Wow- Dora the Explorer

[Sirrahsim]

Tyler watched Dora this afternoon while I was doing dishes and has been saying something like "Salta" all afternoon. Our conversations go like this:
T: Mommy, say Salta! <bouncing up and down>
M: Salta
T:Very good Mommy! Salta now! <bouncing up and down>
M: Salta
T: Very good Mommy!
(repeat a zillion times)


We went through this routine countless times before I decided to look up just what he was saying. Turns out he was telling me to jump in Spanish :eek: and he knew exactly what he was saying :eek: :D I think the only reason he was bouncing instead of jumping was because he doesn't have the dexterity to jump yet!

Ah, but Mommy he wanted you to jump, too. I love Dora. I was visiting my great-nephews a few years ago and they were watching it (I think they were around 2 years old?). Anyway, I was hooked for about a year after that; even with no children in the house I still watched it on Saturday mornings. She is great. :)
