Happy Friday! Sevryn wanted to share with you what I think is the most adorable word in her current vocabulary: "l"hippopotame," which is "Hippopotamus" in French. I think it's hilarious that it has about 11 syllables when she says it! It's like her mouth starts going and just can't stop!
Sevryn responds and speaks more in French than English, but she understands both. I only speak French to her, and since I'm home alone with her every day, I know that's why it's coming more quickly than English for her. It's just amazing that children just absorb language so effortlessly at this age. I can switch between both languages in the same sentence and she doesn't even notice a difference!
She also picked up saying, "Pas pour toi," which means, "not for you." She learned it because the dogs were always following her around and trying to get a bite of her crackers or cookies, and I told her to say, "Non non, Romeo- c'est pas pour toi!" Now, she shakes her little finger and says, "na-na-na-na-na! Oh-mi-Oh! Na-na! Pas-pa-KA!"
We were in Montreal for Christmas, and took her to a McDonald's play park to burn off some energy. A little boy tried climbing up the slide as she was at the top, ready to go down, and she shook her little finger at him and said, "Pas pour toi! Pas pour toi!" So he got up and moved!
