Waffle

Someone taught Kyle & Emily to count in Spanish!! Sadly, I don't know if it was their babysitter who is from Argentina and speaks fluently and is just amazing or if they got it from a toy that also counts in Spanish or if it is from Dora. Nonetheless, we love it! I had no idea they knew it until about 3 weeks ago when Kyle was taking pieces of cheese and salami from his plate and putting them on the counter and counting - "uno, dos, fres, waffle, cinco!" I was putting away dishes but heard this and spied as he did this. I asked him to repeat because it was so amazing! He did and proudly counted again in Spanish! Now loving that "cuatro" is "waffle" I called in Jeff so he could hear it! Now when we ask him to count, he knows we just want to hear him say waffle, but he amuses us and loves showing off his Spanish counting skills. And Emily, too, knows how to count in Spanish, but she actually says "cuatro" and is very proud of her counting.
