That's For Big Girls

Sarah, whenever she likes or wants to do something:

That's for big girls. Not for boys. For big gowols.

Tan!

Sarah has a word that she uses to say something is all done - tan-tan. It's a Spanish slang word of Mama's. Sarah actually cutely mispronounces it as "tom-tom".

So today Stephen was helpfully sharing some cucumber slices at Tia Meche's house and when the slices were gone, he declared ...

Stephen: Tan!

Papa: Ya se acabaron todos? (They're all gone?)

Stephen: Nods head, moves eyebrows to indicate "Yes".

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are enjoying Thanksgiving in Mexico this year. Mama cooked a big turkey in Nana's wood stove all day yesterday, but that's about as far as the traditional food goes this time. Our next big meal will be Christmas with Grandma & Grandpa.

Lights Out

Almost forgot, it's a regular occurrence in Bacerac for the electricity to unexpectedly go off for hours at a time. It happens to the water, too. They both were out today for several hours.

Gimme Five! Again! Now You! Again!
OK Now You! And You! Again! Again!

Stephen loves to give five. But once is not enough. He likes to give five a half dozen times. He also likes to give kisses by the bunches.

One time, he was very excited about something while Mama was holding him and he gave five to Papa, then quickly spun around 180 degrees to give five the other way.

Mama: There's nobody there Stephen!

Stephen: (Cued with hand in air, ready to give five)

Mama and Papa: (Laughing)
