Happy Birthday Eliza!

We can't believe it's already been two years! You are an amazing little girl and we love you so much!

Cuidado!

We're not a bilingual household by any means, but we have a few phrases we've sprinkled in the family lexicon.

With the phrase "be careful" we often say the Spanish equivalent "cuidado". Unfortunately, Eliza now yells it out like a battle cry when she's in a precarious spot. She might as well be saying "no fear" or "Geronimo". So it's CUIDADO....followed by a swan dive off the couch! CUIDADO.... I'm running with dangerous household objects! CUIDADO...I'm a maniac on the playground!

Lesson learned. Warnings are open to interpretation and leave the Spanish to the fearless!

Happy Ween!

Happy Ween is what Eliza kept saying yesterday. We couldn't quite get her to say Halloween; she did say trick or treat a few times. We went to a toddler costume party over at Michelle, Jim and Ethan's place and then all went trick or treating together. It was totally adorable and a lot of fun. Then we stopped by Marna's and Cody's and by that point Eliza was completely sticky and really enjoying a sucker from her pumpkin. I had to fight her to brush her teeth before bed. This morning the first thing Eliza did was ask to put her turtle costume back on and then went and found her pumpkin. Unfortunately I forgot to hide most of the candy last night after she passed out. We did let her have a few more pieces.
