Hunter is just about 2.5 years old and now that he talking more his personality has really started to really show. He is really starting to crack us up now. Here are some of the things that he says to us on a daily basis to us:
1). He used to say "more" very clearly but now that he is in this bilingual school he says "mas" which means more. On top of that he has "more" and "mine" mixed up too for some reason (English form). So whenever he wants "more" of something he will say, "mine" and then when I correct him and ask, do you mean "more" he will quickly respond and say "Mas"! Its so funny. Another Spanish word that he throws out there all the time is "agua" and to him "agua" means milk and water. So I always have to double check with him for which one he wants and either go to the fridge for the milk or to our water cooler for water because it doesn't just mean "water" to him. Just an FYI, when our bilingual friends come over and speak to him in Spanish and ask him to do things he knows exactly what they are saying and he goes and does it. We are very impressed that he knows so much Spanish already!
2). There's a park right in the beginning of our neighborhood, so every time we leave and enter it, he always screams, "P-a-r-tttt"....so recently, we've been correcting him and telling him that its, "Par-kkk" but when we tell him that we really stress the "kuh-kuh" part so now when he repeats it back to us he says, "Part---ku-ku-ku". LOL.
3). At times when we are outside and Millie wants to play, I have Hunter go find her ball so that he can throw it to her. Well, sometimes Millie just starts running all around Hunter because she's excited and wants him to play with her and Hunter for whatever reason hates it.. So he will yell at her and tell her to "Go away, Meh"...So once Millie goes away, Hunter then goes and finds her ball and will run around her and pretty much tease her with it. Which I have to tell Hunter that isn't nice.
4). Hunter is always telling us to sit down. We've had to correct that one too because it used to come out as, "sh-it down, daddy"..hahaha! So now its more of a "Seeet down, daddy". Ohhh, my silly boy.
5). Also, for whatever reason, Hunter doesn't say, "yes" but rather "okay". One morning, I had brought him to school after him being home from a stomach virus that I thought went away. Sure enough, when he sat down at his little table to eat breakfast with his buddies, he puked everywhere. LOL. So I took him into their bathroom there and cleaned him up before we went home and I told him that, "its okay and asked if he wanted to go home (I was going to bring him back home regardless of his answer)..he replied very loudly with relief that I asked him, "Home? Ohhhkay, Hunter go home". It was so cute and I'll never forget that.
These are just a few that I jotted down the other day. I'm sure there are so many more. I captured this video (its actually 2 clips, same conversation) of Hunter talking to Sean on the phone while he was at work one day. Which by the way, he just started having conversations with him and whoever else calls on the house phone. He also gets confused with the house phone versus my cell phone when we call his grandparents because we usually just FaceTime with them so he thinks that the house phone does the same thing when he talks on it. He will pull the house phone from his ear and hold it up to something that he thinks they can see. Its so funny.
He cracks me up. I'm looking forward to more and more hilarious words and conversations that we will have with him. He's growing up so fast!
