Talk It Up

It has been a while since I bragged on my kids but damn if Nuriya ain't the smartest kid on the block. The past couple months have resulted in a veritable explosion of loquaciousness from Nuriya heretofore known as #1. There was a plateau for a while where #1 was pulling the same old words and phrases from her limited lexicon for a few months. Strangely, this rise in fluency corresponds directly with the arrival of Diego, Dora's older cousin, who happens to have his own TV show as of late summer. Come to think of it, this may explain how #1 knows uno, does, and tres, yet in english she goes 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9.

So, what have we heard lately?

"No touch (body part, typically: hair, foot, arm, butt) me."
"Pa-ee-sa you want come upstairs?"
"Mommy, whatr you talking?"
Me: "Do you like monkeys?" after watching King Kong preview. #1: "Dora" [reference to Boots the monkey], followed by funny face Boots makes, followed by "I cared [scared] Daddy!"
"No you care [scare] me!"
"Knockknockwho?boohooahahahahah!"

This is what it's all about folks.
