Counting

Today was a wonderful unexpected and unplanned day out with the kids. We met with our amazing CDL family -friends (Melissa, Aaron, Eli and Quinn) at the Stephenson trail. 

The kids love playing at the little creek there. So, while exploring the creek, Evan was walking and counting: "Uno, tes (tres), otro tes." Melissa was there to witness this, which I thought was very cute, but I need to teach him the numbers in order. My goal is to practice with him and Ethan every day. 

Another thing that was new for Evan this week is being able to recognize his Name, though when he sees it he reads "Tan."

Today was Day 1 of my quarantine period. I was diagnosed yesterday with Covid 19. So, as I was setting my working area and play area for the kids, I was prepping Evan for what to expect for the first half of the morning. I asked him to say "Mami trabaja aquí" he then repeated, "mami 'baja 'qui" then he makes sure to add to what To expect "no 'cuela" no school. Overall, both kiddos behaved for me. The only major thing was Them peeling all the bananas and getting inTo the snack drawer. Fun and learning times.  video link

¿Estoy Guapa?

I asked Evan: Is daddy handsome? ¿Está guapo papi?  He responded,  "está guapo papi." He is handsome. Then I asked if mami was good looking, he then looked at me up and down and then responded, "Mami no guapo, Mami ta sucio." Basically, I'm not good looking and I'm  dirty - =[ Talking about kids being truthful! I haven't taken a shower yet from my 10k run and I do look like a need a shower lol.

Nuevo año 2024

Evan is about to turn 6, and still prefers to speak Spanish while also acquiring English. He’s new thing right now is saying “bruh” hahaha.  Ethan, is following his big brothers foot steps, and while he does prefer Spanish, he is more Spanglish driven then Evan.  What I’m struggling right now is controlling the use of bad words they’re uttering everyday. The ones they prefer are English: “Butt hole” “Booty head” “fucking nuggets” “fucking…” oh my, now that I’m actually writing them out, they sound awful. I have to confess, they get this from me.
