Things he said...

I have been told by friends that it is important to record your children speaking as they grow up, because when you go back and listen to them speaking, it is amazing the memories that come back. I think I have done this once or twice with Paulo, but I haven't done that for a while and now his speech has gotten even better, and also, he is sadly interestingly starting to sound like me. So, in the interest of preserving this for posterity, here are some of the hilarious things he's said in the past month/week/days that have blown my mind:

 

• (When I was taping some boxes shut for our move): "No mama! no hagas ruido!" (No mom, don't make noise!) --- this makes me laugh because lately I am always telling him not to make noise when Emilio is sleeping, so I almost feel bad for the poor little guy.

 

• Me: "Paulo, ya terminaste de hacer pipi? (are you done going pee?)" Paulo: "No mama, claro claro claro que no!"  (No mom, of course of course of course not!) --- I honestly don't know where he picked this up, surely it was me, but I am not sure when.

 

• "Ahhhh Chihuahua..." (Ohhhhh darn...)-- he said this one when he was going pee and missed the bowl. I'm glad he didn't pick up anything worse, but still not exactly proud of myself for this one... and too bad I can't blame Rob for it either...

 

• Me: "Paulo que soñaste?" (Paulo, what did you dream of?) Paulo: "Con unos globos amarillos que tronaban y asustaban a las personas" (with yellow balloons that popped and scared people). This one is hilarious because he is OBSESSED with balloons, and for some reason he has an obsession for yellow lately. He also loves popping balloons.

 

• "Oh my God!" when falling off his bike last week. This one is thanks to the bike fails videos he's been watching on You Tube.

 

And that's all I can remember right now!
