(She is actually eating tilapia and mashed potatoes.) Aqui pregunto a Emma, "que comes, gata?" y luego, "no, no comes gata, comes pescado!" pero ella dice que no, que esta comiendo gata jaja. De verdad esta comiendo papas y pescado.
So Emma learned the word "gata" (cat) over the Christmas break, but she didn't start saying it regularly until a couple of weeks ago. We went to dinner at Eric's house, Emmanuel's friend from work, and there were 2 cats and 2 dogs there. Each time she saw a dog or cat, she yelled, "ga-taa!" Ever since then, these are all the "cats" she's met. She pretty much calls any animal or insect, or even President Bush today, gata. We were getting the car waxed the other day, and we were waiting outside. There was a grasshopper on the building post, and I presented it to her as a bug. She didn't want to say bug, I guess, because she just burst out as loud as she could as we were walking away, "gata!" as she pointed to the post. I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
La cancion favorita de Emma
Esta es para ti, suegra! Tenemos una semana tratando de capturar un video bien en que Emma baila, y aqui esta. Su favorita cancion es "si las gotas de lluvia" con Barney. Emmanuel arreglo la tele para que Emma podia ver un video de Barney por internet. No le gusta ver la tele mucho a Emma, pero cuando esta Barney, si!
So Emmanuel is brilliant and figured out that we could use the Wii to get the internet on the TV, and so he presented Emma with the Spanish version of "if all the raindrops" with Barney. The first time he did it, she was dancing up a storm. But of course I took the video vertically and don't have a way of flipping it and uploading it (stupid Movie Maker formatting) so here is a toned down version of what she does when she hears this song. Oh, and interesting fact, we tried out the same video in English and she wouldn't pay any attention to it.
p.s. anytime Emma gets really happy, like in church when she meets a new friend, she lifts her dress up in the air to show her belly?!
