Little things that make my day!!!

I know that I say this a lot, but it is amazing how time flies and how fast your child grows. Lately Tressa has been doing some funny, amazing things that just make mine and Ken's day.

Earlier this week, she counted from one to ten in Spanish. For those of you who don't know, Tressa loves to watch "Dora the Explorer" and "Go, Diego, Go". In one episode (the Egg Hunt courtesy of Mimi) Dora counts the eggs she got on her hunt and counts them from one to twelve in Spanish. That is the only thing we can think of at where she came up it. However, I do work on some Spanish with her and English as well. We are still working on counting in English, right now she says, "1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 2". We are continuing to work with her on numbers.

This morning while driving to church, Tressa would quiz me on animal sounds. She would say to me, "Mommy, what cow say?" or "Mommy, what cat say?" If I didn't respond quickly to her question, she would answer her own question. I wonder where she got that from. It is amazing what kids learn just by paying attention to the people and their surroundings. I guess Ken and I better watch what we say and do around Tressa. Who knows what she will pick up.

I remember Emma counting in Spanish that she learned from Dora. It cracked me up. Maggie does it too, so I guess Dora is somewhat of a good influence.

I teach the Sunbeam class at church and it is shocking (and hilarious) what these kids pick up from home. Honestly, no secret is safe!
