These two were very interested in one another.

This Is How You Swing

Tilba

The kiddos are nearly bilingual due to their going to a Spanish-immersion daycare. I say "nearly" because Tillie seems to understand Spanish fully, but she almost always answers questions in English. My favorite thing though is when she peppers her English with cute little Spanish cognates. For instance, she always talks about the playground with the "tuba" and she is referring to the playground that has a tube slide. As far as I can tell, the Spanish word is actually "tubo" but I'm not correcting any part of it--partly because I already tried and she insisted I was wrong. But also, because it makes me giggle to think of there being a giant sousaphone for kids to play with there.

Dust

The children were enchanted by dust in the sunbeam. It is enchanting...until you're old and jaded, like me, and you think it is gross.
