Recent Tres-isms

Uno and Dos have taught Tres how to give high fives. We've also tried to teach her "bones" -- the fist bump ala her cousin and birthday buddy, Peter -- but she is obsessed with fives to the exclusion of everything else. Her diction isn't all that great, though, so when she puts her hand out to be smacked she doesn't actually say, "High five!" No, my sweet baby thrusts her hand in the air, a big smile on her face, and squeals, "Die!"



DH and I got a babysitter last night while we went out to play canasta with K and W, two of his elderly patients. We came home to discover that the babysitter had taught Tres to say hello, in addition to her standard hi. She smiled and waved to me when I walked in the door, cooing "Hallo! Hallo! Hallo!" Super duper cute. I took her in my arms, gave her a smooch, and told her to say bye to the sitter. Tres waved her little hand again and -- in a perfectly logical extension of what she'd just learned -- said, "Byelo!"

Oooh, I could just eat that kid up. :-)
