Katy talks all. the. time. Most of what she says is either narration, a request for something, repeating something she heard or remembers, or nonsensical babble. Every now and then, however, she throws in a little on-the-spot critical thinking and it's usually pretty funny. Below is one such recent conversation:
(Katy is sitting at her table drawing. I am sitting in a rocking chair nearby)
Katy: "Mom va a dibujar?" (Is mom going to draw?)
Mom: "No, no quiero. Quiero dormir. Puedo dormir?" (No, I don't want to. I want to sleep. Can I sleep?)
Katy: "No."
Mom: "Porque no puedo dormir?" (Why can't I sleep?)
Katy: long pause, staring at my face...."Los ojos estan abiertos" (literally translated: "the eyes are open," but knowing the context and that pronouns are still very (VERY) tricky for Katy, I know she meant, "Your eyes are open.").
I guess she was looking at my face waiting for me to close my eyes. Silly girl.

I love how she is growing up bilingual :) I can't wait to talk with her in Spanish.
