress] I love you rana (frog)... etc... and has to give a kiss to all the statue animals-dog, raccoon, 2 turtles, various frogs, snail.

She cried today because she thought she saw a dog (from the car) when we were picking up B from school and cried and cried to see the dog "I go see doggie" so when we got home I had to take her to the neighbor's, knock on the door, and ask to see their dogs (because the fish and pretend dog weren't cutting it today).

feeding the "amimals"

She has taken a particular liking to a certain cat stuffed animal (that belongs to Bobby's child anyway) and an old panda of mine. She had to put them at the table and feed them; they had to have a bowl and fork. And they have clothes on. She also likes to put all the Dora, etc dolls/people "seepin" (sleeping) under the white blanket. And she loves this monkey towel. On another note, an April entry showed some toys she didn't like.Well, now she's ok with all of those toys and all of her dolls which she kisses and bathes and holds sometimes.

princess, cheerleader, and soccer player, TKD

Senorita likes to go to a neighbor's house and look for the goldfish (Romeo) in the pond/tank in the picture. We took pictures there this week. Also B had his first soccer game in Slidell.

She's saying lots of new words in English and spanish and repeating many things now. Wha dat? Que eshto? uv oo (love you) grashus (gracias) chee cho (thank you), de nada.

she likes to wear B's taekwondo equipment too.

besitos

Oh she was so cute this morning as she played with her animals. She put some aside and said each one was sleeping. buff woof seeping, bay seeping, caballo seeping... and when she picked up the bears (bay) she kissed them sweetly and softly. her little voice is so sweet and she is saying more words now IN ENGLISH still. But I repeat everything in Spanish and sometimes she says it in spanish after me and sometimes she refuses. She says "read boochs" (books), "hold you" but will repeat "carga'me" and smile. She says "shhh, Baba seeping" and "i uv you" And she loves to go to the beach.
