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.'

Pool Time
This was what made my day today:
- my nephew Simon's first jump in the pool for the day - he ran to get speed and splashed like a ball in the water. He is such a daredevil!
- Martin's increasingly brave jumps too (trying to follow everything his cousin does).

- Martin's increasingly brave jumps too (trying to follow everything his cousin does).
- Valentin's running like a borracho. For the casual viewer (and for me especially) it is a mirracle he is not falling on every step. And he is having the time of his life every time he runs.
- The almost 4 hour nap the kids took after the pool. At the same time!

Wet Kisses
I kissed Martin good night and headed for the door.
Martin: Mama, you give wet kisses.
I used to call his 'wet kisses' back in the time he was teething and giving me slobbery kisses. Then Vale started doing the same (and still does) and that is how Martin knows the term.
Martin: Mama, you love giving wet kisses?
Me: Yes, very much!
Martin: I only love a little giving wet kisses.
Me: Do you want to give me one?
Martin: Yes.
It felt pretty dry to me, but still made my day (and night)!

Speech Samples
Martin is about 2 and a half years old at that time.
Overheard from my home office while working:
Martin: Баба, ти оздравя, защото ти пи milk chocolate? И аз пия milk chocolate - да оздравеем! (meant to say 'chocolate milk')
М: Вале, Вале, не тука! Баба, махни го! Карай количката - този мотор на мене! Не Вале!
баба: Той няма да ти го вземе - той само го пипа!
М: Не искам той да пипа. Не искам! .... И после ще го остави! :)
баба: Ти наяаде ли се?
М: Още не!
баба: Хайде, закъсняхме за playground.
М: Пьрво да го изпиям milk chocolate... Виж! (finishing his drink)
баба: Браво на тебе!
М: Като дойдем и после ще изядем това.
