2 Years Old



Yo: "Vale, y como te sientes ahora de 2 anos?"
Vale: "Me siento aqui!" - mostrando la silla donde se sentaba...



The birthday party was a blast! He is still talking to himself "Birthday boy, birthday boy".

More naughty than his big brother

Just figured out how to get to the top rack of the dishwasher.

Day Care Art

A small part of Martin's art during the 2 summer months they went to a full-time home-based day care (now all glued on the wall of his room):

And some of Vale's art:

The top right drawing is a portrait of Vale by his brother. The explanation reads:
'Esto es Vale. Se esta comiendo las cartas. Tiene 2 cartas en cada mano. Esta jugando con papi i Martin.'
And yes - Vale's teethmarks are on most of the memory game cards... :)

The Yesterday Tense

"Mamo, do you remember yesterday when we were in Punta Cana and we danced with the other kids and there was the sea and we slept there...? I want to go again to Punta Cana..."
"Mamo, do you remember when we went to the pool... in YMCA... yesterday... and Vale was there..."
"Mamo, do you remember when your car broke? Yesterday... And baba and diado were there... Why did it break?"
"Mamo, do you remember when we went to see the animals? And gave them food... Yesterday, mamo. Why don't we see them again?"

Three Times the Love

This is how Martin parts with me for the night:
"I love you too! Y te quiero mucho! y... y...
и те обичам много!"

Music and Languages

As soon as I start the car and Vale hears NPR on, he starts 'Mama, mama, mama, mmmm...' which means he wants to listen to music.
As soon as I switch to music Martin starts:
'This song is in Bulgarian... This song is in Spanish... This song is in English...'
So, here comes Pitbull with 'I know you want me (Calle ocho)'...
Martin: 'Esa es de Simon.' - meaning Simon likes it. 'Habla como en Miami - como Simon.'
I: 'Como se habla en Miami?'
Martin: 'En Espanol y en Ingles.'

Soon comes some Tarkan music.
I: 'So, what language is this one in?'
Martin: 'Mmmm... Mmmmm... Ne znam (I don't know).'
I: 'Of course you don't! This is Turkish.'
