Kids Convo

So every now and then, I'm not sure how much the kids are learning.  I know that Eve is as good as a parrot is at saying what I tell her to and Joe's pronunciation of even the most difficult words is fantastic.  But when you have that day when every rule is questioned and every boundary is pushed and you have to remind your kids that none of the rules have changed from yesterday, or last week, or last year, I have to admit - I wonder!


Then I hear these great little snippets of learning -


Joe: 'you can't come in my house that way.'   Eve changes her pony's position.


Joe: 'no, not that way.'


Eve a little exasperated: 'then how do I get in?  Where is the door?'


Joe: 'there is no door.'


Eve: 'what?'


Joe: 'you have to say abre.'


Eve: 'ok, abre.'


Joe: 'come in!'


For those of you who don't speak Spanish, "abre" means open in Spanish.  I guess Dora and Diego aren't so bad after all.
